    well we have a lot of nuts dutch people too you know….
    like most people over here still think that a collie is a "lassie" and that makes a shetland sheepdog a "mini-lassie" and that chihuahuas are fashion toys :(
    and I think what happened to the pittbul is worldwide at not only in the USA, here in the Netherlands it was because of this that pitbulls and pitbull like dogs without a pedigree that stated it was another breed ( am staff for example ) were forbidden and could get conviscated and put down to sleep!! fortunately this law isnt here anymore, as the people who abused pittbulls and made them into weapons easily use another breed that isnt forbidden by law.....

    what happened to the chow over there? I know there is something with the chow in the USA but I actually dont understand what, can somebody explain me please?

    Chow was used in the same way as a pit. People made them mean sometimes as guard dog but in bad way. I love Chows but they have a real bad name some of our insurance companys will not insure you if have Pit, Rot, Akita, German Shepard or Chow. Really to bad they are all great dogs its the owners not the dog.
    This is our third akita over the years they have been lovers. Jyacee our B came in as a puppy he loves her funny to see the akita and he is a long hair at that at 140 lbs with this little red and white beside him. Our akita even cleans the face on our daughters cat not sure cat likes it but she takes it really well.
    I have never brought a older male dog into our home with the akita I am sure he would do all right but I would really worry they may not like him and he is to big not to like.
    Really funny people look at us when we are walking Jaycee the B, Spice the Shiba and Sterling the Akita. You do not see any of these three here were we live. Have you always lived in the Netherlands? I've never been out of the States but been to all of the states almost.

    These dogs that also gets bad raps from temperament problems also come from puppymill and back yard breeders… pure for profit is their only concern.... add to that not caring who buys them or if that is a proper home for that dog

    LOL, i love your comment Nobarkus about a Basenji running the White House. What a thought, perhaps we could do with one in Downing street, i'm sure it would make a better job.
    I didn't realise Queen Juliana had a Basenji ibi n sane. Our queen has Corgis which i dont think are very popular Dogs here.

    If the dogs are having similar symptoms as in the previous years, they need to be treated ASAP! It is my understanding that many are developing the acquired Fanconi Syndrome and need to be put on the protocol. Many vets though do not have the equipment to do the venous blood gas test and get an accurate diagnosis. Emergency vets should have the equipment. Do not buy any dog treats that come from China and if the package does not state where it is from then do not buy it! Jennifer

    @tanza: Got ya…. and how nice of her to sit up and puke!!! :eek: I am lucky (knock on wood) all mine ride great... crate pads keep them from sliding around and they just sleep anyway.... Sure makes clean-up easier! I used to keep wipes in the car to clean her, esp. before shows! ew. I just layer plastic bags in the trash can, and tie 'em off as used, then toss when we get to where there's an outside trash can. I'd make video to show, but really, that'd be gross :eek: She's really good in her harness, so it works out quite well. As I said, Keoki continues to be my car challenge in terms of how to best travel with him. But he loves going in the car in general.

    Owning a basenji requires a good sense of humor and a large dose of patience and a willingness to do some creative thinking to convince the basenjis what you want is really the same thing as what they want. So true, never a dull moment with these dogs

    Hollie will hide her treats and her dog food. Her favorite hiding place is under MY pillow in the bed. She has tried to hide her entire food bowl by pushing one of her plush toys with her nose in an attempt to get the toy on top of her food bowl. Why doesn't she just use her mouth to pick it up and place it on the bowl? Silly dog!

    Yes I agree Pat, Fort Funston could get very crowded and dangerous for smaller dogs as packs of bigger dogs playing could cause injury. My 2 Basenjis were very good and stayed pretty close to me and got used to the crowds. The only problem I had there was with this lady who had an older Tri color female Basenji. It would bite my blk/wht, Nika who was 1-1/2 on the butt. A few times of that and I stayed way away from her. The problem is Nika was a very playful girl and never did anything like that. A few times of getting nipped on the butt started her doing it to other dogs and Basenjis. A Basenji would want to play and Nika would chase and give a nip and the the other dog would get mad and a fight would occur. Nobody would ever get hurt thankfully. It was rare that it would happen as I took them there for 9 years, mostly on the weekend without problem. We had a lot of fun and people loved the Basenjis! Ringo, the red/wht was a very entertaining clown when we'd go down to the beach.

    Yes, the tape works great, but I think I know what rubber brush you mean. My sister has a broom like that - she got it at an Equine Affair in MA one year. It works great. Gets all the hair up when she sweeps. She's got a black Aussie/Golden mix - can you say HAIR??!!! I don't think I could handle it…LOL!
