Milosh & Zeus Instagram

South Orange County area rancho rancho Santa margarita area... my boys would love some play dates...

@DaveampJoanSkup

oh hey!

Is this bourbons mom n pop? this is the Milosh n Zeus weve met a few times at 'happy tails'!

hello!

so my boys use puppia mesh harnesses (real soft) but my boy Milosh gets very startled at any popping noise ( motorcycle fire works pop etc...) hes gotten bettre but he once managed to escape the harness ( iam alsways 2 steps ahead so i catch him before he reacts) that said i notice many basenjis have collars= do they work better on keeping them safe?

Dade or broward? or closeby....my 2 boys would love to meet!

@Dsims1976 really should contact BRAT -
i didnt want togo through the puppy stage as well- and hes been such a pussy cat!!!

i got my 2 year old basenji to accompany my other boy and hes been awesome!!!!

thank you folks!

great info there Debra.

went with Nature's Logic Canine Turkey Meal Feast (ordered from chewy) seems its an easier food to grab online.

ill keep you guys posted!

also have a question- anyone feeds their pups yogurt for treats sake? how often or what brand, and how?....

reguards!

1.Nature's Logic Canine Turkey Meal Feast

2.Carna4 Hand Crafted Dog Food

3.ACANA Grasslands Regional Formula Grain-Free Dry Dog Food

so- currently they are eating grain free blue buffalo- but i really want to take them out of that, i know it maybe a little late in the game ( they are 7)- but i think its for the best health wise.
in their whole life span ive changed it once , they started with taste of the wild ,then to blue buffalo....
Vet says they are fine- but i want to start feeding them healthier.

has anyone tried any of these 3 brands with their basenjis?

ah! been wanting to get that bed as well for outdoors looks comfy.

Both Boys are 7!- Milosh adopted from a rescue (upfront)- Zeus adopted from BRAT!(in the back)

my life.

So i have 2 basenji pups (6 yrs old)

I had Milosh since a puppy- and later adopted Zeus at 2yrs from BRAT. now they are both 6.

and well, my issue is Milosh is very vocal.

he just thinks that everyone should be in their place. if we walk down the stairs and Zeus is also coming down the stairs he growls- i know they respect each others space - and there are no fights that break out. - he DOES NOT attempt to bite.

Zeus is very mellow and calm- and ignores his growls. i just want Milosh to respect and understand that Zeus is entitled todo as he pleases without Milosh approval.

is this normal having 2 basenjis?

1- they are not from the same liter.
2- they are both males
3- they dont dog fight./ they play with one another when they like.

mine is 5yrs 30lbs- hes wide chest boy so.

but when he starts to go a bit over i feed him

-1/2 cup of dry in the morning
-a treat at noon ( trainning treat)
-1/2 dry food cup mixed with 1/2steam vegetables (brocoly/carrots/coliflower= no corn!) mixed with water in the evening before 6pm = loves the stuff!

i use blue buffalo basic grain free on both of my boys. no issues. used to feed the taste of the wild (until that recall they had years ago)

they dont.

lol- they hate anything wet- unless there is a squirrel running through itl

zeus & milosh, taking milosh for a teeth cleaning-he will be there most of the day.

was thinking bringing both with me for the ride- but since iam only leaving one with the vet i dont want to stress him out as me n zeus leave him there- but i also dont want to leave zeus at home alone as i we leave to the vet…what should i do????

they always go on walks together!-any suggestions?

I spoke to a trainer. and she met with milosh, she said hes fine, not to muzzle him (which i wasn't anyways) and if it occurs again 'time him out' on the leash for 5min. till he calms down. and play with him after hes unleashed-repeatedly he will 'get it'

and aside from the obvious that the springer and the owner are recluse at the park , speaks for itself. I wont peruse a solution with them any longer.

I already have spoken to the park office and multiple people at the park and a trainer. and also here on the forums(although many don't agree here with my story).

Milosh is a pretty healthy socialite and sour apples at the park wont stop us from having a good time.

well- my conclusion was that i will be avoiding this lady and her dogs. talking with her was nonconstructive and pointless - sad to say.

i have alternative parks and places to take my babies. it just saddens me to see people like this who are unwilling to communicate when they are their voice for the pet.

@eeeefarm:

It doesn't read quite that way to me. If I am properly understanding the OP, the Basenji initiates the incident. I don't think the question has been answered as to whether the Springer is having issues with other dogs, or just Milosh. If it's a general problem with the Springer, then sure. But if there is only an issue when Milosh is present, the blame has to be at least shared, if not put on him. (I would concur about muzzles, although most Basenjis I have known are agile enough to take care of themselves when at a disadvantage…..assuming they perceive they are at a disadvantage!)

Obviously the springer has had issues in the past (ive been told by older park vets), which is why the owner is over protective and dosent like her springer socializing with hyper active dogs. I also feel one main reason could be they are trying to protect her as she starts to scream-dosent help matters much.

just like my Zeus dosent like puppies all on his face i make it aware to the owner oh my Zeus isnt too friendly with pups and Zeus just hisses (like a cat) nothing more, and the owner of their pup isnt offended .

this lady has had issues with her dog although hes also a bit older (6-7?) and one of her dogs has a hip problem -which makes her more sensitive when a dog rushes to her springers- still the fact remains the owner is very 'aloof' to discuss this and feel shes at the 'right' which she actually isnt .
considering iam trying to solve this issue w/o her help. and rudely insults my attendance towards my dogs.

yes, milsoh maybe hyper and aggressive when socializing, but that can be worked out by the dogs themselves supervised by their owners. not the other way around.

***a side note: ive found all her history by word of mouth. not her, she is not very friendly. unfortunately only rude comments have been exchanged.
