Welcome and congratulations! I have two BRATS myself, and a third basenji as well. So beware, they ARE like potato chips (You can't have just one)
I love her name, she is gorgeous. Can't wait to hear all about her Homecoming!
Before you get a puppy… go to the Basenji Club of Canada and Basenji Club of America websites and read up on Fanconi and other heritable diseases.
ANY breeder not testing for these disease is NOT someone you should spend your time or money on one of their puppies.
Too bad you didn't look 4-5 months ago... there was a lovely litter of Khani's pups up in Drumheller!
Best of luck to you!
@lvoss:
Instead of a teeter or in addition to, you may want to build a wobble board. These are great for teaching pups to get used to surfaces that move and they can move in any direction and the board moves. I used this with my last litter and they loved it and my girl Sophie has been absolutely fearless about all the agility equipment.

Great suggestion and wonderful Idea. Its probably a better choice than I would have made for him. Also thanks for the link on how to build one.

@Arti:
Welcome to the forum ! I am so sorry for your loss…Max runs to blue meadows...over rainbow bridge...
Good luck to you.Kisses from Arti:)
Thank you. And big kisses back to Arti. I think Arti has singlehandedly (or should I say singlepawedly??) made black and white the "in" color of the year in basenji fashion! :) Such a beauty!
