Welcome to the group! I think it is a great idea to visit a breeder of Basenjis with your son. I hope he will be OK with a Basenji and his allergies don't act up because you all will have such fun with a Basenji. They are smart and sassy and funny and so loving and loyal. If you don't have your heart set on a puppy since very few are available now, you might register with Basenji Rescue and Transport to see if they have an older dog for you. My Basenjis have all been rescues and while each was different, each was the light of my life.

Welcome to you and your prospective Basenji.

Before you get a puppy… go to the Basenji Club of Canada and Basenji Club of America websites and read up on Fanconi and other heritable diseases.
ANY breeder not testing for these disease is NOT someone you should spend your time or money on one of their puppies.
Too bad you didn't look 4-5 months ago... there was a lovely litter of Khani's pups up in Drumheller!
Best of luck to you!
