Hello Chris,Tom and Fela Kuti. Welcome to the forum! We look forward to hearing your stories and sharing some of your experience/info. I'm a long time Basenji person too, 30 years.

Hi and welcome! I love Cape Cod So who is the breeder of your pup? We also have a full African puppy right now.

[felakuti]

we got our pup from Eldorado basenjis in north attleboro massachusetts, they are offering full african pups in conjunction with a breeder in new york. Tell me about your full African pup. so glad they are introducing new blood into the breed, arent you? did i mention to you that Debbie's Petland in hyannis mass has a basenji pup there with 5 toes, the dew claws were removed but there are 5 distinct toes with toenails. is that a serious genetic abnormality? from chris and tom

[lvoss]

Is your Avongara from the Risha x Kasabu litter? If so then my half AF, Sophie is a cousin. Sophie's sire is Avongara Cole of Brushy Run, http://www.basenji.org/african/Cole.htm

Hi Fela!! Welcome to the Forum!!

I have 2 EL DORADO dogs!! They are great breeders. I'm sure you're gonna have lots of fun with your new pup. I may have met your little one already as I saw a couple of the El Dorado litters some time ago.

I'd love to see pics of your litte one.

[felakuti]

hi Eldorado owner….is it just me but do you think also that they have the most beautiful basenjis i have ever seen in my life?????? my pup is from the Heat litter, i think the litter pictures might still be up on their web site.

[felakuti]

hi, it's me again…am I mistaken but did i see a picture of your Topaz on the Eldorado website??????

[jys1011]

They are beautiful little pups definitely!! There's a pickof my Topaz on their site "Available Adults" altho she's NOT available anymore And my C3PO has a pic up on their website he was finished March of 2006 under Ch. El Dorado's CThreePO by Sadiki

Fun people.:D

The lady in NY is Jean Martin, she was at the show in MD on Sunday. Jean had our Max's brother with her, it was cool to see him.

I had never met her before, she's our first B's breeder, I really enjoyed talking to her. She had this ridgeback that was just a big baby, but huge!:)

[nomrbddgs]

Yes she does have ridgies too!

The more I learn, the more fun it is and I was never that interested in dog shows. I'm just starting to understand just what they're looking at.:eek:

He is a really nice dog.:)
