    Hello, I just got a basenji a couple days ago and thought it would be neat to look around on here and see how everyone else is doing! Mine is actually a basenji mix - mostly basenji with a border collie grandparent I believe. He is 7 months old as of yesterday and his name is Tyson. He is currently my only dog….hopefully not for long!

    Welcome to the forum. Would love to see pictures of you new family member. Being that he has a border collie in his line does he bark?

    sure, i'll attach some when I get home. I heard him bark ONCE and after he did it he gave the weirdest look like he didn't know what just came out of him. Other than that he's fairly silent, he whines when i don't want to play fetch constantly…and today I heard his first "baroo" when I was leaving for work. He also made a really strange noise which some other people say is "talking" - don't know how to describe it.

    Looks like you will have your hands full! The video made me chuckle, especially how quickly it happened and how the pup looked excited to make it to the sofa!

    A gentle obedience class will help you bond and learn to communicate. Glad he is going home with someone who will make him a good companion.

    Adorable face - probably a devil in hiding :p If the biting is clearly play biting a firm NO should work (and see previous comments). If more serious then try bitter apple spray. You definitely want to stop this type before it gets out of hand. Mine (3 yrs old) occasionally will bite (gently and really just a mouthing) when trying to get my attention to play. But you can tell from her expression that she knows she did something unacceptable. Consistent training is the most important thing you could do.
