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.
We are new to the group..

I am Deb, just registered tonight, and I am looking forward to receiving alot of educational information about Basenjis. I think the very best way to learn about any breed is to talk with and listen to the people who share their lives and homes with them on a daily basis. We have owned chihuahuas and pugs for the past 20 years, but have 3 mixed breed rescue family members as well. Raven has been with us since her mistress passed away and Rocky is her son. We think they are mixed with some basenji. She is spayed and he is neutered, Raven is 3 and Rocky is 2. There is only one basenji breeder in the state where we live and I sent her information and pics when Raven first came to live with us. While only a DNA test will conclusively tell us what Raven and Rocky are made up of..lol I still would like to learn about your wonderful basenjis.

hi Deb, welcome! I saw the picture of Rocky - he's a cutie. I thought he looks like a basenji/chi mix?

Gosh, Rocky looks just a dog our neighbors adopted from the Humane Society last year! They were told 'probably' chi-basenji mix. Rocky is very cute, as they all are. Welcome!
