It’s great that you’re doing your homework on the basenji. I think the reason you read all these “horror stories” is because they are not your typical dog. They are a beautiful and highly intelligent breed with a very strong prey drive. My Kembe is my first basenji but I was familiar with the breed because my brothers were basenji owners. I got her when she was 1years old - she was returned to the breeder by the previous owners. Kembe has never been destructive, she has free reign of our house, and I can leave her at home alone. It’s extremely important to exercise them regularly - especially exercise and stimulate their minds, and establish a routine (I can set my watch to my dog). They are definitely trainable - it scares me to see how smart she is and also well behaved. Basenjis are extremely lovable and hilariously funny. If I have a treat that my dog especially likes - she will do her whole “repertoire of tricks” without me even asking her. She dances to let me know it’s time to eat and will sit right next to me and hit me with her paw when she wants to go for her walk.
I think our basenji chose us - when we went to the breeders home to look at her - She jumped up next to my husband on the couch and curled up! I was sold on her! I really hope you find a basenji that right for you!

Your pup looks a lot like my first basenji - it brings back memories.

She looks very handsome…...
I like her! -
she's very cute. my first basenji had a lab.
-
What a lovely girl. In my experience Basenjis get on with giant dogs and vice versa so I hope she soon merets your Great Dane.
-
Imba already met Great Dane, it was quite good to see that. The big one thinks that basenji is some kind of dog toy, but plays with it very carefully. I have no photos of that meeting because girls are run everywhere in the house very fast. All photos that i get is too bad.
