About Milan the Big City Pup | |
|
|
Foster Update: Milan is a busy little man, who loves his humans and craves attention. He is gorgeous, with a chocolate, brindle and white coat, and one blue and one green eye. He gets along with everyone and loves to run and play. He is good with my big dog and would love the chance to wrestle with my cats! Milan is very sweet in nature and enjoys being cuddled and carried like a baby. He wants to be the first out of the puppy pen and outside every time! Milan is crate trained and working on housebreaking. He is an active pup and appreciates his toys and chew bones. Milan has been a favorite at our house and will be greatly missed!
Foster Update: Milan and his siblings are doing very well. They are socializing with our Malti-Poo, Tobe, and have fun playing in the yard. They love to run and romp around. My boys are really liking having puppies to play with too. They are adjusting to their environment and eating canned and dry food mixed. All four have a healthy appetite. They like playing with tug ropes and chew toys. Each one is really developing their own personality. Milan is very affectionate and loves to be petted. Shanghai is very playful and likes crashing out at my feet after a hard play day. Bogata is very social and likes to be held on your lap and Singapore is the shy one. They will make great additions to someones home when they are adopted.
According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the first traces of a dog similar to the Basenji are found in Egyptian tombs and wall drawings of five thousand years ago. Also called the Congo Dog, it was brought to Europe in 1934. English breeders refined it and exported it all over the world. In Africa, it is used as a guide in the forests, to warn against the approach of dangerous animals, and as a very active pack-hunting dog of small game. The Basenji is alert, affectionate, demanding, energetic and curious. It loves to play and makes a good pet, as long as it is handled regularly from an early age. It is very intelligent, responds well to training with a strong desire to please. They can be reserved with strangers. The Basenji is somewhat aloof, but can also form strong bonds with people. It should not be trusted with non-canine pets. They are usually patient, but do best with older considerate children. The Basenji dislike wet weather. They like to chew, so giving them lots of toys of their own would be a good idea. The breed likes to climb and can easily get over chain wire fences. Basenji are very clever at getting their own way, they succeed less by obstinacy than by charm. It has the unique properties of not barking (it makes a low, liquid ululation instead) and of cleaning itself like a cat. It can be described as speedy, frisky, tireless at play and teasing the owner into play. Their strong desire to play can lead to behavior problems if left alone. Most Basenji problems usually involve a mismatch between owner and pet. The owners mistake the adjective "quiet' to mean inactive instead of noiseless; thus, they become harassed by an active, though relatively silent , dog. They have a life expectancy of 10-12 years.
