Hi Vickayx, First let me say Dolce looks adorable. Her white face only makes her look distinguishd. As far as I can determine the only thing mentioned in Basenji Standards is that white should not predominate for her overall appearance and from what you have written you really dont seem to be planning on showing anyway. Years ago I bred Rodesians to show but as I got older I decided that what I wanted most was a little snuggle bug and went to rescue B's. spacicfically those who had had a hard life before me. We now have 2 four legged children who are always rooing to show how happy they are. Enjoy your new baby and remember to try and not let her know she is smarted.
Our Sweet 'Pi

Oh, how precious! I watched a couple of your other clips too…. I really smiled watching Bowdu talk to you (when your giving Bowpi affection on the futon!)
A great way to start a Monday!

Lovely lovey post. And the video was adorable
-
Love it, how sweet. Thank you for sharing them with us.
-
What sweeties they are! Thanks.
-
What lovely pictures.

Bowpi really is so precious!
I know that feeling of excitement you get over little things that others might see as an everyday occurrence, but for rescues it's a huge leap. I love seeing them blossom. -
Thanks so much for sharing! I giggled like a 4 year old when she was flailing her paws - what a sweetheart. I'm gonna have to go watch some more of your clips, I think.

Had a nice walk around the lake in the hills today. This is becoming my favorite dog park, though it's a bit out of the way (still within city limits, but up some steeeep roads with lots of twists and turns).
If I could ever get them to sit-stay at that bridge, this would be such a scenic shot. But obviously, they're not interested in staying still.
This is not the most flattering angle of Bowpi, but I was so impressed by her sticky spider feet – I didn't know Basenjis could cling to precipices at 80-degree angles! It is not a very tall drop -- she would've landed in the water about four feet below if she lost her foothold. But she didn't.
Lots of stuff in the trees, too. -
What a wonderful park! And yes, basenjis can cling to anything to keep from falling into water! Thanks for sharing these great photos.

What a beautiful dog park!!!!

I just realized I called it a "dog park" when it's really just a park. Apparently in my mind, if a park is dog-friendly (specifically, if you're permitted to let them run around off leash), it's automatically for the dogs. Human enjoyment is only incidental. laugh

I love the pictures!!!
