Amazing New Toy

    I got this toy and all I can say is wow! Piper absolutely loves it. She’s never really gotten excited about toys outside and will only play for a minute or so with balls or flying disks, but with this she will chase it as long as I will throw it. It will easily roll the length of my backyard which is around 200 feet and takes lots of crazy hops that drive her wild. She of course doesn’t bring it back because what self-respecting basenji would retrieve, but it gives her a great opportunity to really stretch her legs and anything that tires her out makes me really happy.:)

    The video on the site doesn’t seem to work but here is the link to the youtube video

  • Just like the bunny at the lure trial!!!! (if it was real it would not come back either…ggg)

  • That's actually what I thought about when I saw it and I thought it would be good practice for coursing, or at least if nothing else it should help with conditioning.

    I see your post was back in Jan. so I hope you have your new basenji settled in. I also adopted a beasenji in Jan. She is my second. I adopted a 5 year old to be with my 3 yr. old, who had had 2 litters in the past and was bred for a 3rd one, but didn’t get pregnant. So the breeder, the same breeder our boy came from, decided to let her go to a forever home. I had to wait quite a while for her to be ready and I felt just like you. I couldn’t wait! I kept texting the breeder questions, request for photos, etc. When we picked her up she seemed comfortable with us right from the start. She has been a wonderful addition to our family, a good match for our 3yr. old boy. He’s a toughie but I think he’s met his match with her. He’s so much happier with his own friend. They love to be together. I hope your new pup is adjusting just as well as mine. Have fun. I think they make us laugh every day. Yes, you have to be on your toes with these guys, you have to make them a big part of your life. They can never just be a fixture. They are work but it’s worth it all. 3 years ago I was a newbie but not anymore, and I’m loving this wild ride.

    And I think that clicker training is the BEST way to train a Basenji. -Joanne

    I would suggest waiting until you get the little guy. Indi didn't have a name for abut 2 days. We had all these names in mind and none of them fit. Thats my two cents anyway (oh ya and because we did that I have a cool costume for him on haloween but I don't think I am going to get any cooperation on his end)

    The B I am fostering came with a de-stuffed…um...thing (I really couldn't tell you what it once was). When she doesn't get her way she will BAROOOOOO at us as loud as she can and then grab the stuffy and shake, shake, shake it and throw it in our general direction. If she could say "so there', I know she would.
