Great they are finally being recognized. I watched a show a few months back where they were training Basenjis at airports to sniff out drugs and other contraband in baggage compartments. The B's do well because they are small, can step over all the piles of baggage and of course, have such great noses it comes easy to them to be trained for this work!
Training Levels

With so many people bringing home new pups and dogs, I thought I would post this link to the Training Levels book. My obedience instructor uses levels training in her class and the basenjis are doing really well at them. I like that the exercises are well written and something you can do on your own at home. For new puppies and dogs I really recommend reading Come, Crate, Go to Mat, Zen (Leave It), Handling, and Watch.
