A very silly Cara Pose

[Arwen]

Hahaha! Batman does this to Nayru only he's tiny. He will sigh and turn around 3" closer and then closer. She just opens one eye at him.

They make me so happy

I think Cara's markings are super distinctive, especially the black accents at the base of each ear. She's one of a kind!

[DebraDownSouth]

LOL she actually looks like several of the florida group especially 2 of her littler mates. I just adore her.

Hello everyone. This is my first post to the forum. Like Cara, my pup Dakota is one of the Wimauma super-sized rescues. He has floppy ears, is almost 20 inches tall and weighs 35 pounds. Dakota was born February 24, 2010 and is 8 months old. I think he's still growing. :eek: The kids in the neighborhood call him "Snoopy" because he has a really long nose and big long floppy ears. They think it's cool that "Snoopy" has a curly tail. If Dakota's ears stand up they're going to be really disappointed. :)

Welcome to the Forum. Dakota is beautiful! Those floppy ears will probably stay that way since he 8 months already. His coloring is really nice, and kudos to you for adopting one of the Wimauma dogs - they have been able to place lots of them, and everyone is very happy with their "wild" B's. Best of luck to you, owning a basenji is a very unique dog ownership - really not an ownership, more of a partnership with your dog. :D

Welcome to the forum,Dakota is gorgeous.
I look foward to hearing more about him.

[DebraDownSouth]

Well Cara's ears were up most the time last month, this month down a lot. BUT they are getting harder so I still hold out hope they will make it up for good, lol. Nearly all the adults' ears are erect, so not sure what has happened with some of our kids.

Its very interesting to see these results of the Wimauma 'mix-up'. They are lovely and most unusual. I'm so pleased that they have now got such lovely homes.

[WimaumaMom]

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I placed a blog about Dakota and how he came to be a part of our family at

This is wonderful forum. I enjoy reading all the posts!

[DebraDownSouth]

I want the first clear… it's her bug-eyed look, esp if I am about to throw her toy.
No, she isn't at all spoiled... she just liked ME to hold the bone. LOL and the rare both ears up.. and the "dwarf Arwen" pic.

[Arwen]

I don't like having my picture taken either. LOL

[DebraDownSouth]

Poor Arwen:

Cara has always hung her head out of the covers, now she has Arwen doing it:

[Kipawa]

Debra, in my eyes, they are both beautiful! The head out of the covers picture is priceless. I am a total animal lover, and I find that there is often such beauty in animals that are not 'breed perfect'. They somehow make up for it in other, very special ways.

[DebraDownSouth]

TY, I quite adore them. Arwen certainly was looks wise fine to show, but not with her PPM for breeding, so we didn't. Cara is Cara. And I love every hair on her body. :)

[Patty M]

Absolutely love the pictures! :) Thank you for sharing…. they are both endearing. :)

[agilebasenji]

I used to know someone with a large Avongara dog. I used to call him her "industrial strength" basenji. Ya know, for larger hunting and such.

I find many of the colors on the Wimauma basenjis striking. I love that dark red/white one with green eyes. Just striking.
