@daureen - I will also say that my C-Me picked me... note however that most all responsible breeders will pick the pup for the home.. this is why breeders want to know all about the home/family/lifestyle, we want them to be in their forever homes... that said there are exceptions.. in my case this was a puppy back from a breeding... I had the choice of the 5 bitches in the litter but from the moment that I went in the house, this was the pup that came to me and didn't want to leave. LOL... and in some cases there could be two that are about the same and would fit the family... then they have a choice. My C-Me was a great choice and while there were others in the litter that was maybe a bit nicer as a show puppy, but I could not turn away from this girl that picked me... She is a Dual Champion and whelped a wonderful litter... And she is a loving girl to all in the family

Hi there, just wanted to say hi and introduce myself to the forum. I am Petra and I live in Houston, Tx. We have two "regular" dogs, Gus, the dachshund and Luna the Schnorkie….and then we have Otis, the 4 month old Basenji.
We just got him on tuesday, and he has already melted our hearts.
Before you even ask, his parents have both been Fanconi tested and was declared probably clear/normal. He is dark brindle and white. I will post pics as soon as I can figure out how to do it....Basenjimamma

Welcome from a fellow Texan!

Thank you it is good to be here.
-
Welcome! I'd love to see pictures, I love brindles!
-
Welcome…where did you get your b from?
Some of our folks are "related" by dogs, so I like to ask. -
I got him from a breeder in Mo. How do I post pics. I tried but got a error message.
-
I had the same problem trying to post pictures.
There is something called an avatar. you have to edit or activate it. (it has been a while since i did it and it was not something i was familiar with, so i am not sure i remember) but as soon as i did that, the pictures downloaded. try that…. -
I even tried to do an avatar and got the same message. I will keep on trying and see if I get some info from the headman/woman, I did leave them a message.

Welcome to the forum!

Thanks all, we are really enjoying Otis in our lives. He is very sweet and different I must say even as a puppy. I am about to try and get some pics added so you can see how pretty he is.

Welcome Petra and family. We'd like to see picks of everybody, especially Otis.

I keep on getting the mesage that my link or something like that is missing a secure logo or something. I even tried getting the pics from photobucket but can not figure it out. I am working on it though so bear with me.

How cute….

Glad you got it to work. Did the same thing to me. All the sudden it worked! HE IS ADORABLE!!! congrats!
-
Thanks all, we love him, but then again we are pretty partial, LOL

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!!
