    It appears that after 2/12 years I have forgotten all the trouble Ayo was as a puppy. I can't stop thinking about adding a baby girl to our home. !!!!
    Im in no hurry, and I will definitely wait to see if i will really be moving (i don't like my apartment) this year but.. I find myself browsing in all the breeder websites.. I would love a baby black and white girl…
    oh.. oh...

    It's easier the second time around. The little one will be preoccupied with her older playmate. Plus you'll know what to expect.

    Nothing like a puppy! IMO…...... I'm sure that Ayo would love one too!

    hahaha, welcome to the club!
    I had Shango, my older boy, and wanted to add a second. Everyone thought I was crazy until I actually did! I rescued Newsom and now have a beautiful Basenji duo who LOVE each other and play so well. I can't imagine life with just one….it's absolutely a joy to have two and the other posters are right- the second one does seem to be easier because they have us so well trained from the first! :)

    I worry that I may be getting in over my head, I also have Rosie, so that would make three.. I am actually a little concerned that I may not be able to handle three of them comfortably on walks etc… That it may be harder to take them places if there are three of them.... i don't know. But then I think, who cares, I'm sure it is that way for everyone that has several dogs... I think moving from here (my apartment) is definitely one thing that will help me decide. If I do move then it will be an easier decision...

    I have permanent puppy fever but I can't until we move and shouldn't even then. I'll probably adopt an adult chow or rottie. Having lived with a fighting situation and managed it for years, I just don't want to ever do it again, and I don't want a male so I'm pretty stuck.

    It is hard to believe Ayo is so old! Oh my I remember drooling over the puppy pictures!

    So talk to breeders, get on a waiting list with them understanding you are not SURE and not for however long you think it might be before you move. Or maybe even FOSTER another dog, does not have to be a basenji, and see if handling 3 dogs is what you want to do.

    I know.. time flies … already two and a half.......
    You are so right,, i guess the thing is I am envisioning a bit of a change in my living situation, where I may move to a bigger place and also maybe have the possibility of going to the mountains on a regular basis. This may or may not happen, but I guess I will know this year. If that happens then I definitely will want another.

    Ladybasenji, where are you in Quebec? Montreal? We have a place in Gatineau (Aylmer sector) and one of my dogs might even be related to yours. You're experiences with your girl remind me so much of my first basenji, about 20 years ago–it gets easier, I swear! Let me know if you'd like help with Lady--they're nothing like labs and will never be "obedient" but there are tricks for training them : D

    Oh WOW, you guys are sooooo helpful. Thanks DDS for the link, that was especially helpful. I'm just intrigued with this breed for some reason, and I'm not sure why. Reading what all of you have to say is better that the typical things that you read on the computer. They all just repeat the same thing over and over where as all of you can give me personal experiances. I know all puppies are a lot of hard work, but compared to other dog (which I see some of you have had other breeds) are they actually a lot tougher? All pups like to chew and get into trouble but are they especially hard to train. Lets say with housebreaking and such? Oh and for all of you that have cats too, do they stay out of the kitty box or are the prone to make there way there, if you catch what I'm saying. I read they they are very clean and often times will clean themselves like a cat does. Really? And they are aloof like cats? Soooo much info and I would rather hear all of this from you than get false info. HELP!!

    I live in North Carolina, right on the coast and we have hot, hot, humid summers. Sahara loves to sit on the back steps and lay in the sun, but only after I have frozen her with AC, haha! She hates the cold, when I got her it was still cool nights here and I had a time getting her potty trained b/c she just hated the cold weather. I could not find any dog sweaters to fit her, she was only 8 wks. old, the stores were out of them, so I got smart one night and made her one from the arm of one of my husbands hunting thermal underware. She was much happier then once I got it on her, she hated me putting that thing around her neck and legs. I have her sweaters now, got them 75% off this summer. She hates the rain also, but she has on great ocassion gone on her own to potty while it was downpouring, wonders of wonders, most of the time I have to put a leash on her and pull her outside when it is raining, she will go, but not unless I keep saying, "Go Potty, Sahara". She runs like a mad dog back through her doggie door. Can't wait to see what she does if we have snow this winter, should be interesting.
