I think that a basenji puppy and a two-year-old is a recipe for disaster for many reasons. Both require and crave lots of attention, neither one can be reasoned with, both will want to play with the same toy, both can be stubborn, and the list goes. It is far too much to expect a two-year-old to understand how to get along with any puppy, especially a basenji puppy. If your heart is set on a basenji puppy, then I think you should wait until your child is at least five or six years old.Children that age understand what you are saying about the puppy and you can explain to them why you are saying it. I agree with the person who suggested getting an older basenji or how about a puppy of another breed? t one time in my life I had a basenji and a mixed breed, and they got along beautifully.
You may love all the traits of this breed but I was suggest that you talk to owners and their experiences with the basenjis and young children. One cannot count on even the best breeders to give you the full story. Please don't get me wrong. I've had three basenjis and adored them all. I got the first one when my youngest daughter was seven. You don't have to wait that long but two years old is too young, imho. Good luck.

We live in California. She is a beautiful, sweet, red and white dear companion. Very loving. My daughter's career has picked up and she is heart broken that she has less time to spend with her. I believe she will be two this December. She comes from champion lines. If interested, please contact us.

Have you been in contact with your dog's breeder yet? They may be able to assist you with the re-homing process.

Is she still available?

Have you contacted her breeder? all my dogs have in the contract that they must be returned to the breeder before being offered for rehoming.
