Nicknames?

Basenji Talk
  • Roseys_MomR

    I'm new, so forgive me if this thread has come up recently. I love to hear what nicknames your dogs have.
    Rosey's registered name is Kazor's Savannah Wildrose. I gave my then 4-yr old son the choice of calling her Savannah or Rosey. He chose Rosey, go figure.
    Some of her nicknames include:
    Rosey-Pose
    Rosey-Posey
    Pretty Girl
    Baby Girl
    Fat Pig ( yeah, not nice, I know-my son calls her this because Cushings has given her a potbelly and he likes to make fun of her.)

    How 'bout your b's?

    pretty mama
    silent death

    she's definitely a looker & people say she's sooo pretty until of course a growl & some teeth scare the wits out of them HA!

    poochie boy

    he's not very cuddly just like DH so they get along well don't like being crowded and at times he gets ants in his pants & can't relax so he looks like a hyper active child. And there are times he just acts crazy out of the blue!!

    Great topic. Abbey is Abbey Guin or Sissy (her dog mom is Guinivere), she seems to like Sissy best. Sometimes she responds to it better than to Abbey. I also call her Lucy Boo if I'm not mad at her. She probably thinks her name is No, Stop or Don't Do That!

    Hollie, like most of your dogs, has several nicknames.

    Hollywood (the most used)
    Holly Hunter (because she is obsessed with squirrels)
    Stink Bottom (because she is spoiled rotten)
    Chewbacha (because she likes to chew)
    Poke-a-nose (because she is constantly poking us with her nose)

    No basenji yet (but very soon I will) My cat Maddox is called:
    Mr. Pooper
    Fatty
    Little Man
    and Mad Max when he opens his mouth and gets that crazy look in his eye right before he attacks your feet.

    Hi @Vesna, it’s interesting you say that about the spay. Our tri-color actually just got spayed this week and her coat shed before that. I noticed small amount of black hair growing in where she shed, hopefully it grows back. What phase is your tri-color at? Did this just happen?

    Ah ok cool thanks, I had something like that when Safi was smaller and it was the most successful for sure. She outgrew it quite quickly though

    I can't listen to that, it would wake my girl up and well... I'm not into a "sing along" just now. ;) I will say that many canines howl and yodel and bay (at the moon, whenever a fire truck passes, etc.). I'm not certain that any one breed is distinctive enough to have a sound all their own, but many a proud owner would probably assert so.

    We use ones from Rukka. Not sure if they’re available everywhere but they are they best ones we have tried (others always fell off, especially in deep snow). I think having two Velcro closures on each sock has been key. I also prefer the soft shell ones as our B seems to accept them more and they don’t twist as much as the ones with a hard sole. Here are the ones I am referring to: https://rukkapets.com/paw-wear/thermal-shoes-black

    My undergraduate degree was in geophysics with a minor in applied math. I name all my Basenjis after Indian mathematicians. My current Basenjis are Madhava of Sangamagrama (Madhava for short) and Bramagupta (Bramagupta for short). They do respond to their "short" names.
