I am new to forums and the way they work lol but i will get better in time.

I have uploaded a few pictures of Bells I hope you can see them she is a very small basenji she is 17 pounds and is full grown.

I agree this breed you can not leave in the crate at all times. They will make things harded on you they are very stubborn and do not forget! I am also new ti basenji breed i have had mine for a year she is great but we did a lot of head butting in t beginning. She now understands that I AM the leader. She is crated only when we are not home and I reward her with a long walk when she does get out. I do only crate her for a 4 to 5 hours a day but she can do up to 12 if needed in an emergency. You need to make sure that she respects you and not treats you as her toy. Also do you socialize your pup? Most Pet supply store or training centers offer a doggie social either free or for a fee of 10 dollars if you are crating your dog for 8-10 hours maybe you should consider doggie day care its about 40 bucks a week ( that is in CT
