Find a good positive reinforcement puppy class, like clicker training and you will both have fun. All of mine have earned at least a rally novice obedience title and love the training. There are some things that you should not expect of a basenji such as being outside off lead. They are sighthounds and must be on a lead or in a fenced area at all times. The biggest issue with a house with children is that the children must understand the door can never be left open. My inlaws have a terrible habit of wanting to stand in the doorway and talk as people leave. I have to shoo them outside so the dogs do not try to dart outside given the opportunity. We have had ten basenjis since our son was two, he is now 27 and the basenjis raised him.
Wichita ks basenji???

Hello, my name is jen and until today I have had two 8 month old basenjis. Our lil girl passed away today but her brother cecil is doing ok. I would love to maybe meet some other basenjis here in wichita to play to help him through the loneliness. Thank you for any interest.

I'm so sorry to hear about your female passing. I can only imagine how heart breaking it is to loose one that young.
-
So sorry to hear about your little girl - hopefully Cecil will find others in your area to play with.

Jen, you have my sympathy, how very sad to lose one so young. Hopefully you can find some other basenjis in the area. though if you have a nice dog park, basenjis will play with anyone else willing to run with them!
-
Thank you all. I feel we are getting real close to finding a new partner for cecil. Wish us good prayers for a great match. I'll update when we find her for sure. Take care!

Sorry for your loss.
Hope you are looking at BRAT dogs as well and hope you find a suitable playmate for Cecil. -
I'm so sorry for your loss, that truly breaks my heart. I have two basenjis, I don't know what I would do without them. They are my world.
Bengy and Tyson are their names. If you would like Cecil to have a play date I wouldn't mind, I think I'd be awesome!
