    Welcome to the forum, it is a great place to share Basenji information and make new friends! Since you are Italian, you know the meaning of my Basenji girl's name… Bella Bambino Biamondi (she is a girl... my Italian is limited to a few words and I found out later it should have been Bambina). The Biamondi is similar to my great-granparents last name whe they came to America from Italy! :D :D :D :D I dream of someday traveling to Italy!!! Hopefully my dream will come true...

    well English speaking you have less problems with gender!!! Anyway, Bella Bambino is a real good name!
    this reminds me there was a mare (I think at the beginning of the XIX cent., in England), a pure bred, called Signorina (=miss) who never won a race, and her owner had no money to find a famous stallion for her, but she fell in love at first sight with a stalion, not a real winner… Signorinetta (little signorina) arrived eleven months later and she became a very super star and won lots of races!!! that's the power of love!

    Sorry, I like this true story so much I wanted to tell you! :)

    Welcome aboard, but do share his registered name ? Who are Dad and Mom and what was his date of birth so we can be sure to add him to the Basenji pedigree on-line database (with a photo ???) for the world to share him. http://www.pedigrees.zandebasenjis.com/

    @msjames, @tanza did you a solid favor outlining expectations. Networking really is key to finding a "reputable" breeder. Most show their dogs and are connected to other breeders through showing. They all seem to know who is planning a litter and who isn't. I completely agree with Pat that you should meet your breeder in person prior to the puppies even being born. You can learn a lot. Is a Basenji right for you? If you want a dog to hang with you in the driveway with the garage door open as you chat with neighbors, or stand calmly with the front door open as you receive a UPS package... ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! Basenjis will bolt. they'll be gone in a second. They see it. They chase it. And if you think you have them trained... no. They've trained you. When they see it they will chase it. Basenjis, in my experience, need exercise. Mine get two walks a day. When they don't, they can be destructive. They're not shy about expressing frustration or displeasure through chewing up your best stuff. A big secure yard can mitigate this, but that's not a guarantee. They love seeing outside, so keep your blinds and drapes open otherwise they may open them themselves even if that requires chewing through them. They will climb onto windowsills, tables and low counter tops. They are capable of scaling a six-foot fence. They are known to climb trees. These are extreme examples, but better to know now. They are super affectionate. They can be trained... to a point. They are clowns and provide endless entertainment. A Basenji baroo is the best sound ever! They love to snuggle and will sleep on your bed and under the spreads and sheets if you let them. They love to share body heat. Tail twitches when I return home are the best!

    @basenjilovers - She is very cute, please make sure that DNA testing was done for Fanconi and PRA. And if not or you are not sure, you can get the test kits at www.ofa.org. You do the test as it is a cheek swab.

    @tanza said in Future Basenji Owner in Italy: I would suggest as a breeder that you go for a male pup in your situation I'd always recommend a new-comer to the breed to have a boy.

    @Kalima62: For BellaBasenji….Bambina is more to say child...whilst, for Baby, we might say Bimba, that makes you understand you are refering to a very small child, just as a baby. And as you know ,the final "A" is for a girl, and "O" is for a boy.:D Ciao a Tutti:) Ahhhhh yes, bambino/bambina is such an appropriate name for a Basenji…. which is eternally "child-like" in nature!!!;)
