I've done plenty of weird stuff to get my three basenjis ready for dog
shows, but the strangest thing I have actually done for their enjoyment is
take them lure coursing, a sport for sighthounds where they chase a plastic
bag around a course to simulate rabbit hunting and they get rated by judges
to win prizes and points towards titles.  The dogs absolutely loved it and
it's something that comes naturally to them, but I used to travel all over
to field trials and be outside in all kinds of weather for most of a
weekend.

It takes a lot to make a basenji hot.  I really worry about them if they
start to pant or drink a lot of water.  They think it's torture to walk in
the rain and don't like cold well though.  Sort of like me, but I don't mind
rain.




Also, Happy Birthday, Laura!!
