@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

Hi All!!
I've just started fostering dogs for a rescue group in Northern Idaho. My first is a 12wk old pup named Ruger. Basenji is a rare find in Northern Idaho, and most of the other fosters say Ruger is german shepherd mix with maybe hound. I don't see it, & I have had GSD all my life. This guy doesn't bark at all. Squirrels, cats, mules, other small barking dogs..... not a peep. But he does like to posture like a rabbit and leap onto moths. (See photo of posture) He made one small sequel and single bark last night in his crate. His tail doesn't curl tightly, but does curl when he is curious about something. Cute guy! Tell me what you think. Thanks! -
Cute pup, but I'm not sure about Basenji. I would like to see side on pictures standing. How tall is he and how much does he weigh?

Agree with eeefarm... how big, side view. Whatever .. that's one cute pup!

His height is 20". That's too big, right? -
One more -
@lindy said in Fostering a pup that looks like Basenji:
His height is 20". That's too big, right?Yes, too big. Should be 16 - 17" at the shoulder. Possibly a mix, but only a DNA test will tell you for sure.
