Oh, and to 'wizard'. Yes, we have talked about it and they support it completely. And I mean seriously talked about it. And, yes, I am ready fro the responsibility of a dog.

Alright, people, alright! Please, please, give me a break. It's not my fault that my mom wants it to be an outside dog! She thinks that if it's an inside dog it will chew everything, that's it! So I'm sorry if this thread "disturbs" you or it's considered "inhumane". I personally don't believe that dogs should live outside, but I'm only 13! My parents don't listen to me.

Now, I know that everyone here loves Basenjis, but some of the comments here are just mean. Okay, not mean, but as if like "What the heck are you thinking? Are you out of your mind?" I don't want my dog to live outside, okay? Don't get mad at me.

This may seem like an "it's not my fault comment" but it's not. I just wanted the pros and cons of having a dog inside or outside. I'm sorry…

@phoenix3:

IMO No dog should live outside however ur talking about a Basenji IMO U can't have a Basenji live outside there not a dog that is going to do well with that . They need to be near there family !! I can gaurenteee that if u get a Basenji and have him/her living outside u will have ALOT of issues with him Please Don't get a dog if u need him to live outside!!

Okay, Okay, jeez sorry! Not my fault; my parents'! I do want it to live inside, but…you know....parents are just like that (At least with me). I was just saying because my mom's friend has a basenji that lives outside and is all happy playful and overall a good dog. So whatever I say she'll be all like "Well so-and-so has a basenji that lives outside and it's perfectly fine blah blah blah." But thanks anyways for the comment. The more people that reply to the thread and say 'No, have it live inside.' the better argument I have for it living inside. So, people, reply! REPLY!

Hi!!!
Okay, so here's the deal. I'll be getting a basenji puppy in a few months. I want a boy and I will name him Charlie. Yay!!! BUT it may have to live outside. Sooo what are the pros and cons for a basenji living outside? Should I try to convince my parents to let him live inside? Is inside or outside better? Help!
