@donc - Not true that breeders traditionally breed for conformation only. Breeders (responsible breeders) breed for health, temperament and conformation. Health/temperament is at the top of the list. Breeders do of course look for certain conformation but that does not exclude Health & Temperament.

They are all so cute! How old when their tails start to curl? or do they already?
They usually start to "tip" over at 5 weeks or so…. they change lots during teething...
-
Okay I have a stupid question (I was trying to backtrack to your original post and can't seem to add correctly) … How long is the typical gestation period for basenjis?
-
The picture is kind of fuzzy because they never stand still but you can see the one pup's tail. They are all about that curled right now.
As for the gestation period, it is 63 days from the day they ovulate.
-
so. Do you ship to Ohio??:)
-
They just get cuter and cuter….

Here are some pics from this week. The puppies are 5 weeks old. I am not sure how Bella avoided the camera so well this week but she did.
Dean, 5 weeks
Clark, 5 weeks
Blaze, 5 weeks
Bella's Butt, 5 weeks
Dean is already trying to figure out how to get out the dog door
And as we all know, A Tired Basenji is a Good Basenji
-
They are looking great Lisa…..
-
Cute! The tails look even curlier now. I wish I didn't have to wait until January to see some puppies in person…
-
Aww, even Bella's butt is cute, LOL.
-
The puppies are very active now and play much more.
-
Here is the third pic. It keeps logging me out so I can't fix the typo in the link in the post above.
-
Very cute pics, very cute pups! Just adorable…
-
Absolutely love the BW in the background of the second picture.
-
Already attacking plastic bags. What little coursers they'll be. Cute!
-
ooohhh… I Like Clark!!!
I know my perfect Christmas gift this year....
-
Here are their 8 week old pics. Sorry for the blurriness, my camera settings were apparently wrong.

Dean
Clark
Blaze

While hard to tell totally from the pictures…. I like Clark and Bella the best. Hard to tell about Bella's shoulders... but both she and Clark have the best rears from what I can tell both with a very nice shelf....
-
That was the general consensus yesterday. Both Clark and Bella's fronts would be better if they were a bit further back but overall they are both nice puppies. Bella has the show attitude, very full of herself being the only girl and only red. Clark is more like his dad in attitude.

Here are some not blurry casuals from yesterday.
Bella
Clark
Dean
The whole Gang

Based solely on these photos, I would rank Bella and Dean the highest but Clark and Flash are certainly not far behind. This is a fabulous litter. I love them all.
