    Well in 7 weeks time I will be bringing home my new B. She is going to be called Belle aka Mutabaruga Inner Circle at Gooses. All I have to do is pick one as I have got pick of the bitches! My only problem is that she had 2 R/W & 2 Brindle bitches and if I like one of each colour which do i go for. I have never had a brindle so in some ways it would be nice but they are not so popular in the show ring in the UK so I don't know hmmm. I think I will just have to wait until I see them till I decide. I just know that the next 7 weeks are going to drag.:(

    How exciting!!! Congrats!! They are all beautiful pups, I can't imagine how hard it would be to choose. I just went and looked at the pups on Noel's site, hard choice, I don't think I would be able to choose. When do you go to meet them?

    congrats on your "pending" new puppy…. I am sure that your breeder will help you make the right choice when you get there.... I just look at her website also, lovely pups....

    They are all so cute. My favorite is the little brindle girl with the little white stripe. She is so cute! Congrats and good luck picking just one!

    In your position, where you really have to take her out a lot, I understand. And I hope her comfort continues. My point was it is situational need, not dog need to be that social. :) I have a slim chance of that having worked with my current 2, but with my incredibly dog aggressive first one, I'd have been out in a basket muzzle and warning everyone to keep their dogs away.

    thanks all!! Jenson and Kalusha both have a "rest-day" today, jenson was very active in the woods the last couple of days, so his limping got a bit worse, and Kalusha was totaly confused yesterday, so time out for one day for them both! @curlytails: That's also very chilling to hear about the Ibizans getting stolen. I hate to wonder about the kind of black market that deals in stolen pedigree dogs. I imagine the burglars targeted the breeder specifically for her dogs? Seems like your everyday thief would find it too difficult to make off with live loot! well the "raterno's"that were also stolen is not even an official recognized dog, only in spain they are recognized as far as I know, and the Ibizans are not of high value there as well as they are quite common type of dog, ofcourse the pedigreed ibizans are rare, even in spain, but they did not steel the pedigrees with them, so we have really no clue why they have been stolen and it really looks like they knew what they were after because they targeted this breeder indeed. It makes it even worse that these 2 male ibizans were from their last litter, they are older people and did not want to breed anymore and now these last pups are stolen :(

    What great news - she is obviously settling well. Although Basenjis have often been house trained before leaving the breeder they do sometimes regress in a new home and I'm sure you'll find Malaika very clean.

    Just be aware that every line and each individual are different and that you really need to keep your eyes and hands on your puppy/dog to judge whether they are at a good weight and adjust accordingly. Basenjis naturally gain most of their height by 6-8 months usually only gaining another inch or so after that. They tend to be slower to fill out sometimes taking 2-3 years to reach full maturity. The percentage of HD in the breed is just over 3% and in basenjis the most important risk factor is family inheritance. The best way to predict your puppy's risk is to have vertical pedigree data.
