Description BIG FILE WARNING!

Alright, I'm happy now. I submitted the red one. Here's the scores:

Breed Resemblance average - 7.8
Outline average - 8.7
Coloring average - 8.5
Shading average - 8.4
Anatomy average - 7.6
Detail average - 8.2
Quality average - 8.5
Overall average - 8.2

The colors:

Red & white, black & white, tricolor (black, tan, & white).
Brindle & white, blue fawn/cream & white, saddled red & white.
Saddled brindle & white, trindle (black, brindle, & white), capped tricolor.

I went with a completely different idea this time, and I really like the result. I used a ref, but I can't remember where I found it. ^.^' I like the bells, which are traditional for the breed. Hunters in Africa would tie wooden bells around their dogs' necks to keep track of them because Basenjis don't bark (or at least not normally, there will occasionaly be one who does). I'm only planning to submit the first four, as I doubt they would accept the rarer colors.

Did you know that in dog shows, the judges are biased towards reds because they are the "original?" It is very rare that a tri or brindle win. Most judges dislike trindles. These are great! And accurate! Great job!

Awh, I have a Tricolor, she loves to bug my grandpas dog. So she stays in my room alot but boy is she hyper. x3 Oh, and Kharma(my basenji) does bark but only like 1 every few minutes if she starts 'barking' its usually at my cat. Either way they're a sweet breed

Oh I love the red and white, and the tri... I owned a Red and White male up until Saint Patrics day of this year... he died at the ripe old age of 15... now I am the mommy of a 9mo Tri-color female... I'll have to upload summore pictures of her into my gallery so you can see them if you want...

Awww gosh more Basenjis!! I'm glad you got accepted for this one, cause it's amazing! I love how you have them posed midrun, it really captures the senji look I think. I especially adore the tri again, I have such a softspot for them. And I like the little bells!

oh neat! I like those a little better than the last set you did. I love the pose and those bells are interesting. My aunt has a basenji. She says they are a very *tough* breed to own of some reasons. Her first one died of some weird disease. :/

Hey! Not my art to reply to comments, but I am a basenji person and I would like to congratulate you for knowing about the breed. Not many people do. Also, just realized this is from 2006! I'm a little late!

According to what I've read,
Basenjis are more cat-like than the
average dog. Is that true?

Yep, sure is. ^.^

They groom themselves like cats and usually don't like water. I have seen a couple of pictures of 'Senjis in water, but it's a rare thing. I've seen more of wet Basenjis sulking on bushes. XD
