Guess bwaysinger's dog's name — Page 18

When you decide to, Cookie, you'll be very happy.
Funny thing is, everyone keeps asking me why the Pooch isn't potty-trained but he IS! He gets so worked up on weekends because my apartment is full of people. There's never an accident when he's not overly excited in front of a crowd.
So, I know you think I make it sound like he's a little poo machine but he's really not and it really doesn't even happen as often as I joke about it. Just make sure your Shiba doesn't shed. Pugs shed. A lot. My vaccuum gets quite the workout.

*boing*

better close the window, Addy!!

bway: The Elphapug is a people puggy! But then he poops.

He loved Muffy!

...and girls in bikinis.

It's sweet!

Oh, we met a...shoot, I've blanked on the name. It's VERY similar to a Shiba inu, kind of looks like a terrier, too...darn it. They're adorable. Now THAT dog, Addy, was jumpy! When I can think of the name, I'll find a picture of it.

Did the dog make flying leaps across the room?

---

Awww...

---

oh, cute!

---

It was a really fun dog. Definitely a people AND dog dog.

What about allergies? Is it a good dog for people with allergies?

That's an issue I need to check with too... Whether or not I am allergic to doggies.

basenji's are highly intelligent animals that need lots of exercise. they are quite a challenging breed to own and anyone interested in them should read up on them before owning one.



as bway mentioned they are extremely quick (although mine, bailey, does not apparently have the so-called embarrassment emotion, or nerve endings). he can run into a brick wall and just shake it off without any sort of reaction whatsoever.

i would imagine that he is good with allergies since he doesn't shed and they are very clean. they actually clean themselves like cats - and also like to be high up. high fences are needed if you plan to have one and allow it outside.

the breed is described as aloof but mine loves people and other animals. he loves to cuddle and his favorite place is on his father's lap. actually, the one trait that may cause people to call him aloof is that he will never, ever come when called.

they are fiercely independent and stubborn. the best way to get a basenji to do anything is to have them think it is their idea in the first place.

a good basenji resource for photos, stories and even adoption is
