  • Well, Pat, if I wanted another B I'd be taking a real close CLOSE look. He's gorgeous-his front end and topline look really good-and you KNOW what I'm looking for!

  • Yes, so far he is growing up really well… we are pleased... of course time will tell.... and you would have to Kill Ann for him... ggg... she would never ever give him up!!!

  • @Mantis:

    so Cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    post More Pics Pleeeeease!!

    Great idea! They are all so adorable!

    I will try to get some current pics of Ariel and post tomorrow.

    He is really looking good, Pat. What is his breeding, again?

    Am/Can Ch FoPaws N Bajoran After Hours x DC Zuri's Gracii,SC, he was co-bred by Lisa Hart and Therese Leimback

  • Okay, so the first one is Ariel (Avongara Ariel) at six weeks. Then about four months, and then today, almost seven months.

    For those that are new to all of this, she is a full African, which means she is descended down from the Basenjis that were imported from Central Africa in 1987-'88. She is Brindle with a saddle and mask, which is why she is so dark, and looks a little "different". She is probably THE most adorable and loveable puppy we have had here. She is always wagging, and wants to be with the people ALL the time. She also is by far the best listener!

    Oh!! I LOVE the running around in the undies years!!!
    I miss that; such a sweet time of life.

    Oh, and Ariel is beautiful,too!

  • I don't have any photos of Keoki as a little tiny boy because we got him at about 3 mos, but here's one from that age and three from now, just about six months
    {IF I link them correctly! No matter how many times I do this, I always forgot how}

    Keoki, about 3 mos

    Keoki, six months, THE FACE

    Aww - too adorable. Looks like they both like playing ball. Ariel definately has a serious look on her face, even though she's still a puppy. She IS interesting and rare looking that goes along with her ancestors. How cool. Her brindle coat does it for me. ;)

  • Sherwood's Little Red Corvette aka Cory

    at 8 weeks

    at 4 months

    at 7 months

  • Stunning.

    And very cool how you've "disappeared" from the photo on the table!

  • Zahra at 3 Months the night we brought her home, I don't think Chase was too happy at first now they are inseperable :rolleyes:

    I think the rabies tag was weighing her little neck down! LOL!

    I think she may have been about 9 months here

    Zahra at 1 Year 4 months

  • Adorable Pics!!!

  • i love cute little puppies

  • The first one is abby at 3 months that's when I first got her.

    The next one is in Feb she was 8 months.

    The last two are current just took them 5 minutes ago and she is not quite 13 months. I am kind of concerned about her size though, I weighed her a couple of days ago and she only weighs 17.5 lbs, when I see all the other pics on here everybodies dog looks bigger than her. Even her parents which I have pictures of look bigger. The other dog is Missy our mixed breed, mixed with what we are not sure. Lab and ? look at her tail maybe a little B in there somewhere?

  • Hello all. I regret to say, I do not have any baby pics of Metinga as we got her when she was 5yrs old. I did have some pics of her that we posted on the "Basenji Magazine" on the photo gallery but that website does not seem to exist anymore. So I can not retrieve them.

    However, Helix I do happen to have baby pics of thanks to his puppy raiser and the PADS website (we got him exactly one year ago this week).

    I hope this works(I will be guessing at the time frames):
    1. Helix at I think about 3mths of age
    2.Helix at about age 4-5mths

    Will have to post 2 current ones in next message but have to try to resize them so the file will fit.

    From what I've seen (well bred) basenji puppies range from $900-$1500 depending on show quality. Like Krunzer said, puppies are cute but are A LOT of work. I've raised 2 basenjis and 2 goldens and while a lot of it is the same.. the basenjis seem to discover new ways to be mischievous that my goldens would never have dreamed of doing. Be prepared to replace many MANY things because odds are they will destroy them! Elliot isn't a climber but my last one was so even things high up on tables and counters were not safe from him. My current B is 10 months and going though the "I forgot every good behavior you taught me" phase. This includes trying to jump off the table at shows to play with the other dogs and the judge @______@. Now that I've strayed away from the topic.. A BRAT, rescue or retired show dog might be the best fit for you! I know of several breeders who will sell their retired show dogs because they simply can't keep them all. Before I got my first B I looked into purchasing a finished champion to learn how to show dogs with but ended up with a puppy.

    When we say responsible for the dogs forever - we do really mean forever. I have animals returned to me when they were 9 years old because of significant family issues or death of the owner - I currently have a 12 year old and a 7 year old that now live with me. Think about what that means - because even those of us who are prepared for that - really are never prepared for the impact on our families houses and other dogs. You say you want to keep 2 - be advised that the everyone hanging out together in basenji world is NOT the norm. Most can have 1 male and 1 female - if you are planning on keeping 2 - you may have a problem - not right away but eventually you are likely to do so. I am not sure that I remember who or where Chaos came from but fanconi testing and eye testing for PRA would be critical as well as thyroid screening. What titles does she have - is she a fast as the wind Field CH or Obedience or rally or conformation CH. That would allow you to have evidence that she has characteristics that are valuable to the breed as a whole and quite frankly if all you want are a couple more basenjis - there are many many out there that could use a forever home. In any event - think about it - it's not as easy as you think - if you are going to do it right - and finding good homes is also not as easy as you think. You may not have the experience in weeding out puppy mills who might want your pups and living where you do - you are in the midst of some that do produce basenjis.

    I would suggest waiting until you get the little guy. Indi didn't have a name for abut 2 days. We had all these names in mind and none of them fit. Thats my two cents anyway (oh ya and because we did that I have a cool costume for him on haloween but I don't think I am going to get any cooperation on his end)
