@b5004ever - Black muzzle is not uncommon in Basenjis, it is referred to as "masking". It fades as the pup ages. Usually found in bloodlines that carry the "Tri" gene. That said, look closely at the heads on those dogs. Compare to the heads found on the illustrated standard at www.basenji.org (https://www.basenjihe.org/BasenjiU/Judge/Study/Illustrated-Standard-2012.pdf). There are some unanswered questions if a sire was used that was known to come from a person in the West that crossed Basenjis with Fox Terriers
Hopefully Babies for Langarni Basenjis.

Thank you everyone for the congrats… Im soooo glad that is all over, I can tell you
Ochre has settled into motherhood so well, and all the bubbies are doing very well.

Jennie, they look lovely..I just saw your pictures online..congrats again…oh, how I wish I was closer, much closer...
-
Oh goodness - are those ever adorable pups! I just love those little pink noses. Well done, Ochre. You deserve lots of praise for producing such beautiful puppies.
-
Aaaah sooo cute! Can you send one to the Netherlands?
-
Oh they are so cute! Good job, Ochre. She and the puppies all look so strong and healthy - wonderful news.
-
So cool. I didn't realize the babies started out so dark (relative to the red of the mother) – at least that's how it appears in the pictures, which are a pleasure to see. And those adorable little twizzlestick tails!
Congratulations!
-
Just been to look at the babies - gorgeous and mum must be so pleased with herself. Puppies always make me feel broody - and sorry that we won't be having any more. I now have to take joy in viewing other peoples'!
I noticed too that in the preamble you said that the scan showed 2 to 3 puppies!! Well done Ochre for doublinfg that! Typical of a Basenji!!!!
-
Thanks everyone for the lovely comments… Just starting to feel hooman again, just ;).
Ochre is doing very well indeed, and Im sooooo very proud of her. She has settled into motherhood like a real pro...
Bubbies are all gaining great amounts of weight, feeding well, and are just such time wasters :D. Got a friend coming down tomorrow to do the dew claws, something Im NOT looking forward to, although she reassures me the pups will probably cope a lot better than the humans will :).
Will try to get some individual pics of them, either tomorrow or the following day :)...
-
Wonderful update..can't wait for pictures..you know we are picture hogs..:)
Good luck on the dew claw removal, does not sound like fun times..
