Walking is weather dependent. When I lived in North Bay there were days that a walk was simply not possible, due to cold or storms. I had Lady for seven years before I got Tamu for company, and she did fine on her own. She got lots of attention from me, walks when we could, and I taught her a lot of behaviours. She enjoyed the run of the house and seldom got into any trouble beyond ripping up tissues if she could find them. Of course, she had her moments, like when she raced into the living room where we were entertaining guests, and deposited a used tampon for everyone to admire!
Looking for Basenji for family
-
Welcome!
If the initial price of acquiring a dog is a concern, would you be willing to consider a rescue? BRAT has dogs of all ages, including young puppies, and I believe the max adoption fee they ask for young dogs is $375. A pup like this one, for example, might fit your family's needs. If not that dog specifically, you should keep an eye on the other available listings because it's frequently being updated. It doesn't hurt to fill out an application and let them know what you're looking for.

I am absolutely open to BRAT! In fact, I already have an adoption application in. I have put in requests for both Curry or Chili (quite the spice rack of Basenji names!) I haven't heard back yet, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed
-
Welcome. I hope your rescue b does come along soon. We will all share in your joy!
-
We are picking up our new (well, she's 7, but new to us!) Basenji this weekend. I will be sure and post pictures after she's all settled in. Thanks to everyone for all of your help : ) We really excited to bring her into our family!
-
Congratulations! We'll look forward to hearing a report and seeing pictures.
-
Oh yes, once you get settled do send photos to us. Is she a BRAT basenji?
-
Congrats. Hope to see pics.
-
Yay! Looking forward to pictures.

Is this Cherry's Fancy?
-
And coincidentally…BRAT contacted me this evening about my application! But yes, the dog is Cherry's Fancy : )
-
Congratulations!!!
-
Congratulations on the new family member
-
Who is Cherry's Fancy?
-
Her name is Fancy, but comes from a lady named Cherry : )
