Some professional intervention is definitely called for at this time. Myself, when I am called for CC&D (counter conditioning and desensitizing), I notice that the dog needs to rely on a strong leader, a protector at the other end of the leash or at the front door, whatever. Think of how your endorphins are shooting out, your body language, your first thoughts translate into body language very quickly and your pup picks up on it! Just a thought, however and not being there I don't get the whole picture I am sure….but you do a good job with describing the scenario and you do seem to take good actions. If putting B-boy in his safe place (crate) makes him feel better, than just don't push the issue with your sister. Has he been around the kids without your sister??? Her fearful interaction from way back when plus her hormones definitely triggered everything (or so it seems...)Good Luck!!!

Are they still loose?

And this is why this forum is so awesome!!!!

Congratulations on the coming 'event'. I agree with Debra - work on the 'leave it when the baby is crying especially if it's a sudden scream. It can exacerbate the prey drive. I suggets you have a special command for this rather than leave so he definitely knows what to do when it is the baby crying.

🙂

Good Luck today!!! Let us know how you did. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. I gave you my email at the show. We would love to see you at our next basenji meeting. It is a dog friendly cafe in Temecula. It should be a lot of fun. check out our website for more info. www.basenjifanciers.com

I too had to identify myself as the person that is intended for the dog and sign for it..no mistakes here, and I am glad that theyy make you do that, even if it is little reassurance, it is better than a free for all luggage area.

@SenjiShowgirl:

anyways, um i can do peanut butter, unfortunately i am allergic.

I forgot about the peanut butter, I just remembered the fish. Well that's what you have a brother for! lol

And no, good gosh don't be running around outside in this heat! It gets better after today though. whew!

@agilebasenji:

Is Kobey silly? Jet was Linda's "pick" (or so she told me) but her hubby liked Braveheart (the r/w boy), so I got Jet. Digital was Mary Turner's pick and I got him too.

He is a total goof…gggg and very silly..... I had met Braveheart in person when Linda sent him out here for Troy to use on his bitch. He was a sweetheart...

It does not matter what tooth it is.
The fact is in the Basenji standard, the teeth are to be a scissors bite.
If the tooth is NOT there, it will not be part of the bite that is being looked at anyways.
If the dog is getting consistently last in his class, I would have to speculate that are far more serious faults than a missing tooth.

And I would not consider one missing tooth to be as serious as a totally undershot or wry bite.

Of course, this is only my opinion as breeder, exhibitor and a judge.

Cool! I know Linda….in fact I was there when her bitch, Boo was born 🙂

Hopefully you can make it. I am planning on being there on Sunday.

His back pasture used to be used for raising miniature goats, so yes the whole thing is fenced with chicken wire all the way around.

While that was nice I still had my guy on a hugely long horse lunge line. My little guy knows come.. sometimes, but not well enough for me to trust him completely off-lead in that large of an area, its about..18 acres? Since their youngest boy is too old for 4H projects they sold off the goats and cows. now the field is just used for some hunting. They raise some of their own game birds like cotornix quail and chuckars. And well, the rabbits (wild) are all over that back field. I let my little guy "hunt" a few of them, never let him get one though.

and if anyone can let loose their B with a rock solid come, they need to fill us all in.
