They are adorable together. Q will be getting a LOT of exercise now. Congratulations.

I did notice on some dogs in my "virtual travels" the eye shape is lovely, the color, not so much, very pale, almost yellow eyes….I know what I "want"..must find what I "want".
To me the wedge shaped head, not skinny and not too wide either..is perfect, but I didn't know how to look for that in a puppy..now I have a better picture.
A few of the breeders I've spoken with have offered to help me with that though, which I appreciate highly. -

They look lovely! C-Me has a lot of talent for stacking

Are you planning to show? If so, one thing you might do if you haven't already is get really familiar with the breed standard and then also pick up a copy of "The Basenji Stacked & Moving". If you read the standard for eyes it says, "dark hazel to dark brown, almond shaped, obliquely set and farseeing. rims dark". On the BCOA website they have the Illustrated Standard which is also helpful - if you haven't already looked at that.

Yes I am planning on showing, so I have read as much as I can on the standard, over and over, still sounds like jibberish, but I am absorbing more everytime I read it.
All of the breeders I've spoken to would pick the puppy for us with our family in mind, so yes, that is what I would want to be done. Only the breeders sees and knows the puppies at that point, not our wants or desires. -
I love the unposed picture of Franie. In my opinion a 'late developer' is often the better puppy and are usually long lasters. She is still my favourite - what a beautiful head!

Exactly Patty…. I never loved those "wonder" puppies... when they looked totally mature at 6 months and then at 3yrs they look like 10yr old or older...
Close up, C-Me is pretty puppy(ish) too... she was just together on that day, but then she is 2wks older then Franie... and we all know what a day can do...

Here are head shots from yesterday of Franie and C-Me…. they are teething like crazy too....
C-Me will be 5 months on the 24th and Franie on 6th of June (date of our BCONC puppy match)... anyone in No California that would like to join for a day of fun Basenji activities and BCONC pot luck, check out www.norcalbasenjis.org

Very good looking pups you got there, I was glad to seen when Cairos last tooth fell out, which was about 2 weeks ago. His adult teeth are coming in nicely.

Wow, Franie has nice dark coat
