I don't think this is particularly unusual basenji behavior. Shaye can be in the field, humped all up and ready to go, and if she spots a squirrel in the vicinity or anything else that catches her attention, she will (gross, I know) actually pull what's started out right back in and there's not a chance she's going to go for the rest of that walk, because she's on high alert from that point on. And, if there are no squirrels or cats or whatever, she will just entertain herself by biting the heads of field daisies or any other flower in the area, then spitting them out, and it's like there never was a thought in her head to go potty. Bite, spit, bite, spit, bite, spit - now that I believe is unusual behavior, but she's done it from puppyhood. She never eats them, but she can deflower the whole field if I let her.
