Checkers' Dog
Trivia
Trivia brain teasers have some element of trivia in them, but they are not just pure trivia questions.Trivia
Checkers was meeting with the lazy Sorceress and Mr.Tin, two well known dog breeders.
They were just ending a conversation about politics when Mr.Tin asked Checkers if he had ever owned a dog. Checkers, trying to make it seem as if he knows something about dogs said, "Yes, I used to have a Basenji. He would always bark when someone was coming up the driveway." Mr.Tin and the lazy Sorceress knew he was lying and decided to leave. What did he lie about?

That was a good one. I've never heard of a basenji. Or a dog that doesn't bark for that matter
Hey, I'm the first to comment! Good teaser tinman - even if the sorceress is lazy!
Where can I find one by the way
Grrr, got beat while typing! Oh well, I was close!
Great teaser! I enjoyed this one Tinman.
Of course you did sarge!

Enjoyed this one. Thanks for sharing, I didn't know that about dogs. I had to do some looking up on this one when I seen it in review. Good Job!
Keep them coming!!
Keep them coming!!
Nice one!! I got it!! YAY! Those dogs are pretty cool tho! Good teaser!
You can check in your newspaper for a breeder for this dog. They are not cheap either, but they are nice dogs. Not too large of a breed also. Or you can check online for breeders.
Thanks man. I was just joking though. My dogs drive me nuts with their yapping
great one
good teaser, and even better cause i got it!!!
Good job! I had never heard of this type of dog before.
clever! Good one
I like the teaser. Don't the rules say we are not suppose to use other folks on the site in our teasers?
I'm glad Froggy wasn't offended. I don't think anyone would say she is lazy - she works pretty hard on this site.

I'm not offended in any way at all. In fact, I consider it a compliment that tinman considers me a good enough friend to use me in his teaser and I know he meant absolutely no offense by calling the Sorceress lazy! Thanks for coming to my defense zonarita, but tinman and I are very good friends just as you and I are.
Very cool!
Was there any other possible answer? I mean, I have never heard of that bread, but the only possibility could have been the barking, in order to detect the lie...!?
