New Member, have question about yard

Basenji Talk
  • I know this may sound silly but I recently fenced in my backyard. It is about 67 feet deep and 110 feet wide. It is a nice big space and has just the usual back yard stuff, small patio, a small storage house, some plants, trees etc.

    Is there anything special I can add to the yard to make it more fun for my B mix? Right now he loves zooming around and that is great but do Basenjis need more? and if so what.

    I hope this makes sense it is very late (or early, depending on how you look at it)

    anyway,
    thanks!!

  • I like to add some stone paths in the yard for them to walk around on those "wet" days. They seem to not mind a wet stone as much as wet grass.

    They love sand…....a sand box of some type.

  • squirrel feeder

    some kind of perch next to your house so that they can look over the fence, and have a "high" place to sun worship

    Home is a dog's "territory" and sometimes they will protect it as such (especially against other dogs)… Possibly the breeder is concerned this would be an issue. Maybe she would consider meeting somewhere "neutral" with you and some of the dogs...

    And don't be fooled when someone says "oh he's a little angel". EL D came to me with a reputation as being very destructive but never did any damage once I got him home and my current Luny had a reputation for being very nice in the house and turns out he has a severe anxiety problem and will destroy anything by the door if I leave with him loose. So be sure to watch the pup/dog for awhile to see how s/he acts on its own and with other dogs and also pay attention to how a dog reacts to you, a stranger.

    @Jylly18: THanks everyone for the advice, she ended up being fine, I fed her this morning and no throw-up when we got home :) I was just worried cause she has never done it more than once before. Its funny about how you said you put her over the toilet, my husband managed to hold her over the garbage when she threw up, so she looked ridiculous but at least it made no mess! HaHaHa! That conjures up a picture!

    Hollie would simply chew up the plastic bottle to get to the treats. She has done this with EMPTY bottles. That's my B!
