    Thanks for reading/watching untill the end!!

  • Oh WOW!!!! Such lovely pictures, as always. Aoide has grown into such a nice little girl and I love the action shots of Tillo.
    Thanks for sharing

  • Fabulous pictures, as always! :)

  • Next Basenji I get I'm going to have you pick out. Those two are some of the most beautiful and IMO the epitome of what I think a Basenji looks like….

  • Stunning - simply stunning!

  • Lovely bitch…..! great pictures, curious if the puppy came in season and how that went with Tillo?

  • I can not believe those photos, what did you use as a medium/camera stock??? I and my hubby were in jaw dropping awe…next B has to be a R/W.... congratulations and kudos!

  • Thank you all for your nice comments!

    @tanza:

    Lovely bitch…..! great pictures, curious if the puppy came in season and how that went with Tillo?

    Thank you! Yes, the puppy came in season ;) She just finished! It went really well with Tillo! He wasn't interested until day 18 and then he was interested until day 23, which was last wednesday. We didn't even need a crate! We just kept them in sight and if we weren't home one got the top of the house and the other the bottom ;) Still happy it's over though..

    @Buddys:

    I can not believe those photos, what did you use as a medium/camera stock??? I and my hubby were in jaw dropping awe…next B has to be a R/W.... congratulations and kudos!

    Thank you! B's are great in every colour :) We use the Canon 7D and our most used lens is the 70-200 2.8

  • Your two are simply amazing :)

    You take the most beautiful pictures!

  • Your pictures always are such a delight to see, and Tillo and Aiode are such beautiful dogs. When I first joined the Forum the pictures of Tillo you had posted just blew me away, and it is always the same. Congratulations on your winners - you must be so very proud of how well you have trained them!

    @moetmum: A basenji with a KC Gold GC! That just doesn't seem right! You should be really proud of her, that is a real achievement. Don't forget to let us know when she gets it. Hey she hasn't got it yet , Gerry ;) I hope she does, there is such a lot to it. We struggle a bit with heeling off lead.

    Love watching the dogs do agility! Tillo did great…..I guess in that first one he just thought the course should be set up a little different ;-).

    @McCannClan: What an adorable girl! I love those wrinkles and she actually poses for you. I cannot get my new girl to sit still long enough for that… I think Faro is a bad influence on her. Your Athena is beautiful. Hoping you have many fun filled loving days with her. Thank you! It amazes me. She always sits still or stops moving when I'm pointing my camera/phone at her. It's like she knows. Every day since I got her has been fun! @DebraDownSouth: What a cutie! In a couple, it shows the white of one eye and I was going to ask if she has a "lazy eye", but then I looked back at the baby ones… nope, just your camera angle and her looking at you a bit from side. Cara has an absolute lazy eye, btw.. so you know why I was looking! I envy you that cute baby stage. OMG wouldn't it be wonderful if you could keep them like that. Give that wrinkly face a kiss for me. Sigh. Thank you! At times it does look like she has a slight lazy eye but mostly it's the camera angle and the way her head is. Don't worry, I give her many hugs & kisses everyday! this is my favorite picture I've taken thus far. [image: IMG00470-20110329-2131.jpg]
