Basenji mix aggression

Behavioral Issues

    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.?

    @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]

    @Patty: In my opinion you shouldn't be showing him like this - even though this aggression seems to be against certain individuals there could be a time when he takes against the judge. Yes, getting kicked out of the ring because your dog growls and won't stand still for the judge is very very embarrasing!! This did not happen to me with a B but the Shiba Inu we had. I was 16, it was her first show and she growled at the judge and would not stand still on the table…...I got excused from the ring.....in my hometown.....and its a small little show, 175 dogs. After that show we got her spayed, as I did not want to carry on that temperment in puppies. She was a very good dog but I am glad we spayed her because she had an attitude! She was my first show dog and we did not do proper research on the breeder first. Sorry, this is getting off topic.

    You know, my boyz like dogs the same color as they are. Jet LOVES tri colored dogs - Berners, tri Aussies, etc. And last time they were at Anne's dog park, poor Digital was the only brindle basenji. Jet played with the basenjis and Diggie went and hung out with a brindle greyhound. Remember that Anne?

    I too have an automatic litter box but we built a platform almost like a cabinate and the poo goes down into a garbage can with a bag in it and abby or missy can not get into the poo.

    Hi! lauralopez said: Usually when dogs play too rough, one will let out a yelp and that will make the other one know that they are playing too hard. How true! My two Basenjis will wrestle and pull and push one another until one of them yelps. The offender will then back off or start licking the other one. Thirty minutes later they're at it again! So, in my opinion, this is not a Biggie. They'll soon find out how to play with one another. As for the training, I would suggest a group class. It's a great way to socialize the dogs. And you'll make some great friends! And you'll learn how to teach your dog by DOING. The Aussies I've met are great dogs. They're smart. But they have to to have a job. When you take a walk, have Angel carry a bottle of water for you and her in a small saddlebag. Clicker training is also a good way to teach. It worked miracles with my Chaco. Good Luck and let us know how the training goes. Basenjis CAN be good performance dogs. It just takes patience. Chaco has his CD and RN and is working on agility now.
