This is Max (Timar's Glittering Image) and Cleo (Akuaba's Sandalwood) , both are 5/8 African. Max is from Avongara Imba Tena (Fido)[/Bhttp://www.basenji.org/african/ImbaTena.htm[/URL]
and Cleo from Avongara Sineri (Woody).
Max is a big dog, 19.5 inches at the shoulder and 36 lbs. Cleo is a saddle, a dark marking across the top of her back, not to breed standard for a brindle. Check out the Avongara link.
Both Fido and Woody are from Avongara M'Bliki & Diagba pairing
They are both beautiful. Who is their breeder?
Cleo may not be standard to breed but she is really interesting looking, and Max is also beautiful and you are right he is a big dog. I have one B and she is my baby as well, my only son is in the Marines. So my hubby talked me into getting a house dog. I am so glad I did, b/c she is my baby girl, and we both love her sooooo much, she has brought us so much joy, and we have spoiled her rotten. Her name is Sahara and her picture is on the Show Off section. Hope to see more pics soon, and welcome to the forum.:D
Thanks for the welcome and we just love our Basneji's as well. Our children are grown up so these Basenji's are our children, we spoil them rotten. We even have a sign on our door that states, "spoiled rotten dogs live here".;)
I'm sure many long time Basenji people will tell you it won't be long till you consider another dog to go along with that little girl Basenji!:eek: They do so well with another, it's almost hard for me to imagine having just one…..like potato chips.:)
I will have to get caught up with all these pictures, and stories.......this is a great forum for Basenji owners....and we are special, cause our dogs are "special'!!!!
They are both beautiful. Who is their breeder?
Max was bred by Jean Martin..Timar Basenji's and Cleo by Susan Coe..Akuaba Basenji's. We have four other's that are from Kisa kennels, my wife travels and shows dogs with Kim Byrd up and down the east coast. Susan has since moved to the land down under.
Lovely dogs, from great breeders! Thanks for sharing these pics!

I've learned so much since we've had our B's, it's a great group of unique owners/breeders and very unique dogs. I am thankful to both of those Ladies for setting my wife and I on the Basenji path.
They are absolutely beautiful. I love the "saddle" marking. I think they are perfect!

I love the Africans, they're different to be sure. They certainly aren't for everyone, very independent.
