    She told me that part of what is different about that dog was the richness of the red. It's a deeper color.

    Interesting…never heard that about the red colour before.

  • There was one dog there that really stood out in comparison. The red was practically Irish Setter red. It was a different dog than I was thinking of but it was shown in the judging seminar too.

  • That red (like an Irish Setter) called "chestnut" red is a deep rich red color… something that the breed has been losing over the last many years... and like many other things, it does run in different lines.

    And yes, Rita's pup was the offspring from an "opps" breeding last fall. Sire was born in 2004, Dam in 2003 but goes back to Rita's original stock (she has been in the breed a long time) and also to Carol Webb's dogs

    Really interesting. Of my 2 r/w - Ruby is definitely the deep chestnut and Brando is not, he's more of a tan colour. I did notice at the National that there weren't too many r/w there that were Ruby's colour of red (I did see some though), but never thought anything of it other than just a different hue; didn't realize that it was a colour that was being lost.

    About a year ago I saw a b with a red coat that was darker than Ruby's and that was one of Debbie Hauri's - Versace, I think it was.

    Did you make it to National after all?

    Yup…flew in Thursday (wanted to make it in time for the breeder seminar), out on Sunday - immediately after BOB.

    Met some lovely people, saw Liyah misbehave in the ring :rolleyes: :eek:, had some good laughs and saw some beautiful dogs that I'd only ever read or heard about. My only trip inside the ring was to bring a special in for roll call on Sunday :D. A whirlwind trip all in all. :D

    Well, shoot! It would have been nice to meet you. Maybe next time.

    Yes…definitely next time! :D

  • If you go to Sally's website and look up lots of the older ZURI-bred dogs you will see that same coat color.
    I had a boy that was WD/BW at the 2001 national… lovely dog... dark dark red... he had a ZURI dam.
    The picture quality in these isn't as good as it could be, but you get the idea... the color is around, you just have to have it in your pedigrees:

    and this one is much lighter than the dog actually is in person:

    The first one is better, that is the color of Rita's dog.

  • Both B's are to die for very pretty love there color.

    @debbie said in reputable breeder?: @tanza yes my mistake it was tested with OKC I got papers to prove it.. she was born with the disease Are you referring to OFA? If so then I would wonder if the pup's sire/dam were not the real sire/dam of the pup you got? Only if they are Afflicted with the Fanconi gene (the pup) would they develop Fanconi? Did the paperwork from OFA say "clear"?

    Exactly– responsible small breeders will be shut down and puppymillers flourish if we don't.

    @KiroGurl: how much would a red boy cost from most breeders? whATS THE AVERAGE? In the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic, I'd say a safe estimate is around $1000 - $1200 for a puppy from a responsible, reputable breeder. Personally, I haven't found there to be a lot of variables with pricing when you go to a responsible breeder. Off hand, the only real difference in pricing I've seen seems to be that it does vary by region of the US - kind of like everything :D. If a breeder is pricing by colour, male vs. female, or AKC registered/not, I'd immediately look for another breeder - personally I would consider those red flags and RUN. There may be breeders that charge differently for pet vs. show, but there are plenty that don't - none that I've encountered do. A good place to start to find a responsible breeder is always the BCOA breeders directory at basenji.org. And don't forget to verify health tests on offa.org

    Yes, Arlene, you do need at some point to take a stand and trust what you see and what you like… Breeding comes down to that in the end.... And with a bitch that is only 1 1/2 yrs looking down from the top is not a very good judge... IMO... reason?... They are not mature yet... and they shouldn't be.... their ribs have not even "sprung" at this age.. again IMO.... I would be hard pushed to say a dog is "wider" in the front then the rear at this age by just looking down on them.... again IMO.... Here is a link to 3 pictures of Kobey, 6wks, 3 months and 5 1/2 months... everything I saw on this pup at 6 wks that I liked (and that is a bit early then the 8 wks usually used for evaluating pups) I still see... but there are differences while growing... Now granted this pup is one of the few that has yet to really fall apart with a growing spurt... And also the faults that I saw at 6wks are still there too..... www.tanzabasenjis.net/kobeygrowing.html
