To each their own opinion Debra, I am working with Oakley on other issues right now and at twenty nine months he is still maturing. I don't live my life by the "what ifs", as of right now I'm able to be with him all the time when I'm not working so yes, I cater to his wanting to be around me, it's not rewarding for me to have a dog that's not independent of me, but it's the reality..and until I'm ready to address it 100% I haven't…he has made significant progress in crating and barrier frustrations...so I'm happy with the progress, and frankly..these other issues needs to be dealt with before addressing this...in order to make me leaving him with others successful. He's a happy, healthy young boy with a complex and stubborn mind, I'm going to work with him and not fight him on evolving and adapting his behaviors. However, your concern is noted and appreciated.
Tillo's hips and elbows..

..are in perfect shape
We had him x-rayed two weeks ago. He did wonderful without any anaesthetics and the Doc told us it all looked very nice. We got home from a small vacation today and found the results in our mailbox..
Hips: HD A (= Excellent)
Elbows: ED FreeOf course we are very happy with these results!

yay for happy hips

Can Tillo get more perfect?? I just love him to bits! Driving back from a dog show yesterday I started talking about him to my husband. Janneke, you are lucky I do not live near you!

Why? Would you try to steal him…?! I would love to have more Basenji people near me!

Congratulations on Tillo's scores.

OH NO! I could never 'steal'. But permanently 'borrow'? That's another story. I just think he is stunning and I love all of the adventures he has that you share with us.
