Congrats on your puppy…. has he (or his sire/dam) been health tested for Fanconi and PRA with the DNA test? Very important this if this has not been done for his Sire/Dam that you have your boy tested. And even if they have been tested, never hurts to follow up with having him done also.
Hello!

Last week, our family added an 11 week old Basenji named Fox Mulder! We have 3 kids (10, 12 & 16) and an 11 year old Chocolate Lab/ Husky mix named Pooka.
Fox is such a love - but of course, headstrong and a little defiant… We did a lot of research before taking him in, and have quite a bit of experince with other breeds. We are confident that with the right training and resources, we'll be a great fit! I joined the forum to hear success stories and to get to know the breed more. I am in love! -
Welcome, where did you get your b from? Some of us here are "related" by dog.
We also love photos, when you have time to post them.
There is a lot of good info here.
Glad you found us. -
Hi, welcome to the forum, i love your basenji's name
You will hear many success stories on this forum but it is very much a warts and all type of place so you will also get the truth

We welcome you and Fox Mulder to the forum! Post some pictures.

Welcome!
2 questions:
1. Where did you get your screen name from "Brand X"–any chance it is a CF ref?
2. Are you in Indiana? I am just NW of Indy! -

Hi and welcome. I look forward to hearing lots about your new basenji and "his" family.
And yes, we are all picture lovers, so when you can, we'd love to see a few of Fox Mulder. -
Welcome to our pack. Just a word of wisdom - when training your beastie - I mean basenji - use clicker training with really tasty treats. They catch on much much faster to this type of training. With a name like Fox Mulder I'm sure you'll find he'll be investigating all sorts of weird things :p

BrandX,
How are the pups getting along? I love the X-files reference with B's. They always seem to travel in a different dimension than most other creatures and the truth is always over the next rise!
Have great fun
