I would never sell a Basenji puppy as a potential Christmas Present ! (and I don't know any responsibile breeders who would either)
Presents often get the wrapping torn off and are then discarded - how about waiting until after the festive season when things have calmed down and you have time to cope with the exigencies of a new puppy ?
Tanza's idea of giving a photo might work but a live puppy under foot on Christmas Day, among all the relatives and parcels - No.
