My Rosa wrote the "How To Be a Basenji DIVA" manuscript - as many rules there were, it was so worthy of a 'script' at the end! She, and all her offspring, had spring and fall heats, but I only bred her once in the spring. That produced one puppy, my Captain. She always ruled over her pups, except when Captain came along - she did what HE said when he was about 2 weeks old!
Off leash can be OK…..

We have done some practice in fenced in areas off leash to practice following & responding to a sound..ie-smooch smooch means come follow me & you get to have TURKEY
& they actually stick around.In an open space we've practiced using a 30ft training/hunting leash. We're trying to train a solid call back so that we can go lure coursing
-
Don't forget even having a sirloin steak in your pocket won't stop them from chasing a furry critter…:D
-
You GOT THAT RIGHT??!! LOL
But maybe if I had a squirrel in my pocket LOL

If you have access to a "Pork Chop Suit" that could work:D

-
Where exactly can you buy a pork chop suit or a squirrell?

I don't know why, but B's hate those things(the tails perhaps?). Our's got one in the backyard (RIP) and there's another one running around somewhere without a bushy tail.:D

Yessss! I know what your saying BBoy. I found a squirrel tail on my driveway last fall. In January, when the BRAT rep came in for a home inspection, we let Duke outside to show her how well he does with the e-fence. The squirrels went scrambling up the trees. BRAT rep noticed immediately the one without the tail. LOL
As far as letting Duke off leash - There is only one place we allowed Duke off-leash - Waaay up north at my father-n-law's cabin. He's got 20 acres and surrounded by state land. Though he's a B-mix - he's got all Basenji mentality. Thankfully - there wasn't a deer, bear or squirrel in eyeshot during those times off leash. Thankfully, he would come with some encouragement. It was nice that he came when called (no critters in sight) We'll be going back up again soon - I'll have to remember to bring pork chops as good insurance. btw - loved the kid in the squirrel suit pic.;)

My son uses a foxtail he has on a fishing rod to play with the B's…....a few of them will chase it till the tounges drag on the ground. It's fun to watch them.:)
