Honestly, that basenji looks like a fantastic breed for a kid.

I think you have a talent for this!

Shorter hair dogs tend to shed less. They all shed regardless.

My maltese poodle doesn't shed at all and it's awesome. Definitely his best trait.

Had a heeler/basenji mix when I was a kid and it was a great dog. We were terrible trainers, but that's beside the point. Loved him. He definitely had the heeler bark, though. When basenji try to bark it's almost like a sneeze. They definitely do know how to howl, though.

Bred to hunt lions.

How fucking awesome is that?

er... did it work? Bulldogs were bred to take down bulls but I dunno how they managed that. It was like a thing with the brits, they made stadiums for it and everything.

I mean...it's not like a basenji wetwork squad is dispatched to complete contracts on lions. They assist humans with lion hunts.

Yeah that's why they don't bark, so the lion doesn't get the jump on them.

Probably the way pit bulls took down bulls was to ham string the fuckers. Clamp down hard on the achilles tendon and don't let fucking go. Down goes the bull. Tear its throat out.

I very highly recommend a Labrador. Loyal, brave, and intelligent. I'll never forget ours as long as I live.

I had a Besenji. I was tossing a ball for it one day and my kid was between the dog and the ball and that little fucker ran right over her (she was 4) to get to the ball. He could have gone around, but he was making a point. He slammed her down so fucking hard. I found another owner for that guy pretty soon after that.

Also, they may not bark, but they yodel. They're not quiet.

Be careful with labs. They are very good dogs if trained well and given enough activity. But they can be high maintenance given their energy level and need to be given tasks. My bro's chocolate lab was doing okay until his eventual wife moved in, treated it like a baby, and pretty much ruined him. Labs will also eat absolutely anything they possibly can, to the point of making themselves extremely ill.

Had a German Shepherd growing up, collie mix, and that was an amazing dog. But he did have arthritis issues fairly young, although he did live a good 12 years before we put him down as he was losing mobility and too big to carry. My friend got a Russian terrier a few years back, and that dog is awesome. Carries a case of beer when he hikes and skis, and loves every second of it.

A lot of vets suggest feeding fish oil from an early age, just a shot or two. Helps a lot with the dogs that develop joint problems and arthritis.

I use salmon oil. Like 20 bucks a bottle, it'll last a good month or two. You don't give them much, or they'll get diarrhea. Usually just a squirt on an entire bowl of food is enough.

Live in New Orleans and I think Michael Vick's cousin lives behind me - raises bull mastiffs / pit bulls. He often has 7-8 in his yard barking and crying and getting rained on and living in shit for months. I've called the cops about 6 times while they bark at nothing for endless hours of the night. No dice.

I have a newborn and have witnessed the dogs acting so aggressively that one of them rammed my fence, cracked a board, and had my murder in his eyes while I cut my grass. The base boards of the fence are on my side, so that was seriously a startling moment; witnessing that power! Anyway, I'm really just worried about my baby 3 month old, so I'm thinking about hiring one of my shadier friends to kill them all. Thoughts?

Find out what the kennel laws are in your city/township. Here in Lexington, if you have more than 8 dogs or cats, you must register as a kennel. Costs about 1600 bucks a year or something. Might be able to get him for some technicality like that to get the dogs taken away.

Or you could wait till he's gone in the middle of the day or night and try and open his gate and let them out, then call animal control.

There are methods to get rid of them, but you or your friend can get arrested for felonies and shit. Rat poison in meat, that type of thing. I wouldn't suggest going that route.

Buy a pistol and keep it handy in case one of them does get in your yard either way.

Just throw poisoned food over the fence at night. Don't need to hire anyone. Don't throw it from your own yard if possible even though it probably wouldn't matter.
