  • Hey there! I'm Jonathan, and this is Kingston. Part Basenji, part Australian Shepherd; I am a personal trainer and a pedicabber, he is a demonic spirit from Satan himself, sent to destroy the world with energetic cuddles for everyone. At least he likes to think so. When Kingston isn't destroying the things nearest and dearest to my wallet, he likes to play with his Kong, cuddle with daddy, and eat. I have never seen a dog so smart, nor so headstrong and stubborn. I'm looking forward to getting to know you guys here, and learning more about this incredible breed of dog. Thanks!

    Aggression is an all encompassing term. As pointed out above, there is quite a range! It is not unusual for Basenjis to be dog aggressive. Mine is, and I just avoid other dogs because I know his intentions are not good. Some are same sex aggressive and fine with members of the opposite sex, and some may just be making a statement when they are leashed. If you describe what you are seeing more specifically I am sure lots of people will have common experiences and possible training fixes to share. I would love to see some pictures of Tucker, and welcome to the forum!

    I live near the mountains in Colorado. There are some great trails with open space all around to let thme run around. Gosh I'm so jealous!! We don't have any plasce we could let our pooches loose. I would love a big open space sans any basenji prey :) that way they'll come back
