Cara went with Merlin swimming (he has neurological damage so he swims to improve leg placement). She said she doesn't think so. What was funny is she walked to the edge, JUMPED IN... the it was like "Oh No I Didn't!!"

The Basenji Sit
-
So I read on the BRAT page of Basenji "quirks" (http://www.basenjirescue.org/Chey_Miller/Quirks/Quirks.htm) that they have a funny way of sitting. I am still absolutely tickled by the way Bowpi sits… it's too cute! I call it her "Humpty Dumpty" pose because it looks kind of silly, and it makes her look egg-shaped.
Would anyone else like to share pictures of their pups modeling "The Basenji Sit?"

Here's one of AJ:

Haha, that's a great one – especially the expression on his face. I did have to look again to make sure I didn't really see an extra limb!

My Gossy did the basenji sit in training class one night – the instructor wanted to know what was wrong with her!
-
Heh, my gal won't do it except on soft surfaces.
Here's another one.

I love the basenji sit! In the beginning, we thought there was something wrong with Mojo- now we're used to it- but we still can't stop laughing everytime sits!!

i call it her meditation position. and i've taught her the difference between the commands 'sit' and 'meditate.' how funny that other basenjis do this.
