Basenjis are perpetual two year olds. If your attention is on anything that is not them, they feel the need to bring you back to "reality". A Basenji considers himself/herself the center of your universe and expects to be treated accordingly, the exception being when they are getting into mischief and don't want you to know about it. Otherwise your undivided attention is expected, and demanded, especially if it is obvious that something else is foremost in your thoughts. As the nominal owner (otherwise known as "staff") of a Basenji, you are expected to know that! 😉

A treasure trove of great info. Thank you

Very interesting to read the history of the breed. I was surprised to read of the guy who tried to rehome his basenji and no matter where he placed it, it found its way home - we live in fear if ours got out, they'd never come home -

Thank you so much for the link - I hadn't got so much information about the Basenji in the USA.

I'm ashamed to say, Pat, that I hadn't looked much at the BCOA website. As soon as posssible I'll visit there for a more studied look.
