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.
New pics of Frankie and Johnny

Here are some new pics of Frankie and Johnny Born Dec 2. Frankie is really FrankieBas***d and Johnny is just one chill dude. Johnny is going to live with my daughter and Frankie will stay here. Pic 4 and 5 is with Shadow and pic 7 is with Damisi their mother. Pic 9 is with Sugar. Their heads aren't my style, but they are workable.

Lovely, thanks for sharing.
-
Lovely pics, which one is Frankie and which is Johnny?
-
Hmm i am guessing Frankie is the Tri ?? Am i right ?
-
They look really nice! Love the tri!
-
Nice little pack you have there.
-
Very nice. I think they are adorable.
What do you mean their heads aren't your "style"?
Just curious as I sometimes see basenjis out and about and they look different, more narrow in their face, or more boxy or something like that. -
I prefer an 'older' style of head. It's a little boxy, these guys, I find, have more pointy snouts. That may change, but I don't know.
Yes, Frankie is the tri.
-
Thanks Arlene..
I understand the boxy comment, because I tend to agree with you..I have a foster right now that has a very pointy face, and I really like when the faces are thicker..
Otis is narrow, but not as pointy if that makes sense. -
I figured cuz the "nicname" he has LOL
-
Yeah, tri_ baaaaaaad!. Frankie kept escaping again, so he was out all day with me-they both were actually- in separate crates. Frankie settled down quickly, Johnny kicked up a fuss for awhile, then settled down. Now, just to crate them in the house. That will be later on this evening when my sons' both wake up and leave!
