I cannot imagine committing to buy a puppy without seeing the animal and if possible the sire and dam. OTOH, a rescue (or adoption of an older dog) is a different thing. My last two Basenjis came to me sight unseen, and turned out to be wonderful dogs, but the breeders I got them from wanted to place their dogs in an experienced Basenji home, and I only paid the cost of getting the dogs to me. One came by air, one was personally transported to me by his breeder. If she hadn't been happy with what she found I expect she would have taken him back with her when she left. I also had to commit to return him if ever I couldn't keep him. Good breeders care about where their dogs end up.

No basenjis, but I like stylization.

Really nice.

I agree - great style! A little 'out there' to make them unique, but still very good representation of the dogs. Yes, too bad no basenjis.

i contacted the artist, Elle Wilson, and requested some Basenji artwork to represent the breed!! she wants to see photos that help show the spirit of the Basenji. anyone have any good pictures that she could use as a guideline to go off of? what kind of stance would be good? i think a Basenji ball of fur is def. a must.

She must be able to do a google image search?
