Basenji sitting on other dogs' heads

Basenji Talk
  • Do your Basenjis sit on your other dogs?
    It's been established that my Bailey is a little pill, but she does the strangest thing when she is annoyed with one of the other dogs, she'll sit down on top of the other dog's head. She calmly looks around the room and at me - then gets that "Oopsy, am I sitting on YOUR head?" look. She is a very strong female, and I swear if she could laugh out loud, she would be when she does this.

  • That's hysterical!!! I want to see pics!!! :)

  • LOL! Cody used to do that to Remi! Granted, Remi is 100% Meanness poured into a cute puppy package, so usually Cody did this after he was tired of Remi's antics.

    Remi would be taking a two minute rest break from attacking/pouncing/playing with Cody. Usually he would rest on the cushion by the window. Cody would just calmly walk over to the window, circle around by Remi, sit right on his head, and look at me with his forehead wrinkled so as to say, "Mama, you know you'd have done the same thing if he was going after your dangley-bits, if you had them."

  • Otis does that sometimes, and he always does it to the dachshund, the dog that can't stand him, so funny..

  • :D:D:D Would love to see pics

    My mum has one of these, though a bit different.A good friend of hers, sadly no longer with us of the Taysenji Basenjis brought it back for her when she spent time living in Zambia many years ago. It will be passed down to me when my mum is no longer here as it has sentimental values and I will never be parted with it.

    You know- I hadn't thought about it, but there is a new standard poodle in our complex that everytime Jack sees him he goes crazy- hackles raised, growling, baring teeth. That is the only big dog he has ever had an issue with. I think it might be because the owner doesn't pick up the poop like she is supposed to, so maybe he catches on to the fact that I'm not really their biggest fan.

    I used to always take Senji with me to the nursing home where my grandmother stayed for 1 1/2 years before she passed away. They allowed people to bring pets in to visit. Senji knew exactly where grandma's room was, even though it was down at the end of the hall. He also liked to jump into bed with grandma's roommate, who was a middle-aged stroke patient. He never got snarky or nippy at any of the other residents. It's like he knew they were old and disabled. The only time he's act up would be when he'd encounter the resident cat. :D

    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!
