@jordandwilly - Thanks for clearing that up.... 9-5 is just fine, IMO.... I work and have always had to leave mine when I was at work, never an issue. That said, we were able to set up the house that access to the backyard (with 10 to 12' privacy fences) with a doggy door and a dog room in the house for them, Locks on the gates so there is NO access for anyone. Dogs sleep 90% of the day so being at work doesn't bother them... never have mine even when I had a litter in the house (And have been in the breed as owner/breeder for 35+ years). You can hire a dog walker to take them out mid day..which is a good solution. and give them a mid day meal depending on their age. I do not and never have used free feeding, period. Especially if you have more that one... you never know what/who is eating what. And you can set up camera's on line to watch them from "afar".... LOL. Keep in mind people that many of us need to work and have day jobs. The most important thing is the time you need to spend with them when you are home. Example would be, if you have young children and you work... when you get home you are going to spend your time with your human children... NO dog would be happy if left out... they need their time also because they are a family member and need as much time as a human child. Again in my opinion
Do your male basenjis squat to pee?

: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:
-
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.
-
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 stopā¦.
-
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 peeā¦ 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 funnyā¦..
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. -

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.
-
It's good to hear, that Thabo isn't the only one peeing on his front leg :rolleyes:
And we always have to wait until he cleaned himselfā¦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:
-
Otis leans into his squat I swear it splatters right up on his lower stomach..when he does pick his leg up, it is extremely close to landing on his front legs..but I don't think he has actually gotten himself pee'd on yet.
Our old dog Lou (past over the bridge a year ago) would always wait and pee until our other dog Bogus (also past over the bridge a year ago..tough spring.) so he could pee on Bogus' head..never failed..it always involved bath time to take the two on a walk together.. Lou was a dalmation/chow/lab mutt and Bogus was a westie..

I was thinking about it the other day because Cody walks while he pees AND poos. He just can't be bothered to stop. Sometimes he'll walk 5 feet or more while he's peeing. Maybe it has something to do with being in the wild and not taking too much time or some such.

**Both my boy B's squat to pee, one's 14+ the other's 4. Peanut the older one parks to poop, but Zander is always moving.
The other thing, is they both always head in different directions. This places 'old dad' in the middle, streched out like a scarecrow, hangin on to the fully extended flexi leads. :eek:
Mom likens it to a "windmill in a hurricane"ā¦..:rolleyes:**
-
Our B is over a year old and always squats.
-
We have a nine month old female who wattles around whilst she pees. She can't hide when she has an accident in the house:)
