Adorable face - probably a devil in hiding :p
If the biting is clearly play biting a firm NO should work (and see previous comments). If more serious then try bitter apple spray. You definitely want to stop this type before it gets out of hand.
Mine (3 yrs old) occasionally will bite (gently and really just a mouthing) when trying to get my attention to play. But you can tell from her expression that she knows she did something unacceptable.
Consistent training is the most important thing you could do.

I'm so glad that you and Anne found each other. Between the unconditional love that a dog offers and the funny antics that they provide, it is difficult to get too deep into a depression with one around. Also…gives you a give reason to get up. Looking forward to hearing Anne stories.

Welcome to the forum, nice to give a pup a new and nice home!

Hi Wes, welcome to the forum, Ann certainly sounds like a basenji, they certainly are a challenge!
-
We welcome you and Anne to the forum.

Wes and Anne, welcome onboard. We are glad you found us. That is a really neat story of how Anne got here to the states. Not many people can say they have a dog from Taiwan. I am very glad you found her and I know she will make you happy.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! Looking forward to getting to know you all and learning from you.

Welcome to our pack! Since dogs are new to you, feel free to ask questions (no such thing as a stupid question when it comes to basenjis). There is a tremendous amount of information, experiences, and funny stories here.

Welcome Wes and Anne, i'm sure you will love this forum.
You are right Basenjis are certainly a challenge but definately worth it. Perhaps the other bit of her will make her a bit easier to train?
