Do your male basenjis squat to pee?

[Kananga]

@lvoss:

Nicky will lift his leg on vertical objects but he also does pee standing up if he can't find a vertical object he would like to pee on. My husband calls it horse peeing because it remind him of how male horses pee.

For some reason, that's just one more thing that Basenjis remind me of horses. Kananga likes to gallop sometimes and I always joke that he's trying to be a "mini-horse".

My last Basenji was a pain for lifting his leg pee, it took ages out on a walk as he felt obligated to mark everything. I love carboot sales and i had to be careful not to get to near to stalls or he was likely to lift his leg on them :o
Whilst in his own garden he didn't bother with marking and squatted like a girl.
He was a neutered male.

Mine does both. Before I got Cody neutered, he mostly lifted his leg, but stretched/squatted sometimes. Now he only lifts his leg to mark. He mostly stretch/squats, and almost always pees on his front paws because he keeps walking. He doesn't stop to pee, he just slows down a little (He also keeps walking while he poops)

:D:D This thread is quite amusing, our big Dog used to poop as he walked along. You had to keep a watch otherwise you stood in it!

OMG, don't get me started on the walking and pooping. :D:rolleyes:

Mine does that and he'll twirl around in circles on a lawn and if it's night time it's "damn, where did that poop go"? using a flash light.

So funny..I love this thread..

[hamez]

Tupper does both while peeing. Glad to hear that he isn't the only one that walks while he poops! What is with that?

[Lenora]

I had a walking pooper too once, but he was a King Charles spaniel. He was like Nope ain't got time to stop….

[crystalncody]

LOL! Glad Cody's not the only one! Sometimes I call him Pee-paws and other variations.

[tanza]

My males at home 99% of the time would squat and pee… out on a walk or at shows/lure trials would lift their legs... but then I have had bitches that also lifted legs.... Oh and all mine are/were walking poopers

[jonny b.]

sooooooo funny…..
hansel only lifts to mark, other wise squats.... when he marks, he ALWAYS pees on himself because he gets distracted and walks away before he is done. AND he walks as he poops too. when and if there is an ACCIDENT in the house we ALWAYS know who did it....
lol
Jonny never marks and never lifts his leg... always squats and doesnt walk while he poops.
what a LOVELY topic. hahahaha
they are both fixed.

[MacPack]

Like, Pat, 99% of the time my boys squat in the back yard, or even the first major pee of a walk. After that, it is a social communication event, as high as they can mark. Nicky also will hike a rear leg and try to pee on a post, silly girl.
Mine rarely do the walking-poops, thankfully, as it makes night pick-up a real challenge!

Silly thread, always funny, even their most basic functions bring us pleasure!

[Knipper]

Blaze use to always lift his leg. Then one day he was showing off for a girlfriend, lifted his leg a little too fast, slipped on the ice, landed on his back and peed all over himself. He was mortified!
Now he will only lift his leg if he has the time to ensure he has proper footing.

Now that is funny!

I always chuckle when Kananga stretches out when he squats. He's almost on his knees sometimes. :rolleyes:

[Benkura]

Tee Hee. I love these light hearted threads.

Chance lifts his leg so high I'm sure he's going to fall over! His bladder must be massive, someimes it takes over a minute for him to fininsh peeing. We've even held up judging at dog shows because he needs a pee. :eek:

My GSD poos while walking/walks while pooing. When we walk all of the dogs together the GSD must lead so whoever is behind can poop the scoop.

[Elysium]

It's good to hear, that Thabo isn't the only one peeing on his front leg :rolleyes:
And we always have to wait until he cleaned himself…

Thabo does both. First pee squatting and after that he lifts his leg to mark.

[Patty]

My bitches walk-poo and my dogs stand still! There has to be a reason for this walking poo - does anyone have a theory?

[snorky998]

Tyler never lifts to mark in the back yard, but once on a leash outside the yard, nothing is safe. When he's done he stands in front of Kate, and she cleans him. EEEUUUWWWW :eek:

[Basenjimamma]

Otis leans into his squat I swear it splatters right up on his lower stomach..when he does pick his leg up, it is extremely close to landing on his front legs..but I don't think he has actually gotten himself pee'd on yet.

Our old dog Lou (past over the bridge a year ago) would always wait and pee until our other dog Bogus (also past over the bridge a year ago..tough spring.) so he could pee on Bogus' head..never failed..it always involved bath time to take the two on a walk together.. Lou was a dalmation/chow/lab mutt and Bogus was a westie..
