I see your post was back in Jan. so I hope you have your new basenji settled in. I also adopted a beasenji in Jan. She is my second. I adopted a 5 year old to be with my 3 yr. old, who had had 2 litters in the past and was bred for a 3rd one, but didn’t get pregnant. So the breeder, the same breeder our boy came from, decided to let her go to a forever home. I had to wait quite a while for her to be ready and I felt just like you. I couldn’t wait! I kept texting the breeder questions, request for photos, etc. When we picked her up she seemed comfortable with us right from the start. She has been a wonderful addition to our family, a good match for our 3yr. old boy. He’s a toughie but I think he’s met his match with her. He’s so much happier with his own friend. They love to be together. I hope your new pup is adjusting just as well as mine. Have fun. I think they make us laugh every day. Yes, you have to be on your toes with these guys, you have to make them a big part of your life. They can never just be a fixture. They are work but it’s worth it all. 3 years ago I was a newbie but not anymore, and I’m loving this wild ride.
Some of my favorite videos…

Basenji sings to the Braveheart theme.
It's soooooo funny to see this dog. He must really know the song well because he starts out singing softly with the delicate music. And then he literally gets ready to BELT out when the music kicks up. lol… And then just as he began with the music, he ends with the final notes of the song. Might be my favorite video EVER.Okay, not the greatest video, but this reminds me of Miles when we first got him…. his howl was THIS loud!! He sounded like a tornado siren!!
