@jengosmonkey Thank you!
She loves food, new people (cautiously) and other dogs (at the moment!). She spends a lot of time sitting on the back of the sofa (in the photos) looking out of the bay window to see what's going on. We have 3 schools at the end of our road so there's plenty to see with the comings and goings.
She doesn't like traveling in the car, going out in the wet to use the toilet, being moved when sleeping and being picked up to do something she doesn't want to do. Luckily she is very food driven so we use that to our advantage! She hates being left alone even within the house.
She is mischievous and enjoys stealing things from around the house and getting chased to retrieve them! She is constantly trying to play fight with us. I have an 8 and 14 yr old sons and she is particularly playful with the 8 year old.
She hasn't yodeled yet, but does a singing noise when she yawns and growls or cries when she isn't happy.

@zande I did share your website with Mick Mcgee the other week, so hopefully he will be in touch. I am in touch with the owners of Ellie's siblings so will ask them too.

There is mischief in those eyes !
I was thinking the same thing! You can tell as soon as she's able, she's going out to explore.
Pretty girl, bet she's fun!

So cute. Love the mix of being an adult but still a puppy.
Both shots are great but I like the first pic better. The second has too much dead space behind the butt, so everything of interest is in the right half of the frame and the pic is a bit static. In the first pic the outstretched right leg comes out of the frame and draws you in.
Lovely.

@jkent What a beautiful girl.
-
Ohh she is such a pretty girl
-
@donc I crop photos, remove dead space and humans so only the dog fills the picture . Heads look better side on than full front !
-
@zande I think the front view shows the beauty but the side view the character!

@jkent I love the way she is interested in something out of the window.

@zande she loves sitting on the back of that sofa monitoring what's going on outside!

Basenjis like to see outside. Mine would sit on the back of sofas as yours is, until I moved to a home with large floor to ceiling windows, which turned out to be very popular. What Basenjis do not like is to have their view impeded. I had blinds that suffered until I figured that out. I had to keep them up high enough that my boy could see under them, or he would attack them.
"In order to get along with a Basenji, you have to be at least half as smart as the dog!"

@eeeefarm we have floor to ceiling doors at the back of the house, but she prefers the front bay window as there is more going on on the road than the garden!!

Your little Ellie has the most beautiful wrinkles!!!! I just adore her face!
-
@jkent What a fabulous windowsill! Just her size!!
-
@jkent - This is a perfect place for a Basenji.... LOL

@JKent I just love her color pattern. Any chance of seeing her left side profile? I’d like to see the left side of her neck and across her back. Just love that spot on her right. 🥰

@jkent
Her coloring and patterning are beautiful. She is an absolute GORGEOUS Basenji!️
Just lovely!
