Puppies take a lot of your time, and it really isn't fair to the pup unless you have that time to give. It's not good for any dog to spend too much time alone, especially locked in a crate. It can be disastrous for a pup. If you're home a lot, by all means get that special puppy, but if you spend much of your day away, an older dog might be the way to go. Of the five Basenjis I have owned, two I raised and three I adopted between the ages of eight months and three years. It was far easier to cope with already housebroken dogs and integrate them into our home. And down the road, if you do get a puppy, you will have a companion so the pup doesn't have to be alone.

hello, my name is Alan and i live with 2 very awesome basenjis ramses and cleo. i found this forum and just had to sign up. i have had ramses a tri color male since he was 3 months old, and we recently just rescued cleo. she escaped from a puppy mill and has the scars to prove it, but she is coming along great not after 3 weeks home with me. for some reason she loves to cuddle with me but not my girlfriend. lol. ramses is the best thing that ever happened to me, he is like an extension of me. he is the most friendly outgoing dog ever, any person that comes over instantly falls in love with ramses. having them both tested for fanconi soon . hello again and ask away!:rolleyes:

Welcome Alan, girlfriend, Ramses and Cleo. It's great of you to rescue Cleo. I'm sure she's very happy to get the heck outta there. Post some pics as we would love to see them.

Welcome all! As for your Cleo and girlfriend matter, sometimes, rescues associate certain things with bad experiences. Cleo may associate your girlfriend with her caregiver-woman took care of her at the puppy mill, your girlfriend is female.
