I agree - the only time I have over weight basenjis is when someone has a false pregnancy. I also have a question about the retained dew claws in the picture.
It's my experience that most of us remove dew claws. But I see that they remain in the picture - so that leads me to another question - is everyone still removing dew claws or not? I know that many times I guage the relative quality of the dog in rescue and the decision on trying to find the breeder on if there are dew claws or not - but if many ,other than BYB and PM's, are leaving them on guess I can't use that - so - folks - chime in. Your basenji dew claws on or not?
My Podengos came to me with dew claws on the front intact but it is because like many FCI countries they don't dock, clip etc.
