Daphen was always high energy, but come 9:00, she wanted us to be in bed. She would go to bed, even as a pup, and come back out look at us, sigh, go back to bed, and repeat the steps until we gave up and decided to watch our evening shows in the bedroom. lol.
Of course, when we lived in the city, we'd take her and our other dog at the time to the dog park and spend two hours every day, so she burnt off a ton of energy. I don't know if our lifestyle could accommodate a full blown Basenji, though. lol.
