It’s great that you’re doing your homework on the basenji. I think the reason you read all these “horror stories” is because they are not your typical dog. They are a beautiful and highly intelligent breed with a very strong prey drive. My Kembe is my first basenji but I was familiar with the breed because my brothers were basenji owners. I got her when she was 1years old - she was returned to the breeder by the previous owners. Kembe has never been destructive, she has free reign of our house, and I can leave her at home alone. It’s extremely important to exercise them regularly - especially exercise and stimulate their minds, and establish a routine (I can set my watch to my dog). They are definitely trainable - it scares me to see how smart she is and also well behaved. Basenjis are extremely lovable and hilariously funny. If I have a treat that my dog especially likes - she will do her whole “repertoire of tricks” without me even asking her. She dances to let me know it’s time to eat and will sit right next to me and hit me with her paw when she wants to go for her walk.
I think our basenji chose us - when we went to the breeders home to look at her - She jumped up next to my husband on the couch and curled up! I was sold on her! I really hope you find a basenji that right for you!

Yes, it was uploaded by my friend Sue. That is not her singing though. Must be a friend.

Wonderful! My Bs and I enjoyed it.

That is a lot of basenjis!

Nice pack! AJ heard them going and piped out a few notes of his own…guess he thought he should join the chorus.

How many Basenjis does Sue have Dan ?

Wonderful video! My B stood and watched/listened with her ears twitching, but still - no noise. The B mix barked at it - wish I could stop her. How many B's are there in that pack? Sometimes just my TWO drive me to the edge - kudos to her for handling that huge group.

That's a lot of Basenjis. Must be very entertaining with that many around.
