Putting agility titles on Basenjis is a lot of work, but I'm sure glad someone is doing it! I'm too lazy, but I love seeing what these dogs can accomplish. Congratulations!
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.
If we'd all compare notes I'm sure we can definitely plot the correlations on their traits :D
My two have Af in them too & yet so dramatically different…
C3PO-he's my cuddle bug...loves attention loves to be in the same room & loves to be petted BUT only by his humans :) strangers he'll investigate & if he likes you he'll ALWAYS like you but if he doesn't he'll ALWAYS growl at you. The critters need to be near him within reach for him to go nuts & try to hunt it...like walking on a leash & dumb squirrel just stood in his path so C3PO just SNATCHED him up by this tail :eek: :eek:
Topaz-a lot more indpendent! She'll snuggle with you when she wants to at the right time & place. She is the house HUNTER..she'll hunt anything that moves & she's quick too! My little girl WILL play fetch...but with herself LOL :D :D yup she picks up the tennis ball does a :happy dance: on her hind legs carries it up to the couch nuzzles it & throws it off & she goes to retrieve it! :D
Both HATE water (she more than him) :mad:
thanks… actually there were 3 left from a litter of 5 that were still available... it took all my bf & I had to not take ALL 3 home with us. thankfully, the other 2 got wonderful homes that same day.
