Welcome! Bimmy looks like a very handsome, fun-loving guy.
And the CEO pic is spot-on, because Basenjis definitely think they are in charge. And, well, who are we to argue? :)

welcome to the forum, i look foward to hearing more about Bimmy. Lovely handsome boy

My experience with B's is that they ONLY come when called when you first get them–after that, they know you'll never leave them behind so they get REAL casual about listening : ) Be careful about letting him off leash, few Basenjis develop really reliable recall, while many more are hit by cars or lost.

I agree completely with this - when a Basenji has other things on his/her mind. you may become the last thing they care about. I always envy people who can let their dogs off leash - but I won't give my girl a chance to run off!

Welcome to Bimmy and your family! Those pictures made me smile - he looks like he has tons of personality. And isn't it nice when we can find a safe place for our dogs to run? They certainly, as Bruce Springsteen said, were "Born to Run". :D Groan…. ;D
Thanks for the warm welcome. Any yes, it is always great when we can find a place to let Bimmy run, as he sure loves it! The beach mentioned in the earlier post was such a great location as it was only accessible by boat (no cars, woohoo!) and completely surrounded by water.
We moved back to NC a few months ago, so we aren't close to that beach anymore, but we did find the next best thing…..lure coursing! We've taken him to two events so far and he loves it. The night after his first event I think he even dreamed about it, cause he started running in his sleep, haha!
