I read this with my morning coffee. It makes so much sense. I also checked some of the info in their previous issues, and I wound up subscribing.

Andrea, thanks so much for the link!

Sudden aggression towards other dogs…

Wow, I am surprised to see so many posts regarding the aggression thing. I have a 3 yr. old who thinks she is the queen of the universe, and is totally the alpha with her b-mix sister, but she plays well with others at dog parks and elsewhere, with the exception that there are certain B's she will get snarky with. We've never been able to figure out what it is she doesn't like in some of her own kind. It doesn't happen every time but it makes the other owners nervous when it does happen, so I have stopped going to the dog park where the B's she has trouble with go. There are very rare situations with other type dogs. The only time she will start to "hair up" in a park is when she is tired from running and resting behind my legs at a picnic bench. If a dog comes up to get to her by going around my legs then, she will growl and threaten; I believe this is "go away I'm resting and get away from my person" because she doesn't come out fighting but sounds very serious about the whole thing. Also, if another dog tries to "mate," she will quickly sit down, turn around and snarl her displeasure, but won't push it any further. I do think basenjis may not have much patience with dogs they consider their inferiors.

Funny funny story - after the fact of course.

Although we do occasionally get woodchucks (same as groundhogs for those of you in the eastern states) and lots of other creatures, I haven't seen one in quite awhile here. However, my first basenji caught a young muskrat/marshrat who was stupidly trying to cut through our yard and treated him just like he did his toys - " few quick snaps and the stuffing started flying".

@red:

They're all beautiful dogs! It just seems like yesterday you posting Daisy's homecoming pictures - She has turned into a magnificent young lady!

Thank you! It was a pleasure meeting Mommy Michelle. Tayda and Lenny were amazingly well behaved with our meeting the week before last. I love that it's so easy to become familiar with these dogs . . . addicting, eh?

Broken Tooth in a Show dog

One of our dogs broke a tooth on the side of her mouth that had to be extracted (the crack went straight through vertically, no way to cap or anything). I was so worried since it is one of the back teeth she used to chew things (and she loved to chew). Outside the initial healing period of a week or 2, you would never know it was removed. She can still chew through your average dog leash in about 30 seconds if you do not watch her. 🙂

@Tayda_Lenny:

Hello! there is a possibility that Tayda, Lenny and I will be moving Northern California in the next few months! I noticed there are a lot of Northern Californians on the forum and I'm wondering where the really dog friendly area are. I might be working in San Jose, and would prefer to live about 1/2 hour north - maybe in Freemont/Union City/Newark area. Is this area dog friendly? Are there fenced in Dog Parks around?

Hello there! I live in Cupertino and work in San Jose. Here are two websites that will tell you what dog parks, trails and even hotels you can take your B to.
