    Brindles were very contraversial in this country when they first arrived. The Kennel Club wouldn't acknowledge the colour and it wasn't admitted into the Standard for quite a while. One brave judge gave a CC to a brindle, before it was a recognised colour. I admit I wasn't keen on it, but surprised myself in Germany when I judged their specialty, by finding brindles for many of my top winners. Heads were universally better in them and movement was (almost) back to true Basenji gait. Something rarely seen these days, anywhere. And I have judged in quite a few countries. . . I put it down to the fact that, as they were very recent imports from Africa, humans had had fewer generations to mess about with them and they were still far closer to the old fashioned Basenjis I prefer !

    Lovely pictures. It's good to see a Basenji climbing a tree again. One of mine used to go after squirrels up trees too. Fancy Bowdu spoiling her fun!!
  • I'm too good for that!

    @Basenjimamma: she is sooo cute..I am glad all things have worked out for her and that she has the best mum in the whole wide world :) She is one lucky pup, noone expected her to still be with us so she's very special! And Maya is just the best mum, endlessly tolerant of Evie's pulling, chewing, biting and playing :rolleyes: @Shaye's: Evie is a doll! I'll bet the big outside world is just wonderful for her - love the field of passing dandeliions. It was a bit overwhelming this time I think, but i bet she'll be loving it in no time :D @vickilb: The clover are almost as tall as her!!!! So glad her Mum is ever-vigilant and won't allow any harm to come to her! She really seems to be raising her right!!!:):) Well… Maya did let herself down when she spotted her great dane and pointer friends at the other end of the field :o Galloped off to play with them and left Evie with me! But, the rest of the time she was vigilant as ever :D @Patty: Lovely pictures. Evie is a little love. She is obviously going to be one bold, brave Chi. Maya is raising her right!! She is certainly looking to be very outgoing at the moment :D I hate those nervous, yappy chi's!

    Ono is a Hawaiian word, used to describe something that is 'the best' AND happens to be very basenji appropriate :) We hesitated naming her something that so strongly resembled 'no' but we don't use 'no' very much in our training, we say 'hey' to get their attention and then give them another cue to follow when we are redirecting their behaviour. The pups love the huge costco bed, and I love the great cedar smell :)
