On feeding, when I had multiple dogs I always did the same as Zande, all dogs fed at the same time, although not always the same place. When the weather was nice I sometimes fed outside. But wherever, I sat and supervised until everyone was finished. I had one who would try to poach if not watched, but she knew better than to make a move with me sitting there. Never had a serious fight with any of mine, and never a disagreement over food, but a breeder I know had to permanently separate two bitches who hated each other and would fight instantly if they had the opportunity....the cause of their dislike had nothing to do with food and everything to do with one bitch interfering with the other one's pups.
Dog pees and then wants to lick it up
-
Most basenjis are naturally very clean. If one of mine has an accident in the house they try to clean it up.
-
Mine do the same.
In fact, occasionally they'll even do it outside.
-
It is pretty common for Basenjis to do this as lvoss and jazzysmom have noted…... doesn't have anything to do with being intact....
-
Very common behavior. I have had some that prefer to drink it "right from the faucet" of a male who is lifting his leg. Kind of gross but not harmful in any way.

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
One more reason I am glad I'm not a dog. :p
-
Dakota used to do that all the time too.
-
Dallas does that all the time! I never know anymore when he pees in his crate except for his damp paws because he licks it all up. I always wondered why he did that…
Thanks for posting this Jason!

This is just part of their natural tendency towards neatness, I suspect.
On the other hand, big EWWWWW - squeamish people, stop now -
We have a poop eater - she will literally follow her running mate around when he goes…
-
Does this eating of stool cause any intestinal issues for the dog who dines?
-
if the stool passer has worms or some other 'icky bug' yes.
-
Ruby pooped in her crate once and then proceeded to eat it to "clean it up". The resulting vomit mixed with poop was something I'll never forget. :eek:
-
Yeiks! my husband says he will never go to dinner with my doggie friend because that is considered "dinner table" conversation.
He prefers to sit with the horrified listeners at the other tables…
Laugh -
Doesn't seem to… she's very healthy and active!
