Welcome to the forum, you will find it so useful if you are considering a Basenji. I read lots about them in books but they didn't prepare me for the reality.
When i got mine i was a little shell shocked, lol, but fell in love with him and the breed.
We are hoping to add another one to our family soon. -

Welcome! Adopting a rescue from BRAT (Basenji Rescue and Transport) is a good option. I just adopted a young tri a month ago.

Got our first one back in March 2009. Jaycee is lots of fun and we love her lots but every day is a new day with something new. The one thing I will say I would go to training class not just for them put you to. Have fun looking and let us know. Good luck.

Welcome! I live in Atlanta also and one my best friends lives here too. She's a forum member too but without internet access right now.
We both have 2 basenjis.I don't know if you have spent any time around basenjis, but if you're interested Carrie and I and all four of our basenjis will be at a lure coursing practice on Sunday morning in Alpharetta. You're welcome to come meet our dogs and watch them run. I know that when I was looking for a basenji the most informative experience I had was just to be around them. There will also be Salukis there and possibly a Ridgeback.
Carrie, Liz and I went lure coursing in KY last weekend and this is a picture of our basenjis:
Riley and the Brindle Babes, left to right:
Lola, 1.5 yrs
Callie, 1.5 yrs
Riley 1.5 yrs
Zip 5.5 yrsThe girls on the left are Carrie's and the tri boy and older girl are mine.

Welcome aboard, you will certainly love this wealth of knowledge available at your fingertips. I am new to this forum as well, and to owning B's. My Otis is almost 6 months old, and I have had him in my life for the past 2 mo.
Good luck in finding a true friend for life.. -
