Welcome to the group! I think it is a great idea to visit a breeder of Basenjis with your son. I hope he will be OK with a Basenji and his allergies don't act up because you all will have such fun with a Basenji. They are smart and sassy and funny and so loving and loyal. If you don't have your heart set on a puppy since very few are available now, you might register with Basenji Rescue and Transport to see if they have an older dog for you. My Basenjis have all been rescues and while each was different, each was the light of my life.
First time Basenji owner!

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...

Oh, how cute! (wait till the 'honeymoon' period is over, you might want to rethink the 2 basenji thing! I have three-I must be insane!)

She is simply precious. Congratulations on your new addition.

Thanks, we are sure enjoying her! What a character she is! Here is another pic of Zuri and my old gal peppermint. Looks like they just might become friends:)

Woah! I can't begin to tell you the noises I hear behind me. The two are going at it . . . because ? ? ? ? They must need each other to remind them that they are dogs. (I think). Zuri is very cute!
