Oh I'm sure those are the same dogs : ) Theia was nearly completely black. Just wanted you all to see how adorable they were when they were babies. The only tentative picture I have of the dad is a really close up picture of his head. I've attached it but am not sure whether or not it is helpful.

Hello

I'm getting the picture loaded and I will post it later tonight. I did, however, watch videos regarding the noises that Basenji's make. Theia most definitely makes these noises! We always just thought she was "special" She had never made a completely "baroo" but she's such a little drama queen, constantly throwing herself on the ground and crying. So when she was upset last night about her sister stealing her bone, I encouraged her to make the noises instead of shushing her. Sure enough, I got a baroo! I think she was more surprised than I was!!

Junta does not generally make noise. She will make noise if theia does.. MAYBE.

Theia does bark occasionally as well though… so I'm a bit confused!!

Any more help would be great.

Thanks,
Kelly

Hello!
In the beginning of April 2010 I rescued 2 two week old puppies. I was given no information about them other than a picture of their believed father, I can upload that if it's helpful. Their names are Junta and Theia. Today while running around on the beach (a twice daily occurrence for us due to an insane amount of energy) a man came up to me and commented on my beautiful Basenji mixes. I had previously thought some sort of Australian Shepherd but was really quite unsure.

A little about the girls:
They turn 8 months old TODAY (birth date: March 30, 2010)
They stand about 17 inches (?) tall and weigh around 40 (?) pounds.
Their tails are held up with a little curve and a white tip, though they can and do pull them down.
They HATE the wet weather here in coastal Northern California, although Junta will swim if a stick is thrown, its 100 degrees out, and I'm already in the water.. Theia will not even consider the proposition.
They're little wrinkled brow makes them look constantly worried.
Juntas ears stand straight up, and one of Theias does.
Theia has a cataract in her right eye, presumably from birth.
They lick themselves, each other, or me constantly, especially when tired.
They love to be with me and constantly ask for my attention (maybe just a dog thing )

I've posted some pictures of them and I'd love to hear what you think!!
