Which animal is commonly associated with training issues when performing venipuncture?

Great Dane
Basenji
Chihuahua
Poodle

The correct answer is: Basenji

The Basenji is often associated with training issues during venipuncture due to its unique temperament and behavioral traits. This breed is known for its independent nature and can be quite stubborn. Unlike some other breeds that may be more accommodating during medical procedures, Basenjis can be resistant to handling and may express anxiety or fear when restrained. This makes it challenging for veterinary technicians to perform venipuncture successfully without proper training techniques and sometimes additional calming measures. Training issues can arise from a lack of desensitization to handling or previous negative experiences with veterinary procedures. The Basenji's sensitivity to stress can lead to increased difficulty during venipuncture, emphasizing the importance of employing gentle and patient techniques when working with such breeds. Proper handling techniques and familiarization with the procedure can help mitigate these training challenges.
