    He is really looking good, Pat. What is his breeding, again?

    Am/Can Ch FoPaws N Bajoran After Hours x DC Zuri's Gracii,SC, he was co-bred by Lisa Hart and Therese Leimback

  • Okay, so the first one is Ariel (Avongara Ariel) at six weeks. Then about four months, and then today, almost seven months.

    For those that are new to all of this, she is a full African, which means she is descended down from the Basenjis that were imported from Central Africa in 1987-'88. She is Brindle with a saddle and mask, which is why she is so dark, and looks a little "different". She is probably THE most adorable and loveable puppy we have had here. She is always wagging, and wants to be with the people ALL the time. She also is by far the best listener!

    Oh!! I LOVE the running around in the undies years!!!
    I miss that; such a sweet time of life.

    Oh, and Ariel is beautiful,too!

  • I don't have any photos of Keoki as a little tiny boy because we got him at about 3 mos, but here's one from that age and three from now, just about six months
    {IF I link them correctly! No matter how many times I do this, I always forgot how}

    Keoki, about 3 mos

    Keoki, six months, THE FACE

    Aww - too adorable. Looks like they both like playing ball. Ariel definately has a serious look on her face, even though she's still a puppy. She IS interesting and rare looking that goes along with her ancestors. How cool. Her brindle coat does it for me. ;)

  • Sherwood's Little Red Corvette aka Cory

    at 8 weeks

    at 4 months

    at 7 months

  • Stunning.

    And very cool how you've "disappeared" from the photo on the table!

  • Zahra at 3 Months the night we brought her home, I don't think Chase was too happy at first now they are inseperable :rolleyes:

    I think the rabies tag was weighing her little neck down! LOL!

    I think she may have been about 9 months here

    Zahra at 1 Year 4 months

  • Adorable Pics!!!

  • i love cute little puppies

  • The first one is abby at 3 months that's when I first got her.

    The next one is in Feb she was 8 months.

    The last two are current just took them 5 minutes ago and she is not quite 13 months. I am kind of concerned about her size though, I weighed her a couple of days ago and she only weighs 17.5 lbs, when I see all the other pics on here everybodies dog looks bigger than her. Even her parents which I have pictures of look bigger. The other dog is Missy our mixed breed, mixed with what we are not sure. Lab and ? look at her tail maybe a little B in there somewhere?

  • Hello all. I regret to say, I do not have any baby pics of Metinga as we got her when she was 5yrs old. I did have some pics of her that we posted on the "Basenji Magazine" on the photo gallery but that website does not seem to exist anymore. So I can not retrieve them.

    However, Helix I do happen to have baby pics of thanks to his puppy raiser and the PADS website (we got him exactly one year ago this week).

    I hope this works(I will be guessing at the time frames):
    1. Helix at I think about 3mths of age
    2.Helix at about age 4-5mths

    Will have to post 2 current ones in next message but have to try to resize them so the file will fit.

  • Wow, the 7month olds look defined where my Cairo now looks chubby?

    How much are your 7month olds eating now?

  • Again, Keoki is only 6.5 mos, but he eats 3/4 cup of Puppy chow twice a day, so 1.5 cups a day.

    From what I've seen (well bred) basenji puppies range from $900-$1500 depending on show quality. Like Krunzer said, puppies are cute but are A LOT of work. I've raised 2 basenjis and 2 goldens and while a lot of it is the same.. the basenjis seem to discover new ways to be mischievous that my goldens would never have dreamed of doing. Be prepared to replace many MANY things because odds are they will destroy them! Elliot isn't a climber but my last one was so even things high up on tables and counters were not safe from him. My current B is 10 months and going though the "I forgot every good behavior you taught me" phase. This includes trying to jump off the table at shows to play with the other dogs and the judge @______@. Now that I've strayed away from the topic.. A BRAT, rescue or retired show dog might be the best fit for you! I know of several breeders who will sell their retired show dogs because they simply can't keep them all. Before I got my first B I looked into purchasing a finished champion to learn how to show dogs with but ended up with a puppy.

    @agilebasenji: You really, really do not want to bring a puppy home that is younger than 8 weeks old. In many states it is illegal AND the puppy misses out on learning valuble puppy skills, most importantly bite inhibition. Many breeders even suggest taking a new puppy home around 10 weeks. This is SO TRUE!!! 7 wks is way to young to be bring home a puppy and taking it from his/her littermates…. I don't let puppies go till they are 10wks... And please do not just take someone's word for it that there is no Fanconi.... please check it out for yourself. This is not to say that people are not honest.. but as they always say "Buyer Beware".... it is your responsibility to verify. Also were there any other health tests done? As Kathy pointed out, most of the responsible breeders all know each other... so I would have to ask the same thing? Who has 7wk puppies? I have not heard of a litter.....

    @myran: Thh only thing you have to keep in mind that girls go into heat which can be a hassle whining male having to guard and often separate them during the critical period. I have several basenji friends that have 2 even 5 boy´s and it works as they are of different ages puppies are integrated in to the pack when they are less then 12 weeks.But it takes a strong leader males rarely fight to kill more to show who´s the leader and when the other gives up they calm down not so with females they can be really nasty. Are you going to show them and maybe in the future breed then yes a girl but if not i´d choose a boy as it´s cheaper to neuter a boy then sterilize a girl.Especially as you have to let her have one heat before surgery maybe it´s different over there.And as I said before you can have boy´s together that aren´t neutered.But as they´ve mentioned before go with your breeders recommendations. Good Luck,Michelle In the US, price is usually the same for a spay as it is for a neuter…. and usually people opt to spay before the first season in the US.

    My husband was afraid that Cooper was "my" dog at first, but things really evened out after we went through training as a family. Now, Cooper is attached to me during the day (when I have days off), and glues himself to Geoff after dinner every night. He still walks and rides in the car better with me, though. And I'm the only one who can brush his teeth!

    The individual pics are great and they are not on this site anywhere, just group shots of the same pups. Lady's and Isabelle's. They are just the cutest little things. I've picked the one I want :D Unfortunately there just isn't anymore room in the inn. Ashley
