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.
New Basenji Owner!

My wife and I got our first basenji last weekend. Her name is Nexa and she is 16 weeks old (pics are posted in show off your dog). We experienced our first b-500 last night! She went a million miles an hour, grabbing a new toy each lap. At one point she grabbed "bobo" from the Petsmart commercial, but she carried it by the end and kept stepping on it and flipping over - she could have won tumbling in the doggie olympics. We are very excited to be new Basenji owners:D

Where did Nexa come from? She is a very pretty girl

We got her from HiCotn Basenjis in Ohio.

Very cute little girl. Her eyes look a lot like our Bonnie (a Select). Do you know Nexa's parents names?

Congratulations on Nexa…. she is too cute... If she came from CarolAnn, I am guessing she is a full Avongara?
