Does anyone know of where in Canada I might find an ex pen? I'm wondering if that might work better than the crate...

I buy a lot of my pet supplies from PetEdge. Here is their page on ex-pens (http://tinyurl.com/cfug2h). An ex-pen without a top is useless as a Basenji will climb right out so I do recommend getting one. Always secure the top on with snap bolts, at least 3 on each side of the pen, as they can pop the top off otherwise. Be aware that some Basenjis will dig the floor in the ex-pen so I usually recommend having a sheet of plywood cut a couple of inches larger than the floor dimensions of the pen. Put a wooden "lip" around the outside of the pen on the plywood. This helps keep the pen from being "scooted" across the floor. Leave the "lip" open in the area your ex-pen door is so you can use the door. No it isn't pretty but setting it up this way is pretty much escape-proof and protects your home from damage.

Good luck!
