    Hello, my name is Becky Blansett. My kennel name is Epic. I have been by Basenjis for 20 years now.
    My first Basenji was a small red & white bitch named Sheba ( Bella Sheba Wa Umbawa FCH, CD, SC, CGC). Currently I have 4 adult Basenjis in my home, all decendents of Sheba.
    Over the years the Ninjas and I have have competed in Conformation, Lure Coursing, Obedience, Rally, and Agility. Sometimes I am the teacher, sometimes my dog is the teacher. Moses ( DC Epic's In Da Nile SC,RA,NA,NAJ)and I are currently having fun training and competing in Agility.
    On Feb. 21, 2008 my tri bitch, Ola (CH Epic Tri My Best SC), delivered by c-section 4 puppies by Charlie Denslow's dog Merlin ( CAN CH DC Select_Gana Incantation LCM ). There are two red girls, one tri girl, & one tri boy. Merlin is 14 years old. Ola and puppies are doing great.
    Besides doing the dog thing I also enjoy riding and training horses. I have a 9 year old Anglo Arab gelding that I train for Dressage.
    Wish me luck with the puppies!

    Welcome Becky….. I know lots of your "kids" by way of Tracy.... how is she these days?
    And amazing how many of us in the breed came from or are still into horses.... I came from Hunters/Jumpers and then Apps and Quarters...

    Puppy pics will be coming.
    Did the Hunter thing years (years) ago. Had an amazing Appy & showed Quarter horses. Did the race track, breeding farm (love foaling mares), & the Class A Arab Circuit. Love the intelegence & beauty of Arabs. Moses likes to run around in the arena while I ride. He is leary of the horses since one pushed him aside with a big hoof. I don't trust him on trail rides yet.

    @Nicola: Hi Jenny! :D Oh what a shame. :( I was undecided on posting about SKC on the other site, I wish I had done now! Not to worry, we'll meet someday, I'm sure! And of course, I'd love to meet your gang too. I remember hearing someone saying "….Basenji cross" as I was walking by! Who'd have thought it was you! ;) Yes that was probably me lol. Roxy looked very sweet and I'm sure we will meet eventually:D

    Admittedly Basenjis and sheep are a problem. Thank you for such friendly welcomes. I have had some Basenjis who I did eventually manage to 'train'!!? to be safe with sheep and could wander among them and occasionally help to herd, others (including my current pack are killers and can't be left to wander freely where the sheep are. We have a double gate system for visitors. There was a time when I could have taken them all out for walks together but now I take them 3 at a time and my whole day is taken up with exercising dogs. When I get the hang of my digital camera I'll post some piccies. Nomrdggs - I'm not sure I have kept my sanity!!!! Tanza - I have actually seen some of our original imports - and I have attempted to breed as close to the original type as I can. I bred my last litter 4 years ago.

    Sorry, no, I'm in San Diego. But if you ever head South…:D It looks like there's a pretty active club up in your neck of the woods. Maybe they have meetups you could join? Not so much here, that I know of, though a lovely woman I met through Karen has 3 b's in a community near here. We have 2 basenji mixes in our neighborhood that we've discovered (your dog will find those for you if you take her to a dog park or a popular walking area). Congrats again - can't remember if your post said this was your first B, but aren't they just amazing?

    Thank you for your reply Seko. Bandit is 11 weeks this Wednesday 6th Sept. When he turns around bearing his teeth and growling after being told off for being naughty, I point my finger at him saying a LOUD NO!! He doesn't like it, puts his ears back and looks at me. I have bought a clicker and will attempt to train him and my Lowchen "Alfie" together with liver treats. Wish me luck!! Angee
