New Congo pups

Breeder Talk

  • I'm very excited to see the pups, and quite thrilled about a BW being selected. The distribution of colors makes sense to me, it fits into a basic population dynamic theory. Dr. Jo - if you ever need an ecologist on a trip, I'm your girl.

    Any help anyone??


  • @JoT:

    I apologize if my remarks sounded "teachy" or as if I was correcting you. That was not my intent.

    Oh no, I didn't think that at all. You put a lot more depth behind my comments and thought it was very appropriate. I love evoluntionary biology/genetics but only get into it from a more casual reader perspective.

    You have real-life experience involved with this type of subject, which is why I will make a not-so-shameless plug for your seminar at the BCOA National in Manitowoc, WI this September. People can go to the Specialty site for details. :D

  • Sharon, you should be able to go to the Facebook page where the pictures are, highlight the URL, copy, and then paste it here.

    If that's what you did previously (I, too, just got the sign-in page with a "wavecable" email address), then just tell us the name of the person/group where these pictures can be found and we should be able to do our own search (unless the person/group has their security set such that their name isn't searchable).

    You can either let people know the name of the person who posted the pictures so they can go to their profile (and friend them if necessary) or ask the person if they can give you a link to that particular photo album (there is a link at the very bottom of the album page which allows people who are not on Facebook to see the album) to share.


  • Ok, friend James Johannes.
    He is the one who took the Photos of Katie's new imports.


  • The b/w are certainly interesting and look really cute - I know Jon saw them on a previous trip but they were very elusive. He told us that when he came to give a talk at our club show.

    You're very lucky as many of you'll, I assume, have the opportunity to see them 'in the flesh' in the future. I hope we'll see a lot more pictures.

    @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

    The pups really love that ramp. I put a cat sized tunnel in there with them but instead of going through it they played "king of the mountain" and all jumped on top of it lol. These are the bounciest puppies. They are like little kangaroos hopping all the time. It's cute until you are sitting on the floor with them and one of them tries to pierce your nose. Ouch!

    Ziki is actually younger than Lema and Mopaya so all three were old enough to be presented. One reason dogs may not be presented as soon as they are old enough is that the owners may not have been in a position to get all of the evaluations completed on time. It can be very time consuming to find available evaluators and if they are not near you, it can be expensive to travel to them.

    With the last litter Milo, the sire/dog, on occasions was a little rough when playing with them but not meaning to be. He is very good with his front paws - could teach him to tie a knot if I had the patience and loves to shake hands and also likes to give things a bit of a tap at times - like the cat when it is asleep - and he can tap a little harder than he means to at times. He's a year older now so I'm hoping he'll be a little more sensitive this time with the pups. Still, I will need to keep an eye on him.
