New here and waiting to recieve our first basenji

[Shyla]

Hi my name is Melissa and my family and I have done so much research on basenjis and this moth decided to purchase a basenji puppy to become part of our family. We have already purchased him and are waiting for him to fly his way to us :) We are all very excited and cant wait for the day he arrives(hopefully soon). I think we are ready for him and hope Im not forgetting anything after all we want the best for our Guru. I look forward to being able to come here and ask all of you pros questions.

Thank You :) I purchase Guru from Devils Peak Basenjis in Salem Oregon. He is 14 weeks old.

So sweet! One of the great attributes about the basenji breed is that they never really lose that angelic face, no matter what they have managed to get themselves into. I think it has to do with their ability to wrinkle their expressive brow. You know they have chewed up a mechanical pencil or found the lint from the dryer when they purposefully seek you out to lick your face. Watch out for that Guru. He is going to be a heart breaker!
Best wishes,

I am very excited for you guys, B's are the greatest dogs, they love to get in trouble and be cute doing it and I wouldn't trade mine for anything.

Welcome to the forum. I think Guru is the cutest baby b I have seen. Ooooo, makes me want to get a second!!

That is great! We are also in the process of getting a B and we joined the forum yesterday. We are adopting an older B from BRAT. I think we all will find great help here! Good luck and look forward to seeing pics of your new baby.
