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.

Hey, my name is Brad and my girlfriend and I bought 2 Basenjis to celebrate our 5 yr anniversary.
So much of what I've read here has helped.
These dogs are so active, mischievous, and smart! I love it!
They keep us on our toes and bring laughter to both of our families!They've learned their names, sit, stay, and go potty. We've only had them for 5 days lol.
They hop the baby gate we bought already too!

You all are gonna have fun with that one. He/she looks to be just a puppyand it had no problem going over that gate. Our Mr Baroo had only been with us for 3 days before he learned how to open the back door to go in and out of the back yard, proving that they are too smart for their own good. We wish you luck with them and years of enjoyment.

Welcome, how old are your pups? Care to share who you got your pups from? Many of us are related by our Basenjis. My only suggestion with two pups at one time is that you need to put extra care into making sure they bond with you and not just with each other

If you are near St. Louis, we have a very active basenji club that does bi-monthly walks with our pups.

How are your two Basenjis doing? How old are they?

Looks like you will have your hands full! The video made me chuckle, especially how quickly it happened and how the pup looked excited to make it to the sofa!
