Dulcie is a sweet, affable, occasionally silly Basenji girl who enjoys visitors and meeting new people.  She is not "hyper" and enjoys yard time and couch time in equal measure!  Dulcie is also a cuddle-bug, and will curl up on a vacant lap if given the opportunity.  In the show ring, Dulcie's strengths are her lovely open side-movement,  feminine type,  correct size and proper angulation.    She is also, of course, a much-loved member of the New World household....
