Hi there. Now that I'm not quite as upset as I was last night, let me describe his behavior in more detail. Let me first start by saying Bentley has sezuires and is on medication for it. When I purchased him, I drove to another state (a long way). The breeder had A LOT of besanjis and in conversation he used the term "sometime I put them all in the barn and let them have at it". (As in mating) Illnever forget those exact words becasue my gut was saying, this is not good but my heart was saying I want this adorable puppy. Now here we are 4 years later. Bentley is not aggressive in that he randomly attackes me. He will however, bite me if I'm Stern with him. He doesn't just bite, he comes after me biting several times. He also bites any stranger that comes to my home. If we are not at home he's not like that. Say for instance the vet. He shows no aggression toward the vet or workers at all. I've had 2 other Basenjis and so I understand their stubburness but Bentley takes that to a whole new level. I'm starting to think I'm not the right owner for this breed and I'm at a loss as what to do.

I'm at such a loss on what to do with my 4 year old basenji. He is very aggressive and bites when disaplined. I've had 2 other Basenjis and they were perfect. Is this normal behavior? His aggressiveness is getting worse the older her gets. I'm now affraid to tell him no and so he runs me.
