Hello Marian,
Welcome. What a happy home it must be.
We are Kees-Jan and Anne-Marie from Marken, north of Amsterdam. Where do you live? Maybe we can walk together some time? Also check http://www.basenji-club.nl/ for basenji walks.
We have two daughters from Abotere Khamau, Lela and Binti (2,5 and 3,5 years old) - our first dogs, and we recognize a lot that you wrote.
People warned us about getting a basenji, but we have not been happier since they took over our house and hearts. Lela came with us as a pup (enought to keep you busy) and Binti joined half a year later - it took her around 1,5 years to really settle.
Here's a picture with their big mama friend Kiko the Akita https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/dNOYjJPSlhUGbZK3LZxvbwxZLf3J_PvRjNp46MdVlt4?feat=directlink
We hope to meet all of you soon.
Hello from Los Angeles, CA

Meet Boots! We adopted him from a rescue when he was about 3 months old. Now he’s 10 months old. He was found out in the desert town of Palmdale, CA with his 3 other brothers. The rescue thought he might be part shar Pei, but we’re pretty sure he’s a basenji mix with jack russell terrier. Maybe corgi or chihuahua too. He definitely has the temperament and characteristics: Loves to play, spotty discipline, super friendly with other dogs and humans, and very fast. He has a very loud bark but uses it sparingly. He’s about 25 lbs now and is pretty stocky.

I would tend to think he is part Basenji, however, the only way to know for sure is to do a DNA test. My opinion is (primarily) based on his chest and the appearance of his fur. Everyone has their insight, so others may feel differently. Please let us know what the DNA outcome is if you decide to do one.
