@Mikecherves:

I just bought a basenji yesterday, she's 13 weeks old. I was planning on buying a male and naming him Dexter. Since I got a girl I was gunna name her Dexy. When I got her, I couldn't help but notice she looks exactly like a little bandit. Not only that, but as soon as we brought her home, she acted like one too. Sneaking around the house and causing mischief. I want to name her bandit so bad because it's perfect for her, but I feel like bandit is too masculine. What do you think, I will upload pictures as soon as I get home.

I think Bandit would be adorable, even for a girl!!! Now and days almost any name is a unisex name. Go for it!!!

I got my first Basenji a little over 2 years ago. My husband was the one that originally fell in love with the breed and while I have to admit, her puppy years were EXTREMELY rough, I to am in love with the breed. Our little girl's name is Tegan and she does have her onery moments, but over all she is AMAZING. She is one of the most loyal, loving animals I have ever had. When she was a puppy, like I said things were rough and she definitely raised a lot of hell. It got to the point where we considered getting rid of her. I am so glad we didn't. So to all you puppy owner's that are struggling, hang in there, there is light at the end of the tunnel!

I am looking for some local Basenji owners to set up a play date with mine. She is a female and almost 2 now. I live in Orlando, but am willing to drive. I am also looking for some one in Florida that own's a male Basenji, as our little girl is getting ready for her annual heat…. I would looooove to have little Basenji puppies.
