Basenji sitting on other dogs' heads

Basenji Talk
  • Do your Basenjis sit on your other dogs?
    It's been established that my Bailey is a little pill, but she does the strangest thing when she is annoyed with one of the other dogs, she'll sit down on top of the other dog's head. She calmly looks around the room and at me - then gets that "Oopsy, am I sitting on YOUR head?" look. She is a very strong female, and I swear if she could laugh out loud, she would be when she does this.

  • That's hysterical!!! I want to see pics!!! :)

  • LOL! Cody used to do that to Remi! Granted, Remi is 100% Meanness poured into a cute puppy package, so usually Cody did this after he was tired of Remi's antics.

    Remi would be taking a two minute rest break from attacking/pouncing/playing with Cody. Usually he would rest on the cushion by the window. Cody would just calmly walk over to the window, circle around by Remi, sit right on his head, and look at me with his forehead wrinkled so as to say, "Mama, you know you'd have done the same thing if he was going after your dangley-bits, if you had them."

  • Otis does that sometimes, and he always does it to the dachshund, the dog that can't stand him, so funny..

  • :D:D:D Would love to see pics

    @scewbydoo One of our vet techs volunteers with the shelter where she was born. Her mom was labeled as Jack Russell. Her goofy nature makes me think Boxer mix, but who knows. The shelters down in S. TX aren't the most accurate at breed identification. I once had a shelter in San Antonio send me a picture of a brindle Basenji they wanted me to pull...it was a calico cat. Regardless of breed, Roxy is home.

    Oh! It's a baby b! Ugh. Wish you'd told me that before I looked. I've got a bad case of puppy fever.

    Our dog refuses to sit on our tile floor. He has to sit on the rug (floor too cold for his tushy) [image: cheese.jpg]

    My mum has one of these, though a bit different.A good friend of hers, sadly no longer with us of the Taysenji Basenjis brought it back for her when she spent time living in Zambia many years ago. It will be passed down to me when my mum is no longer here as it has sentimental values and I will never be parted with it.

    My Rue is pretty perfect. She is mixed with something (I don't know what) so she doesn't look like a real B… and she isn't interested in anything in our house (chewing wise), doesn't bolt out the door, and licks like CRAZY! She also doesn't really like to play with other dogs at the dog park, she just smells them, occasionally chases them, then comes back and lays down by me (EXERCISE DANG IT!). The only normal B behaviors that I see in her are the little noises that she makes (she makes a lot of them for different reasons) and her BAROOOOOOO (which is fitting because we named her Rue before we even knew she was a Basenji) and it seems like she is stubborn about sitting. It's like she is saying, "yeah I know you want me to sit, but first I'm gonna spin around in a circle. Then maybe I'll sit if I feel like it." Haha! She is a character!
