Basenji Screensaver

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.

@debradownsouth Thanks you so much. We'll give it a try.

I would love as much information on this as possible, too! I will be flying my dog home from Africa to the US next year. I will probably be using AirFrance.

Jennifer, I really did not know anything about "African dogs" before Bowpi. This mural at a local pet store basically sums it up for me:

I'm kind of surprised that Ridgebacks don't even place on their mural, given how popular they are around here. What initially piqued my interest about Basenjis was less their place of origin, but their breed characteristics – cleanliness, elegance, personality, etc. But it does stir the imagination to think about where they fit alongside others like the "painted" African wild dog, whom I guess commanded more attention from Jane Gooddall and the like.

@Whoalookitsme:

Does anyone have any videos of these lovely tricks 🙂

I done one not long ago but I didn't like it and deleted it. But I do plan in making a new one in the following weeks 😃 ill share when I do

Mine usually tuck their noses behind their legs when they are curled up… much like my avatar. 🙂
