It’s great that you’re doing your homework on the basenji. I think the reason you read all these “horror stories” is because they are not your typical dog. They are a beautiful and highly intelligent breed with a very strong prey drive. My Kembe is my first basenji but I was familiar with the breed because my brothers were basenji owners. I got her when she was 1years old - she was returned to the breeder by the previous owners. Kembe has never been destructive, she has free reign of our house, and I can leave her at home alone. It’s extremely important to exercise them regularly - especially exercise and stimulate their minds, and establish a routine (I can set my watch to my dog). They are definitely trainable - it scares me to see how smart she is and also well behaved. Basenjis are extremely lovable and hilariously funny. If I have a treat that my dog especially likes - she will do her whole “repertoire of tricks” without me even asking her. She dances to let me know it’s time to eat and will sit right next to me and hit me with her paw when she wants to go for her walk.
I think our basenji chose us - when we went to the breeders home to look at her - She jumped up next to my husband on the couch and curled up! I was sold on her! I really hope you find a basenji that right for you!

I completely agree @Kembe; however, I might have been more exited if they'd mentioned Sabacc instead. No, Sabacc is not a Basenji, but it's a fun Star Wars game that's a bit like Poker, but completely different at the same time. Definitely a brain game. Logan won't play it with me darn it. He just wants to eat the Beskar betting pieces. It's the game Han Solo played against Lando Calrissian to win the Millennium Falcon, which is arguably THE best RV in the universe. My son and I play it. I wonder if I could win a Basenji in a game of Sabacc?

I was born in Japan. I am half Japanese. Surprised I’d be utilizing my Japanese on the Basenji forum. Lol -

My kid and I went to Disneyland a while back and spent near two entire days just at Black Spire Outpost (aka Star Wars Land). We love it so much. That's when we scored a set of Sabacc cards. Didn't know it was a thing either till we saw the decks. We got to play a few hands with some cast members outside Ogga's Cantina, but the real treat was playing it inside the Cantina at one of the tables. We had a bunch of cast members crowded around us egging us on. Apparently there are tournaments and FaceBook groups dedicated to it. Anyway, here ya go...

@Kembe So, that's how you are multi-lingual! How many languages do you know?
@JENGOSMonkey Cool, thank you. Something new for me to do! My Covid list is growing: Learn how to play the guitar, speak Spanish, and play Sabacc!
