Freddie, Your Bull Terrier - Basenji Buddy?

February 11, 2010
Posted by Beth Kemler

I (Freddie's foster mom) am thinking that he's got some Basenji in him. I was thinking it myself and then someone asked me if he was a Basenji on a walk the other day. Between his white markings and the curl of his tail, I definitely see it. What do you think?

He's continuing to do well with his house training. He marks in the house occasionally but that's to be expected with a young male dog who was just neutered a few weeks ago and is living in a household with two other dogs.

He's also continuing to be SUPER sweet. He loves to give kisses and to wrestle with me on the couch.

I'm working on his separation anxiety but I can say with experience from having a dog with separation anxiety that it's a process that takes a while. He'll need a family who's committed to working with him on it and can deal with hearing him bark some at first, since he barks any time that he's separated from his owner. He barks when I go into the bathroom without him, he barks when I leave the house without him and he barks when crated. You can read more about separation anxiety here.

If you're interested in meeting Freddie (and having him lavish you with licks and love), please come to the dog adoption event this Saturday.
