Humane is a double edged sword IMO. Yes, they do help dogs, but there are problems with the agency as well. There are many breeds that would now be extinct except for breeders who had the dedication to keep the breed alive. Basenji's would never be known in the world except for dedication of someone who decided to take them from Africa. The Chinook was saved from extinction in 1981 with 11 breedable dogs! So breeders have their place, and definitely the humane has it's place. I don't discount them, there are just two sides to the story. Of course this is MO only!

Shango is the best dog I've ever had in my life! He's so well-behaved but still has the famous basenji traits! He's so funny and keeps me happy. He is like a little brother or a son. He's always curious and sleeps with me in my bed, we keep each other warm at night! I've only heard him yodel once, though! It was so cute I want to hear it again, he just won't do it.
He also loves to play and we go to the dog park a few time a week. He also loves to play with stuffed animals his favorite are his little furry stuffed animal of a sheep and a fluffy stuffed tiger. They are starting to shred, but it's like he knows because he'll only play with them a bit a day- he's trying to preserve them!
Shango is awesome and is a really great companion to have. He made me LOVE basenjis. I'm looking for a friend for him though, we play all the time, but he loves other dogs and I think he'd love a friend!
Here's a picture of him with a stuffed animal basenji we got from the petstore. It was so funny, he thought it was a real dog! He sniffed it and tried to play! (sorry for the quality, it was taken on my cell!) It was adorable!
