Meet Amelia (and her mommy) !

    Hello Basenji Owners!

    I recently rescued my puppy, Amelia, from the Humane Society last month. She is now 5 months old. I chose her because of her one blue and one brown eye! She was so playful, energetic and quite the cuddler!!

    After much research, I think I have concluded that Amelia is a Basenji mix. She has the ears, the forehead wrinkles and the coloring, but she is missing that distinct curly tail! I adopted her having no idea what she was and having never heard of the Basenji breed. This is all new to me!

    If anybody has any advice or insight, please share! Does she look like a Basenji to you? What is the temperament of your Basenji?

    Thank you!

    Casey (Amelia's Mom)

    @CrazyBasenjiMom said in Hey there! Meet Tars!: He mostly basenji, but not full, he doesn't have the ears, t he tails a give away too, is it curly? 23 is kinda heavey for a Basenji full grown, I wish 23 was heavy for a full grown Basenji, but it really is not. In fact it's in the middle with many weighing much more. I have seen some pretty large poorly bred, but also some big ones who were largely African years ago in NC at the nationals. I have seen a lot of basenjis whose tails were not right also, so that doesn't eliminate being basenji. But obviously no way to know for sure. I'd go with mix also, especially if those ears aren't fully erect soon. In ears...they SHOULD be up... but that isn't always true even of registered basenjis: https://www.basenji.org/african/lubb0001.htm One major break from the early development trend is African puppy ears. Both domestic & 3/8 litters had upright ears in approximately a week, while the Africans took much longer. In fact, 2 puppies went to their new homes at 15 weeks of age and their ears were not consistently up although they did finally come up; Roos between 17 & 18 weeks and Roosters by 4 months. <<

    It was nice of you to adopt him anyway (even if no basenji in him). Cute looking nevertheless.

    Yes, you have really worked hard to do right by Medjai. He is lucky to have an owner willing to work so hard to stay up to date and in touch with the basenji community to provide the best for him.
