Yeah, I think a retired, already trained basenji will be a perfect first dog :)

Thank you all so much! I will wait, although impatient, to get one. Perhaps I'll just wait until the next breeding season when I've got everything settled in my own life.

And I meant I work 4 or 5 hours a night, not 45hrs a week! lol

If I can't meet the puppy how will I know if he's perfect for me?

He can be a mix as long as he will stay under 25 lbs, apartment rules and what not.

Hi, I'm looking to own my first Besenji!

I've done some research and think that they are the perfect fit for me! I'm looking for a breeder near San Antonio, TX that I can visit and meet the pups instead of simply trusting online posts and email addresses! I want a male but color doesn't much matter to me, but I'd be completely enamored with a black and white one or brindle colored!

I am currently a waitress full time so I'm at work maybe 4/5 hours a night but I also am currently living at home where we have a older dog, cat and my parents. My mom is home most of the time so He won't be alone for long periods when I'm at work. I do plan on moving out at the end of summer though, so would it be smarter to get him now or should I wait until I have my own place entirely?

Your help is greatly appreciated! :D
