Welcome and like everyone else, I'm looking forward to seeing pictures. I love this time of year when there are so many puppy pictures popping up!!! I think basenji puppies have to be some of the cutest!
Welcome to the forum, Jessica and lovely Maya !! Beautiful tri-pup. ;)
Awaiting our first B ever, a R/W male, by the end of the week …
Greetings from Belgium
Most people incorrectly use the terms dominant and dominance with regard to dogs. Here is a good blog post by Dr. Sophia Yin on the topic.

Before you get a puppy… go to the Basenji Club of Canada and Basenji Club of America websites and read up on Fanconi and other heritable diseases.
ANY breeder not testing for these disease is NOT someone you should spend your time or money on one of their puppies.
Too bad you didn't look 4-5 months ago... there was a lovely litter of Khani's pups up in Drumheller!
Best of luck to you!
Welcome to the forum. Great story too. I especially like the description of your other dog "Betty the Sheprador Chowtriever ." That's Funny! My basenji/whippet mix also came from a local shelter. She wasn't there long enough, or perhaps they didn't know much about bs, but they only had her listed as whippet mix. Didn't take long for a dog savy friend of mine to mention the word "basenji." No doubt in my mind, she is basenji and something. I picked her out and my mother paid for her. Best Christmas present I ever got!
