Kazz, no the breeder hasn't found her a home yet, she's a lovely little thing and it made me feel sad again to see her.
The two girls seemed pleased to see each other but i know things could change as they get older. Basenji bitches are particularly bolshy.
As yet we haven't found a dog that Malaika doesn't like.
She is also becoming a bit more tricky to train but i'm going to try not to worry too much about the bronze award, speaking to a few people today i've found out that their basenjis didn't pass the assessment.

Yes I believe hounds are difficult to train almost every hound I have ever met has had an owner either searching or chasing them I once meet two different owners over the years searching - never saw those two dogs at all - met the owners of both at least twice still searching .......... then the sort you kinda spot the dog then a whole lifetime later the owner appears you can sort of tell hound owners... .they are kinda resigned to being second best to a smell/scent......

I have noticed that basset hounds appear although short legged to be the greatest escape artists. have meet quite a few people over the years searching for basset hounds....I think people/owners think they are short legged then let them off lead loose sight and off the dog goes at quite a pace I actually really like basset hounds but they are a big dog on short legs.
Beagle owners are more savvy and have extending/training leads or sadly very fat dogs who can just about waddle.
Dachshunds are normaly I note on extending leads.....or down a rabbit hole complete with extending lead....and owner calling into the rabbit hole.

Greyhounds and Whippets are normaly on leads. Once or twice seen an afghan but rarely.

Don't see many more other hounds around. But imagine they are all very similar in nature independent; once met a Bloodhound and realised what a massive massive dog they are. And have been to hunts were pack of foxhounds are about they are big too but boy Bloodhounds....

I imagine Basenji's are independent due to the nature of the "job" they were bred /adapted to do. So you are doing brilliantly with Malaika, I mean what is the rush....I mean as long as you are happy with her then take your time. She appears to be a well rounded, well socialised pup......who is a happy soul what more can any one want ...she'd do for me.

Re: Lazy hazy Sunday


LOL made me laugh Kazz - I have missread sooo many posts so you are not the only one. Oh and the duck legs were fab - you should really get a couple and treat yourself - the others can always have something else.

Ta Emma.....its so easy to misread....I am sticking with that rather than the dumb grey haired woman,

I love duck skin when crispy.......................smashing. I liked mine with mashed potato. I used to buy them quite a bit as both Oz and Cleat liked it too.... must get some for me. Yes I will ta, but I'll give the duck eggs a miss though.

Re: Lazy hazy Sunday


I had to giggle at the eggs/legs misreading, I do it frequently, Kazz! Maybe because you were recently posting about eggs (omelette)?

No particular mouse story: Leia's been in what I call mouse patrol mode for a bit; acting as if there is one. And usually she shortly appears with a dead one for me. But I saw it the other night in the kitchen and it's still around... I left a bit of bread on the kitchen floor last night to check and it was gone this morning. And Ms Picky does not eat bread ....

She will get Supermouse one of these days......

Re: Lazy hazy Sunday


Kazz you are so right about hounds. Malaika is great on recall providing their are no other Dogs around. If there is , well forget it.
We do let her off lead but are very selective where and when we do it, she loves the freedom but also does well on an extending lead.
Some people never ever let their Basenjis off so she's doing well.
My cousin and niece let their Begles off and they do disapear sometimes for up to an hour. I just couldn't be doing with that.

Re: Lazy hazy Sunday


Evening! Been doing some usual weekend stuff; had a lie-in til abou 9 (a rare treat), the the boys and I took the bus (a rare treat for them ) whilst OH took my large car to the garden centre to pick up my picket fencing. Couldn't do it with child seats in the back hence the bus trip.

Got loads done at the allotment and have a glut of courgettes - even after the soup - and green beans. Not to worry, they'll get eaten

Took Dominik for his swimming lesson and was impressed at the way he powered through the water. He's going to be a formidable athlete despite my predictions of him being a rather delicate flower.

Venison burgers, broad beans, beetroot and mash for dinner (all but the burgers from the lottie) . . . and shortly to bed.
