    Thank you, Rhonda. We will try not to get our feelings hurt that she isn't ears-back, tail-wagging at us all the time!

    Simba was supposedly in a litter of 4. I have a picture of the litter registration form. I know that another of the puppies is supposed to be in Northern Alabama. But that's as much as I know. I will look into getting the kit next week. I will post results once I know.

    @CrazyBasenjiMom said in Hey there! Meet Tars!: He mostly basenji, but not full, he doesn't have the ears, t he tails a give away too, is it curly? 23 is kinda heavey for a Basenji full grown, I wish 23 was heavy for a full grown Basenji, but it really is not. In fact it's in the middle with many weighing much more. I have seen some pretty large poorly bred, but also some big ones who were largely African years ago in NC at the nationals. I have seen a lot of basenjis whose tails were not right also, so that doesn't eliminate being basenji. But obviously no way to know for sure. I'd go with mix also, especially if those ears aren't fully erect soon. In ears...they SHOULD be up... but that isn't always true even of registered basenjis: https://www.basenji.org/african/lubb0001.htm One major break from the early development trend is African puppy ears. Both domestic & 3/8 litters had upright ears in approximately a week, while the Africans took much longer. In fact, 2 puppies went to their new homes at 15 weeks of age and their ears were not consistently up although they did finally come up; Roos between 17 & 18 weeks and Roosters by 4 months. <<

    thanks! they love to rest on the sun, is my basenji garden, they can go in/out all day at their pleasure using a little doggie door. Even when im not at home, so they can take the sun and get some fresh inside the house. :-)

    @Ricky_F: we have no idea what he is. The rescue told us he is some sort of basenji mix. But they have no idea about the parents either. He was found as a stray when he was maybe 8 weeks old. At the end it doesn't matter what his genetics is, we love his personality! He is very cute and you are right, in the end the fact that he is a great family addition is the most important thing…. welcome
