If you pay attention, there may be some subtleties that might give you a clue. Dogs pay close attention to body language. He may see the Collies as a threat because of something not easily noticeable, and perhaps he is generalizing if one of them has given him bad vibes and the others look similar enough for him to consider them a threat. My boy really didn't like small white fluffy dogs, I have no idea why....but perhaps because many were noisy and wanted to get in his face.
The Essence of a Basenji Owner
-
Had to chuckle when I received the following message on Facebook from one of our previous puppy buyers:
Can you send us an e-mail? Raider ate our purchase agreement so I no longer have your e-mail address. We do want another puppy this winter, Raider is the best Basenji!
Only a B owner would think that it was just fine for the "best Basenji" to have eaten the purchase agreement. And this is from the people who called us not long after they got him to say that Raider had found a hole in the side of their family room couch, which he made into his own Habitrail by eating all the way through and out the other side. They thought he was so clever!

Sounds like they were prepared for a Basenji!

Love this story

Yes, they are "naturals" for basenji ownership. Admiration of your basenji's cleverness is a wonderful point of view!
