Yes to the suggestions to get her checked and also spay her.
Aggression may not necessarily be vicious but rather reaction to the scary situation she encountered. It can be dealt with through consistent and regular training (with treats to start) - you might try the Fenzi Dog Academy online classes (they have a great class for retraining reactive dogs). But regardless you need to be more aware of her surroundings and not put her in a situation that may be scary to her or at least get her attention back on you (treats) when you can't avoid the situation.
First time Basenji owner!

Hi Brenda,
Congrats on your new family addition, Cleo! She is a cutie pie! Looks like my B tri-mix Daisy (15 weeks old now). Very sweet. More pics ???

Brenda,
What a great action shot of your new baby! I am sure that Peppermint will come around.
What a cutie!

Thanks to all for the warm welcome!!!
So night number one was pretty rough, she sure was vocal. She is in her crate for the night now and so far ….so good.
Had a bit of a name change though. We wanted something that suited her and the breed so we are now going to call her Zuri. That is Swahili for 'beautiful' and we think it suits her just nicely. I think the name is a keeper though we did have a few others on our list of acceptables. i will let you all know the final decision later.... for now, another pic of our cutie.Brenda
Here is another pic of her...

Bringing in two puppies together has it's merits…........it can be quite a handfull too.;)

Oh, how cute! (wait till the 'honeymoon' period is over, you might want to rethink the 2 basenji thing! I have three-I must be insane!)
-
She is simply precious. Congratulations on your new addition.

Thanks, we are sure enjoying her! What a character she is! Here is another pic of Zuri and my old gal peppermint. Looks like they just might become friends:)

Woah! I can't begin to tell you the noises I hear behind me. The two are going at it . . . because ? ? ? ? They must need each other to remind them that they are dogs. (I think). Zuri is very cute!
