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.

We adopted Jody from an animal shelter almost a year ago. They told us she was between 6 and 8 yrs old.!They said she was Basenji mix. She has straight tail, barks (alot), and weighs about 34 lbs. Every once in a while she makes a rattling sound in her throat. We are planning to do a dna test on her. 0_1516461496190_jo.jpg

What a coincidence... the Garner TX animal shelter (?) has a dog that looks like a twin to yours... They originally called her "Tiny" and claimed she was Basenji - they have since changed her name to "Cami". It's almost easy to see why they would think Basenji from the ears and the markings. I can't imagine what the mix really is though... please let us know what the DNA tests reveal. Thanks!
