    Let me first start off by saying Chance + Snow = ROLMAO :D
    He hates snow. Our poor little guy stayed in his turtle neck dog sweater all the time. If you would take it off he would go right back to it and want you to put it back on him. :o
    Normally in sunny Ca, Chance will run to the door all the time wanting to go out. In cold Lake Tahoe our little guy did not want to go out. He perfers to potty on trees but there but the snow was piled high next to the tree. When he would climb up the snow, he sank in and would squirm out so quick and try to run back to the front door. ( I have to laugh. It was a sight to see)
    While driving home, we pulled over at one of those look out points and I held him. One guy commented "thats an interesting Terrier you have there" Ha!
    "Terrier I replied??? No he's a basenji…an African dog" then the guy replied "no wonder he is cold" :rolleyes:

    Isn't that funny… when Ann took Crystal to Tahoe, she loved playing in the snow.... then after sleeping by the warm wood stove...

    I can't believe that some B's love the snow and others freak out. Hahaha

    Here is a picture of Crystal from Tahoe in the snow… she played for over an hour... and was particularly interesting in the "birds"...

    Vanessa,
    What did you to do Chance?? He loved the snow as a little baby!! He's become a California Sun Bunny!!
    Look back at Chance at 7 weeks old :-)

    No snow here in Portland, but there is over a foot of snow at my Mom's house… though there was only a bout 6" when I left yesterday afternoon...

    Chance's new cousins were born later this year, so they will probably miss the first snow of the year :-(

    Like Sharron, our's love the snow but hate rain and wet. I don't get it.:confused:

    They just look even more barootiful against the white snow.;)

    Our Sally Loves it. She runs around like a chicken with her head cut off. It really is cute! She even rides the snow-mobile, or sled with the boys.

    Please post pics. Love to see Bs enjoying the snow! We had some snow last year. Having spent almost all of his life in sunny Southern California, Spencer was not impressed. Not one little bit!

    I'm afraid If I do decide to get another I won't have a chance to introduce them beforehand as it Will probably be a puppy I bring from the US.. I doubt there will be a problem since she will be a young puppy…

    @tanza: Just an FYI, most of us start letting our pups lure practice even as young as 10 to 12 wks…. granted it is just a short straight away, but gives them some sense of the game. And usually by 7 to 8 months most all B pups can do a full course. Pat, thanks very much for that info. I trust your comments. I know Kipawa would love luring. There is a club that does luring that is about a 40 minute drive from where we are. They don't have any events planned yet - not even 'fun days'. I will keep an eye on their website. http://www.meetup.com/Tri-Cities-Dog-Coursing-AgilityTraining/

    @Quercus: I am pretty sure the spinning was an initiation rite ;) I have never heard of that before…but I can just imagine you saying 'well, ooookay' :) Hang in there, it is always hardest with your first show dog...try to have fun! That's exactly what I said but it was right after I said "Seriously, you want me to do what?" :D The judge was a long-time basenji breeder so I figured she knew what she was talking about. @Quercus: I guess the moral of this story is that you will meet some jerky judges while you do this, and you may feel embarrassment and shame in their rings…but you will live through it, and be able to laugh later. The behavior of people who wish to shame you says more about them, than it does about you :) my inspirational message of the day. Thanks, I like that inspirational message. It's a good mantra for when I get a jerky judge. :)

    I have to agree with Andrea, it scared the crap out of us too. Mick is not a vocal boy but when he does Baroo I wish he would do it again. It's so sweet.
