It's hard to wait but take it from me; enjoy not living your life by the clock while you can..once the puppy comes you will find yourself looking at that clock and setting timers to go out to potty, eating…enjoy peaceful sleep and freedom..because once the puppy comes its a prison sentence for a little while (not to sound like a downer..lol) I was so excited to pick up Oakley that I picked him up a few days short of ten weeks; I wish I prepared a bit more mentally for such a huge event..Oakley was a tough cookie...so glad puppyhood is over! I miss the tiny body and cute little wrinkles but that's what pictures are for!! Lol
Congratulations and don't rush it, be excited for it but enjoy the time

He's cute! We need more pics!
He's really dark brindle, very nice!And: welcome!!
-
He is a very dark brindle which is one of the reasons we picked him.
I took some more pics and he is (in my eyes) beautiful when running in the sun. Nothing is as pretty as a Basenji running, of course none of those pics turned out, but here are a few others of him….
Enjoy, Basenjimamma

Wow, he's really a handsome B!!
-
What a pretty pup. Thanks for the pictures!! and welcome to the forum. I'm partial to the brindles.
I have an older brindle guy who's more of a black over red. Yours looks more like a red over black. I never thought to look here to see if there's a color distinction amongst brindles. I will now.
Again, welcome Otis and family.

Thanks for the warm welcome Snorky998, we are glad to be here.

He looks so joyful! I have a huge soft spot for brindle boys
-
What a sweet face! Congratulations. Love brindles.

Welcome to the forum!

Thank you all so much. Otis is getting more and more used to our other dogs and chickens and he is "blossoming" into a very curious little, or should I say big( at 18.9lbs at 4 months) boy.

Welcome to the pack – what a beautiful boy (but then what basenji isn't beautiful).
The look in his eye makes me think he's going to grow up into a real teaser
