Thank you. Yes, our breeder is litter box training. Our first Basenji was a mix (Basenji and Retriever), but she had a lot of Basenji ways. She was already housebroken when we got her, so we didn’t have to worry about that task. We will definitely continue the litter box training until he is old enough to be outside and it is warmer.

I always say "they don't bark, but they make lots of other interesting noises"
Yes and some are very very very loud! :eek:

Explain that he has done all the research and you would like to set up the meeting so you can get on their waiting list. Then on Christmas create a great little gift package with basenji stuff in it, I am sure we can all point you to some great things to fill a basket for a perspective owner. Include in it a card with your appointment with the breeder and maybe some pics of their dogs. Then when you bring the pup home you have a well bred pup who is coming home to a household that has been able to prepare for its arrival and is ready to spend time helping it settle in".
I say: What a WONDERFUL and CREATIVE idea! Puts a smile on my face!

Here is another thread about someone looking to get a Basenji that was encouraged to meet them in person…

I would hope that they would read the other threads and take all the suggestions to heart. We all know what it is like to "want it now"…. but getting a puppy of any breed is not one of those things. As they say "All good things come to those who wait".
I hope that she will think twice about just buying a puppy, learn from the experience here and others that have gone through the same process.
