I cannot imagine committing to buy a puppy without seeing the animal and if possible the sire and dam. OTOH, a rescue (or adoption of an older dog) is a different thing. My last two Basenjis came to me sight unseen, and turned out to be wonderful dogs, but the breeders I got them from wanted to place their dogs in an experienced Basenji home, and I only paid the cost of getting the dogs to me. One came by air, one was personally transported to me by his breeder. If she hadn't been happy with what she found I expect she would have taken him back with her when she left. I also had to commit to return him if ever I couldn't keep him. Good breeders care about where their dogs end up.

She's so pretty…looks like she went to the beauty shop.
And he's such a scamp!
It's great to see them getting along so well.

That is a LOT of hair on the floor! I prefer the grooming of the basenji, ha!
And seeing the pup sleeping in your destroyed grooming box…priceless. They look like a good pair of playmates. -
Kahlo looks wonderful!
And about Kasko, isn't he a Basenji? :D:D:D -
Love the pictures and the comments..Kahlo is looking great and Kasko is simply adorable even in his mischief…
When I had a westie in Sweden (1976-1990) we would have him hand stripped as well, but once I got a westie here in the states, finding a good stripper here was very hard, every groomer here i houston (that I found and interviewed) would use a clipper and just make westies look horrible..hmmm
.
I never did learn how to do it on my own..
Now, with all short haired breeds in the house..grooming is easy..I love that. -
Yeah i almost never see american schanuzers handstripped - Don't know why really. Lots of giants gets clipped here to, but Kahlo has to soft an curly coat so I dont want it to get softer and curlier.
Now I have used another hour or so on her - and still have loads left - im just SO glad i decided on basenji as "dog nr 2" I don't think I could handle one more breed that needs grooming.
