    For years all my boys had tails to the left and the girls tails to the right but this has changed now and my current pack contains 2 female and 2 male lefts and 3 female and 1 male right. They will all hold their tails on the opposite sides but not for long.

    Welcome on the forum!! You chi is veru cute… I think every Basenji is different, as example, Our Buana (a male) would play with a chi, but our Chafuko... (also a male) would see him as some nice hunting toy and see him as a prey. I think when you introduce a Basenji as a puppy, they get to know eachother as friends. Good luck with finding a second companion!

    I, (name), take you, (Basenji), to be my pooch, my constant friend, my faithful partner and my love from this day forward. In the presence of God, our family and friends, I offer you my solemn vow to be your faithful partner in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad regardless of the obstacles we may face together, and in joy as well as in sorrow. I promise to love you unconditionally, to support you in your goals, to honor and respect you, to laugh with you and cry with you, and to cherish you till death do us part. BDawg-you said it better then I ever could :D it is a true marriage in every way, shape, & form. There isn't ANYTHING I wouldn't do or sacrifice for my two pooches. I told my DH that I would sooner give him up then my dogs :D :D I'd never leave my dogs no matter what. He told me we'd have a bitter battle over the…lol :D BTW-I know EXACTLY what you mean by that "bond" they trust you to protect them & take care of them & love them.

    Although I have a large fenced yard with my three, I don't see the problem with not having a fenced yard. For the first 8 months I didn't have a fence-it just made me work harder to keep my B (Shadow) happy. The biggest thing is to make sure that you can change YOUR thinking. These dogs are not G Shepherds, Boxers, (which I have and a Heeler also) nor are they like any other domesticated dog. You will end up being trained by them. They are not submissive like other dogs and they think independently. You will find yourself putting things away that you never thought possible. Garbage will become a treat to enjoy (whether in the cupboard or not). Shadow has managed to pull the garbage through a small opening where my other dogs couldn't care less. I have baby locks and gates throughout my house and double doors. As has been said many times-please read the stories and then visit and THEN if and only if you can live with destruction, chaos and change and are willing to change your ways of thinking-look for a Basenji! (Sorry to be a party pooper, but we see so many returned, broken, beaten, aggressive and unhappy dogs and people we would rather you see the bad before the good.)

    I really appreciate all of the replies… the advice & suggestions are invaluable. With everything in perspective, I feel I lot better, and I can't wait to meet some Basenjis! I think we may go meet some this week, and we're both really excited! Thanks again! Carrie
