Lillie Loves Shih Tzus!

Basenji Talk
  • I have alot of different breed dogs in my neighborhood. I have noticed that Lillie seems to show a preference for shih tzus! She is very friendly to most dogs but for some reason or other, the 3 shih tzus plus 1 bichon frise (who looks somewhat similar to a shih tzu) seem to interest her more. Has anyone else found that your dog shows a preference for a certain breed?

    Just curious-

  • I do not have this experience, but all I can think of now is a white Lilly. . :D How cute that Lillie she's attracted to the white color. I wonder if she'd be attracted to a Spitz. Between my two, I don't notice they have a preference to any type of breed - yet.

  • Gezzzz. mine are attracted to white fluffy dogs… but as Prey...gggg They would love nothing better then to be able to "pluck" them bald!!!! My guys likes other sighthounds, but they grew up with them at lure trials... and one of mine fell in love with Silkys... One of mine took issue immediatley to dobes from across a field at a dog show.. and Rotties too.... and she was only 9wks old.... My Mickii thinks that P.Water Dogs are pretty cool and love playing with them at shows in the evening when everyone was out socialization (those of us who stayed on grounds in our RV's)..... She would chase this pup like crazy... and be chased until he would get to rough then she would turn around and scream at the top of her lungs at him... scared the poor thing half to death..... and of course people came running from all corners thinking that some child had be run over by a car...

  • Zahra really likes Siberian Huskies. When she sees one anywhere her tail spins around like a propeller, her ears go back and she jumps up in the face of the Husky. Really weird, this is the only type of dog that I see her do this with.

  • How funny mine likes Siberian Huskies too. At the dog park he loves to play with them and pull on their hair. He also gets very excited when he see's other basenji's at the park, he spots them right away from all the way across the park and goes running.

  • Well, good….at least someone does ;)

    Huskies are shaped just like Basenjis….maybe that's it?

  • Most of my dogs are only excited (happy) about seeing other basenjis. Bella was raised with a black lab as a baby puppy, and she does seem to be attracted to them.

    My dogs really don't like Boxers (too bouncy), or Bulldogs…too much snorting I guess.

  • Mine kinda liked schnauzers. Maybe cause of the size. They definitely don't like Spaniels.

    Cory and Jayden have foam inside a pillowcase on the bottom of their crates. On top of that are dog crate beds that are wrapped in old babycrib sheets. They each have two little baby receiving blankets in the beds so they have something to "rough up" for when they make their beds comfortable at night. Sometimes Jayden gets too enthusiastic and gets all the cushions etc all bunched up in a big mound in his crate and he can't lay down. I have to remove him and completely remake the bed before he can go back in to sleep. Sometimes before he goes in his crate to sleep, he'll stand up and remove Cory's baby blankets from her crate (on top of his)….......just to irritate her at bedtime. And it does irritate her! Pat

    Champ doesn't like it when I sing to someone other than him. If I snuggle with someone he'll try to come between us or pulls on my shirt. But when my daughter comes back from a long weekend away he'll get very excited and pull on her and also nip. This was a big problem we had before with our daughter but we began doing the treat thing. When she would wake up in the am she would tell him to sit and calm down and then she will give him a treat. She also started walking him on the leash and feedng him. We started showing him that she was an alph just like mommy and daddy and needed to be respected. On occasion when he does not relax and nip or pulls on her shirt, we'll use the empty can.

    @wizard: I forgot to mention that my previous basenji loved to eat rabbits that he caught and muskrats. (I did my best to get those away from him) Oh. ew. We have found one or two squirrel carcasses in the yard over time, but I'm not sure who's killing them. Gypsy has in her youth, but I'm not sure she has the eyesight or speed for that anymore, so it's probably one of the Basenjis. Grosses me out! I know they'd both like to make lunch out of my cats.
