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.

Welcome M_Canadian,
We recently adopted an older (3) dog from Beaubri B's. They were previously in B.C. but now are in PEI. Leo is one special boy, (aren't they all :p). They are very careful about where they place their B's, which is very smart for this breed.
How is living with Border Collies?
Best

It is very interesting living with Border Collies. They have very very independent minds and are sometimes too smart for their own good. haha
You never know what they are going to think of doing next.
