  • Hi Guys

    Sorry for late response. It's manic at work.

    I'm free during the day on 15th. Douglas says there's a nice park in Stirling. I don't know it and I'm sure it will be a flexi-lead type of place but I don't think we'll find anywhere completely B proof.

    Let me know what you plan and I can be there. :)

    Sounds good to me:D Is the park easy to find?


  • Can't find out much about the park in Stirling. I do know of a good dog friendly park in Plean. My inlaws live there and I've walked the dogs there loads. Lots of dog walkers, some off lead. Prob not B safe but a great place for flexi leads and meeting other dogs. Some good pubs for lunch not too far away too. :)

    Sounds good but can you believe I have just had to google Plean. Note to self, really must swat up on my Scottish Geography!!


  • LOL. It's really easy to find. It's only about 2 miles from thew Stirling services roundabout. It takes me almost 2 hours drive but it's a good run. I need to be back in Oban for about 7pm as we're off to see Bill Bailey! :D

    We went to a lovely pub just 2 miles or so from the park last weekend for lunch. It was called Tartan Arms in Bannockburn. It would be best to book though as it's a popular place.

  • Sounds good. Will wait to see what Lauren says. I'll also email Elscodoberman.

    @JENGOSMonkey I WAS THERE FOR '89! I was a kid, but I remember the water coming out of the swimming pool in huge waves and everything falling from the shelves! I was actually born in San Jose, but moved around a lot later LOL I hear the wildfires are more of a concern for you guys now? That's scarier than quakes for me...

    I cannot imagine committing to buy a puppy without seeing the animal and if possible the sire and dam. OTOH, a rescue (or adoption of an older dog) is a different thing. My last two Basenjis came to me sight unseen, and turned out to be wonderful dogs, but the breeders I got them from wanted to place their dogs in an experienced Basenji home, and I only paid the cost of getting the dogs to me. One came by air, one was personally transported to me by his breeder. If she hadn't been happy with what she found I expect she would have taken him back with her when she left. I also had to commit to return him if ever I couldn't keep him. Good breeders care about where their dogs end up.

    @kembe - Very True Kembe, here is a link on looking for a responsible breeder. https://bconc.org/finding-breeders-red-flags There are many scammers out there, don't fall for one.. or a person that is not a responsible breeder.

    @sanjibasenji Thanks for the article on Dog Genome Project - I found it very interesting. I was trying to figure out the interactive Genome wheel. It has the basenji closely related to the Azawakh and rat terrier but I’m still trying to figure out the first wheel which has the basenji listed w/ black/grey starting point. As far as the PBS Dog Tales video - it’s very interesting - it’s season 47 episode 2 - I highly recommend you watch the whole thing (54 minutes).

    @Ashmoore92 It got put on the "back burner" ... I have some, but not enough for a book. I'll circle back around to it.
