My fave moment was the first day I met my baby girl she was running around with all her siblings and she starts chewing on the corner of a post in the kitchen at her breeders house and looks at me with this sweet B smile and cute soft eyes going to town on this post and I was like… ohhh I see how its gonna be loll! Luckily with training we don't have any issues like that now a days. Once as a puppy she was pissed she was in her cage and her wire crate was too close to the wall she decided to chew and dig a hole into the sheet rock and then the bottom of the plastic tray where she tore up the carpet. She was not interested in her kong or any of her bones she had in her cage, the wall was way more interesting.. now she has a plastic crate that isn't so exposed. She has not had one problem with the crate maybe it feels more homey or something. She is becoming a better dog everyday, I am so proud of her, best baby dog ever! ❤

Our B has this odd fixation with digging crotchs. I call it "digging for crotch gobblins" Any time I sit down he will jump up and just start digging like crazy.
Talk about embarassing when you have company over and your B starts doing that
-
Hmmm… this is just not related to your Basenji...gggg

my B does that digging too though not on the crotch area (yikes and ouch is right) but he does digg at me when I'm sitting in his spot on if he wants me to move over and make room for him.
-
Yikes and Ouch is right…I have to keep his nails trimmed all the time. It hurts like mad!
I just can't figure out why he does that...not only to me but he has done it to others too. -
Yes, we do the crotch digging also, and then she lays in between my legs, she also loves to dig on my leather couch before laying down, and on my leather recliner. She has gotten Daddy a few times while digging in between his legs haha!!! Does anyone know why they dig so much?
-
Its the imaginary Crotch Gobblins! Thats the best thing I could come up with
-
Undie chewing, crotch gobblins…....sorry I have nothing I can add here.:D
The digging I always assumed was some ritual they have from way back. Fluffing up the grass and circling to lay down.
-
Oh, I'm so glad mine don't do that crotch digging or undie chewing!

I knew that Ringo was in the right home for him when in one of the updates his owners wrote to say that he was a wonderful dog and the only problems they had had so far was he would steal socks and underwear and chew on the potted plants but they couldn't complain because those were just normal basenji traits.
