Hello from New Member


  • Hello, my name is Becky Blansett. My kennel name is Epic. I have been by Basenjis for 20 years now.
    My first Basenji was a small red & white bitch named Sheba ( Bella Sheba Wa Umbawa FCH, CD, SC, CGC). Currently I have 4 adult Basenjis in my home, all decendents of Sheba.
    Over the years the Ninjas and I have have competed in Conformation, Lure Coursing, Obedience, Rally, and Agility. Sometimes I am the teacher, sometimes my dog is the teacher. Moses ( DC Epic's In Da Nile SC,RA,NA,NAJ)and I are currently having fun training and competing in Agility.
    On Feb. 21, 2008 my tri bitch, Ola (CH Epic Tri My Best SC), delivered by c-section 4 puppies by Charlie Denslow's dog Merlin ( CAN CH DC Select_Gana Incantation LCM ). There are two red girls, one tri girl, & one tri boy. Merlin is 14 years old. Ola and puppies are doing great.
    Besides doing the dog thing I also enjoy riding and training horses. I have a 9 year old Anglo Arab gelding that I train for Dressage.
    Wish me luck with the puppies!

    Welcome Becky….. I know lots of your "kids" by way of Tracy.... how is she these days?
    And amazing how many of us in the breed came from or are still into horses.... I came from Hunters/Jumpers and then Apps and Quarters...


  • Hey Becky,

    Welcome….<waving></waving>


  • Puppy pics will be coming.
    Did the Hunter thing years (years) ago. Had an amazing Appy & showed Quarter horses. Did the race track, breeding farm (love foaling mares), & the Class A Arab Circuit. Love the intelegence & beauty of Arabs. Moses likes to run around in the arena while I ride. He is leary of the horses since one pushed him aside with a big hoof. I don't trust him on trail rides yet.


  • Welcome. Looking forward to hearing more from you and seeing pictures of your dogs, puppies & horses!


  • Welcome to the forum! Can't wait to see pictures of your furkids & the puppies :)


  • Welcome to the forum and for sure we like puppy pictures but also pictures of the adults too! :)

    @julia87 How much do you know about Basenjis? Have you met any? It's highly recommended to learn as much as possible about them before making a decision to acquire one. This would be a good place to start.

    Congrats on your puppy…. has he (or his sire/dam) been health tested for Fanconi and PRA with the DNA test? Very important this if this has not been done for his Sire/Dam that you have your boy tested. And even if they have been tested, never hurts to follow up with having him done also.

    Most people incorrectly use the terms dominant and dominance with regard to dogs. Here is a good blog post by Dr. Sophia Yin on the topic. http://drsophiayin.com/blog/entry/dominance_in_dogs_is_not_a_personality_trait

    Whatever she is, she's a little doll. It's nice to know that the displaced pups are finding such good homes.
