Crate for sleeping at night should always be in the bedroom with their people. Should be close to the bed. I use wire crates and typically have more than one Basenji so the crates are all next to each other, but still in the room we sleep in. If an only Basenji should be next to your bed that that your pup knows where you are and you can dangle your fingers in the crate to assure them you are there. And cover the crate to make it more den like. Agree with a "crate buddy" stuffed big toy... and this crate buddy should only be used in the crate at night. I have never had any of my Basenjis sleep in any other room other then the one I sleep in. I also agree that in a car any dog should be confined in a crate, period.
No more puppies in pet stores!

I found this article in our newspaper this morning. One of our suburbs is working hard to ban the selling of puppies in pet stores. I'm on board for this - it could mean a reduction in back yard breeders. Here is the story:

Oh, good for them! Hope it goes through.
