Welcome to the Forum. It sounds as though this 'protectiveness' has been going on a long time. I agree that probably it would be best to get help from a behaviorist but make sure that they have experience of Basenjis. In the meantime keep him away from your guests. It's possible that he's stirred up by the excitement so it's best to try to keep him calm when people are around.

Thanks for stopping by and sharing your story and those cute, cute pics! It seems that for most folks, Basenjis are like potato chips, once you get started, you just can't stop. If I had room, I'd have a whole herd by now, lol!
Welcome, and we look forward to hearing more about Isis, Kiya, and Rommel!

Adorable tri's!
How do they all get along?

Absolutely precious pictures. What lucky Basenjis to have found you.
-
Yes they do play well together. We have the Basenji-500 that turns into the Basenji Smackdown everyday when we get home from work. The only time I need to split the girls up is around 9:00 PM when they start getting snarky but thats about the time they go bed anyway.

I love how straight they keep their legs when sleeping! Beautiful dogs.

BUT…Bring sharing the bed into the equation and I find the the twirl and plop into a ball to be highly preferable. There's nothing like being woken up by four B paws pushing into your back, haha. And before you know it a mere 22 lb B has you on the edge of the bed...

Lucky basenjis, your foundling and his two 'sisters' are all beautiful. Glad you all found each other!
