To give you an idea of the contrast between Basenjis and Border Collies, my BC once spit out a pill, I said "Blackie" in a disapproving tone, and he picked it up from the floor and swallowed it!

I've tagged this pamphlet before so you may wish to search the forum for the link which may still work.

It's full of facts and studies and Liz McCargo uses it as her reference.
There's a free read-only version if you'd search: PUPPY CULTURE SPAY/NEUTER BOOKLET.
Title page attached, if allowed.

@adina Thanks so much for this. The breeders we are looking at seem to have all those boxes checked and we found them through AKC. We are hoping this is surely a trusted source...
Alas, AKC lists breeders who have paid to be listed. There is NO vetting. Please apply due diligence in choosing your breeder.
You should spend almost as much time researching the breeder (and the sire and dam) as you have the breed of dog. The breeder can let you know much of the pup's temperament and potential character.
Good luck.
