Find a good positive reinforcement puppy class, like clicker training and you will both have fun. All of mine have earned at least a rally novice obedience title and love the training. There are some things that you should not expect of a basenji such as being outside off lead. They are sighthounds and must be on a lead or in a fenced area at all times. The biggest issue with a house with children is that the children must understand the door can never be left open. My inlaws have a terrible habit of wanting to stand in the doorway and talk as people leave. I have to shoo them outside so the dogs do not try to dart outside given the opportunity. We have had ten basenjis since our son was two, he is now 27 and the basenjis raised him.
United Kennel Club (UKC) now has a Basenji breed parent club

I've just seen on FaceBook a new group dedicated to the American Basenji Club, which is the breed parent club for UKC.
Those of you on FB who are interested in UKC, here is the link :

Actually we will (American Basenji Club) be applying to become the Parent Club for Basenjis within UKC, as of now we are an approved breed club "Basenjis" within UKC

Okay I am confused. Why isn't there a British Basenji Club (and there isn't, I looked!)

That's really sad we have to have an AMERICAN club to fill the gap, but kudos to those doing it!
EDITED NOTE, lol: Read below before you comment. bahahahahaha

Why would there be a British Basenji Club?

Oh Pat, for crying out loud, cause I obviously need a combination of more sleep and caffeine I saw UK and thought United Kingdom.
My daughter says I don't have to look for a nursing home, they're looking for me some days.
I'd delete my post but it's pretty funny so I won't. -
