I got Nugget from a breeder last December. She was 11 months old and had Hookworms which it took a long time to treat. she was a handful. not a treat dog sooooo training was hard.
Welcome to the forum - can you tell us the parents and birthday of Nugget so I can be sure such a handsome girl is included in the on-line Basenji pedigree database (see signature block and post me direct per email if you prefer) -
@lynnecnm - You should have your pup DNA tested for Fanconi, it is a cheek swab test that you do and cost 65.00. You can order the test at www.ofa.org and welcome to the Forum!
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.
