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.

Gald to meet you and again welcome.
Welcome to Betty and I will be happy to see pictures. You have been at the Basenji a lot longer than us. Any words of wisdom is always welcome. What color is Betty?
My childrens karate teacher was from Russia and his wife. There 1st child born in Russia but second was born here in U.S. Yuriy very cool we would be doing something in class and he would stop and say that must be the american way. He would tell us american way better in lots of ways and not so good in others.
They have German Shepards from Russia and they obey to a T but only if you know how to speak Russian.

Welcome Deidara and Betty! Glad to have you here.

Betty is black white. It is very clever and devoted friend. It feels everything: when i'm sad, when i'm happy, when i'm angry… It always makes me to calm down. So..the best friend is the silence.
That's my dog. -
Betty is beautiful and looks so calm and happy. Your very lucky for such a sweet baby. That is nice that she knows your mood and goes with it that is great. Have you had Betty since she was a baby? Thank you for posting the picture.

Welcome to the forum! Betty is a relly pretty girl and will be a wonderful companion, as we all know. My name is Susan and I have a 9 month old girl named Shaye. She is a red and white. The drawing of the tribesman carrying his dog is a beautiful one.

That was very kind of you to take Betty and love her. I do so hope your girlfriend turned out all right.
