@daureen - I will also say that my C-Me picked me... note however that most all responsible breeders will pick the pup for the home.. this is why breeders want to know all about the home/family/lifestyle, we want them to be in their forever homes... that said there are exceptions.. in my case this was a puppy back from a breeding... I had the choice of the 5 bitches in the litter but from the moment that I went in the house, this was the pup that came to me and didn't want to leave. LOL... and in some cases there could be two that are about the same and would fit the family... then they have a choice. My C-Me was a great choice and while there were others in the litter that was maybe a bit nicer as a show puppy, but I could not turn away from this girl that picked me... She is a Dual Champion and whelped a wonderful litter... And she is a loving girl to all in the family
New here from Ca with a Basenji/chi mi

Hey everyone. I have a new rescue, Chumley. He is a 10 month-old, chocolate and white Basenji/chihuahua mix. He not only talks constantly, he barks like a chihuahua, too. Noisy little guy. lol I've only had him a month and he's captured my heart. I grew up with a Basenji back in the 1960's, Jodi was the smartest, most ornery, and absolutely the most incredible dog I have ever met. I am so glad to find another of these wonderful dogs, even if he isn't full Basenji.

Hello and welcome! Great to have you joining in on the fun and education here. Do you have any pictures of Chumley? We love seeing pictures!
I know I love all of the characteristics of my basenji. Thankfully we don't see a lot of ornery attitude, but smartness? Yes!

Welcome, also from California!
Ditto on wanting to see pictures.
Chumley's a cute name. -
Welcome to the forum. Is Chumley chihuahua sized?

Thank you for the welcome.
Welcome to the forum. Is Chumley chihuahua sized?
He's sort of in-between sized. He's gained a few pounds since I got him, he needed some weight on. He's now 12 pounds, 11 1/2 inches tall at the shoulder.
I put pics up in the Show Off Your Dog forum
