My basenji goes all nuts with wet towels!

Basenji Talk
  • Yeah you learn to take your plate reall quick!! That or push in your chair. I swear sometimes they are smarter than me

  • Tucker knows how to unroll socks. I get them together and roll them then throw them into the clothes basket to take upstairs and he will grab a pair, take off with them and I will find them upstairs apart. It takes him like 5 seconds.

  • Gbala is into wet hair which is very embarrassing when she climbs on to guest's shoulders and rubs her face all round their heads!

  • haha Maca is a champion stealing my food! i think my work's launch was safe and get back to grab my bag and voila! just found the bread.. and the ham was gone.

    She licks my foots too. And thats a good thing for me. lol

  • We make guests put their purses up on the counter, because the b's think it's a game to root for kleenex.

  • My guy likes to rub against wet towels, or pull them down and roll on them. Also wants to lick you dry…...all of my Basenjis have felt it their duty to dry people or each other. But what my guy really goes nuts for is skin cream. If I am putting body lotion on after a shower he jumps on the bed, sniffs the cream and rolls around like crazy. I humour him by putting a little bit of the cream either on the bed or on him. He absolutely loves it! (of course, he will roll in disgusting things outside, so that makes me wonder what my skin cream smells like to a Basenji!) :)

  • If you really want to see your basenji "roll" in something that smell nice to me anyway, take the scented parts out of the magazines you get, open them up and put them on the floor. You know what I mean, the "samples" you get either in ads, like the Bon, etc…the dogs go crazy for them..As well as dryer sheets, empty soap wrappers...
    Just a hoot to watch them roll.

  • My husband is a heavy equipment mechanic and some of his jobs meant that he would work on the Florida beach…. the minute he would take off his boots, Lucy (and then Lola) would smell his boots like they were filled with rose petals.... and then our b's would roll, and roll, and roll~ all over his boots! What in the world could they smell? :)

  • It's no fail that everytime I come home from work or anywhere really and Oakley finds the exact shoes I wore and bring them to me and licks them! Even if I mix them in with my shoe collection he "just knows" and isn't satisfied unless he gets them. I find it humorous but I'll admit I've had to buy quite a few new pairs as they dont last long with Oakley in the house- I'm such a pushover and he knows it!!

  • ALWAYS…. HE will follow me, jump up and try to get my wet hair... scratch on the shower door to get it...LOVES wet towels. he ESPECIALLY loves my teen daughter... she smells GOOD. LOL

    Looks can be so deceiving- here is an article of a woman who adopted a rescue dog in N.J. Dog looks like a basenji - even her vet thought it might be basenji. She did an Embark DNA test - no basenji. Turned out the dog was a mixture of Mountain Cur, Rat Terrier, Beagle, and Boston Terrier. link text

    I read your blog and find it kind of confusing and ….. your comment about "messing with ..." hmmmmmmm.... Anyhow, yes, it is so cool when you come across another basenji, because they totally understand each other and how they want to play. We were fortunate once to have another basenji play chase with Kipawa at a dog park. I just don't think there are many basenjis in the Lower Mainland. :(

    lol usually when you breed a bigger dog to a smaller dog the Male is the tiny one. Its just dangerous to do it the other way around. As far as DNA breed testing I would go for it if I could. But i am just interested in those kinds of tests. We offer them at our clinic but i haven't ever seen results for them.

    @phoenix3: Looks like a B to me but i think more of a B mix he looks like he has corse hair Maybe be has the size of a cattledog body and a basenji head :) My Aspen is a cattledog/ terrier mix he has the body of a cattledog {the colors} and the height and face of a terrier heres a pic so u can see the colors of the cattledog well one color anyways :D :D phoenix3 - this is Aspen? I'm so amazed at her spots, because my Daisy has spots like Aspens. We know her mother is pure R/W Basenji and she is thought her other half Beagle. One of her other litter mate moms thought Blue Healer (cattledog). But I subscribed to the Beagle. Daisy could be … Cattle Dog I suppose. She's bigger than Duke now at almost 9 months old. I will show her off soon on "Show Off" forum soon.
