Wouldn't feel bad about the behavior of your basenji. I got mine six years ago and he acts a lot like yours. I kennel trained him and when I have company he goes in the kennel till he settles down. When I let him out I just tell people to be still till he checks them all out then he is fine. A lot of times he acts like he is going to attack me if he doesn't get his way vicious snarls and all, but I have learned it is just that an act . He also acted vicious around other dogs but after introducing them properly he gets along great. We have recently got him a new basenji mixed sister to play with, after the snarls and viciousness he loves her very much. I wouldn't be afraid to rehome your basenji, it at least give someone a chance to see what they can do.
Might be bringing home 2nd B!!

Well we first applied for Meeka, but the coordinator wasnt sure if she was the right fit, so she talked to another coordinator in her area and she had a girl that isn't posted. It's looking like we will get the one thats not posted, but Meeka is still a possibility.. They both sound great so I'm super excited!!

again, congrats, hope all goes well

After I got my 2nd B, I swore I would volunutarily ban myself from looking at the BRAT website, but wound up volunteering for BRAT instead:p I think they have some sort of Basenji hypnotic powers on that site.

Congratulations! I truly believe that two are better than one. I think Bs do much better with a companion. Can't wait to hear how things go.
