  • Oh. My. Gosh. How addorable! Now I really want a little brindle. If I had one more square foot of space….:p

  • oooooh… brindles... Here in Holland, there are not so much...

    We've one :D I love them..

    Great pics!

  • Great shots! Love that puppy's face… too cute..

    @Mauigirl: that's not a picture to be ashamed of :)

  • I see no problem at all with the picture, that's why I posted it!!! Party pooper!

    And Sharron, I assume you don't understand the "Lola-sized" part… If I'm right, then here's what I meant. Lola is 11 months; I don't think she'll get much bigger. She's 17 pounds soaking wet after dinner, and the 4 1/2 month old in the picture is the same size as her. I call her my pygmy dog.

  • Yes, I am sorry, I didn't understand your post.
    No harm meant..very cute b's, sorry if I offended.

  • Awh, adorable brindles!

  • Don't let size fool you! Damisi is all of MAYBE 15 inches. She looks really skinny, but weighs in at about 19 lbs. She's a solid little girl. Yours may just be 'lighter boned'.

  • There is so much that goes into weight. My girl Rio is 16.5 inches tall at the withers, and has been since she was about 11 months old or so. She weighed about 17 pounds at 1 year old, was up to about 18 pounds at 2 years old and now at nearly 4 she is hovering right around 20 pound in good weight. So even with height not changing her weight has still flucuated. She was always pretty thin at 1-2 years old, now she is still thin but as she has matured she has filled out and her muscle tone has changed.

    Yes, I am sorry, I didn't understand your post.

    Of course you didn't offend! Don't be silly…

    And as far as Lola's size.... its just PERFECT in my opinion. She still looks like a puppy & has SO much charm & personality for her size. I have always said I would never own a toy breed, but she makes a great toy basenji! Haha. She's my little dogmy!

    Our first Basenji, Seymour, yodeled a lot…sounded like a rooster crowing. Maxx rarely yodeled, but when he did, he sounded like Tim "The Toolman" Taylor from Home Improvements..."r-r-r-r."

    @Kipawa: Jess, I don't think Maya has a problem with weight, either light or too heavy. She looks very good. As long as you know she is eating wel, is healthy and is exercising, don't be too concerned. I realize their IS a standard for the basenji, but they are living beings that can't always match up to a picture in a book. She is a very, very good eater. She LOVES her food and its often more of a problem to keep her weight down as she will steal anything she can get hold of :rolleyes: Since having a basenji I have learned that they are worse thievess even than labradors!! :eek: I was defrosting a chicken last week and noticed it had disappeared from the kitchen worktop.. where do i find it? Outside with Maya and she'd eaten about half of it :rolleyes: She is a pig!! I walk her for about 2 hours a day now, most of which is offlead running (we walk to the horses fields and back each evening so she spends a good hour running around the fields and woods and farmland!) so she has quite a lot of exercise compared to some im sure, but if she didnt have that she would be a little porker cos she eats a lot :p But at the same time, cos she has so much time running around burning calories I do need to make sure her food intake is high enough. She is definately the highest energy dog i've ever had :eek:

    Thanks for the information on Pet Airways. It is certainly a great option for someone wanting to ship and who might be close to their travel destinations. I hope that that expand one day. But certainly I would consider even if I had to drive to LA to pick them up. Glad that all went well and that this wonderful elder basenji has found their forever home. I am sure that Linda E. is just thrilled. And she looks just lovely!!! Kudos for making this happen

    @mauigirl: Should make for an interesting car ride with ALL of us in the van and the boys at opposite ends so they don't bicker over who has bigger balls. Andrew says "I have the biggest ones." Oh wait… you're talking about the dogs. :rolleyes:

    @hdolbow: LOL ! of courseeee!!!! when doesn't rocky make those devil noises!? i really think he is a little demon. lol One of these days I am going to have to tape the sounds she makes. It cracks me up! A little scary for other people, my mother-in-law was scared of her the first time she did it. Anymore I just tell her no and knock it off and she normally does!
