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.

Yeah, I’m waiting until 12 weeks for personal reasons, not because of the breeder. I hope I can get equally as cute of photos.

Very cute, congratulations on your new addition!
I have a very similar "rearing up" pic taken when Jigsaw met my shepherd mix, Sassy, for the first time. Must be a basenji greeting pose!

What a cute little boy! Love the closeup picture - those little wrinkly faces are irresistable.

How are they related, Pat. I haven't had chance to study the pedegree yet but it's fascinating to find out whose related to who.

His Sire, Zordia's Indiana Jones is sired by AB-SS Money to Burn at Shernazar. He is a full brother to Franie and Trip's Mom, CH AB-SS Follow The Money.

What a cutie brother for Malaika. I hope he'll be just as 'perfect'!!

@caz:
Memetuka Kibwana aka Marley aka Destructopup
:D:D:D i like the AKA name.
Kwame's AKA is Goose because he sounds like one when he whinges.
I'd love to see some pics of Marley -
Wonderful!
Take lots of pictures. Our little girl, Mbali is now suddenly 12-weeks-old. She is so much bigger than she was at 8 weeks. Its great seeing her grow nicely but this little puppy stage is so brief.

I know what you mean, Basenjis seem to grow very fast.

Mbali is a little over ten pounds now. Her legs seem to growing faster than the rest of her. I need to get some fresh photos posted.
I see so many similar "looks" in your photos. They (Mbali and Shaun) love lounging around together, just like in your photos…
