Ask the breeder how big the sire and dam are. That's a good idea. My first basenji, who was a champion, weighed nearly 26 pounds when she matured. My 2nd one would have been about that, but thanks to steroids, we did good to keep her at 30. My current rescue is a giant. We won't go there. I first dreamed of a SMALL dog, maybe 15 pounds tops after years of being a BIG DOG person (rottweilers and chows). I don't see that ever happening.
New addition on her way

It's a long and confusing story. We will only be co owners and she will live with us. I know her great grand daddy though.

Interesting line breeding on the litter. SunDiata is Chris Maxka. Looks like one of hers was exported to NZ, is she the co-owner? The dam of the stud dog we are using for C-Me comes from the Wazazi Line, same as the dam's pedigree of your pup. Both go back to Wazazi Perfect Dazzler.
Looks like however the bitch was not DNA'ed with either the linkage test or the direct test. Sire was done with the linkage test, but not rechecked with the direct test. While results have been seen to change for the better, because it was only a linkage test, breeding dogs should be retested.
Do you know if the pups have been done?
-
I assume you've studied her lineage? She looks a very pretty puppy.
-
AFAIK everything was done. I am no breeder and yes, Chris will be co owner. Will post some pics and update this after she gets here.

Q and Khera lounging on the deck.

She is too cute!
-
She is darling.
-
She is adorable and Q seems to get along with her just fine. Glad she made the trip without problems.
-
Thanks all. She has had to put him in his place quite a few times since she got here. He likes her a little too much. She is a little ball of energy but considering she is so young, quite well behaved. We are very happy with her. And the bonus is now Q is much more active when we are in the backyard and actually runs around instead of sitting at my feet
-
They are adorable together. Q will be getting a LOT of exercise now. Congratulations.
