Do your male basenjis squat to pee?

Basenji Talk
  • 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:)

  • my 9yr nuetured male starts off in a squat and then half way through lifts his leg about 1 inch off the ground, and then switches to the other leg.

  • @Kananga:

    Now that is funny! :D

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

    Squiggy does this. His knees have touched the ground before.
    If squiggy decides to hike his leg, he always rests it on something. The little pavers on my flower bed, the fence- and he only lifts it like 3 inches up. I think it is more like a modified squat ;)

    He also walks and twirls when he poops.

    Does anyone's male dog do a hunch walk when they wake up?

    Always say, opposites are best... are these littermates? Even with opposites, many times littermates are a problem... as they competed as babies for everything.... and we say, it works till it doesn't... Is there a reason you want two of the same sex? and you need to be prepared that if they don't get along you will need to separate... I was very lucky but very concerned about the two bitches I got at the same time, 2wks in age apart... I looked at the temperament of both before deciding... and LUCKED out... I have one very confident bitch and one not.. but they have meshed well together with the confident bitch not concerned with being "top" in the house, she knows she is but doesn't need to prove it.... still it took till my one bitch had puppies to prove to me that she was OK in her skin and have remained friends since... even with her puppies. IMO (in my opinion) unless you are looking to breed at some point, not worth the chance... been the other route too... and it is NOT fun

    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.

    @Thana: she does have basenji characteristics then apart from her colours and looks.- i also think she must have some basenji blood! She is lovely and lucky no matter what! adorable little face:))))) Having read about the characteristics I think she does. The lady with the basenji that we met also commented on some of the things she was doing as "very basenji" (eg. standing on her back legs so she could see what was going on). Has a lovely wrinkly forehead too. Got very frustrated with me earlier and did her funny bark, more of a wierd howl really. She is def one of a kind. Its a shame we have to have her spayed (not that I could ever justify letting her have a litter).
