    An apartment would not be a problem if you give your B plenty of exercise and nose time. Also, the office would be great, but do realise that dogs need a lot of sleep, not only puppies. Our 2 sisters (7 and 6) sleep all night and most of the day. So your B would need a quiet space in the office to retreat and sleep. Agree with eeeefarm: puppy time is extra intensive, but so much fun. Try to be with your B as much as possible. Enjoy!

    The only reasons I would not crate little bs with big bs is (1) I don't want any fighting so you would have to play that one by ear (2) If the little one potties in the crate accidentally the big b has to suffer too. But I only have 1 so thats all I could think of

    @Vegas: I don't think electric collars are cruel. I've worn one. I've shocked the crap out of myself. I've even taken some jolts with a cattle prod. There is only the "shock", no after pain. That being said, I would never use an electric fence for a basenji. Their prey drive is much stronger than their fear of being shocked. Negative punishment does not work very often with basenjis. It's about brains, not brawn when it comes to training them. Vegas Well I disagree with your comment about not being cruel… to a point... but I agree that negative punishment is not the best way to train a Basenji.... In regards to a regular electric fence, not the IF type, they do come in useful especially for fence climbers... or diggers for that matter.... and I know in one case the neighbors young male dog kept "eating" through the wooden fence to get to the Basenjis on the other side, especially when the bitch was in season... and electric fence (hot wire)... was a god sent

    I too have flown with a pup in a Sherpa… one thing, be sure that they have a not been fed right before... and also the longer you can keep the pup awake, the more likely they will sleep the entire time. I kept the pup up and playing for at least 3 hours before the flight... and I do mean playing hard.. (I was pretty tired too...)I also did a 5+ hour flight, no accidents. But a friend of mine had a great idea... and it does work, take along some puppy wee/wee pads... you can go into the bathroom, put down the pad on the floor and let the little one go... however with as short of a flight you are doing, I doubt it will be necessary....
