Do your male basenjis squat to pee?

Basenji Talk
  • @Nemo:

    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.:confused:

  • So funny..I love this thread..

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

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

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

  • 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

  • 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. :)

  • 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!

  • 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! :D

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

  • 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. :D

  • It's good to hear, that Thabo isn't the only one peeing on his front leg :rolleyes: :D
    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.

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

  • 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:

  • 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..

  • @Patty:

    There has to be a reason for this walking poo - does anyone have a theory?

    I was thinking about it the other day because Cody walks while he pees AND poos. He just can't be bothered to stop. Sometimes he'll walk 5 feet or more while he's peeing. Maybe it has something to do with being in the wild and not taking too much time or some such.

  • **Both my boy B's squat to pee, one's 14+ the other's 4. Peanut the older one parks to poop, but Zander is always moving. :confused:

    The other thing, is they both always head in different directions. This places 'old dad' in the middle, streched out like a scarecrow, hangin on to the fully extended flexi leads. :eek:

    Mom likens it to a "windmill in a hurricane"…..:rolleyes:**

  • Our B is over a year old and always squats.

  • We have a nine month old female who wattles around whilst she pees. She can't hide when she has an accident in the house:)

  • my 9yr nuetured male starts off in a squat and then half way through lifts his leg about 1 inch off the ground, and then switches to the other leg.

    @eeeefarm said in Can a male Basenji live with another male dog?: Tamu was considerate of Lady when she started to fail, The Duchess, a bitch bred by us, went to live with a another Basenji bitch. When Tok started to fail, the Duchess felt it her duty to feed her and went miles out over the fields, hunting. She brought back flea-ridden rabbits on an almost daily basis which she gently nosed towards the aging Tok. While she appreciated the deed, their owner didn't like the choice of diet which the Duchess provided for her friend. She was utterly devastated when finally Tok crossed the Bridge at 15 +

    Last I heard, the Breed Club secretaries had more people waiting or wanting pups than were available . You could get on a list for a Basenji next winter but I very much doubt you will find one still unsold. Go to the website of the BCGB, or the Northern Basenji Society as you are in the North and you will find email addresses of the secretaries. They will put you in touch with breeders who may be planning a litter for puppies to become ready to leave the nest in about a year's time. Its a long wait I know, but you have most probably missed the boat for now. You are welcome to post me privately. Good luck!

    Welcome to the forum. Dogs living together are more likely to fight, and making sure your pup spends time with the other 2 regularly so they bond early will help. But I'd suggest a female. All around, both for your basenji and particularly for the Australian shepherd (who can also be testy with other dogs), it's probably your safer bet. Where are you getting your puppy from? You might find relatives on the board. :)

    Oh Barklessdog, you are a brave person. I must now stand with you in insane-solidarity and admit I bought it too. It is awful but when you get the line "we couldn't say goodbye so we took him home" part, you know you got to help support the woman. lol

    @Thana: she does have basenji characteristics then apart from her colours and looks.- i also think she must have some basenji blood! She is lovely and lucky no matter what! adorable little face:))))) Having read about the characteristics I think she does. The lady with the basenji that we met also commented on some of the things she was doing as "very basenji" (eg. standing on her back legs so she could see what was going on). Has a lovely wrinkly forehead too. Got very frustrated with me earlier and did her funny bark, more of a wierd howl really. She is def one of a kind. Its a shame we have to have her spayed (not that I could ever justify letting her have a litter).
