Puppies take a lot of your time, and it really isn't fair to the pup unless you have that time to give. It's not good for any dog to spend too much time alone, especially locked in a crate. It can be disastrous for a pup. If you're home a lot, by all means get that special puppy, but if you spend much of your day away, an older dog might be the way to go. Of the five Basenjis I have owned, two I raised and three I adopted between the ages of eight months and three years. It was far easier to cope with already housebroken dogs and integrate them into our home. And down the road, if you do get a puppy, you will have a companion so the pup doesn't have to be alone.

Hello,
My name is Rebecca. I am from Indiana. I am the Vice-President of America's
Basenji Rescue. Just wanted to say hello to everyone. I love this breed. I had never been around Basenjs till I met my fiancée. They are the most fascinating, regal, graceful, loving, intelligent, independent, and can do things to your furniture that you never dreamed a dog would do, lol. I have my own girl now. Her name is Lilly. She is my best friend. I am disabled and was needed something to help me through the bad times. She has touched a place in my heart. -
Welcome !!!!!!!! They seem to grab our hearts in ways only other B owners can understand. Thats why I love this forum. I haven't been a member long but I am addicted.

Welcome to this great place. I have to agree with you totally. I had a toy poodle throughout my teenage years that I loved with all my heart. When we had to pput him down, I swore off animals FOREVER….then we meet Champ and he has made us love him like nothing we could have ever imagined and now we have our #2 Belle who has won our hearts over as well. I tell everyone that they must have old souls inside them because something about them is just magical.
