Welcome to the group! I think it is a great idea to visit a breeder of Basenjis with your son. I hope he will be OK with a Basenji and his allergies don't act up because you all will have such fun with a Basenji. They are smart and sassy and funny and so loving and loyal. If you don't have your heart set on a puppy since very few are available now, you might register with Basenji Rescue and Transport to see if they have an older dog for you. My Basenjis have all been rescues and while each was different, each was the light of my life.
New here!

I stumbled upon this forum one day and decided to join. I live in sunny Florida and ever since I discovered that my now 8-year-old dog was a basenji mix, I have been obsessed with the breed. I have done tons of research over the years and want to own a Basenji one day(probably when I get out of college). What can I say? Like many others, I've fallen in love!
Unlike her basenji relatives, my dog, Nugget, can bark. She is a bit larger than a basenji, but still retains the curly tail. She is red with white markings and a little black on her face. I love her and she has been my companion for nearly 8 years now. She still has the basenji trait of cleaning herself though. Here is a picture of her:

Welcome to the forum. My B is a mix too - Basenji and Whippet.

Welcome - I have two B-mixes. Duke is a Basenji-Jack and Daisy is a Basenji-Spaniel. Maybe two halves can count as a whole Basenji!!
Enjoy the forums.

Thanks, everyone! I think I'll learn a lot here.
Duke and jenwilson, I'm pretty sure my B-mix is part border collie. It's great to know of someone else who has a B-mix.
