I'm Nate. My wife and I have had our Basenji for a little over a year now. He's named Sam and we rescued him out here in Germany. I'm just here to gather more tips on Basenji's and also spread my experience of him/them as well. Thanks!
I think they just look solid so my mind saw "bigger." I have one of the Wimaumau rescue giants (44 pounds), but even my 2 previous gals were far from petite... about 26 to 28 pounds. My dream of a petite 18 pound basenji just never happened, lol.
Her name is Mattie and she is a real sweetie. My son brought her home from a mission trip in Appalachia. She has become my shadow and we just can't imagine not having her around.
