@jordandwilly - Thanks for clearing that up.... 9-5 is just fine, IMO.... I work and have always had to leave mine when I was at work, never an issue. That said, we were able to set up the house that access to the backyard (with 10 to 12' privacy fences) with a doggy door and a dog room in the house for them, Locks on the gates so there is NO access for anyone. Dogs sleep 90% of the day so being at work doesn't bother them... never have mine even when I had a litter in the house (And have been in the breed as owner/breeder for 35+ years). You can hire a dog walker to take them out mid day..which is a good solution. and give them a mid day meal depending on their age. I do not and never have used free feeding, period. Especially if you have more that one... you never know what/who is eating what. And you can set up camera's on line to watch them from "afar".... LOL. Keep in mind people that many of us need to work and have day jobs. The most important thing is the time you need to spend with them when you are home. Example would be, if you have young children and you work... when you get home you are going to spend your time with your human children... NO dog would be happy if left out... they need their time also because they are a family member and need as much time as a human child. Again in my opinion
Getting information about Basenjis from the magazine rack
-
Does anybody read and/or purchase the breed specific magazines sold in most pet shops and pet supply stores? For example: Dog World, Dogs USA, Puppies USA, Dog Fancy.
When you got your Basenji, did you seek out information about the breed in any of these kinds of magazines?
Did any of these magazine have any value to you when you were looking for information about Basenjis? If so, in what way?
Do they now? -
I checked out Dogs Canada for breeders then also researched online.
-
probably, but that was 20+ years ago when i got my first basenji. i think now i'd be more apt to check the internet first
-
I used to years ago, just to see what was in there, but not any more… and I don't know of anyone that has in the past contact me about a puppy ever say they used/read any of those magazines
-
if i see a magazine with a basenji article ill buy it. For now i buy and old one.
