Marco Polo does it too, VERY LOUDLY. I've about jumped out of my skin on several occasions because of it. Silly old man senji.

@etzbseder: Medjai, luckily knows "dog park". While I was getting work done on my house, the worker let Medjai slip by him. The guy was a buddy from the dog park and I just heard through the screen "Medjai" and I knew he got out so I went straight for the car and asked if he wanted to go to the "dog park" and luckily Medjai came to hop right in. It really helps when you don't actually chase after them. Great idea, Etzbseder! Next time (and I just know there will be a next time) my great escaper does her thing, I'll try that - we open the back of the car and yell "up" when we are actually doing the dog park, and they always go straight into the car.

Cody will actually eat lettuce and will often beg the leftover from my salad. He snarfs down the lettuce carrot peas or whatever else is leftover. Totally freaked out my friend who was keeping him while I was away b/c she was eating a salad and he was begging. When she gave him a piece of lettuce he ate it and begged for more. She actually called me on my cell to make sure it was ok. :) He prefers ranch dressing. Thank you very much!

here in england its not a sight thats seen very often…......they are rather a rare sight. loads of them at the basenji shows tho. we have ours as a pet, prefering not to show.but do go to the odd show to meet other basenji`s ... wing commander (winco) is the name ofour boy.his breeder has Royal Air Force backgroung haha

Some good news! The owner in Texas found a friend on island here who will be traveling to Texas in a few weeks, and he came by and picked up Sophia to take care of her until then. He says he'll carry her onto the plane, and I'm so glad it worked out. I had actually had people ready to adopt her if I wound up leaving island before the owner figured something out, rather than sending her to the Humane Society, but I'm much happier knowing that the little girl will be home with her mommy soon. :) Thanks to all who helped with advice on getting Paco and Sophia to at least tolerate each other!

Just a note here. Fish Oil vs. Flaxseed Oil Flaxseed oil contains more Omega-3's than fish oil. However, the Omega-3's in flaxseed oil are in an inactive form (ALA). Special enzymes are required to convert the inactive ALA into the active forms (EPA and DHA). Some animals, especially carnivores like dogs, do not have the required enzymes to do the conversion. Recent research shows that fish oil has more positive benefits on pets with disease, because the fatty acids contained in fish oil are readily available for use already in the converted form EPA and DHA. Particularly, fish oil has positive effects on dogs with inflammatory diseases, such as allergies, arthritis, kidney and heart disease, and cancer. Flaxseed oil does not seem to be as beneficial to dogs with inflammatory diseases. However, flaxseed oil seems to be anti-cancerous, and is also effective in improving the skin and coat conditions of dogs. Flaxseed oil can be a dietary source of soluble fiber. Increasing soluble fiber in the diet can help counter tendencies to constipation. Fish oil, therefore, is the preferred fatty acid supplement for dogs with inflammatory diseases. Flaxseed oil can be used to improve skin and coat conditions, and to counter constipation and perhaps inhibit cancer growth. Also flaxseed turns rancid quite quickly after it's ground up so it's best if you can grind only the amount needed and store the seeds in a glass jar in the frig.

My past Basenjis got alot of off leash time and I think that helped them in being well behaved. I have work to do with Buddy as he's very rambunctious and enthusiastic which makes off leash more difficult. He's calming down though.

oh man thats just up the road from me i wish i had a spare 400…. i would love to take her on such ashame does anyone know whats happened to this lil pup????

Under the covers, out of the covers, under the covers, out of the covers…....My husband has 3 of us to deal with (menopause is hell:eek:)!! Try buying a body pillow. It divides the bed and lets you sleep on your side with it between your knees which realigns the lower back and pelvis. If the dog takes it over, it slides away easily as opposed to trying to move a sleeping bag of cement. I have many lower back bone spurs and a ruptured disc. My pillow works wonders. Got my last one @ Walmart for $10.00.

You got to love companies that stand by their products..I have had a Lupine collar sent back too, curtesy of Otis, got it back within a week..and yes, only a few parts were left.. I will wait and order one of these for when I have a new basenji neck to wrap it around…

Yes, indeed and the dreadful thing is that they can still get the scent after the clothing is washed!! I have always had chewed pockets. At one time my dog walking jacket had holes in both pockets - from Basenjis chewing one side and sheep the other!!

Congratulations! A nice fenced yard = tired basenjis=good basenjis!

My Basenjis catch and kill wasps and have never got stung in doing so - their snap and release is too quick for them to get stung. However one did get stung on his foot when he trod on a dying bee. Often Basenjis get frightened of a particular thing when they sense their owner's fear. Are you afraid of wasps, Shelley?
