Markie, I think when adding a basenji to an existing household, it is most important to just get out and visit with lots of breeders and meet their dogs. Some families of basenjis get along great with other dogs and others are not as good. You really just need to be up front about your expectations and do some visits to see how the dogs are. That way you find a breeder with the temperaments you like and they know what you need in a pup and can match the pup with your household.
Basenji's in the news

Just thought I'd share some news articles. Both nsmbc.com and bbc.com have great articles about dog domestication starting in africa. There's a picture of a r/w basenji on the msnbc web article, It was a interesting piece
about our dogs african roots. They are on today's web page 8-4-09 and yesterdays 8-3-09 on the bbc site. -

Interesting articles, both. No wonder our sub-Saharan dogs like the heat.

The B in the BBC picture looks like it's well taken care of, at least from that view.
