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.

What a beautiful basenji!
I'm Andrew here, and I've got Shango a two year old R/W basenji male. We're looking to add a friend and are considering a tri-color girl like Elsie!
Welcome!

What a cutie. Oh and I do love Goldens also. My parents bred goldens for many years, and had a pair of Bs for part of that time. It was always so fun to see the Bs and Golens run together.

I brought Elsie home the moment she was old enough to leave her mother. She was too cute.:) I can't believe that she is three now. Where does the time go?
