I'm Nate. My wife and I have had our Basenji for a little over a year now. He's named Sam and we rescued him out here in Germany. I'm just here to gather more tips on Basenji's and also spread my experience of him/them as well. Thanks!
I think they just look solid so my mind saw "bigger." I have one of the Wimaumau rescue giants (44 pounds), but even my 2 previous gals were far from petite... about 26 to 28 pounds. My dream of a petite 18 pound basenji just never happened, lol.
What a sweet face! Thank you for taking her in, she needs a forever home.
As Pat indicated, unless you have info on the parents being clear, or at least one clear, she should be tested for Fanconi asap.
