  • 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!

    I've already replaced one set of bedsheets due to the digging. I swear he does it as soon as I leave the room, I'll hear him start digging, then he gets demoted to the couch (I guess this isn't really punishment…).

    she went from being a fussy puppy to being a puppy that just wants and loves food. if you have food she will do any trick you ask her with 110% enthusiasam if it means shes gettin food lol but i am glad shes not a fussy girl! We are waiting to hear back from the breeder to see what pups are reserved and which arent. Very excited. Hope gets to play with a chinese crested at work and she also plays with another two iggies down at the small breed social i run every fortnight, she seems to know that she has to be careful with the smaller dogs :) shes not much into wrestling with others, more or less just wants to run run run! i will have to upload a video of her and yoshi (the chinese crested) playing at work (the most ive seen her play! as usually its just tag, now chase me!) and will post the link here. So funny and cute. will post iggie baby photos once a decision's made :) EDIT: Video link to them playing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDTjuz_tNpM

    Love your pictures, he is so cute. I love the one with the stuffed animals as well, Sahara plays fetch with hers and even throws them up in the air to catch by herself. I think she would do good with a playmate, but the hubby says no for now, I think I will change his mind in time. :D :D

    @Mantis: How old is she? Tell us more about her. She is so cute! When we got her (late Oct 2006) the vet thought she was 9-12 mos based on teeth. Over the months she has been getting more spots on her belly. Dont know if that gives any sign of age or not. She seems smaller than some of the Basenjis on this site. She is very thin and muscular. Is there a difference between sizes Male vs females? Could she have been a runt?
