Oh, honey, you can't fix stupid!

SO well said, Sharron.

Our dog park group has extremes, several of the girls are very petite, weighing 15-16 lbs and looking great. There are a few very tall and slim boys, and a couple who are tall and, hmmm, not slim! Basically, we have the full spectrum of body types, some people are surprised they are the same breed with all the colors and sizes.

Sounds like you just have 2 ends of the spectrum, both look great to me.

Lovely - you could make greeting cards with them and add all sorts of stuff - love the butterfly one.

Sonny has only every barked at one person since he was a puppy….my mother :eek:.....he barks at her every time we go visit the house or he see her anywhere..and he barks & yodels till he feels she's given him enough attention! people always get a kick out of it when they see it because other wise he never makes a sound :p

I don't think you will have a problem….. I have switched between varieties with Franie and C-Me with no problems

Love the second pic!

So sorry for your loss..run free Ghost.

Glad Chief is settling well, he's a gorgeous looking Puppy.

@Forever:

Zoe on the other hand has turned into a little witch. As was suggested I think she is protective of chief. She even turned on Lizzy when she came over the first few minutes than they were fine. But all her previous doggy friends get snarled at when chief gets near them. I hope she settles soon. She has one old dog who looks forward to seeing her on his walks flinching around her now.

When Liyah was a baby - if Brando started to go off on her, Ruby would put herself in between Liyah & Brando. Ruby was very protective of Liyah when Liyah was a pup. Ruby doesn't interfere as much anymore - once in a while she gets involved - she pretty much just lets Brando handle it now.

She was also unable to leave. It is not uncommon for dogs to growl or even snap at other dogs who are in their space when they are on a leash or tie out because they do not have the ability to leave.

Also, alot of dogs are really rude and adult basenjis do not tolerate "rude" well. Many dogs rush up into other dogs' space which is very rude. So in the case of the Sheltie in the front yard, the provocation could very well have been the dog invading her personal space without her permission. The second incident could very well have been exactly what Pat said, her protecting her puppy pack member.

Wonderful news..so excited for all of you..

Max only has his tail down when he's sick, hurting or really scared (vet or thunder usually does it). I'm glad you're taking her to the vet. Hope she's better soon.

Forever Amber - I'm so pleased that you seem to be making good progress.
Hopefully this will continue and you won't need to distinguish the growl any more.

Happy New Year. No more new snow but we still have plenty on ground.

So all you guys were right now that zoey has had time to investigate it she is enjoying the snow. Too much! even though she is shivering with cold I have to force her in the house. Its funny watching her she will catch sight of the shifting snow as she walks stops to sniff it which sends out more flakes so she shoves her face in the snow which causes more snow to move then she pounces that. Even though she now seems to love it I still hate the cold missing california right about now.

My best friend's 2 German shepherds both sit in my lap when I go visit at their house. Not exactly a comfortable sit for me, but I love the dogs so I usually let them stay that way until I can't take the weight anymore.:eek: Seems to be a case of big dogs don't know they are big - small dogs don't know they are small. 🙂

Glad things are getting better.

They are growing so fast… Thabo will be one in 16 days.

Cute pics! And even if too late: Happy birthday! 🙂

Nice pics, Glad the two Dogs are getting along. And yes you probably need that second Basenji 😃

@Forever:

Yes we talked to one of the Bs owners right before we left her name was Laura (Tammen's Basenjis) She helped me out alot talking to me about zoe i'm so glad I met her.

There was a fuss after the showing that delayed the next breed (a whippet owner was very upset about that) we asked laura about it and she mentioned that about the behavior.

Laura is very nice, has very nice Basenjis and is a good breeder….
