I think they just look solid so my mind saw "bigger." I have one of the Wimaumau rescue giants (44 pounds), but even my 2 previous gals were far from petite... about 26 to 28 pounds. My dream of a petite 18 pound basenji just never happened, lol.

Oh my.. Look at those little miracles… Beautiful.. Thanks for sharing these pictures

nice pix, they are some cuties

Glad you found us..do you show your b's?

Welcome Rodrigo..nice to have you onboard. Your pups are very pretty, your puppies are darling…

Thanks for the compliments. The best part is that they are both very good dogs; great around people.
I do not show my Basenjis. The male, particularly, is too curious and independent, so I am sure he would not be very cooperative if I were to walk him in a place surrounded by people and other dogs. I do jog with them and everyone stares at them, haha.

thats a cool story, my fiance and I have a similar one. we got interested in the breed because my father is a dog trainer and had a book of all the dog breeds. my girlfriend one day picked up the book and started reading about the different breeds, her family never had a dog and it was going to take a lot of convincing for her to get one. she noticed the basenji breed and it was perfect because she is allergic to dogs. we then researched the breed for the next year and it took just as long to convince her parents to get one. finally we talked them into it. now we live on our own and have a 9 yr old basenji and a 3 yr old as well. we have a black tri and a red/white. when we eventually get a house we really want to add the brindle to the mix. thx for sharing your story and this is a great site for advice. rodrigo i would like to direct u to this inspiring thread about how the basenji community can help u in times of need. take care man.

Thanks for sharing the thread. What a story. There was even an incident with a cop.
I can imagine how hard it was to convince your fiance's parents about getting a Basenji. When you read about them, several aspects of their personality seem frightening. Once you own them you realize that such aspects are what make them so unique and lovable.
Good idea about getting a brindle. That was my first pick when I saw the different colors.
Take care too.
Regards,
Rodrigo
