Basenji apology

    As readers will know I was having bedtime agression problems with EL D for awhile. He was really good for several days and then the other night he growled again so I yelled at him and told him to get out of the bed. That surprised him. After a few minutes I let him back in. When he growled again I really yelled at him and tossed him out of the bedroom. He sat out there and looked at me with really sad eyes. After I shut off the light and several minutes more, he slowly came into the bedroom, climbed on the bed, and then cuddled really close to my head (which he never does) and put his paw on my shoulder. Talk about being sorry. :)

    I'll have to try that…we've got a growler in our bed as well...usually she's growling at our cat, though, who won't stay in one place during the night.

    Good for you, as many of us have said, "They have to earn the right"…. and when they step over the boundries, they lose those priviledges....

    Aww - what a sweet way to let you know he's sorry. When Duke was a puppy - last year, if he hadn't been such a sweet sorry puppy, he would have been gone. He wasn't very nice, but knew when to be sorry. That and along with his looks kept him locked in my heart.

    Thats a good idea!! We are having some issues with Trixie at night but its because she hears our other dog Josie walking around. She talks in her devilish tongue but i just pet her and tell her no and she usually stops. They certainly do get cranky when they are tired!!! lol

    When my husband and I got togeather, Dakota, my first b, would nip him if he moved the slightest bit during the night. One night at 3:00a.m. they finally had it out. Hubby pushed him off the bed, Dakota jumped back up growling. They went back and forth for at least 15 minutes. Dakota finally sat on the floor for a few minutes then jumped back up, curled up and went to sleep. He never nipped him again.

    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. :(

    lol usually when you breed a bigger dog to a smaller dog the Male is the tiny one. Its just dangerous to do it the other way around. As far as DNA breed testing I would go for it if I could. But i am just interested in those kinds of tests. We offer them at our clinic but i haven't ever seen results for them.

    @phoenix3: Looks like a B to me but i think more of a B mix he looks like he has corse hair Maybe be has the size of a cattledog body and a basenji head :) My Aspen is a cattledog/ terrier mix he has the body of a cattledog {the colors} and the height and face of a terrier heres a pic so u can see the colors of the cattledog well one color anyways :D :D phoenix3 - this is Aspen? I'm so amazed at her spots, because my Daisy has spots like Aspens. We know her mother is pure R/W Basenji and she is thought her other half Beagle. One of her other litter mate moms thought Blue Healer (cattledog). But I subscribed to the Beagle. Daisy could be … Cattle Dog I suppose. She's bigger than Duke now at almost 9 months old. I will show her off soon on "Show Off" forum soon.

    Basenji Traits Your Basenji Doesn't Have…

    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!
