@donc - Not true that breeders traditionally breed for conformation only. Breeders (responsible breeders) breed for health, temperament and conformation. Health/temperament is at the top of the list. Breeders do of course look for certain conformation but that does not exclude Health & Temperament.
Kinetic Breeding Plans

Are you going to bring her to your house to whelp, or will she stay at your mom's?
-
We sent TC to my mom's house to whelp because it is much more relaxing for her to be in a house with two boys than in my house with 3 girls who definitely feel she is not pack. My mom is co-breeding the litter. I have already taken time off work so I can fly down and help with the whelping and have planned on several weekends down there including the holidays.

Sounds like a great plan

Yeah, TC is really enjoying it. Today was a chilly day in So Cal so my mom got out the jackets to make sure no one was cold on their walk. I think TC's jacket accentuates her belly.

What a great jacket… where did those jackets come from, I really like the style.. very simple.
-
She is lovely, hope all goes well and we have puppy pics soon.
-
OMG! I think Magnum is pregnant! He looks very similar to TC's latest picture!
Hold up…I think he's just chubby!
Magnum says: I'm not fat, I'm phat...and a little bit phluffy!
Hope all goes well, Ivoss! Sending best wishes your way!

My mom got the jacket from Luxor Basenjis last year. http://www.luxorbasenjis.com/index.html

Oh my, TC is getting huge! Poor girl is really a petite little thing, and now she looks like a beached Orca whale.
-
When is she due?
-
She is due October 31st.
-
So, she will get a bit bigger?
-
Oh she looks enormous!!! How exciting!!
Best of luck with it all, she is beautiful!!
-
Haha.. she IS huge..
I hope the last week won't take forever…. Those last days are always the slowest to go by..
-
You know we're going to expect live updates, right?

You're right! Forgot to say: WE WANT PICS!!

Yes, she will get even bigger this week. At this point the puppies are doing lots of growing. Her x-ray appointment is 1 week from today and then we should have a good idea of how many we will be delivering.
I will do my best to post lots of pictures of the newborns. Everyone can also check the blog on October 31st, http://www.basenjinet.net/08litterblog/ for updates.

Is this her first litter? I hope all goes well. Give her a little belly rub from us
-
This will be TC's second litter. She had 5 pups in her first litter.
