I'm Nate. My wife and I have had our Basenji for a little over a year now. He's named Sam and we rescued him out here in Germany. I'm just here to gather more tips on Basenji's and also spread my experience of him/them as well. Thanks!
I think they just look solid so my mind saw "bigger." I have one of the Wimaumau rescue giants (44 pounds), but even my 2 previous gals were far from petite... about 26 to 28 pounds. My dream of a petite 18 pound basenji just never happened, lol.
A tired Basenji?!!! Joking apart, I agree with the previous posts. It is really important that she doesn't get something for nothing as Wizard advises make her work for it.
