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.
My New Pup

I haven't decided a name on him yet, but I am picking him up in about three weeks and I am soo excited! Here are some pictures.
My puppy at 2 weeks I think?

How old will your pup be when you get him?
-
He will be eight weeks.
-
how fun - puppy breath

As I remember you were concerned about your Mom and her allergies? Have you had a visit with Basenjis yet?
-
Yes, please do go visit b's with your mom.
Do the t shirt test I told you about.
If you decide not to, and get the pup, and mom can't live with it…well, that would be a mess wouldn't it? -
Yes. Someone where I used to live has a basenji, and she was fine!
-
Did you visit twice? Usually allergic reactions do not occur until after the first exposure.
-
Or after extended time with the dander, so, that is why the t-shirt test works so well.
-
Yes I did the t-shirt thing. I meant to add that as well. lol
-
He's Cuuuuuuuuuuuute!!
-
ahhhhh.. he's sooo sweet…
