Sexy Basenji - XXX

Behavioral Issues
  • Andrea's post pretty much sums it up. Your boy is perfectly normal and I suspect the humping is simply an expression of dominance or assertiveness. Caeser is trying to tell the other males that he is the boss. The same with Beta.

    Also, humping or an unusual interest in the penis area can sometimes be a sign of an irritation. Sometimes a urinary tract issue or sometimes maybe a grain of sand in the shaft. This is rare but it can happen.

  • @Mantis:

    Is Cairo a sexy boy?

    Why doesnt he hump me and just humps Caesar and my boyfriend? Not that I have humping envy, just curious.

    Is this a sign of a sexy dog?

    HAHAHAHA!!! Take him to a doghouse of ill repute!!!

    "humping envy"…hahaha!!! That's funny.

    Thanks for the laugh.

    :D

  • So was Caesar the weird one? He never humped anything as a puppy and Cairo is the crazy hump player!!

    I don't know. It could be your boyfriend. How many brothers and sisters did he grow up with?:D

    Sorry: smart elic answer, because I have no clue.

  • oh, I know, it is silly isnt it…..

    I really miss my little girl........she was sooooo cudly compared to the boys....

  • Our Chance is going on 15 weeks and he has "humped" a few things. His favorite thing to hump is my back :(
    I will be sitting on the couch and he will worm himself behind me and try to hump my back. Of course I stop it immediately. I even went to the extent to purchase him a "hump doll" from the store. He would rather hump the cat or me instead :(
    It has concerned me..The last thing I want is a dog who humps in public. Thats a real conversation starter ;) lol

  • I believe that this is one instance where negative reinforcement might be helpful. That's the way dogs teach each other to give them space, maybe it would work with humans too. Any one else have any thoughts on using negative reinforcement in this situation?

  • Senji is 11 years old and was "fixed" at 6 months. He never really humped anyone, but first thing in the morning after he wakes up, he has his morning "boner". He just kind of air humps for a few seconds and then licks the exposed part of his penis.

  • Vegas, I think you are talking about punishment…negative reinforcement is actually a different principle, that I won't bore everyone by getting into. But yes, you could use punishment here, I suppose. It would depend on what you and the dog viewed as punishment though...I probably just re-direct the pups attention, and find a more appropriate way to play.

    A squirt bottle might be an appropriate punishment here.

  • Querk humped one of our male friends' arms (or tried to, we saw when he got the look in his eye, and distracted him). He did it for a few weeks when he was little. He is intact, and he grew out of it. But he has never been a really "testosteroni" kind of dog. He only humps now when the girls are in heat. Has to be 'his' girls, and it has to be at the peak of estrous. We have a special humpy blanket for him, so he doesn't violate the couch cushions ;)

    Hahahaaa!!! LOL :o This thread is so funny - reminds me of morning radio host talk on a rock-n-roll station here in Detroit. Can we get any more descriptive? :D :D

    Sorry, I don't have anything to contribute, but I find this thread entertaining. Thanks! :cool:

  • When my dog wakes up from sleeping he sometimes humps air and walks while doing it. It is so strange, like he just cant help it. Must be some good dreams:p
    Anyone who has seen this just cracks up.
    Other than that he humps my boyfriends dog but that is a way for him to get her to play and she really doesnt mind she (Phoebe the frenchie) just kinda stands there and looks around.

    I dont know what to make of any of it, I am just glad he does not do it in public

    Squiggy does this too, I have never heard of it. He doesnt "expose" him self, but he does look around with a look that says "huh? what is going on?" or it could be "darn it, who woke me up?"
    he doesnt do it all the time, but when he does it is so funny. Air humping :p

    My previous males never had an opportunity to meet other basenjis (outside their breeder kennel) so don't know if the experience with my current female is "typical" or not. The first time she encountered another, it was a tri-color older female that was a real bitch and instantly got aggressive (now whenever they see each other its "hackles up"). The first time I took her to a lure coursing event, mine was friendly enough until a little blind female came up and bit her. The second time I took her to a LGRA event, a lady came up behind us (while mine was trying to potty) with her tricolor female and her dog attacked mine. So now hackles go up any time another female comes within shouting distance.
  • My basenji turned on me :(

    WOW!!!..Words to live by!! I commend you for all the effort it sounds like you've put into your dogs. I wish people were more like you…and your mantra should be placed on every B owner's refrigerator door :D :D It's all about knowing your dog & KNOWING their limitations. Respect is key and so is a no tolerance policy. At least that's how it is at our house! :) BTW-I went to a Basenji Fun Match...and A LOT of B's are bitchy snarky little fur balls. Rest assured yours are not the exception. Mine are exactly the same way but we work with them every day on this!

    Basenji people are dedicated to our breed, and we all seem to be very responsible. Basenjis don't like all other dogs, so we socialize them the best we can and keep them on the leash so they can't attack other dogs or sprint off after a squirrel and get killed by a car. But there are still dog owners out there who just don't understand the principles of responsible dog ownership. You don't just worry about dogs attacking each other but people as well. I posted the story about how I was attacked by a doberman and nearly killed several years ago. If not for the mailman I wouldn't even be here to talk about it. The owner said he didn't think Raggs would ever attack anybody, so he would just open the door and let him out on his own to go potty. I'm so glad we basenji owners are more responsible than some folks out there who just don't seem to get it.
