    Well Sayblee was 28 pounds when she finished her championship. She got down to 22 to 23 when she refused to eat and her ribs stood out (when we finally put her on cyproheptadine). We kept her closer to 26 pounds most her life as long as she was eating. No fat I assure you. I really fantasize about having a nice 18 pound Basenji.

    Welcome, Maria and Jazzmin!

    We'd love to see the pictures… are the ones you are trying to upload too big? If you reduce them to a smaller size, they may upload.

    My favorite basenji trait is their insistence on burrowing under covers, especially lately when it's been "cold" here in sunny Florida! My Lola is also a Sun Slave, and will find a sliver of sun to sleep in... when it moves, she will wake up, move 10 inches, and go right back to sleep! :)

    Welcome!

    I am mixed between my son and this dog. Yes, she also burrows under the covers whenever she finds a person on the couch or me when I am doing my knitting. I have yet to figure out the size to send. I scanned the pictures and they came out way too big.

    I am positive that the dog has a lot of doberman that mixed with this basenji. She has all the traits of the basenji and little of the dob. She has no fat at all on her. She does have a doberman nose. Her profile show a long nose and its very basenji. Her failing points are her ears, the barking and the long tail.

    Maria, make them about 3 x 4 with max 100 pixels per inch. that should make them plenty small enough. OR load onto photobucket, which is free! and you can post any size here cause you can use thumbnails.

    Hi Deb,

    I have both of my pictures and now it seems that the scanner won't work. I have Windows 7 and I can print pictures all day…........The scanner was working with XP windows and it takes took much time to load these pictures.

    @maria:

    Go to your printer's website and see if there are any updates that will allow the scanner to work on Windows 7.

    I had the same problem when I went from XP to 7…the printer part worked just fine, but I couldn't scan. Unfortunately, my printer didn't have any updates available, so I had to get a new printer. Fortunately, printers are nearly a dime a dozen now, so a brand new printer/scanner/copier won't set you back too much dough.

    Your best bet is to upload the photo to Photobucket. It's free and easy to use. Then you can copy/paste it's link on a post here.

    Welcome aboard, but do share his registered name ? Who are Dad and Mom and what was his date of birth so we can be sure to add him to the Basenji pedigree on-line database (with a photo ???) for the world to share him. http://www.pedigrees.zandebasenjis.com/

    @msjames, @tanza did you a solid favor outlining expectations. Networking really is key to finding a "reputable" breeder. Most show their dogs and are connected to other breeders through showing. They all seem to know who is planning a litter and who isn't. I completely agree with Pat that you should meet your breeder in person prior to the puppies even being born. You can learn a lot. Is a Basenji right for you? If you want a dog to hang with you in the driveway with the garage door open as you chat with neighbors, or stand calmly with the front door open as you receive a UPS package... ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! Basenjis will bolt. they'll be gone in a second. They see it. They chase it. And if you think you have them trained... no. They've trained you. When they see it they will chase it. Basenjis, in my experience, need exercise. Mine get two walks a day. When they don't, they can be destructive. They're not shy about expressing frustration or displeasure through chewing up your best stuff. A big secure yard can mitigate this, but that's not a guarantee. They love seeing outside, so keep your blinds and drapes open otherwise they may open them themselves even if that requires chewing through them. They will climb onto windowsills, tables and low counter tops. They are capable of scaling a six-foot fence. They are known to climb trees. These are extreme examples, but better to know now. They are super affectionate. They can be trained... to a point. They are clowns and provide endless entertainment. A Basenji baroo is the best sound ever! They love to snuggle and will sleep on your bed and under the spreads and sheets if you let them. They love to share body heat. Tail twitches when I return home are the best!

    @basenjilovers - She is very cute, please make sure that DNA testing was done for Fanconi and PRA. And if not or you are not sure, you can get the test kits at www.ofa.org. You do the test as it is a cheek swab.
