    I love how you crate train, it seems very "natural". They are all really cute pups!

    Have you decided on their registered names yet? I'm just curious what you came up with…:o

    As unofficial photographer and puppy socializer extroidinaire (no matter how many ways I try to spell that, it doesn't look correct…) I can attest to not only the absolute and utter cuteness, but also the wonderful temperament of these puppies. I've been going over about once a week since these guys were born, and they truly are the most fearless and most personality filled little buggers. It has been an incredible experience watching them thrive and grow and learn and outsmart me each and every week.
    Last week I got to hear several little puppy baroos & other noises. Too cute!!!

    just out of curiosity, does the pink on their noses darken up or will some of them always have pink on their noses?

    They are very cute. I am partial to the tris of course. :)

    My favourite is tri male.
    By the way, great t-shirt :cool:.

    Isn't the shirt awesome? I got it at the BCOA national specialty this year. I knew the vender, who is also the artist, from eons ago when I was into Chinese Cresteds. I asked her to do a trotting tri and she came up with this design. I think it turned out fabulous. :)

    One thing that I have learned in life is to accept that things are not all black or all white. Life is shades of gray and just because someone sees a different shade of gray than you do, it doesn't mean their shade is right or wrong, its just different. ~ Robyn Dubbert

    Trust me….most litters I have had do not respond so favorably to crate-training. Most pitch a fit at first but these just walk right on into the crates when they get tired. They are extremely clean too and they will not soil their crates nor will they poop in the puppy pen if they can help it. They are pretty good about using the potty box to poop in but I'm still working on getting them to use the box for piddles.

    These pups have been the most pleasant litter I have had in a long time. They are super smart and willing to please. I just show them what I want them to do, praise, and they pick it up fast. I truly couldn't be happier with their temperament. They have been a real joy to have around. :)

    Haha AJs Human. Several people on the forum have been able to come watch the little ones grow. The pups and I always enjoy their visits. Any other local people who want to meet them are welcome to come also. :)

    Sometimes when there is a lot of white coloration around the nose it takes longer for the nose color to fill in. Puppy 1 is filling in more and more each week but it is one of the slowest I have ever had to fill in. Only time will tell but I don't think his nose will ever be completely black.

    By seeing them every week, I guarantee I won't end up having the crazy idea that I have time & space for ANOTHER basenji right now…..

    Although if the plain red girl would only fit in my purse & I could sneak it past Bindi.....:D

    Yes, she's my favorite. She's so pretty…

    She may just grow up to be a spectacular bitch. I hope to see her pics as an adult.

    It's an OMG all right, but not how you'd think. At first it was blamed on a family members vindictive ex but now I have an update from someone... "Had not heard anything from the woman that was buying the puppy so I telephoned her. Well.... While the puppies were real (lots of real time updates, photos, videos, & talked about them to her friends & family on her personal Facebook page), it looks like the woman that was selling them made up a series of lies because a) did want to deal with shipping a puppy; b) sold it to someone local; d) sold it for more money to someone else; d) who the hell knows. The woman that was the intended buyer who posted all the ads is livid and perplexed. She plans to talk to an attorney friend to make sure it is okay to plaster the seller's name everywhere. The world is full of jerks, jackasses, and idiots. Had a long talk with buyer and told her to only deal with AKC registered breeders in the future. She is lucky she didn't lose any money."

    @Chealsie508: I am a born skeptic and although I am not a breeder I would feel uncomfortable placing a puppy into a home when you 1: haven't been able to meet them or 2: haven't been "vetted" by someone you know. It is so easy for a breeder to sell a puppy on a spay/ neuter contract but hard to enforce once the puppy leaves you. People can make themselves seem like exactly what you want until they get what they want. I'm also not a breeder, but have friends who are. And I have seen this equation from the other side, twice as a puppy buyer (in both cases I visited, met the parents of the pups, had conversations with the breeders, etc.) and three times adopting older dogs. On one occasion the dog was shipped to me from Washington State…...but that was set up between the breeder in Washington who was looking for a home for a returned dog of hers and a breeder I had previously purchased a pup from, and who went with me to pick up the dog at the airport! I think it is best to have personal contact if you can, but you can get a fairly good "feel" for people by talking to them. Internet may work for an initial connection, but I would want telephone contact at the very least. I agree with Chealsie508 that "People can make themselves seem like exactly what you want until they get what they want." My close friend who breeds Pyrenees has had situations that seemed ideal turn out to be anything but, and on other occasions placements that she was a bit concerned about turned out to be just great. When in doubt, going with your instincts may work, but not always. No guarantees, and it is very difficult to enforce contracts once the dog is out of your hands. Once upon a time I thought I might sell a horse or two. Nope. Couldn't do it. Still got 'em, and they will die here. Glad I never bred my bitch! :)

    You can dual register him. Register him with AKC and then use the AKC registration to qualify for CKC registration.

    They're lovely puppies - I love to see them when their noses are just getting colour. I think the tri girl looks very promising - have you a favourite?

    Also, as they are so cat like, folks don't understand their not "listening". So the corrections get harsher and harsher. Sigh. Education is the key for folks…until they do, we will have many dogs in the wrong homes.
