Welcome to the group! I think it is a great idea to visit a breeder of Basenjis with your son. I hope he will be OK with a Basenji and his allergies don't act up because you all will have such fun with a Basenji. They are smart and sassy and funny and so loving and loyal. If you don't have your heart set on a puppy since very few are available now, you might register with Basenji Rescue and Transport to see if they have an older dog for you. My Basenjis have all been rescues and while each was different, each was the light of my life.

Welcome to the forum! You have lovely dogs!

Welcome! Hope you can tell us a little more about your 'kids'. They certainly are a cute couple and look, shall I say it(?), so well behaved.
How did they pick you as their family:)?

Thank you for the compliments to my dogs. There is not much that I can share about them, as they have only been in our home about three months, although my wife & I agree that it seems like they've been here all their lives. We were blessed to become aquainted with Simone Gaudet - www.beaubri.com - who gave us the lead. The dogs names are Nathaniel (6 in Jan. 09)pedigree at http://www.beaubri.com/Nate.html & Callie (5 in Nov. 08)pedigree at http://www.terrarust.com/pedigree-callie.html. They are, for the most part, very well behaved, & have adjusted extremely well to our home. Callie is like a bossy sister to Nate, & lets him know when she is unhappy with his presence. She is also very protective of her new home & I have to work with her to curb some agression issues with some visitors.
Aside from that, we are enjoying them very much.
I would enjoy hearing about your B(s) also.

Your dogs are beautiful and welcome to the forum. I enjoyed the pictures and they seem to get along well. Were they together before you got them?

They've been together for the better part of 3 years. When we heard about them being up for placement, we thought no sense splitting them up, so we adopted them both. no regrets.

GHow wonderful of you to take in 2 older dogs. Thank you for sharing your story and the pictures (I LOVE the coats with booties picture!!) My female is also the bossy sister. The more I read about the breed, the more I think this is typical for the females.
If you care to read a little about how I got my 'kids' you can read it here…

The truncated version would be…Ty and Kate are our beloved family pets, although they are treated in my home as family members. They are loved unconditionally (although when they were younger, some days seemed more like a love/hate relationship:D)Again, welcome!! Dawn
