Hello Marian,
Welcome. What a happy home it must be.
We are Kees-Jan and Anne-Marie from Marken, north of Amsterdam. Where do you live? Maybe we can walk together some time? Also check http://www.basenji-club.nl/ for basenji walks.
We have two daughters from Abotere Khamau, Lela and Binti (2,5 and 3,5 years old) - our first dogs, and we recognize a lot that you wrote.
People warned us about getting a basenji, but we have not been happier since they took over our house and hearts. Lela came with us as a pup (enought to keep you busy) and Binti joined half a year later - it took her around 1,5 years to really settle.
Here's a picture with their big mama friend Kiko the Akita https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/dNOYjJPSlhUGbZK3LZxvbwxZLf3J_PvRjNp46MdVlt4?feat=directlink
We hope to meet all of you soon.
A quick hello

Has your puppy and/or its parents been tested for Fanconi Syndrome using the DNA test?
I ask because there is a puppy just tested in the OFA database named Zoe who tested Probably Affected.

Welcome to the forum!!!!

Thanks everyone, i'm excited and nervous. I have never bought a dog before all my pets have been abandons I have given a home. I'm a little worried about how my cat will take to her he was raised with a dog but its now been over 11 yrs since he has had to share his people. He is almost 16 yrs old.

Take care to introduce them slowly and don't leave the animals alone when your gone.
That is my advice. -
You can check by going to the OFA website and doing a search on the parents' registered names or their AKC numbers.
-
Keep us posted on your progress…

congrats on the puppy
-
Welcome! How exciting to get a little b!
I like Zoe, it's cute, IMO
-
Thanks all for the welcome!
I have had a week with zoe and that will be her name. The breeder did such a great job with her and she already comes to zoe each time I call, so why change :). She is such a good little girl. My only problem is her begging and my cat. He is fine if she leaves him alone but she just cant, she wants him to play with her. When he hisses and swats at her ( he is declawed) she thinks he is playing. Hoping for harmony soon. -
I hope you have peace in your home soon.
