@elbrant That's how all my 8-some learned to catch.
If food dropped on the floor - you lost it ! So they all stood on their hind legs and it was like feeding a nest of fledgling sparrows. A gentle toss of the treat and someone caught it !
Before you get a puppy… go to the Basenji Club of Canada and Basenji Club of America websites and read up on Fanconi and other heritable diseases.
ANY breeder not testing for these disease is NOT someone you should spend your time or money on one of their puppies.
Too bad you didn't look 4-5 months ago... there was a lovely litter of Khani's pups up in Drumheller!
Best of luck to you!
I got a 15 week old puppy when my female was 8 and my male was 5. Both were happy to have a puppy around. They all spent hours chasing each other and the squirrels in the back yard around.
Fortunately my puppy didn't pick up my female's habit of digging up the back yard.
