Are Basenjis good with children?
While basenjis love to play and usually come with a good nature, you must also ask yourself Is my child good with dogs? Children, like puppies, go through many growth phases and must be taught how to treat animals with respect. Basenjis, like many breeds, are hard pressed to tolerate unfair treatment. All play with dogs and children should always be supervised. Because puppies tend to mouth everything, fast hands and toys waved in a dogs face encourage this behavior. Hence, parental supervision will keep growing puppies and children moving towards positive development.
