  • She is very cute! :) It's wonderful that you have taken her on. Good luck with everything.

  • She is darling and you are now OWNED by a Basenji!! Mine is a mix (basenji and whippet) and she still does the B500 through the house (furniture is ALWAYS involved). My Hollie only digs after seeing other dogs do it… a learned behavior(?). I agree with the forum members who suggest crating Abby, for her own safety and your piece of mind. Hollie has gotten out of the dog lot where I work about 4 times. She is NEVER outside without me now. I couldn't stand it if something happened to her. Good Luck!!

    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
