Do your male basenjis squat to pee?

Basenji Talk
  • @thunderbird8588:

    :D:D This thread is quite amusing, our big Dog used to poop as he walked along. You had to keep a watch otherwise you stood in it!

    OMG, don't get me started on the walking and pooping. :D:rolleyes:

  • @Nemo:

    OMG, don't get me started on the walking and pooping. :D:rolleyes:

    Mine does that and he'll twirl around in circles on a lawn and if it's night time it's "damn, where did that poop go"? using a flash light.:confused:

  • So funny..I love this thread..

  • Tupper does both while peeing. Glad to hear that he isn't the only one that walks while he poops! What is with that?

  • I had a walking pooper too once, but he was a King Charles spaniel. He was like Nope ain't got time to stop….

  • LOL! Glad Cody's not the only one! Sometimes I call him Pee-paws and other variations.

  • My males at home 99% of the time would squat and pee… out on a walk or at shows/lure trials would lift their legs... but then I have had bitches that also lifted legs.... Oh and all mine are/were walking poopers

  • sooooooo funny…..
    hansel only lifts to mark, other wise squats.... when he marks, he ALWAYS pees on himself because he gets distracted and walks away before he is done. AND he walks as he poops too. when and if there is an ACCIDENT in the house we ALWAYS know who did it....
    lol
    Jonny never marks and never lifts his leg... always squats and doesnt walk while he poops.
    what a LOVELY topic. hahahaha
    they are both fixed. :)

  • Like, Pat, 99% of the time my boys squat in the back yard, or even the first major pee of a walk. After that, it is a social communication event, as high as they can mark. Nicky also will hike a rear leg and try to pee on a post, silly girl.
    Mine rarely do the walking-poops, thankfully, as it makes night pick-up a real challenge!

    Silly thread, always funny, even their most basic functions bring us pleasure!

  • Blaze use to always lift his leg. Then one day he was showing off for a girlfriend, lifted his leg a little too fast, slipped on the ice, landed on his back and peed all over himself. He was mortified!
    Now he will only lift his leg if he has the time to ensure he has proper footing.

    Now that is funny! :D

    I always chuckle when Kananga stretches out when he squats. He's almost on his knees sometimes. :rolleyes:

  • Tee Hee. I love these light hearted threads.

    Chance lifts his leg so high I'm sure he's going to fall over! His bladder must be massive, someimes it takes over a minute for him to fininsh peeing. We've even held up judging at dog shows because he needs a pee. :eek:

    My GSD poos while walking/walks while pooing. When we walk all of the dogs together the GSD must lead so whoever is behind can poop the scoop. :D

  • It's good to hear, that Thabo isn't the only one peeing on his front leg :rolleyes: :D
    And we always have to wait until he cleaned himself…

    Thabo does both. First pee squatting and after that he lifts his leg to mark.

  • My bitches walk-poo and my dogs stand still! There has to be a reason for this walking poo - does anyone have a theory?

  • Tyler never lifts to mark in the back yard, but once on a leash outside the yard, nothing is safe. When he's done he stands in front of Kate, and she cleans him. EEEUUUWWWW :eek:

  • Otis leans into his squat I swear it splatters right up on his lower stomach..when he does pick his leg up, it is extremely close to landing on his front legs..but I don't think he has actually gotten himself pee'd on yet.

    Our old dog Lou (past over the bridge a year ago) would always wait and pee until our other dog Bogus (also past over the bridge a year ago..tough spring.) so he could pee on Bogus' head..never failed..it always involved bath time to take the two on a walk together.. Lou was a dalmation/chow/lab mutt and Bogus was a westie..

  • @Patty:

    There has to be a reason for this walking poo - does anyone have a theory?

    I was thinking about it the other day because Cody walks while he pees AND poos. He just can't be bothered to stop. Sometimes he'll walk 5 feet or more while he's peeing. Maybe it has something to do with being in the wild and not taking too much time or some such.

  • **Both my boy B's squat to pee, one's 14+ the other's 4. Peanut the older one parks to poop, but Zander is always moving. :confused:

    The other thing, is they both always head in different directions. This places 'old dad' in the middle, streched out like a scarecrow, hangin on to the fully extended flexi leads. :eek:

    Mom likens it to a "windmill in a hurricane"…..:rolleyes:**

  • Our B is over a year old and always squats.

  • We have a nine month old female who wattles around whilst she pees. She can't hide when she has an accident in the house:)

    @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.

    Welcome to the forum. Dogs living together are more likely to fight, and making sure your pup spends time with the other 2 regularly so they bond early will help. But I'd suggest a female. All around, both for your basenji and particularly for the Australian shepherd (who can also be testy with other dogs), it's probably your safer bet. Where are you getting your puppy from? You might find relatives on the board. :)

    There's nothing like a basenji in the works, from the way they instinctively lay with their had on the bum looking the other way ( I've never met a B that doesn't) to the way you KNOW they all rub on wet towels or play bow…it's all very endearing and in this breed you often identify traits that they all have, an insight into their genetics and their behaviors. I've never enjoyed a breed so much.

    My Basenji Billy is quite undershot; he's a purebred, his bottom jaw just didn't stop growing when it was supposed to. That's okay, I'm a bit of a sucker for a dog with an underbite anyway.:) He was my first rescue Basenji.

    @phoenix3: Looks like a B to me but i think more of a B mix he looks like he has corse hair Maybe be has the size of a cattledog body and a basenji head :) My Aspen is a cattledog/ terrier mix he has the body of a cattledog {the colors} and the height and face of a terrier heres a pic so u can see the colors of the cattledog well one color anyways :D :D phoenix3 - this is Aspen? I'm so amazed at her spots, because my Daisy has spots like Aspens. We know her mother is pure R/W Basenji and she is thought her other half Beagle. One of her other litter mate moms thought Blue Healer (cattledog). But I subscribed to the Beagle. Daisy could be … Cattle Dog I suppose. She's bigger than Duke now at almost 9 months old. I will show her off soon on "Show Off" forum soon.
