Re: Considering a Basenji (Raleigh)

We went and took a look at the Basenji's. Spent some time with the breeder and playing with the adult dogs. Several trips and a million questions later we put a deposit down on one yesterday. So excited we get our little guy in January. Cannot wait. Now to decide on a name...

@senjisilly Thank you! That's a great idea I didn't think of.

@Izzy-Bella You made me laugh! Your dog sounds great-minus the poor rug ;)

That's a really good site, and one I've used often. Unfortunately, the breeders in our state haven't responded but I will try again with the approach you recommended vs. the general informational one that I was using. Great idea - Thank you!

I'm new here, and my fiance and I are looking into getting a Basenji puppy sometime this year or early next. I've never met a Basenji and we would love to get together with someone who does have one in, or around, the Raleigh-Durham, NC area. We've done a ton of research and feel confident in our decision, but wouldn't mind a little puppy play time to seal the deal. Also, any advice that you have as we are looking would be greatly appreciated. Especially around breeders as my previous dogs have only been rescues so that part is new to me. Thank you in advance!
