  • Iam so excited to find this site…..My Basenji, Sadie, female is very dominant over my larger than her, Austrialian Shepard, male. She rules the roost and he knows it and is actually afraid of her at times. Does anybody else out there that has this issue or is mine unique?

  • I am pretty sure you are not alone. My dash is dominant as well.

  • You are NOT alone… and in our breed, it is very, very typical for the bitches to be dominate over the males....

  • Ditto…with Bs and maybe with humans too :)

  • Oh for sure with Humans….. gggggg.... I tell people that are interested in Basenjis when they ask about the differences between males and females... In Basenjis the Girls have an adjenda and the Boys don't have a clue... See just like us humans...LOL

    Shame, shame.:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    Yes the females rule basenji Land….....probably human land too!:D

    One of my males is by far the brightest of our six, not sure about the clue part.

    BTW....What's an adjenda??:p :D :D :D :D :D :D

  • Welcome to the forum. You've already heard from the multiple dog experts - I only have one and she's dominant too. I didn't socialize her properly with other dogs, but she's not aggressive.
    This is a great place to get good advice and there's lots of laughs too!
    Post pictures when you can!

    @Motala - That is good that you talked to Jan and glad to hear that she had not been spayed. I still think that your Vet and you should connect with Dr. Gonto about your girl's blood work and blood gas results and if he has any thoughts about it.

    Welcome aboard, but do share his registered name ? Who are Dad and Mom and what was his date of birth so we can be sure to add him to the Basenji pedigree on-line database (with a photo ???) for the world to share him. http://www.pedigrees.zandebasenjis.com/

    @basenjilovers - She is very cute, please make sure that DNA testing was done for Fanconi and PRA. And if not or you are not sure, you can get the test kits at www.ofa.org. You do the test as it is a cheek swab.
