Hello Marian,
Welcome. What a happy home it must be.
We are Kees-Jan and Anne-Marie from Marken, north of Amsterdam. Where do you live? Maybe we can walk together some time? Also check http://www.basenji-club.nl/ for basenji walks.
We have two daughters from Abotere Khamau, Lela and Binti (2,5 and 3,5 years old) - our first dogs, and we recognize a lot that you wrote.
People warned us about getting a basenji, but we have not been happier since they took over our house and hearts. Lela came with us as a pup (enought to keep you busy) and Binti joined half a year later - it took her around 1,5 years to really settle.
Here's a picture with their big mama friend Kiko the Akita https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/dNOYjJPSlhUGbZK3LZxvbwxZLf3J_PvRjNp46MdVlt4?feat=directlink
We hope to meet all of you soon.
Hello, everyone!

Hello! I just found out about this site. Our family's basenji, Aladdin, is 15years old and his health is not good any longer, but growing up with him (I was thirteen when we got him) sure taught me a lot of love for these wild and independent dogs. He's a funny dog and has a great personality; he's suffered a stroke and so he does not do many of the things he used to, but he still can sing to us when he's happy. And that's just the happiest sound in the world, isn't it? I'm in an apartment right now that doesn't allow pets, but when I have my own place I'll certainly get another one - though NOT another puppy.
Anyway, just wanted to say hello!

Hello to you from Belgium-Europe and welcome.
We are just about leaving the house now to go and see our first B puppy ever at one of the 3 B-breeders in Belgium !
Expect to see lots of pictures one of these days on the forum !

Welcome to the pack even if you're inbetween basenjis right now.
