• 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 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃


  • 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!
