My first B started challenging at 16 months, we neutered him shortly after and it did seem to help a little. However it was only a small part of the solution not the whole solution. The closest thing to a magic solution is the excercise and mental stimulation. Basenjis are one of the most intelligent dogs and need more excercise and stimulation than most. I have generally found males to be much easier to work with and less aggressive than females. Correct discipline, structure, positive reinforcement, patience / stubbornness and enough excercise are the keys. Usually when people have problems with their dogs it is the humans which are the cause, not the dogs.
Just found this place and thought I would say hello

Hi,
I jsut found this forum and it is great. I have looked in the past for something in this format as mail lists and yahoo groups just do not do it for me, plus they seem to all get filled with spam.
My wife and I have 2 basenjis, Lion and Tigger a female and male from the same litter. We are soon to be getting a new puppy, in about 9 weeks.
I will post some pics in the show off forum.
