Basenji mix aggression

    I rescued a basenji mix in December. He is such a love able dog. He does bark and doesn't have a curly tail. He looks like a basenji and has a lot of the traits. When I adopted him in December, I had a five year old mixed male. He passed in February from pancreatitis. In march, I adopted an eight week old female jack Russell/Bassett hound mix. She was only 12 pounds when I got her. Tucker, my basenji, never hurt her, but he plays rough. Even after all the little teeth bites from my puppy, he never hurt her. He is very aggressive to dogs, tho. I will have to pay attention to the sex of the dogs. I know he's aggressive to the female in the neighbors yard. I'm getting upset, because people think he will hurt their dog. And, honestly, I don't know. Please, can anyone give me their advice.?

    I am not up to date on current rabies vaccines for dogs, but I know that in the past there was more than one formulation, as my next door neighbour's dog had an anaphylactic reaction when vaccinated and the vet made a note to use a different formulation for the next annual shot. In future the dog had no difficulties. There are known side effects to most vaccines. Aggression is not one I am familiar with, however, with rabies vaccination in countries that require it there isn't much choice. It would not be my first thought with an 18 month old dog showing aggression. Especially a Basenji objecting to being moved from a comfortable place.

    @haroldmcmullen I am so sorry for your loss. I still cry over my losing very difficult but extremely devoted Basenji, Ella. [image: 1621983219182-20046559_1721996551427575_7518595403178128604_n.jpg]

    Playing by mouthing is how she played with her littermates and Mom (or any other adults in the house)…. so it is totally normal... if too rough with her littermates/adults, they would yell/squeal at her... Takes time and patience to teach what is acceptable as what she is doing is normal for dogs. Will not change overnight... and likely will last till she is done teething....

    I agree with Catherine, socialization is a must, but it depends on the personality of the individual dog. When we had 4, they all slept on the bed together and ran together and rarely did we have any problems. We added a puppy and things were still going ok, just really crowded. However, one day our youngest girl decided she was all grown up and didn't want to be bossed around anymore by our 'wanna-be' alpha. Neither of them was a true alpha. We managed to defuse the situation, but a month later it happened again. The girls could never be together again. In fact, the tri developed a predjudice against all red girls after that! Both girls were terrific with people and with Basenji males and even with males and females of other breeds. I had 2 intact males, brothers, who stayed together with absolutely no problem for almost 4 years until one went to another home. They even got along during season. Terry
