Puppies take a lot of your time, and it really isn't fair to the pup unless you have that time to give. It's not good for any dog to spend too much time alone, especially locked in a crate. It can be disastrous for a pup. If you're home a lot, by all means get that special puppy, but if you spend much of your day away, an older dog might be the way to go. Of the five Basenjis I have owned, two I raised and three I adopted between the ages of eight months and three years. It was far easier to cope with already housebroken dogs and integrate them into our home. And down the road, if you do get a puppy, you will have a companion so the pup doesn't have to be alone.

Hello everyone
I new here. I am a very proud mama of a 1.5 yr old tricolored basenji girl "kiro". we live in Westminster, just moved from Baltimore.We still haven't meet any other basenjis in our area
I always feel bad that kiro doesn't have a playmate. and i don't have anyone to discuss my baby gurls habits with .So this forum is perfect for us! We are actually looking into adopting another B boy for kiro now that i have a lot more space.

Hi Kiro,
Welcome our neck of the woods. I live just a bit past Emmittsburg in PA so I'm not too far. The Mid-Atlantic Basenji Club meets at the Carroll County Agricultural Center right there in Westminster. Our next meeting is 1 June and there will also be a spring fun match that same day. It starts at 0900. There is a Yahoo group for the club that has info about the event. It's fun and games. It's really neat to see so many basenjis in one place. Hope you can make it. It's a nice club to belong to.
Karen
