I think that a basenji puppy and a two-year-old is a recipe for disaster for many reasons. Both require and crave lots of attention, neither one can be reasoned with, both will want to play with the same toy, both can be stubborn, and the list goes. It is far too much to expect a two-year-old to understand how to get along with any puppy, especially a basenji puppy. If your heart is set on a basenji puppy, then I think you should wait until your child is at least five or six years old.Children that age understand what you are saying about the puppy and you can explain to them why you are saying it. I agree with the person who suggested getting an older basenji or how about a puppy of another breed? t one time in my life I had a basenji and a mixed breed, and they got along beautifully.
You may love all the traits of this breed but I was suggest that you talk to owners and their experiences with the basenjis and young children. One cannot count on even the best breeders to give you the full story. Please don't get me wrong. I've had three basenjis and adored them all. I got the first one when my youngest daughter was seven. You don't have to wait that long but two years old is too young, imho. Good luck.

This sweet boy is still looking for a new home.

I would take him in a heartbeat, unfortunately hubby would not like me too much! Are they allowed to have their dew claws over there to show? Most of them are taken off in Canada and the US.
-
Yes, in Europe we naver take dew claws off.
His new photos.

OMG that is so unfair! He is too cute. I don't want a puppy, but if he was closer to home I don't think I could resist!
Love the pictures. I hope you find him a great home. -
Oh my goodness so very very cute!!! Is this Lola's boy ???
-
I saw this little guy on FB and would be tempted to take him if I was closer. Do they test for Fanconi in Europe?
-
Yes, this is Loa's boy.
No they don't. We have to send samples to the USA.
-
He is unfairly adorable… I already have a male so that won't quite work.. I do hope to get a red and white female when Oakley decided to let me breathe for more than a moment! Hope he finds a great home, let us know!

I have always loved her as a dog. And he is just too adorable.
