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.

Your two dogs are pretty. I like how your basenji looks like she thinks she is actually hiding behind the potted plant.
( I had the pleasure of visiting Slovenia with a friend and her family when I was in high school and Slovenia was still part of Yugoslavia. My friend's mother was from Gorizia, Italy and many of her relatives lived in Slovenia. I can't say for sure where we visited - the town was a small town near Ljubljana. (We actually stayed in Gorizia) She taught me a couple Slovenian phrases but they weren't very nice and I couldn't spell them if I tried!
)Welcome
