Saego from Belgium.

    Hi everyone,
    This is Saego, a 4 month old Basenji male from Belgium, which i got a little over 2 weeks ago.
    He is a nice little guy who learns very quickly.
    I got a feeling that he is a little small,he stands about 33-34 centimetres shoulder height at the moment (13-13,4 inches). He was the smallest of the 3 remaining brothers of the nest, and his tail hasn't been curled all the way yet. But then again i'm not really expierienced with the anatomy of the Basenji, since it is my first one.
    He is great with other dogs, and has such a nice and friendly character.

    Please do tell me what you think!

    (I do lack photographer skills but this would'nt be a proper introduction without pictures)

    He is cute and love the tail, wish my boys wasn't so tightly curled as it never really wags and I miss that happy signal so I take more notice of his ears to see how he is feeling they can tell a lot. Can't remember how tall Kaiser was at 4 months but your boy still has a lot more growing time left I think adult height at the shoulders for males is 41-43 cm 10-12 kg but must say Kaiser was the biggest pup in the litter so he is bigger than that now at 11 months last measure he was 46cm and 13.4 kg. Enjoy your pup.

    He's a real good boy, and somehow he just loves those cows, not a single day passes without going to that field!

    @abonnard Pee pads got me through in the end, she would pee every 20 mins for the first months, then 40 mins, then she suddenly went to being able to hold it for many hours. One of the best purchases I got before she arrived was a small carpet washer, saved my sanity. The cleanup is so key otherwise they go back to the same spot.

    @Motala - That is good that you talked to Jan and glad to hear that she had not been spayed. I still think that your Vet and you should connect with Dr. Gonto about your girl's blood work and blood gas results and if he has any thoughts about it.

    @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!
