Do your male basenjis squat to pee?

Basenji Talk
  • Nicky will lift his leg on vertical objects but he also does pee standing up if he can't find a vertical object he would like to pee on. My husband calls it horse peeing because it remind him of how male horses pee.

    For some reason, that's just one more thing that Basenjis remind me of horses. Kananga likes to gallop sometimes and I always joke that he's trying to be a "mini-horse". :D

  • My last Basenji was a pain for lifting his leg pee, it took ages out on a walk as he felt obligated to mark everything. I love carboot sales and i had to be careful not to get to near to stalls or he was likely to lift his leg on them :o
    Whilst in his own garden he didn't bother with marking and squatted like a girl.
    He was a neutered male.

  • Mine does both. Before I got Cody neutered, he mostly lifted his leg, but stretched/squatted sometimes. Now he only lifts his leg to mark. He mostly stretch/squats, and almost always pees on his front paws because he keeps walking. He doesn't stop to pee, he just slows down a little :) (He also keeps walking while he poops)

  • :D:D This thread is quite amusing, our big Dog used to poop as he walked along. You had to keep a watch otherwise you stood in it!

    OMG, don't get me started on the walking and pooping. :D:rolleyes:

  • @Nemo:

    OMG, don't get me started on the walking and pooping. :D:rolleyes:

    Mine does that and he'll twirl around in circles on a lawn and if it's night time it's "damn, where did that poop go"? using a flash light.:confused:

  • So funny..I love this thread..

  • Tupper does both while peeing. Glad to hear that he isn't the only one that walks while he poops! What is with that?

  • I had a walking pooper too once, but he was a King Charles spaniel. He was like Nope ain't got time to stop….

  • LOL! Glad Cody's not the only one! Sometimes I call him Pee-paws and other variations.

  • My males at home 99% of the time would squat and pee… out on a walk or at shows/lure trials would lift their legs... but then I have had bitches that also lifted legs.... Oh and all mine are/were walking poopers

  • sooooooo funny…..
    hansel only lifts to mark, other wise squats.... when he marks, he ALWAYS pees on himself because he gets distracted and walks away before he is done. AND he walks as he poops too. when and if there is an ACCIDENT in the house we ALWAYS know who did it....
    lol
    Jonny never marks and never lifts his leg... always squats and doesnt walk while he poops.
    what a LOVELY topic. hahahaha
    they are both fixed. :)

  • Like, Pat, 99% of the time my boys squat in the back yard, or even the first major pee of a walk. After that, it is a social communication event, as high as they can mark. Nicky also will hike a rear leg and try to pee on a post, silly girl.
    Mine rarely do the walking-poops, thankfully, as it makes night pick-up a real challenge!

    Silly thread, always funny, even their most basic functions bring us pleasure!

  • Blaze use to always lift his leg. Then one day he was showing off for a girlfriend, lifted his leg a little too fast, slipped on the ice, landed on his back and peed all over himself. He was mortified!
    Now he will only lift his leg if he has the time to ensure he has proper footing.

    Now that is funny! :D

    I always chuckle when Kananga stretches out when he squats. He's almost on his knees sometimes. :rolleyes:

  • Tee Hee. I love these light hearted threads.

    Chance lifts his leg so high I'm sure he's going to fall over! His bladder must be massive, someimes it takes over a minute for him to fininsh peeing. We've even held up judging at dog shows because he needs a pee. :eek:

    My GSD poos while walking/walks while pooing. When we walk all of the dogs together the GSD must lead so whoever is behind can poop the scoop. :D

  • It's good to hear, that Thabo isn't the only one peeing on his front leg :rolleyes: :D
    And we always have to wait until he cleaned himself…

    Thabo does both. First pee squatting and after that he lifts his leg to mark.

  • My bitches walk-poo and my dogs stand still! There has to be a reason for this walking poo - does anyone have a theory?

  • Tyler never lifts to mark in the back yard, but once on a leash outside the yard, nothing is safe. When he's done he stands in front of Kate, and she cleans him. EEEUUUWWWW :eek:

    Last I heard, the Breed Club secretaries had more people waiting or wanting pups than were available . You could get on a list for a Basenji next winter but I very much doubt you will find one still unsold. Go to the website of the BCGB, or the Northern Basenji Society as you are in the North and you will find email addresses of the secretaries. They will put you in touch with breeders who may be planning a litter for puppies to become ready to leave the nest in about a year's time. Its a long wait I know, but you have most probably missed the boat for now. You are welcome to post me privately. Good luck!

    @Thana: she does have basenji characteristics then apart from her colours and looks.- i also think she must have some basenji blood! She is lovely and lucky no matter what! adorable little face:))))) Having read about the characteristics I think she does. The lady with the basenji that we met also commented on some of the things she was doing as "very basenji" (eg. standing on her back legs so she could see what was going on). Has a lovely wrinkly forehead too. Got very frustrated with me earlier and did her funny bark, more of a wierd howl really. She is def one of a kind. Its a shame we have to have her spayed (not that I could ever justify letting her have a litter).

    lol usually when you breed a bigger dog to a smaller dog the Male is the tiny one. Its just dangerous to do it the other way around. As far as DNA breed testing I would go for it if I could. But i am just interested in those kinds of tests. We offer them at our clinic but i haven't ever seen results for them.

    @phoenix3: Looks like a B to me but i think more of a B mix he looks like he has corse hair Maybe be has the size of a cattledog body and a basenji head :) My Aspen is a cattledog/ terrier mix he has the body of a cattledog {the colors} and the height and face of a terrier heres a pic so u can see the colors of the cattledog well one color anyways :D :D phoenix3 - this is Aspen? I'm so amazed at her spots, because my Daisy has spots like Aspens. We know her mother is pure R/W Basenji and she is thought her other half Beagle. One of her other litter mate moms thought Blue Healer (cattledog). But I subscribed to the Beagle. Daisy could be … Cattle Dog I suppose. She's bigger than Duke now at almost 9 months old. I will show her off soon on "Show Off" forum soon.
