Getting my first basenji

Welcome and many of us are related by our Basenjis, where is your little one coming from?

Welcome and congratulations! Get ready for a wild and wonderful ride!

My puppy is coming from Denise Searcy in Nuevo CA. I'm really looking forward to bringing my puppy home and am in the process of puppy proofing my place and getting everything ready for her.
I'm sooooo excited. I will definitely post pictures when I get her.

Congratulations on the newest member of your family! I know you're not in LA any more, but the entire LA area is very dog-friendly, as is most of CA. You'll be able to take your new B lots of places, when s/he is old enough. Meeting all kinds of people in all kinds of situations will help socialize him/her, and it will be fun for both of you. Enjoy… and welcome!

Lots of chew things, lots of warm fluffy stuff, lots of patience and a camera to catch her/his puppyhood - it is over so soon.
We have 2 B's, our first dog, the best thing that could happen to us. -
Thanks for the replies! My puppy is coming from Denise Searcy from Nuevo CA. She had two litters this year and they were both whelped on December 28th…two hours apart!
I spoke with her the other day and she said that my puppy will be ready to come home around March 8th or 9th, when she is 10 weeks old. I am moving to a new place with a private backyard March 1st so she'll have a convenient place to have some outdoor time. I'm really lucky to work in an office that is dog friendly and when she is a little older I am expecting to bring her to work with me a couple times a week.
Thank you for the input about what to get before she comes home. I know it's impossible to know everything my puppy will need since every dog is different, but I am trying my best to have my bases covered.
I will post pictures as soon as I can.

My puppy is going to be turning 10 weeks old this friday and will be ready to come home. I am so excited to bring her home! I will be posting pictures all over the place once she comes home.
-
I remember how excited I was when I got my first basenji, best day ever! Life has never been the same and I couldn't imagine life without my best friend(s)! Congratulations!
-
Great news! Apart from all the practical stuffs (lots of toys and chews!) you'll need a lot of patience and consistency.
Our Lela was house trained in a week or so, and she loved a cardboard box: it held all her toys, and she would take them out, play a bit, and then went to sleep in it… http://tiny.cc/icvgtw -
I know Denise very well and most of her Basenjis…. congrats!
-
Congrats!!! Your first day together is coming up soon right? You must be so excited!! I am getting my first boy within the next two weeks also, so it will be great to see someone else enjoy the puppy phase!! Definitely post pics as soon as you can

Here are pictures of my new puppy. Her name is Dopamine or "Dopa" for short.
She came home yesterday evening and is quickly getting the hang of things in her new home.
-
Lovely - I especially like the Big Brave Girl in Picture 2…
-
love that name - what a cutie!
-
Love the wrinkles, congrats on a very pretty girl
-
Wow girls are so pretty, she is such a cutie. We got our boy at 10 weeks and gave him a few days to settle in with the cats and us then started training. They are so smart and pick up things quickly so have fun and enjoy as everyone will tell you they grow so fast.

I got my puppy from Denise as well past weekend. She's great! A warm basenji, is a happy basenji.
-
We picked up our puppy from Denise on Saturday as well.

Good luck & sounds like your basenji is a lucky dog. One thing with a basenji you need to stay one step ahead of them. Keep that in mind when you take your basenji to work with you….
