Hope meets King - again


  • Well i have been introducing Hope to King, my 15hh QH :)
    Shes not at all timid as we walk down the laneway with horses either side and thinks its all good fun, of course kept on a tight leash until she understands she cant enter their paddock. Most of the horses are dog savvy anyhow and wouldnt care but better safe then sorry :)
    Heres some pics from last nights visit :)
    *and the worried little look on her face in the first pic is cos its just hit wet season here and i made her walk thru water and mud puddles *giggle* she was finally at the stables, on dry land he he he*

  • Great photos…but bad b mom for taking your girl in the wet area...kidding, I live in the PNW..its always WET here! giggle.


  • Awww, lovely photos!

    Maya loves my horses. When im feeling too lazy to walk her i take her out around the farmland for a ride with the horses, she always tries to race them :D


  • Lovely pics of Hope and King.
    Fancy making her walk in the wet ;)
    Malaika is a little wary of Horses as we don't come across them very often. She agrees with me that Horses are lovely , behind a fence :D


  • Lovely pictures. My Basenjis get on well with horses and cattle (sheep too, if they don't run!!)


  • @Maya:

    I wish i could get to the stage of doing this with Hope- however im still weary of letting her offleash lol

    @Patty:

    ha ha - yeah im trying to teach her that when a horse moves, it doesnt mean it wants to play with her :) (she however thinks, yay playtime!) My horse is a good boy though, he puts his head down to let her put her paws on his muzzle and to sniff each other etc :) - she likes to stand on her back legs alot :rolleyes:


    heres some more pics :)

    still sorta a swamp until you get to the stables :) gotta love wet season

    Hope tied up while i get the nag a feed


    Agility training


  • Great pictures!

    Maxx loved horses. We introduced him to horses by picking him up and letting him sniff noses…which he promptly licked. From then on, whenever we were around horses, he wanted to be picked up so he could lick their noses...even when we came across some miniture horses, he still wanted to be picked up. We tried to tell him that he could reach their noses from ground level, but he insisted on being picked up!


  • I know just what you say about the wet season although here we seem to have one throughout the year!! And it's mud,mud,mud! AND 32 feet to wipe!! Thank you for the new pictures.

    @tanza Oh yes. I give her 1/3 cup blue buffalo puppy kibble, 1 tbsp wet blue buffalo puppy, 1 tbsp yogurt or cottage cheese, (alternating) and if I se any sign of dandruf or dryness in her fur, I also add in a few drops of olive oil. I have chicken and vegetables every night, and I've been preparing my chicken unseasoned since I got rogue so I can use it for training on occasion, so sometimes if she's being stubborn I'll bury some tiny shreds of chicken in her food to get her to eat, or sometimes I'll do the same thing with some other high value treats. I don't feed her in a crate, but I've moved her bowl into my room so she's lessdistracted at mealtime, and she has a safe place to eat when my niece comes over. Rogue plays nice with my niece outside, but indoors, she's kind of a really big squeeky toy, so we have to watch her constantly. I also, on the rarest occasions, will give her a little tiny pinch of american, or sharp cheddar cheese. That seems to get her really excited. She doesn't get excited about cottage cheese, but american or sharp cheddar? She goes nuts. fagedabodit. And she get chews and kongs in the crate, but never meals. And she doesn't spend much time in there anymore since she's been house trained. She just sleeps in my bed. In fact, she's passed out next to me right now.

    @doggonecrazy said in Meet Rambo!: Did you check for connected toes? Also, I would like to know a reputable dog DNA company who includes Basenji in their database. Typically, the more dogs in their testing, the more accurate. Thus far, Mars Wisdom Panel 3 has the largest group, including basenji and coyote and breeds most the others don't, making it the most affordable and most accurate UNLESS you want to pay out $200. In which case the newer Embark seems truly spectacular. Whatever you use, make sure they have basenji in their data bank. Most don't. http://www.dogbreedidentifier.com/embark-dog-dna-test-revi…/ http://www.theverge.com/…/embark-dog-dna-startup-disease-ri… http://fortune.com/2015/06/25/dog-dna-tests/

    @elbrant No jet lag..one poster said also tribe, response wasn't hunt truffles, basenji hunt Chaga, it was hunt " the" Chaga. The op didn't disagree with my interpretation, another defended it as taste,, which wouldn't be an issue if the indication was mushrooms. But considering the massive insertions into my comments by kindle the last months, I should not have locked on it. Posts deleted. Thanks. Giving benefit of doubt should always take priority....or ask for clarification.

    @tanza: And he still loves (or I should say) his Big Sister, Crystal still thinks he is pretty cool… LOL.... Thanks Andrea.... Andrea?... will you make the Nationals? I am really hoping to. My tentative plan right now is to fly out with just Ethan, and maybe one dog. Then Ethan can stay with my sister in Portola Valley, and I can just enjoy the National :) Tim has offered to stay home with the dogs, to save money…but he may change his mind by the time it actually rolls around :) We had originally planned to drive across with ALL dogs, and Ethan...and quickly realized that kind of roadtrip with a three year old would be insanity!
