Some Pics of Beeji, my B mix

Show Off Your Dog
  • Here are some photos of Beeji, my Basenji/Terrier mix. He was a stray and I am afraid he was abused as he shies easily and startles over sudden sounds. He also cringes when you are holding something in your hand that is long and narrow, such as a remote control, etc.

    I seem to have done an attachment, I need to go back and reread how to post a photo..

  • He is beautiful! The pictures always show up as attachments and then the administrator works magic and poof they appear! Keep those pictures coming!

  • He is quite the handsome fellow!:)

  • What a cute little guy…it sounds like someone has terrified him quite a bit. It makes me so angry :mad: that people can mistreat little animals.

    Have you tried to condition positive things from the startling sounds & objects?? Topaz had the same issues with sounds. I worked with her so that every time she jumped or got startled I would ask her to sit & give her a treat. Now when she hears something she just sits :)

  • Beeji is such a cutie patootie! He's lucky to have found you and made you his "pack". :)

    Thanks to everyone for the positive feedback.

    I am working on the startle and fear responses. I like your idea of sit and treat since Beeji is definitely motivated by his passion for treats!

    When he gets scared by something such as the tv remote, I have him come to me talking to him in soft wooing tones and then show him the object and let him sniff it. Now I will add the sit and get a treat too.

    He is getting better and certainly loves living here. he has decided my Mom's double bed is much more comfortable than my single and sneaks off to stretch out on it whenever he can. :)

    Mom pretends to be upset but secretly I think she is tickled to death. She is totally ready to spoil him. He loves getting under her rollator walker. I think he like the cave feel of it. He takes his favorite bones and treats under there.

    I will be posting more photos as I take more since I want more photos, and he is so funny sometimes plus, I want him to learn that the camera is not a scary thing. In our family there are always lots of cameras out so we have to help him learn to at least tolerate them.

    Thanks everyone for all your help.

    @Buddys: Actually, my first B was found running around and was not altered. Always a possibility since the canine need of procreation is pretty darn high up there with food, water, and air…... Oh I'm sure it does happen and will continue to happen but I just don't see it happening as much as rescues claim it happens. I know for a fact some shelters (the one I worked at did!) will label dogs as rarer breeds to get them adopted faster. We had two scruffy "doodle" mix mutts and the animal warden INSISTED they were Wired haired pointing griffons. LOL.

    I could see a B in her face. I agree with the shepard cross. :)

    Okay, clearly you knew Kipawa was Scarlett's brother. Well to both of you, Olive (formerly Fina) just left after spending the day here playing with Lyric (formerly Kiki). Her mom and dad had dinner with us while the dogs played and played and played. Olive is adorable as well, but then how could she not be. And still small but filling out, Olive looks just like her daddy Sober. Hug both Scarlett and Kipawa for us and so glad you guys hooked up here. Therese
