Capt. Jack For Sale

Basenjis For Sale or Wanted
  • I have been away from the forum for a bit of time due to work and well since we have our 2nd B, my hands are really full at home but I decided to come in and check on my old basenji friends. I remember when you frst announced ur pregnancy and have followed you through the whole thing and reading up on Jacks attachment and behavior with you. I came on and was sad to read that you had decided to give him up, though I do agree at that time, it was best and now I'm so happy to read things are working out. I wish you the best and look forward to reading more updates. Best wishes!

    ew. :p

    Maybe it's a re-establishing of his "ownership" of you, since you went away with "the new guy"?

    Just a guess…....

  • Just curious, what does Jack do if you put him in a large wire crate?

  • Mounting is usually a sign of domination. He could be seeing himself as the alpha, trying to re-establish the pack order ?

  • he quit after about and hour. Thank goodness, he is SO random and weird somtimes…If i put him in a crate, he paws and bited the wires until he gets out or makes himself bleed....and he SCREAMS the whole time....

  • @Barklessdog:

    Actually, many people in research no longer feel that mounting is usually a sign of domination. Though it can be a sign of domination it seems to be used in many other situations including as a stress reliever.

  • hahahah..I'm not laughing at you I'm laughing with you, Sally does that same thing to my son. Yes she is a girl, and extremely shy, but when my DS comes home from school she sometimes does that. We just laugh and she stops. We haven't tried to fix it, because she does stop once we start laughing at her. Poor thing she just loves her brother's. Strange still the same!

  • Sorry you have to give away Jack. I hope you are able to find him a great home.

  • A lot of times dogs also mount as a way to initiate play. Most B's hate water and you can use a squirt bottle to get their attention, and possibly stop their mounting. One of my alpha females (until she was recently spayed) used to run around and mount all of my male dogs, she would even follow my service dog around and attempt to mount him when she was in season. Now that was a site! A Basenji trying to mount the head of a Thai Ridgeback. Bruiser would just look at me w/his pleading eyes saying "please help me MOM!" as soon as she was spayed (or came out of season) she would quit. I think she just wanted them to know she was (and still is) boss.

    I just wanted to respond to this thread. I hope everything is going good with you and things are working out. The thing I wanted to respond to was the thought that a man may have abused him since he does not do well with men. A basenji can make their mind up about disliking something for no reason at all. My first Basenji was with me from 6 weeks of age and never had a man abuse him and at two years old decided he hated men for the next two years. I kept him socialized and kept getting men to feed him pet him while I had him stacked and holding his head, had them talk to him, go over hime etc. after a while his dislike left as quickily as it came. I have had a few dogs do this sort of stuff between 12 and 18 months I call it the stupid stage, they all the sudden don't like men, women, the grooming table, the trash can outside etc. It is important to work them through their fear so they can be a complete dog. Just think how it would be for you if say you were scared of men but had to see them daily just think how stressful your life would be. I hope if you keep him you help him get through this or if you place him please be honest with the new owners and recommend that they get him out and work him through this.

    Oh man, all I can say is this is so sad. :( I read previous messages and everything looked like the puppy, whether Fanconi and health tested or not, was going to be a forever addition to a (new) family. Maybe the puppy was pushed on someone, or maybe not enough was known about the breed. I just hope he can find his forever home through BRAT, which I would also say is the best choice in this situation.

    @roxandsweet: male vs. female registerable vs. non-registerable different colors Interesting, responsible breeders don't price according to color or sex. And AKC frowns on the practice of charging more for the papers, as do responsible breeders.
