Sherwood Basenjis Breeding Plans 2012

Breeder Talk

  • My breeding plans have been finalized and puppies are expected to arrive in December! Details can be found on my website at http://www.sherwoodbasenjis.com/puppies.html. This is my first attempt at 2 litters at the same time. It should be interesting!


  • Wow, maybe black & whites? Not that I need a fourth, but a person can dream!

    Looks like you will have lovely puppies.


  • I have loved Zen since I first saw him as a baby. The fact that he is black and white made him even more attractive. It has been a few years since I had any black/whites and I have my fingers crossed for a black/white girl from this breeding. =)

    Arlene should have black/whites, too. It's going to be a colorful year!


  • Good luck Robyn!


  • I have a soft spot for the black and whites! Oakley was supposed to be te red and white girl I wanted; sometimes you don't get what you want but what you need and I certainly got the opposite of what I wanted/expected but I wholeheartedly got what I needed ;)

    Very excited for you, can't wait to see pictures!!


  • I love Zen. Hoping for lots of b/w puppies.

  • Way kewl. LOL you do know that since you are planning 2 both with be HUGE litters? LOL. OMG, can I come visit? LOL hell I'll come help whelp if you need me.


  • ewww Black and Whites. I would love a Black and White boy to be my Red and White girls brother. Are you going to announce
    the birth on the Basenji Forum, or can I give you my email address?


  • Oh how I would love to have a little black and white…but alas so not in the cards at the moment.

    Congratulations :)

    I hope we will get to see some puppy pictures here...


  • Rainie's hip OFA certifcate came today. He's rated "Good". I figured he would be as his hips were tight and smooth in the x-rays.

    Debra,
    Hush! I don't want 2 huge litters! Two normal sized litters are fine though I would love to have a nice selection of black/white girls that I can choose from. And you would be more than welcome to come visit and socialize puppies. :)

    clokatys,
    I will announce their birth here and give updates but I would be happy to chat with you privately also. My email is on my website so contact me and we can chat.

    I always do photos weekly of my pups, as long as I have a photographer anyway. I normally post them on my website but I'll let you guys know so you can watch the critters grow.


  • I am excited for you and really would love to come down to see the babies :)


  • I took the girls for their sonograms today. They are both confirmed pregnant with at least 5 puppies each.

    faints


  • You are going to have a lively household :)


  • You should be good and nuts by week 5! I don't envy you at all, Happy puppies!!

    4 sounds like a very manageable number.. I will keep my fingers crossed that they will come out in colors wished/hoped for. Either way they will be absolutely adorable, I am sure of that.

    @Quercus: <> Right...I wasn't sure if that was the litter that Sue was referring to? But I don't know of her doing any other brother/sister breeding. So yes, Ariel is a product of that breeding. The idea was to do a test breeding to see what genetically, if anything, might be brought out. By doing an inbreeding, you can 'expose' recessive genes, and see what you've actually got. You can also set (as in permanantly set) type...but, that wasn't the goal in Sue/Jeff's breeding. In this case, the two "best" "typey" puppies from this litter will most likely be bred on from, as long as they test out as genetically and physically healthy, they will most likely be out-crossed, to bring in different genes. Ariel's brother, George, is quite stunning, and is easily the best looking puppy in the litter. Ariel has a beautiful head, but is long in body, short in leg. Neither one is what we consider a "show dog" ;) And the litter's sire is quite handsome!.... the dam of the litter, while long in the back and short on leg (like it sounds Ariel is) has a great temperament... both are great to build on the future.... and breeding out from these pups will be great to build on too.... I am pretty sure that would be the breeding Sue was talking about, like you I don't know of any other brother/sister breeding she and Jeff has done.
