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.
Hello from South Africa

Hi all,
My name is Danni and my husband and I are from Cape Town, South Africa.
We have been carefully considering getting a Basenji for about 2 years now, learning all we could about the breed, the history and the antics that they bring into their homes
Throughout our research, we have found that there are no KUSA (Kennel Union of South Africa) registered breeders for Basenji at all, and none that we have found in North, West or East Africa either.
I've joined this forum to ensure that when we do get our puppy next year, that we have a good place to ask advice, share stories and generally have a Basenji mad community to relate too!
