Hi everyone!

@Janneke:

Welcome to the forum Brian! Great to have you here. My biggest advice when adding a puppy is: make sure you have a camera! :D Can't wait for Cairo pics!

Thanks for the advice! :D I'll be sure and take lots of 'em - can't wait either!

@tanza:

LOL, you will find when you get your puppy from a responsible breeder that other responsible breeders and owners know them and their Basenjis….

Let me know if you know the registered names, we don't always know their call names.

Lol, I had a feeling it was a close-knit community and now I'm beginning to see that! I'll have to check with her on the registered names (I'm not sure on the spelling) & I'll get back to you.

We go coursing at the 3M park in Ames several times a year. I think we will be up there in April and Oct this year. I know there is one other basenji boy, who lives in Ames, that comes out to course too. You should bring him over to the park to socialize with the other sighthounds at one of the events. I am getting a girl mid feb, they will be close to the same age.

That sounds like a great idea - I've been looking for events to attend with him. I will definitely bring him over. I'm new to the area so the socialization wouldn't hurt me either! I had been wondering if there were any other Basenjis in Ames. Congrats on your new puppy, we'll have to keep in touch!
