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.

Hi everyone, my name is Luke and my wife and I recently picked up our purebred trindle basenji from a breeder in Riverside, CA. His name is Troy and he is such a cute little rascal who loves to chew on everything at the moment. Looking forward to asking questions and relating with your community in general. Thanks.

Welcome to the forum! Your puppy is very nice.
The tri male in that litter caught my eye early on and looks like he turned out to be breeder's pick. Very nice litter overall. -
