    Welcome to you and Snicker. I'm pleased that you said 'accident' - it's definitely not Snicker's fault. If you follow the advice gicven by previous posters you'll very soon have the perfect housetrained Basenji. They are generally very clean little creatures and in my opinion are the easiest dog to housetrain.

    I totally agree, Pat, I've had that experience myself - as you say the whole family should be on board that's why I always insisted on seeing the whole family when placing a pup.

    There's only a few basenji breeders in the area: Craigie, Nancy A., Flutesong, Hastings, 651-480-1133 Jones, Carrie, Ankhu, Eyota, 507-876-9987 Wuornos, Sally, Sonbar Basenjis, North Branch, 651.253.6784 I've met Nancy and Sally and they both have good stock (though basenji puppies are usually not available until late winter). I've never met Carrie. You might also consider a basenji rescue, via BRAT (Basenji Rescue and Transport), http://www.basenjirescue.org/ but be sure to tell them you are new to the breed. Be sure to consider the other aspects of basenji behavior besides the allergy part. As a breed they can be a "handful" even though they are on the small side; many rival Houdini as escape artists; they have extremely strong hunting instincts; and they don't particularly like being left alone with nothing to do. On the other hand they can steal your hearts. Generally breeders are willing to show you their dogs even if they don't have any available.

    hi Jaberi, Sam and Suzanne, great to have you on board here with us. How lucky to be living in Honolulu. We travel there fairly frequently as I have a friend who lives there - such a beautiful place to take an evening walk with your basenji.
