Magician basenji?

Basenji Talk
  • man, i have 3 b's and the male, ramsey, i swear no matter where i put him, or lock him up he can get out, i have a crate that i had to lock becuase he could get out if i didnt, i mean lock with a padlock also on that crate i had to put a piece of plywood on it with free weights. also when my female was in heat one day i put him in the basement and he climbed out the window 7 foot ceilings and im talk little basement windows. lastly there is a part of the basement where its dirt and he climbed out and got outside and it was freezing outside, when i got home he was on the porch. Does anyone else have problems with their b's escaping?

  • Bs…escaping?....Surely you jest! :D

  • Let's see… we have to put a carabiner on Sophie's crate, she's climbed over a six foot fence several times, can open sliding glass doors, and pop open regular doors by pawing the handle and throwing herself against it.... nope, never heard of a basenji escape artist! ;) :D

  • Basenjis escaping?? Surely you jest :rolleyes:

  • A B escaping?? Never! They would never open doors (hence baby locks), climb fences (there is those double doors), or pop the crates open (double ended locks).

  • can open sliding glass doors,

    Our girl does that, we end up leaving it open most the summer, until bugs & bees start to appear.

  • Dash will go around our fence pushing it out with his nose to find the weak spots and then escape. He also will sabbotage the leash so when we walk him it has just enough material to look like it will hold him and then it snaps and he is off like a bat out of hell. He did it this weekend. I forgot to check and we were at a gas station in Nelsonville. Thank God he comes when called.

    @planetsaver said in Basenji for me or not ?: Will be a problem to leave him alone, let's say 10 days / month an average of 9 hours a day. Also I do not want to have to much trouble with the neighbours, but I understand he can make some noise sometimes, maybe he can be trained to stay alone and not to bark that much. Why would you even think about training a hunting hound to stay home alone ? I would never let my Basenjis alone for more than 4 hours, and even that is very rare. 3 hours is absolute maximum. Like @tanza, I have sold puppies into apartment environments as long as all other boxes ticked positive. Someone there all the time, proper attention to training, not just leaving the dog alone, especially not as a puppy. btw, he won't bark at all. As you would know if you had really researched the breed. He will cry and scream but not bark ! No. At least you are asking questions but I really think you should find another breed.

    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

    @melduff I for one think this is FANTASTIC news! You guys are so lucky! You have a one of kind super dog with the papers to prove it. Walks around the neighborhood and trips to the dog park are going to be very much fun... Friendly neighbor: Oh, she's so cute! What kind of dog is she? You: Thanks you so much. Why, she's a Staffy Chow Lab Rott Russell Husky. (Ya haff ta memorize that) :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :thumbs_up: Thanks a bunch for letting us know. Very much enjoyed your thread.

    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. :(

    Oh Barklessdog, you are a brave person. I must now stand with you in insane-solidarity and admit I bought it too. It is awful but when you get the line "we couldn't say goodbye so we took him home" part, you know you got to help support the woman. lol
