Foods basenjis love

Basenji Talk
  • @Wrobelzoo:

    I'm in hysterics, because we have always said there should be a dog food that is "cat poop" flavored.

    I'm sorry for anyone who likes canned hash-but, isn't that what it is? Canned "cat poop" flavoured sorta "meat"?

  • AAAAAHHHHH Ok I do know SPAM..grew up on the stuff. Don't ask me why?? I can't even look at it now :D :D

    Here's my take on why dogs eat cat poop. The cat gets chased and terrorized by the dog. So the cat gets back at the dog by the poop having a magic spell on it that makes the dog hallucinate that it's a juicy steak hot off the grill. So the cat sits up on the fence having the last laugh watching the dog eat.

  • Mystery meat

  • anything we are eating. He is not fond of carrots or any raw vegetable.

  • Yogurt
    Cottage cheese
    eggs
    lean meat (chicken, beef, bison etc.)
    Steamed veggies (esp. broccoli)
    fish (cod and salmoln are big hits here!)
    And Storm loves raw asparagus (almost as much as he loves cat box crunchies! :) ).

  • and peanut butter..

  • Food. Plain and simple.

  • He also eats anything that is not food so long as it is REALLY disgusting. Like say…... hippies or something.

  • **Now I know why I feel a special kinship with my B's.:rolleyes: I like corned beef hash too…:D

    My guys seem to have a special fondness for anything that comes out the exhaust end of any other animal. They think our horses are Bon Bon makers that move. :confused:

    I know what your thinkin......the kinship don't run that deep! :cool:**

  • Mine love-

    Baby bunnies
    baby birds
    Any bad human food they can steal, like pizza
    Dirty tissues, underwear
    carrots
    chicken/turkey

    Hate with a passion

    Banannas
    Peanut butter

  • Jack Fantasy Menu..

    Bread, Feathers, peanut butter, bacon grease, raw potatoes (red skinned), MY PLATE of Dinner when I'm not Looking!!!!, grass, bugs that fly around his head (lol), his dog food which when you add a half cup of warm water to creates GRAVY!!, and of course, fish from the fish tank (if only he could reach!!)…and unfortunately, cat poo isn't all that bad either...(YUCK!!)

  • Jojo eats dirt but she likes turkey bacon, eggs, chicken, beef, and she really loves shrimp, scallops and cod fillets…she sometimes will eat cooked carrots but other times she won't touch them...

  • I have not found a food yet that Keoki will not eat.
    Well, except that lemon, but even then he didn't want to give it up! LOL

    He goes nuts whenever anyone eats anything. He can't seem to focus on anything else when there is food present.

    I thought his being so food motivated would make him easy to train. But he can't even focus on his "lessons" because he is so frantic about getting the treat, and it doesn't matter what the treat is. LOL I think he goes a wee bit deaf at those times.

  • I feel like I am a bad momma, my two Bs have never tasted any of that stuff, alls they get is Evo and little tiny training liver treats. :)

  • WELL i can add something NASTY as of today, Jack likes to eat ear wax off of QTips we throw in the trash!!! EWWWWW

  • ha ha, Caesar too. He has mastered flipping up my stainless can lid with his nose to get anything from the bathroom trash can.

    And Cairo likes to run wild with the toilet paper…..

  • Daisy is into used q-tips - ditto ewww! She's still young, so I find she enjoys shoes and socks too. A bit too expensive for me, so I buy Merricks twisted smoked raw hide by the dozen to satisfy her chewing delight.

  • Our Rosco used to LOVE green beans. It was so funny to hear him crunching away on raw ones. He would always take the beans into a separate room to eat them.
    I actually have a video of feeding him a few.. the audio is delayed.

    Looks can be so deceiving- here is an article of a woman who adopted a rescue dog in N.J. Dog looks like a basenji - even her vet thought it might be basenji. She did an Embark DNA test - no basenji. Turned out the dog was a mixture of Mountain Cur, Rat Terrier, Beagle, and Boston Terrier. link text

    I read your blog and find it kind of confusing and ….. your comment about "messing with ..." hmmmmmmm.... Anyhow, yes, it is so cool when you come across another basenji, because they totally understand each other and how they want to play. We were fortunate once to have another basenji play chase with Kipawa at a dog park. I just don't think there are many basenjis in the Lower Mainland. :(

    Oh Barklessdog, you are a brave person. I must now stand with you in insane-solidarity and admit I bought it too. It is awful but when you get the line "we couldn't say goodbye so we took him home" part, you know you got to help support the woman. lol

    My Rue is pretty perfect. She is mixed with something (I don't know what) so she doesn't look like a real B… and she isn't interested in anything in our house (chewing wise), doesn't bolt out the door, and licks like CRAZY! She also doesn't really like to play with other dogs at the dog park, she just smells them, occasionally chases them, then comes back and lays down by me (EXERCISE DANG IT!). The only normal B behaviors that I see in her are the little noises that she makes (she makes a lot of them for different reasons) and her BAROOOOOOO (which is fitting because we named her Rue before we even knew she was a Basenji) and it seems like she is stubborn about sitting. It's like she is saying, "yeah I know you want me to sit, but first I'm gonna spin around in a circle. Then maybe I'll sit if I feel like it." Haha! She is a character!
