We camp a lot with the dogs. We have two x-pens set up outside of the camper for the dogs with two camp chairs in there…..you know that they can't lay on the ground right?..... If we can't put up x-pens for some reason then we have two cables for them that are made of wire with the red nylon coating on them. Those work as well but the easily become tangled if they are too close to each other.
Does your B do this!!!

If your girl is licking her stuff and not her butt, I would suggest helping her clean which will allow you to inspect.
When I would bathe my girl basenji, I would have her all wrapped up and drying off in my lap. I would use a warm wash cloth and wipe around her stuff down there. She always had dirt caked to her area and I always thought it was better to help her clean it than her get an infection.
I never had a problem doing this stuff with my dogs because I consider myself the mom. No one else is going to do it. Mom dogs will lick the puppy butts to encourage going to the bathroom etc.
My girl never fussed about it.
Anal gland expression is cheap and the best money ever spent. Make sure you ask the vet to do it and not a tech or groomer. Ask for the inside expression not the external expression. They are going to charge you either way. Once every 6 months is normal. Cairo started expressing his anal glands right around 5 months. Caesar is a repeat offender and goes every month. I had Cairo's expressed while we were there. The vet said Caesar was olives and Cairo was lima beans.
Once you have cleaned her (no soap, just warm water) and expressed those glands…see if it continues....it could be a UTI, a bug bite from sitting or a scratched anus from scooting if you see that.....

If I could lick my private parts I'd do it for way more than 10 minutes.
hahaha that made me laugh really hard, especially the reply:) -
Jackers went thru this a few weeks ago, and he gave himself a rash because of it. Now hes on allergy meds and a topical spray for his groin area. It made the rash and inflamed area go away, but i have to watch him now. i let him clean himself to a point, but REALLY, and HOUR Jack!!?? I dont think so…lol

They were just wrestling and I was taking pictures and that picture came out. He did not do anything inappropriate, it's humans who interject what’s inappropriate in a dog’s world. They're just being dogs.

No locker room humor, please
There is a time and a place, but I am pretty sure it isn't here….I'm all for a laugh or two, but that was over the top. I concur.:mad:

no, no…Barkless....go back thru the other posts. The comments weren't about your photo (very cute)...it was about a comment regarding licking one's own private parts...

I am sorry if I gave the impression my 'hand slap' was towards your photo…not at all. No need to remove it!!! I think if you go back thru the thread you will realize I just used what you said to play off of a prior post...sorry about the confusion.
