About Bogota the Big City Pup | |

|
Foster Update: Bogota is one lucky pup. He is spending his days running and playing at the University of Doglando. Doglando's owner, Teena, has been kind enough to foster Bogota for us after he participated in the kids camp. She says he is just a delight, has a wonderful temperment and will fit in to any home!!
Foster Update: Bogota spent last week at the University of Doglando participating in a spring break dog training camp for kids! What a great experience for him to learn some basic commands and gain socialization skills. Bogota will make a great companion!!
Foster Update: Bogota is handsome little man with a teddy bear personality. His tail is always wagging and he almost looks like he's smiling! Bogota is tan and white, and has beautiful green eyes. He is a happy pup, and loves to run and play. Bogota enjoys his humans and is one of the first to greet me in the morning. He is patient when it comes to taking turns and is never pushy at feeding time. He will make an all around great family dog and will be greatly missed around our house!
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 and 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 dislikes 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.
