BASIL ~ Our First Long Haired Jackahuahua

Here is Basil.  Loved by Ian and Ginny

Basil was in a litter of three boys and he chose us!!  We took our older dog, Nessie, with us to make sure they got on okay and one little pup came marching across very purposefully from the far side of the pen and was transfixed by Nessie - one year on and he still worships the ground that she walks on!

Basil is now just over a year old and we think that he is absolutely adorable.  As you can see he is crossed with a longhaired Chihuahua and has the softest fur and unusually he has the most beautiful blue eyes which we have been told is quite a rare trait in Chihuahuas!

Basil has a wonderful personality and loves everyone and everything.  He is a happy little soul and doesn't have an aggressive bone in his body, that is until there is a perceived threat to his "family" from a group of birds in the garden or a passing butterfly, Starlings are his Nemesis!!

Basil eats anything and appears to have a cast iron stomach. When we say he'll anything we really mean anything, oranges, grapes (peeled of course!), apples, curry and his absolute favourite.....pickled eggs - if it can fit in his mouth its gone!!!!

He's a real attention hound (pardon the pun!), he can hear an AAAH from a 1000yds and is there in a shot, on his back, legs akimbo!!
