Janneke, thanks for your comments. Your answers totally help me make sense of your situation, and what Tillo is doing. I would be the same as you - the human might want the dog to get their points, but is it the best for the dog? In your situation, I certainly agree with your train of thought. I am a big Tillo fan, so naturally want him to do as well as he can in any show, but I can see how his behaviour could lead to worse things down the road if he learns that he can growl and get no reprimand for it. You are doing the best thing.
Was zoey really that small

I can't believe how much she has grown. These were all taken the first few weeks we had her. The first pick is from before we had her I fell in love with that little face.

She is beautiful, what a cutie.
How old is she now?

She is only 5 months but double her size. I knew I would love her but she has wormed her way into everyones hearts here.

I know what you mean, dogs are very lovable but Basenjis, they just melt everybodies hearts.
