Hi All,

I do not currently own a Basenji.

My wife and I just lost our 15-year-old miniature Dachshund over this weekend to liver failure. (This dog has always been a perfect buddy for the full length of our marriage. It has been very painful for us both to let our dog go).

However we both have always been interested over the years in introducing a Basenji - as a life long companion - into our small family.

I personally was raised in Zimbabwe and have always been curious in this dog breed, as it was the most popular local dog seen constantly trotting around in the surrounding small African villages.

Is there any advise out there about adopting a Basenji in my neck of the woods (Albuquerque) and ensuring it is healthy?

Cheers Bkdemos
