    Hello,

    I don't actually own a Basenji but am looking to get one at the end of the year but have joined this forum to do as much learning and hearing about personal experiences as I can.
    I currently own a small cross breed dog Charlie who is just over a year old and Freja a German Shepherd dog who is 8 months old.

    Looking forward to chatting with you all,

    Erin

    Not yet. I'm moving house and town in the next few months and once all that is sorted I will make contact.

    I already have chosen the one I would love to get a pup of though :)

    That is great, who are you think about getting a pup from?… you would be surprised how "close" knit the Basenji community of breeders is... regardless of were in the world they live... we all know or know of each other...

    Thank you for adopting this beauty. She looks so much like my first basenji.

    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 agree with the others that this is not a common practice among BCOA breeders. I am sorry that this happened to you and yes, you should get your deposit back.

    My EL D will nip "unprovoked" at the legs of any males that come near me – I think it's related to incidents with his previous owner. But also I've been noticing that these "attacks" are not always totally unprovoked. In some cases, he'll nip at my brother when he comes out of the dark guest bedroom or up from the dark basement and I think he doesn't like the surprise. He'll also nip if there's too many people crowded around me or him and so maybe he doesn't like feeling surrounded. Maybe there is something that is really setting off alarms with your beastie too. EL D hasn't been any problem when we're out on our walks - he'll even let the neighborhood kids come running up and pet him (I've told all the kids however that they have to let EL D smell them before they touch him and the kids all respect that so far). The problem might partly be a territorial thing.
