Find a good positive reinforcement puppy class, like clicker training and you will both have fun. All of mine have earned at least a rally novice obedience title and love the training. There are some things that you should not expect of a basenji such as being outside off lead. They are sighthounds and must be on a lead or in a fenced area at all times. The biggest issue with a house with children is that the children must understand the door can never be left open. My inlaws have a terrible habit of wanting to stand in the doorway and talk as people leave. I have to shoo them outside so the dogs do not try to dart outside given the opportunity. We have had ten basenjis since our son was two, he is now 27 and the basenjis raised him.
Any Basenji's in Adelaide, South Australia?

Hi, If anyone is keen to have a basenji meet up in Adelaide sometime soon, maybe in July - express your interest.
It would be great to go to the North Adelaide small dog park as it's enclosed and green with lots of cover. Also, I've spotted two other basenjis there previously, and a B / Jack Russell mix recently.

We got our basenjis here in adelaide from a breeder. We bred our female and kept one of her pups. So we have 3 now. We normally go to dog park at old Glengowrie high school oval which is now an enclosed dog park.

Hi Kenny and Blondie, sorry I never checked back after I posted! Doh.
Is that oval also known as Hazelmere Reserve? It's not close to me, but it's certainly feasible to make the drive if I know you'll be there.
We are soon to have two basenjis, so if you'd like to meet our boys let me know when to catch you.
Which breeder did you get yours from?
-
Yep, that is the one. Drop me a line at: uppers77@ yahoo. Com. Au
I don't check this site very often.
Cheers
Matt and Erica
