Welcome to the Forum. It sounds as though this 'protectiveness' has been going on a long time. I agree that probably it would be best to get help from a behaviorist but make sure that they have experience of Basenjis. In the meantime keep him away from your guests. It's possible that he's stirred up by the excitement so it's best to try to keep him calm when people are around.

Hey, I am a new member and wanted to say hello. My name is Elizabeth and I have two Basenji mixes. Our first is Willow (tri-colored) she will be three at the end of the month and we got her back in NC. We got her from a shelter, where they said she was a German Sheppard, Rat Terrier mix. After taking her to my family vet, she told us she was a basenji mix and we started doing research. YUP, she sure is! Once we moved to Colorado two years ago, we wanted to get her a playmate and that is how we came upon Barkley. We started getting involved with the Colorado Basenji Rescue and saw Barkley on their website. He had a broken leg but we just had to have him so we rescued him in Feb of this year. They say he is 1.5 - 2 years old. We have become very fond of the breed and look forward to being about of this group!
