Welcome and congrats on your new addition! I'm no expert, but I would re-think neutering early. I would wait until the growth plates fully close and then neuter him. And I would not say that the breed is susceptible to attacking, though Basenjis can be reserved and cautious with strangers. Most are confident, loving dogs, when socialized. It's always good to keep an eye out for problems, however, and address any aggressive behaviors before they have a chance to escalate. Good luck with him!

Hi Everyone,
My name is Jane and I am new to this forum. I live in Wellington, New Zealand and have a little basenji girl (7 years old) named Jala. My parents also own two basenjis so I guess it runs in the family.
I have attached two piccies of her, hopefully they will work.

Thanks for the welcome everyone. No Jala doesn't like water :rolleyes: very typical basenji! We take her to a dog park that happens to be next to a river and all the other dogs get right into the water of course and she will stop knee deep.
I will post some piccies of her playing in the dog park in the piccie section. -
At least she'll get her feet wet!! Welcome!

Welcome…I spent about 3 months in New Zealand in 1995 (came when NZ won the America's Cup). Your pictures are beautiful and brought back a lot of memories. A perfect place for a basenji
