Another thing I've done with mine, I use the patio door to get to the garage when we go for rides and the side door of the house when we go for walks (the front door is never used for anything). That way my dogs always head in a certain direction when "escaping" out a particular door. Although a trainer told me not to that (she insisted dogs need to be kept guessing), it has so far worked for me. Even when the two escapes happened, it was in the particular direction for that door.

He's cute! We need more pics!
He's really dark brindle, very nice!And: welcome!!
-
He is a very dark brindle which is one of the reasons we picked him.
I took some more pics and he is (in my eyes) beautiful when running in the sun. Nothing is as pretty as a Basenji running, of course none of those pics turned out, but here are a few others of him….
Enjoy, Basenjimamma

Wow, he's really a handsome B!!
-
What a pretty pup. Thanks for the pictures!! and welcome to the forum. I'm partial to the brindles.
I have an older brindle guy who's more of a black over red. Yours looks more like a red over black. I never thought to look here to see if there's a color distinction amongst brindles. I will now.
Again, welcome Otis and family.

Thanks for the warm welcome Snorky998, we are glad to be here.

He looks so joyful! I have a huge soft spot for brindle boys
-
What a sweet face! Congratulations. Love brindles.

Welcome to the forum!

Thank you all so much. Otis is getting more and more used to our other dogs and chickens and he is "blossoming" into a very curious little, or should I say big( at 18.9lbs at 4 months) boy.

Welcome to the pack – what a beautiful boy (but then what basenji isn't beautiful).
The look in his eye makes me think he's going to grow up into a real teaser
