Welcome to the group! I think it is a great idea to visit a breeder of Basenjis with your son. I hope he will be OK with a Basenji and his allergies don't act up because you all will have such fun with a Basenji. They are smart and sassy and funny and so loving and loyal. If you don't have your heart set on a puppy since very few are available now, you might register with Basenji Rescue and Transport to see if they have an older dog for you. My Basenjis have all been rescues and while each was different, each was the light of my life.

Welcome, can I ask where you got your b from? Some of us are related by dogs!
Glad you posted to the forum.Hi Sharron,
I got Triton from a breeder in New Mexico. This breeder is apparently big in the dog show community. Any relations? -
Thanks Kipawa,
I'll post some as soon as I figure out this forum structure and how to do it! -
Thanks for the welcome. I'm glad to hear it will get better. Right now he's skittish and scared of just about everything. Definitely more socialization is in order, I look forward to seeing fun playful behavior like I see on some of those youtube vids!

Hi Sharron,
I got Triton from a breeder in New Mexico. This breeder is apparently big in the dog show community. Any relations?Probably - there are several nice breeders in NM. If you let us know your pup's registered name, we'll know who's related to who.
and welcome!
