    For your 13 month old, how is her weight? Can you just faintly see her ribs? Does she have a nice waist? There is really no "set" amount, each dog is different in built. How tall is your 13 month? For your puppy, what did your breeder tell you? That is your best source? Personally I like to keep a puppy a bit on the "plump" side till 4 months or so… I have had experiences with a puppy getting sick and had he not carried a bit more weight, we would have lost him. But again, your breeder should be your best resource.... And what kind of food are you feeding? The better quality food the better for the dog...

    A couple thoughts to welcome baseni_fan to our pack: Hold on… it's gonna be the wildest ride you have ever been on! Think of it like parenthood: you can read all the books and listen to all the sage advice... but nothing can really prepare for the real thing! Older dogs bond fantastically.. our Rock was over 3 when he came to our home... and our lives were never the same. In a very short time, he became very loyal and bonded to our pack. Each dog is different. I truly think they choose us. Enjoy the hunt! This is a fantastic breed... but be prepared. They can also be the most infuriating. grin I think that is half the fun. I love having a dog that makes me think. Best of luck to you and your future pup (be it old or young)! Welcome to the crazy (dog)house!

    @lvoss: I PM'd you with contact information for Asil's Walkabout by ElDorado's breeder. I really urge you to contact her about the history of the dog. It is good that you are doing the research now so you can get a puppy that you will enjoy for a long time to come from a breeder who will be there to support you through all the ups and downs of basenji ownership. There are many resources availalbe through this forum to help you find a responsibly bred puppy. I e mailed her after I got your IM. Hope to hear back from her in the next day or so.
