Hey Brianne,
I'm from Edmonton, too, and I researched the breeders that I found close to home, and I was left pretty unsatisfied… When I do get my Basenji, I'll be buying from a breeder out of province... have you considered looking into breeders from further away? I'm no expert, just a fellow Edmontonian who is interested in B's.
The BCOC has a list of registered breeders - good place to start. Welcome to the forum!!

Soda stomps a little, too. This morning though, he was invited (more like air-lifted, HAHA, he is way too small to get up himself) up onto the bed… and he thought it was time for play, not snoozy cuddles. Little guy starts 'punching' me in the head and shoulders with his little paws to get my attention!
Lucky he's so cute and warm in the mornings or I would have been veeery grumpy about such an awakening.

Hi Robyn - That's awesome, I can't believe how many 'relatives' he has on the forum.

She's so gorgeous, wow. Obviously royalty.

Thanks all!
lvoss - I like that, about him melting in the rain! We took him outside for a bit yesterday, and boy, did it ever take a lot of treats to get him through the slush.
I knew Cole was his sire but I didn't know he had such a strong family connection to your dogs - thank you. He's beautiful and lovely and obviously comes from a long line of sweet basenjis.
The theme for the litter was Dream, so I think we're going to go with Habaris Enchanted Once Upon a Dream. Not entirely sure though!

Thanks everyone!
Marie, I can't believe how confident this little guy is! I'm so thankful I found this forum and took the time to find such a wonderful breeder. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, I mean he has to do SOMETHING bad eventually, right?
Fran, I love that song actually! I keep singing it to him, not sure if he appreciates my beaaaautiful voice. We called him Soda because he is fizzy and fun and bad for your health (because of all the sweetness )

Here are some videos of Soda and our old kitty Jersey being cute. They're pretty boring for everyone except us HA.

He is out of a co-bred litter by Habari Basenjis and Enchanted Basenjis. I flew all the way to Ontario to get him and he was so great on the plane.

Soda has been here since ridiculously early Monday morning, and since then he has been nothing but a joy, we've just been enjoying every second. He always uses his potty box (he sometimes hangs a little over LOL but that's not really his fault) he chews his toys, he cuddles and naps and just is basically the nicest little pup I've ever met. He had his first vet visit yesterday and passed with flying colours and gave the nice lady zero fuss. Thanks to his breeder, he's not afraid of anything or anyone so far. He smells perfect… I didn't realize how much I would like the way he smells! Everyone thinks I'm nuts. He gets along well with the kitties, they're pretty savvy and don't run unless they wanna play. I hate to brag, but I think he may be the cutest widdle puppy in the whole wide world. At least, that's what he tell him!
But anyway... I know what you people want.. PICTURES!! So here you go. After a wholeee year, I finally have my own little lovely to show off.

On a Mission

What do you mean, too big for me??

Dalmatian feeties??

Sleepy boys on ugly couch

Soda LOVES his Sheltie friend Link. He especially loves brushing Linky's long fur… with his teeth.:eek:

Aren't I cute?

I don't know what to think. I'm pretty sure it's a troll.
Can we get the board closed?

Thanks for posting!! I just love their little tails. Gets me every time.
