Ask the breeder how big the sire and dam are. That's a good idea. My first basenji, who was a champion, weighed nearly 26 pounds when she matured. My 2nd one would have been about that, but thanks to steroids, we did good to keep her at 30. My current rescue is a giant. We won't go there. I first dreamed of a SMALL dog, maybe 15 pounds tops after years of being a BIG DOG person (rottweilers and chows). I don't see that ever happening.
My New Baby…

She looks lovely saba, your very lucky.
If your looking for other V names - my foundation dobe bitch was called Varri - originally she was called Mhairi (the gaelic version of Mary or Marie) but its pronounced Varri, and we eventually got fed up spelling and explaining her name that we just reverted to writing it as Varri anyway….she won a CC at Crufts, so maybe it would be a lucky name!
cheers

Scott,
Im just curious as to how you would pronounce the name Varri… Would it be Varri like Harry, or like Vaaaaari, if you get what I mean ??? It is a lovely name...
-
Thanks for the lovely comments, everybody… I think she just might be a bit special too !!!
Im so lucky that Kylie has allowed these gorgeous dogs into my life/home... They are such a fascinating breed, and its impossible to just stop at one
Veesha is up in the top 2 names at the moment, the only thing I worry about, is it a bit of a mouthful ??? Both daughters like that name the best, but, luckily I have the final say in this house about all the dogs names, ACD's and the B's..............................SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH dont let my hubby hear me say that :D:D

Its pronounced with a hard a, like Harry - but you can pronounce it any way you want i suppose - my very first dobe was called Britta - which should be pronounced as in pitta, but we always said Breeta….i think i have confused myself now..

Pretty baby!!
Im no good with names so wont go there
-
What a cute puppy! I'm sure her name will come to you.
-
You are so lucky. What an adorable pup.
-
Beautiful puppy! Can anyone resist a Basenji puppy? I doubt it. I remember when I got my first Basenji puppy May 1975 and 1 ear was flopped and the other was up.
-
She's so cute. Makes me want to hold a puppy right now.
-
She is very cute…. Congrats!!!!
-
She is very cute…..
When does she arrive at your home??? (or did I read passed that?)
-
Oh, she is absolutly cute. I remember it is just few month that Mody was so little baby. Good luck with your newest sweetheart!I am sure she will grow into beautifull basenji lady. Keep sharing pics how she grows, please.
-
OMG, she's so cute…I bet you can't wait to take her home. :D:D:D
-
Well wishes for you and your new pup. I can't even remember when my 2 were that small–only that they smelled real good!!
Pretty pup. Thanks for the pics.
-
Very very cute!
Name with V eh? A suggestion from me: Vasita: Group of Hindu Goddesses. Vasita means willpower.
Was one of my picks if I got a bitch, but my Basenji turned out a boy so….
I'm not Hindu, just liked the sound and the meaning of it. Anyways, feel free to use it if you like it!

I love Basenjis, especially puppies. My B, Sahara is red & white, so of course I am parcel to these. I like the V names, Vega meaning Falling Star, Vashti, meaning very beautiful, and Victoria, meaning Great lake of Africa. I really like Africian names, hence my B name Sahara, her full name is Africian Queen Sahara, like the Sahara Dessert in Africa.
-
Soo cute!! Can't wait to see how she looks all grown up! (although puppy pics are great too
:D)I really like the name Veesha!
-
What a beautiful puppy. Sooooo cute! I'm no good at picking names, i get myself tied up in knots, too many choices so good luck. I do like Varri though, nice and short and sweet.
-
Thanks everyone for all the lovely comments :D:D
I cant wait till she arrives, should be sometime, the week after next, I just CANT wait… I am so impatient at the best of times, so this is nearly killing me ;);)
I have already entered her into her first show... She will make her debut at the Royal Launceston Show, in the middle of October... (This is probably the second biggest show held in Tasmania, always with International judges...). We are able to show our babies from 3 months of age, till they hit 6 months, where they are puppies and eligible for points towards their Australian Champion title
Roll on October -

Kylie has sent us so many gorgeous pics of the 2 boys
im hopefully getting my little boy this weekend, managed to talk my boyfriend around hehe just waiting to hear back from Kylie now

Im just waiting for Kylie to get back to me about which day next week I can organise Dogtainers to come and collect her
Im soooooo excited… She had her eyes tested this week, and the results were really good Are you driving up to collect him, or having him flown down ??? Which puppy is he one she has decided on, for you ??? I want to go back to my pics, and have a look at him :D:D. I hope you are going to flood this thread with pics as soon as you get him :D.
