There is mischief in those eyes !

I was thinking the same thing! You can tell as soon as she's able, she's going out to explore.

Pretty girl, bet she's fun!

So cute. Love the mix of being an adult but still a puppy.

Both shots are great but I like the first pic better. The second has too much dead space behind the butt, so everything of interest is in the right half of the frame and the pic is a bit static. In the first pic the outstretched right leg comes out of the frame and draws you in.

Lovely.

@jkent What a beautiful girl.

[Annie]

Ohh she is such a pretty girl

[Zande]

@donc I crop photos, remove dead space and humans so only the dog fills the picture . Heads look better side on than full front !

[JKent]

@zande I think the front view shows the beauty but the side view the character!

[Zande]

@jkent I love the way she is interested in something out of the window.

[JKent]

@zande she loves sitting on the back of that sofa monitoring what's going on outside!

Basenjis like to see outside. Mine would sit on the back of sofas as yours is, until I moved to a home with large floor to ceiling windows, which turned out to be very popular. What Basenjis do not like is to have their view impeded. I had blinds that suffered until I figured that out. I had to keep them up high enough that my boy could see under them, or he would attack them.

@eeeefarm we have floor to ceiling doors at the back of the house, but she prefers the front bay window as there is more going on on the road than the garden!!

Your little Ellie has the most beautiful wrinkles!!!! I just adore her face!

[elbrant]

@jkent What a fabulous windowsill! Just her size!!

@jkent - This is a perfect place for a Basenji.... LOL

@JKent I just love her color pattern. Any chance of seeing her left side profile? I’d like to see the left side of her neck and across her back. Just love that spot on her right. 🥰

@jkent
Her coloring and patterning are beautiful. She is an absolute GORGEOUS Basenji! ❤️🐾 Just lovely!

I’m no breeder, and my knowledge of the Basenji show standard is rudimentary at best. That said Ellie is one of the most beautiful Basenjis I’ve seen. The way her white underbelly cheats it’s way up the sides of her thighs. Not sure I’ve seen that before. The white pin stripe up the back of her skull. Jengo had one, so I’m partial to that. The spot. Just dig that so much. I hope she never grows out of her wrinkles. Happy you found each other! Keep us updated. 👊😁👍

Have to disagree in this case. LOL Both are cute but my guess would be 70-30 for the "full frontal" with the two eyes right at you.

But I'm thinking of a family type print not a genealogical database.

@donc here's the in between!

@jkent
She is so PHOTOGENIC! A Basenji Super Model! Lol!
