Puppies take a lot of your time, and it really isn't fair to the pup unless you have that time to give. It's not good for any dog to spend too much time alone, especially locked in a crate. It can be disastrous for a pup. If you're home a lot, by all means get that special puppy, but if you spend much of your day away, an older dog might be the way to go. Of the five Basenjis I have owned, two I raised and three I adopted between the ages of eight months and three years. It was far easier to cope with already housebroken dogs and integrate them into our home. And down the road, if you do get a puppy, you will have a companion so the pup doesn't have to be alone.

Hello all! My husband and I are new basenji owners. We got Dane about 2 months ago. He instantly became our joy. About the same time we got Dane our neighbors got a black lab puppy. Dane loved playing with him. Then we noticed that everytime they played together when playtime was over Dane would go into a mini-depression. Sooooooo,,,to make a long story short,,,,,,we added our 7 month old Bella to the family. They are sooooo cute together and we cant imagine our lives without them! We are very excited to be new members of the B-community!!!:)
