@abonnard Pee pads got me through in the end, she would pee every 20 mins for the first months, then 40 mins, then she suddenly went to being able to hold it for many hours. One of the best purchases I got before she arrived was a small carpet washer, saved my sanity. The cleanup is so key otherwise they go back to the same spot.
First time Basenji owner!

Hello everyone,
We are first time owners of a basenji. Cleopatra "Cleo" joined our family April 1st 2007. She is 11 weeks old and a welcome addition. We have a 12 yr old miniature dacshund named Peppermint. Peppermint isn't overly impressed with Cleo at this point but I think they will be good friends. Cleo was very vocal last night at bedtime and then early this morning she had plenty to say but when invited into bed with us, she settled right down for a nap. She isn't fond of the rain so potty training is going to be fun as the forcast is calling for plenty of it.
I guess that's enough about us for now.I have attempted to include a picture of Cleo…..Brenda

Hi Brenda,
Congrats on your new family addition, Cleo! She is a cutie pie! Looks like my B tri-mix Daisy (15 weeks old now). Very sweet. More pics ???

Brenda,
What a great action shot of your new baby! I am sure that Peppermint will come around.
What a cutie!

Thanks to all for the warm welcome!!!
So night number one was pretty rough, she sure was vocal. She is in her crate for the night now and so far ….so good.
Had a bit of a name change though. We wanted something that suited her and the breed so we are now going to call her Zuri. That is Swahili for 'beautiful' and we think it suits her just nicely. I think the name is a keeper though we did have a few others on our list of acceptables. i will let you all know the final decision later.... for now, another pic of our cutie.Brenda
Here is another pic of her...
