Wow, Max is huge!
I have seen a lot a fairly small basenji's at dog shows too. One had smaller ears, not the radar dishes they carry now!
No offense (mine has them too)
Yeah, Max can can double as a tv sat dish.:D

I love the one peeking in from the window…'hey watcha doin' in there'
That's Max's half sister Penny, she's a big gal too…...26lbs and not an ounce of fat.

Both are great looking dogs. Max looks really lovable!
Do judges frown on larger dogs or do they just judge how they are put together and move?

Well, in his defense, the way he is holding them at half mast makes the ears look even bigger.

Max is way off breed standard because of size, we never showed him. You could show him, I don't know how successful you'd be.

This is Max's dad you can check the pedigree. Max's litter is listed several down the line, he is registered Timar's glittering image. Notice his brother is a Canadian champion, he's a big B too, not as big as Max.

BasenjiBoy- I can't believe Max is going to beat out Miles!! Miles is 32.5lbs!! Dang… I thought we had you beat!! Miles has put added 10% of his body weight since we rescued him. I still think he could stand to add another pound or two. You can still see his ribs when he moves- but he's at a good weight now. No fat, that's for sure.
Lexi's still small at 18lbs.

We'd be thrilled!:) I'd love to see you all again.
It would be interesting to see if he'd remember us or maybe this place.;)

By the way, a good judge of weight is to be able to see the ribs when they move… obviously not sticking out... but you should be able to see them

I think that's a good pic to see the size difference between Lexi and Miles. Miles is just a solid, good looking boy. I don't know if he fits the standard, but IMO, he should be THE standard… :) hheheheheheheAnd one of my favs... (even though his coat was still recovering here)

People at the park often say my Garrett is big for a basenji. He is 18in tall and 25lbs. As far as standard stuff goes he's kind of a mess…big ears, black eyeliner, dew claws, round eyes, shaggy neck/side burns & a few scars on his muzzle. Although I always say what he lacks in looks he has in personality he's a easy going boy that gives me little to no trouble.
