Hello Marian,
Welcome. What a happy home it must be.
We are Kees-Jan and Anne-Marie from Marken, north of Amsterdam. Where do you live? Maybe we can walk together some time? Also check http://www.basenji-club.nl/ for basenji walks.
We have two daughters from Abotere Khamau, Lela and Binti (2,5 and 3,5 years old) - our first dogs, and we recognize a lot that you wrote.
People warned us about getting a basenji, but we have not been happier since they took over our house and hearts. Lela came with us as a pup (enought to keep you busy) and Binti joined half a year later - it took her around 1,5 years to really settle.
Here's a picture with their big mama friend Kiko the Akita https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/dNOYjJPSlhUGbZK3LZxvbwxZLf3J_PvRjNp46MdVlt4?feat=directlink
We hope to meet all of you soon.
Hello from the Central Valley

Hi there. I was rescued by my (I think) Basenji-mix, Copper, in March. He is about 1-year old now (the vet thinks). After some comments at the pet store and doing more research, I am pretty certain he is mostly Basenji. He definitely has the behavior traits!
As I learn more about Basenji's, I am more in love with them! If/when my housing situation permits, Copper will get a new friend. Until then, we enjoy our jog/walks, the dog park, daycare and just running the B-500 at home.
So happy to have found you all. I hope to get an album of my distract-o-pup up soon.

Welcome

Welcome welcome! I love how you said that YOU were rescued by Copper. I believe rescue dogs are special and will come into someone's life when THEY need rescuing.
And yes, we love seeing pictures here!

I am not quite sure about his mix, with the longer body. I think his tail may have been broken near the base early on but…
Here are a few pics.

He looks a lovely boy.
