Ask the breeder how big the sire and dam are. That's a good idea. My first basenji, who was a champion, weighed nearly 26 pounds when she matured. My 2nd one would have been about that, but thanks to steroids, we did good to keep her at 30. My current rescue is a giant. We won't go there. I first dreamed of a SMALL dog, maybe 15 pounds tops after years of being a BIG DOG person (rottweilers and chows). I don't see that ever happening.
Benny and Willow have a New Playmate - Tess

So we adopted Tess, a Basenji pup who was rejected by her mom at two hours old. She was hand fed by some wonderful people in Kentucky and ended up as the sole survivor from a liter of 5 pups. The family who saved her started a facebook page for Tess and we are continuing to keep it up. the link is below.

I don't know why they are sideways?????
-
What happened to the other pups? Do you know why they didn't make it? She is adorable!
-
She is a cutie
-
What a pretty little girl. She was very lucky to survive.
-
What a tough begining for a little puppy. of course she's on easy street now!
-
I do not know why the others did noot make it. Tess came to us from Camp Jean via a foster that was wonderful for her.
-
What a lucky girl! She looks very sweet
-
She is a rascal. She has no problem getting Benny into trouble, he really loves her. Willow acts as if she is Tess's mother and Bear grumbles at her, but he enjoys the attention she gives him.

Sorry to hear about her tragic beginnings. Looks like she has a really wonderful home now!
