If that's a picture of Gossy, she is a beauty. Do you have more than one Basenji? I'd like to get two but live in a townhouse and the new one might be a bit more active than Sonar.

I am SO VERY HAPPY to read this although I am sorry you are having these problems. but my Basenji does the EXACT SAME THING! so silly of a habit…sometimes he just turns completely around and seemingly does not want to walk. he has also laid down and looked up at me. You know the Pygmies in Africa carry their Basenjis at times around their necks, legs hanging over their shoulders. Perhaps it is a natural thing for them to feel not to want to walk long distances, save their strength for the hunt...well i like to think that anyway. I tried carrying Sonar around my neck but I'm 5 foot 8 and the drop is pretty far if he decides to go...otherwise it is a fun thing to do.
