Seems to be the problem with Colorado breeders too, and everything in my region...

Need more resources nationwide IMO. I've had my eye open in Wyoming for years but all dogs are a 1000 mile journey to prove my worth to get.

Working on becoming a member, my ability to be on the internet 24/7 has been severely effected by actually owning a Basenji

None of the dogs he does it do display to me any aggression. They sit there as Senji walks up to him, they start sniffing, Senji's mohawk raises and then he growls a tiny growl and then raises up and then both dogs are pissed.

He gets a lot better quickly if they can work it out a little bit. Then Senji acts like the better dog, except his throat bites, I know they are play bites, but nobody likes my dog playing like he's trying to kill their dog.

I live in an extremely dog friendly apartment complex. Senji has plenty of time to meet other dogs and I do feel he's getting better slowly, as I catch him before he goes into a full dominance stance and get him to calm down and just look at the other dog and see he's not threatening him.

Senji is a big Basenji at 27 pounds and he thinks he's alpha a lot.

I'm trying to use positive reinforcement when he's good and just leaving the situation when he's bad. He's starting to learn he only gets the opportunity to go meet other dogs when he stays calm on the way over.

Sadly Senji is not so far

He's got a mini dachshund living with him, they get along pretty good, Moose feels like the little man out when I'm playing tug o war with Senji, but Moose has no actual desire to play tug of war so he's just jealous.

Senji gets a few seconds in to the sniffing process and then snaps into aggression, he is a lot better if they can have that moment and then go play. But not many people let their dog come play after that.

We've got Senji home and things get better by the hour.

Here's a couple more photos

Here's a classy sleeping position…

He's been great with people, less great with dogs a bit bigger than him, he think's hes some sort of bully and pretty unpredictably gets ferocious… Whats your thought on curbing this behavior?

He's possessive of rawhides and pretty snap aggressive with other dogs, I've been trying to get a hold of him quickly and get his attention from the aggressive activity. Any Basenji specific ideas?

SENJI IS HOME!

That's all for now, I will be taking pictures and video a bunch in the first few days I do assume.

GREAT NEWS!!!

The meet and greet went more than awesome, Senji seemed uninterested in the cat once she puffed up once and then she even calmed down around him, this was done in a tiny room at the humane society, so in our home it should be even better.

Senji and Moose bonded instantly, Moose was already trying to get him to play!

The Humane Society was blown away at how awesome it went! I was too!

My old vet lost my records, or the doctor took them home for some reason. I have to wait over the weekend for them to find them and go get Senji once they have my cat's records.

SO, I'm a bit bummed I don't get him this weekend but Senji is definitely on his way to his forever home and you could see how excited he was when we were all hanging out as a family.

I'm more than excited and more than thankful for the support I've received from the community.

Keep an eye out, I love taking pictures of my animals and sharing info I learn.

I might buy a clicker, but I have a quick gentle snap I'm pretty good at when the kitties get into trouble, so I'm gonna try that.

Seems to be, they have a 3-5 day application processing wait period. It's been a pain but i'm hoping they call me tomorrow, I'm just going to bring Moose up there tomorrow.
