Her registered name is Princess Laika from "Elevage De La Tribu Val'elsy" France
MANY thanks - so she is one of the Princess litter , home reared, by Lord Invictus De La Tribu Val'elsy out of Alexis Amatory Bosom born 1st January this year ? So she is already in the database along with Princess Kenza, Princess Kiara, Princess Nubie, Princess Paillette and Princess Pippa.
She's had a flight to contend with which you recognise could well increase her timidity but I'm sure she will soon get over it and accept the entire family. Just go easy on her for a while.
And send photos (Mom and Papa too) for the database !
Good luck !

@zande Hello! Princess Pipa is here too - a freind of mine is taking good care of her.
Just to inform you that Laika is doing super great today, she feels more comfortable at home, she plays, runs everywhere and loves going out for a walk.Thank you for your kind assistance,
Cheers,

@sammm Thank you for that ! It is great to know where Basenjis move around the world !
Just because a Basenji is happily Lord or Lady of all he or she surveys in a loving home, far away from the show ring (mine have always been house pets too) shouldn't mean it is omitted from the database. I try to show the history of Basenjis around the world, not just the ones who achieve success in the show ring - so I do beg all of you to let me have their information - date of birth and Mom, with registered name is often enough for me to place them in the correct litter !
Photos complete the looks of their pedigrees - so I welcome them too !

@tanza She is thank you ! However i have a small problem, don't know if you can help: how can you make her stay alone for 2 hours without crying her soul out, and without destroying everything in the Kitchen? Last night was her 2nd night alone in the kitchen and you don't want to know what she did... i think she was committing suicide lol... any recommendations?

Don't keep her away from you at night. She should be in your room close to you. Many use a crate next to their bed, others have their Basenji sleep with them.

@eeeefarm Thank you !
And what about leaving her for 2 hours alone?
You need to work up to that. She's a baby, after all, and not used to being all alone. Find ways to distract her when you need to go out, e.g. toys, a stuffed kong, something that will keep her occupied, and if possible only go out for a few minutes at first, gradually lengthening the time as she adjusts to your absence. And make things as "matter of fact" as you can. No big scenes when you depart or when you return, no fussing over her if she greets you, better to ignore her for a few minutes when you come back, so she doesn't get the message that your absence is a big deal.

We made the mistake of leaving our second pup alone in the kitchen the first night we had him (quite a number of years ago). Big mistake and not a good outcome at all. The second night we brought him into the bedroom in a crate and he was an angel. We've done that with new pups ever since.
Leaving her alone during the day may be different. My guess is that it will be. Just put a treat in her crate so she likes the crate and then leave her there. No doubt there will be some drama when you leave but she'll probably go right to sleep after a few minutes.
If you don't have a crate the first order of business would be to get one.
She is very cute.
