    Hi from Alabama....
    The babies are doing hunkydory. We put up the tree this weekend, and they are leaving it alone (for now!). However, they are both displaying new and amazing ways to get naughty...

    Ode is quite the athlete. He has perfected a standing leap from the floor to the kitchen counter, 3'2".

    Nu has figured out how to unscrew jar lids. One paw on the jar and push with her nose untill the contents spill out...

    My canine Bonnie & Clyde.

    Merry Christmas!

    ...............
    TOO FUNNY !

    This is hilarious! It is nice to get wonderful messages - from anyone, especially your puppy's owner like this. :)

    The above quote struck me so I have to comment. Duke does this sometimes. Like a flying magic trick he does - from the floor, jumps strait up vertically into the air, propelling himself over a lap, landing on the sofa. It's surprising / shocking - we all look at each other . . . like "Did you see that??" LOL :D

    This is my favorite part! I too emailed my breeder sharing this info with them. I couldn't believe it until I saw C3 UP on the table with NO running start LOL!!

    I had nose surgery a few months ago and when I got home I was worried the dogs would be so excited and jump all on me, but it was crazy how mild mannered and dare I say tame/domesticated they were. I swear they knew I was hurt and gave me a day or so of good behavior. They are truly great dogs to own!

    Jess - why don't you put a proposal to each of the individual clubs that they take a Discover Dogs stand. There are new people in the breed now who may be more interested. Also I do know that some of the breeds at DD this year had asked for double stands precisely to give space so that dogs could be rested without being crowded in. It wasn't a case of tired dogs biting but as you know Basenjis object to having strangers pushing into their faces. There are plenty of other breeds who would also object to this. After all I'm sure that nobody would put a dog of bad temperament on the stand. That wouldn't do the breed any good!! I remember one Crufts when one of the basenjis went for the judge and headlines were 'Biting Basenji'!! You can imagine the uproar and the disservice it did to the breed! I'm not sure who would ascertain that the information would be accurate though. I do know that some of the info on the club websites is incorrect!!!

    QUOTE=LeeL: I have noticed that it is a lot easier to accidentally train a Basenji than on purpose. ;) And not necessarily something you WANT them to learn!

    Ft. Funston is amazing! Some years back I visited a friend in San Francisco and we took her Husky there several times…doggie heaven! Worth a long drive to go there once in a while! Anne in Tampa, with a few good dogparks, but nothing is like Ft. Funston!
