Welcome and congrats on your new addition! I'm no expert, but I would re-think neutering early. I would wait until the growth plates fully close and then neuter him. And I would not say that the breed is susceptible to attacking, though Basenjis can be reserved and cautious with strangers. Most are confident, loving dogs, when socialized. It's always good to keep an eye out for problems, however, and address any aggressive behaviors before they have a chance to escalate. Good luck with him!
And another new SoCal member!

Hello and welcome!
Enjoy your basenji girl!

Welcome to the Forum. I hope you are having a blast with your little girl! I used to live in So-Cal and now live in CO…we're getting our B at the end of the month and from everything I hear about how they like the sun & warmer weather....I think a B would like So-Cal better cuz its warmer down there! Ours will just have to tough it out in the crazy Colorado weather. LOL

Wee are having ablast with her indeed. I've taken to heart what I've heard a few times on these forums: a tired Basenji is a good Basenji. She and I walk and walk and walk.
And, yes, I think they're happier in the heat. Fiji is not too impressed when it's foggy and cool in the morning. Can't imagine they'd love snow, though I know there are a lot of folks from cold climes on these boards.
