Bring your paperwork that the breeder gave you to your first visit because they will want to know some things like birth date, always (in the first year or so when lots of shots are administered) bring the vaccination record book Pam and Sheila gave you and ensure they make a copy of it and not just write it down..you will also want to update your copy as your pup receive shots so like I said..bring it so they can fill it in for you. Any questions you have regarding vaccinations I highly suggest asking your vet but also getting in touch with Pam to ask her opinion, she knows her dogs and her lines and she is better equipped than the vet to give you an honest evaluation on which to give. Also try to follow her guidance on neutering and spaying (if you plan to). I know with Oakley I followed their advice. It might be true or not but in my opinion basenjis tend to mature slower and I find they need more time for the growth plates to close before castrating is a wise choice.
Is my dog a basenji? Too big?

So I think our dog is some kind of basenji or mix.h e seems too large, but the resemblance is hard to ignore. Any thoughts?
-
His tail does curl upward when he is not being camera-shy, but more of a loose curl. He looks JUST like some pics I have seen, but he seems taller than he should be.
-
What kind of sounds does he make? Likes water? Does he wash himself?
-
He's definitely not a pure basenji - something about his ear placement and there are no wrinkles; the head is way too big
-
In the video, I do see a lot of basenji traits, but who know... some mixes look like nothing they are really related to. Some basenjis, espec mixes, can be quite large.
