do u know tad?
im currently buying my first basenji! i am very excited but have a question. it is going to be an australiian breed. are they the same size as other or are they bigger than standard size..
Keoki's sire is an Australian import. It's been a long time since I've seen him, and as I didn't know at the time that I'd have one of his puppies some day I didn't really take great notice {except that he is a gorgeous boy}. I don't recall him being particularly large. {Khani? ]
Keoki isn't an unusually large boy either.
I know Tad also, I got my Tayda from him a few years ago. He and his partner Joseph are a lovely pair….
You'll soon see… the basenji world is really small....

Well especially when it comes to breeders…
i was looking for a good breeder and it just so happened he lives within walking distance luckily for me! i can tell he knows his stuff and hes a great guy. my basenji is due any day.
any advice for me for the first couple weeks of owning a basenji?. ive done some homework but it would be nice to hear from someone who has one.

The best advise you can get is from Tad…. .... main thing is to be consistant, crate train, work on house training... and above all have a sense of humor....
So exciting to be getting a puppy! Congrats! Keep us posted and we will of course want lots and lots of pics!! We all adore puppy pics!!
My added advice is: Love them unconditionally, just as they do you. Forgive easily… don't worry- it will be hard to stay mad at something so cute!! And spoil incessantly! mwhahahah!! 
its gonna be a long 8 weeks waiting but ill be sure to post some pics thanks for the help
Keoki's sire (Buka) is an Aussie import. He is good-sized, though I haven't wicketed him. But I know he is one of our biggest dog, probably 17.5-18" tall, but very well proportioned.
As Pat said, it doens't matter where they are from as to their size. I've seen some really small Aussie dogs, just as some American dogs can be really big and some can be really little.
