    Again, I urge you to look for more health testing then just Fanconi. While that is of course important, it is not the only problem we have in our breed.

    And as a breeder, you have to ask yourself, what does this dog/bitch has to offer the breed? Breeders breed to improve the breed, not to just produce puppies. While it is not a must that you show your dogs, it is the best way to get other opinions if you are breeding to the Basenji Standard not only in conformation, but health and temperament. Same with performance events, while not a must, again it is a great way to know if you are breeding to the Basenji Standard.

    Will these pups be AKC registered? Does she sell with a spay/neuter contract? These are all legit questions and ones included in the link that I sent you which was developed by The Basenji Club of America (Parent Breed Club).

    I know too many puppies and dogs injured or killed due to collars left on unattended. Not worth the risk.

    @creambasenji said in New Puppy Advice: She's 9 months and 8.5 pounds. Doesn't seem she will be getting any bigger This must be a typo. 9 months or 9 weeks? At any rate, I'd love to see a picture of a cream Basenji, toy or not.

    Exactly, and if you can't get the food, then get some good probiotic like fastrack and give it with meals… will probably be fine. :)

    Ditto to most of above and I'm going to add the one factor that may be an issue - room-mates mean more people to leave the door open or not close it fast enough. They will bolt quickly and don't do the 'come' stuff very well when bunnies and outdoor smells call them. Visitors and beverages - for some reason college students dogs and beer always seem to get mixed up - these folks may be ok but if you ever have social gatherings with beverages - that could be an issue that could also lead to careless door issues. (while it has been a 'few' years since I was a college student - I think I remember it pretty well)
