Go figure…. that's a Basenji for ya'. Always pulling a "fast one". Predictable is NOT a Basenji trait for sure!!! Guess that goes the same when it comes to laboring... LOL;) I am looking forward to seeing these cuties, too!

Ha! So true! I raced home from work, because they told me she was starting to nest and whining, so what does she do when I come home? GO TO SLEEP, ALL NIGHT! Nothing yet, I'm sorry to say. I hope to have something soon. Lisa if she doesn't go by Friday, I will take her in. Unless the puppies stop moving before then, or I don't hear heartbeats. Although last night at least three were rolling around separately. It's funny to see heads and feet stuck out an inch past the girls' ribs. Oh, the joys! I will keep you updated!

Thank you everyone. Thank you Lisa for posting the pics, along with my roadkill pics! Aren't they lovely? So here's how it went.
She started at about 10:50 am with the water, it took her about 15 min to pass it through the canal, and she did break it herself (good girl). I was on tenterhooks as I hadn't done this in about 20 years or so. Sue got there just as the action was starting. Tri girl #1, 8 oz, was very tight. Sugar thrashed a bit, tried to bite (typical, it hurts), but once we got a hand on the puppy and got it over the belly she was okay (all were feet first). While we were cleaning up #1, she was in the box having #2 red girl, 8 oz. then she took a little rest, the puppies nursed a bit, and then we returned to having more puppies. #3 red boy, 9 oz, took a little bit more from her, and then #4 red boy 8 oz. was the final. It went pretty quick. After we tied the cord on the one boy, she went back and chewed it a little closer, should be okay though. She's definitely a cleaner. She pretty much stays with them in the whelping box. They all seem to be nicely marked, but one #4 has a small dot of colour inside his white collar.

The most amazing thing that I find with the white, is that it stays the same size… so when you think that you have a blaze on the face... turns out to be nothing but a thin strip or nothing at all.... same with the collar.....
So that "dot" inside the white collar will get bigger...ggg

There are lots of basenjis with spots of color in their collars. Most owners find them endearing. Arubmec's Sweet Spot got his name because of the spot in his collar. Nicky has a large spot of color in his collar, we call it his Georgia Peach.
I thought the "road kill" pictures were cute.

I really do like them all. The markings are nice on all of them, pretty uniform for the most part. It will be hard deciding which one to keep. I know the tri girl is gone, but I have some others that wanted a tri as well. I know I wanted a red, but now I don't know boy or girl! His spot is pretty big now in comparison to his size, so I'm not sure if it will get bigger or the white will overtake most of it. The have some pretty interesting faces as well. At the end of the week, I will post pics of them and their faces too.

The white stays the same size, the colored spot will get bigger.
