What Silly Things SCARE Your B??

Basenji Talk
  • Oh Jack has scared me before, see my post…"My B Scared me to DEATH!!"

  • "For the most" part my boy does not give a darn about anything. Loud noises sudden movements, crowds, fireworks, earthquakes, escalators, elevators, different people walking in and out of the house ect, he just could not care less. The only thing I could think of, he's a little scared of my turtles when I put them in the bath tub he peeks from the bedroom door then he takes a couple of steps to look at them and decides to go back to peeking around the corner from the door. LOL

  • Shelby was startled once by deer while we were on a walk but she's curious about everything else, especially if Mom is there. Vince is a bit more fearful which is really funny because he looks more fearsome. He's very nervous of loud popping sounds like fireworks or cars backfiring but we joke that it's because he was in the mafia or a gang in NJ and is afraid of a drive-by.;)

    A campsite would be good for them to roam around. When we take on vacation, I also make sure to visit any local pet cafe so they could eat food we usually don't cook.
  • Is that a B I see?

    Definitely looks like a basenji to me. If it was something like a lab, they would be in the pool hogging the space.
  • We have a second B!

    I have had a couple of basenjis that howled occasionally in their sleep. That is really spooky, a long, low mournful howl, sitting up but asleep. I have never heard one scream while asleep. Our first screamer would do it to let you kow where he was, and that he wanted you to come to him. Sounds like what your boy did in the middle of the night! And it is nothing like a howl or yodel, it is a bloodcurdling scream! Anne in Tampa

    We take our kids as many places as we can… hiking swimming running/jogging- nature trails parks doggie events (like ours!! www.firstgiving.org/bdawg) I've taken Lexi to do lure coursing a few years ago- it was fun, but she wasn't as in to it as I thought she might be; our dobie was FAR superior! lol

    All three pups sleep in bed with us. We bought two double beds and stuck them togeather so we could all fit. It's still crowded. My next dog IS going to sleep in a crate!
