There are 11 puppies in the litter….qiute often in ridgebacks....I was there when they were coming to this world, so they are like my own....little babies :)
Well, bless them. Animals are resilient and they will go about their lives as if nothing is wrong with them. And there will always be those dear people who will lovingly care for little creatures like this. However, I agree with other posters who have indicated that the bitch NEEDS to be spayed. Whether it is a DNA problem or the bitch doing this to the newborns, spaying needs to be done to ensure this doesn't happen again.
They really are beautiful puppies. You have done a great job with them that was lot of puppies to care for at one time. I do so wish I could have one but we want another Basenji at one point and I could not have it then. Makes me sad as my husband will tell you I have this fit called I want what I want when I want it. Must be why Jaycee and I get along so well we act to much a like. Ha! Ha! I am sure you will get great homes for your babies.

I'm guessing that puppy was still getting out, and the owner had no clue how, so they set up a camera while they were out. We did it with Blaze when we couldn't figure out how he was still getting to the garbage with the can in the sink. Turns out he moved a chair over there, picked out his choice pieces and moved the chair back… too smart in all the wrong ways...
@Ninabeana26:
I swear websites like this just increase the chances of puppy mills & BYBs.
That is so true. This is why it is so important that it is not only responsible breeders that have websites directing people on how to find a responsibly bred puppy but also that responsible owners have websites. Every person can help battle puppy mills by helping other people find a responsible breeder. The more websites are out there directing people to websites like
http://www.basenji.org/learn
http://kineticbasenjis.tripod.com/Information/Buying_a_Basenji.html
http://basenji.org/?q=node/30
http://www.basenjiclubofcanada.com/BCOC-BreedersDirectory.html
Any links to the National Club's Breeder Directory and educational websites help to increase the chances that buyers will not go to a BYB or puppymill.
