Ask the breeder how big the sire and dam are. That's a good idea. My first basenji, who was a champion, weighed nearly 26 pounds when she matured. My 2nd one would have been about that, but thanks to steroids, we did good to keep her at 30. My current rescue is a giant. We won't go there. I first dreamed of a SMALL dog, maybe 15 pounds tops after years of being a BIG DOG person (rottweilers and chows). I don't see that ever happening.
New Puppy!!!

when we got her… she was a little shakey.. but i was there as soon as they wheeled her in, there were 3 other dogs in kennels on a cart with her.. a beagle, pug, and a white fluffy thing (lol) so she wasnt the only dog.. but after like 3 minutes we had her in the car and i let her out.. after holding her for a few minutes she stopped shaking and was playing with me and the toys i brought for the ride she's been fine ever since.

She is adorable!!! Now I am even more excited to get our pup this week
-
She looks like my Sahara when I got her, so small. I can't believe she was ever that small, haha!! I love the name, seems to suit her, and by the way, I also love that 3rd pic, I would have to frame that one with a black mat.

She is darling! Enjoy her, and I'm betting that in about 2 weeks Rocky will have adopted her, and they will be best buddies.

At least "inbetween" getting chewed on with those little razor blades for teeth:p

She is so beautiful. I get my little girl on the 26th. It's so hard to wait! I was just watching my one year old boy trying to play with the cat today. I can hardly wait to see how he reacts to having a new little sister to play with.

Aren't puppies so cute Then they grow up

She is sooooooo cute!!!!! How is Rocky behaving with her? He looks very calm with her in the pictures.

he wasnt too happy with me, or her, at first… now they play... he can jump on the bed or couch to get away if he wants time to himself...he wont lay next to her yet shes starting to mimic him.. if hes laying in the sun on the couch, she'll lay on the floor with the sun shining in the window.. i think he would like her more if she wasnt into biting everything lol

And until she looses those teeth… there will be lots of times he is not happy with her... but the one nice thing about having an adult B in the house is that he will teach her "biting" manners much better then we humans ever can...
