@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

Hello, newbie, Sunnie here, I am favored to have an excellent breeder near by to answer my questions, however, I would love to hear from any Basenji LOVERS, committed to the breed to answer my thread title.

Puppies at 8wks are usually evaluated for conformation. They should follow the written standard as at 8wks you should be looking at a mini verison of a mature adult
