Tall Dog

Off Topic
  • Well if I wanted a horse, I'd buy a horse…no I am kidding, very pretty dog, but the slobber coming out of their mouths is enough to drown Otis..no thanks.

  • There was a Saint Bernard that came to our park a few times. I swear that dog had gallons of slobber and of course he'd come right up to me for petting. Damn! I knew I should have brought my rubber dish washing gloves.

  • Our newspaper had a photo of this dog drinking out of the kitchen sink, with all 4 feet on the ground. Talk about a counter-surfer! Too much fur for me!

  • That is one I seen at kitchen sink. Counter surfer and everything else. Funny cause my niece is getting her husband a newfoundland for Christmas present she better pray it don't get this big.

  • Thanks for sharing. It gave me a big sigh moment. My folks bred newfies for a brief time on the farm when I was a kid. They're soooo loveable, but all that hair:eek: is a complete disaster after a day in the hay fields or in the barns.

  • You'd have to use an actual rake from Home Depot to manage that hair. "Hey Mom have you seen the dog's comb"? Yes, your Father's using it to rake the leaves". Wouldn't be cheap to feed em either. 16lb bag last you 3 days.

  • And just think of the poop piles :D

    And just think of the poop piles :D

    "Honey, where did you park the backhoe"? "I need to clean up after the dog".

    There's a very large dog that comes to the dog park, not so much fur as this one and Buddy just loves that dog. He gets underneath the dogs head, tail wagging a mile a minute. We all just watch. I've never seen a Basenji wag its tail that fast.

  • I could not imagine a Basenji that large. WAAAAAAAYYYY too much dog for the energy level of a B. We wouldn't be walking our dogs, we'd be saddling them up and rodeoing them! Whoever makes 8 seconds wins… YYYEEEEEEEHHAAAAWW!!!!

    Seriously, though, that is a gorgeous Newfie. Thank goodness they are generally a good-natured animal.

  • I like your style about saddling up and lets go better learn were shut down button is first.

  • Ms. Rita Jean:

    I have yet to locate the off switch on any Basenji and I've been around them since I was a baby. When you find it, you will let us all know, right?

    Yes, I'm glad to hear differing opinions! We're keeping our options open but leaning toward a purebred waterdog of some sort. I'm sure I'll be back later with questions about how to integrate a new puppy in to a home life ruled by a cat (and with an African basenji in the mix)... :)

    I LOVE It's Me Or The Dog!!! She is awesome. She really lays down the law for people. Especially when the family pack order is all out of whack, which is often.

    Those pics are great. They all look so humiliated! I love the bunny one though. That dog reminds me of the kid from "A Christmas Story". They both look like they have about the same feeling about their bunny outfit!

    I saw this show for the first time last night. I didn't think it was sad, because the nice doggy gets adopted into a home where the people have been evaluated and dog is placed with people who are best suited for the individual dog. It's like a reality game and they all know only one home gets the dog. The people know they might not get that dog. But I'm glad that the people who don't win on the show, will probably adopt and rescue another well deserving dog. Just my take . . . but I only saw the one show.
