  • They are all so beautiful. Did you say you were planning on keeping one?

    Pat


  • They are all looking good. Bubba is still standing out for me but I also like Indi. :D


  • I'm looking at one of the boys. Bubba looks good, but Talker is starting to look better too. Indi looks good too, but I think if I was going to keep a girl, it would be Tink/Lilo. She has the better face of the two.


  • It would be hard for me to pick just one!!


  • here's the 6 week update Bubba climbed to the top of the x-pen today 4 feet!




    Pat, Can you see the evil??? Bwaaaaaahhaaaaa


  • Beautiful, beautiful. Puppies are looking real nice. Looks like that lil' Indi is very independant, not snuggling with the rest just out exploring.


  • I've found that like colours stick with like colours. Indi is the odd girl out in most cases.


  • They are all just adorable! I like Indi because she's the odd one out :)


  • oooooooo… can you send Bubba to me with the mail?????

    Just put some stamps on.... please.... :D


  • Everyone likes Bubba-not too bright, but what a bundle! Even the name-Bubba suits him.


  • Couldn't resist!

    Indi, Tink, Bubba and Talker underneath.


  • Super cute!!


  • After reading about Josie and Bindi, I thought I'd better update everyone on the Damisi/Sugar situation. As many of you know, I did have problems with Sugar and Damisi before Sugar had the puppies. They were constantly snarking and they had to be watched. Many people warned me that they would probably not want to be together after the puppies. I am very happy to report that Sugar and Damisi are much more relaxed now with each other. They have played about 3 or 4 times together. Running, jumping and play fighting. I'm so happy with this, but so sorry for you Robyn with Bindi and Josie. Sugar is now much more relaxed .


  • That is great news… usually if you can keep them from having a complete knock down drag out fight, you can work them back together... especially once the bitch having the pups decided that 1. the other is not a threat to the pups, or 2. the one having the pups decides after that it was not really "her" cup of tea...ggg (I had that with Maggii, she was ready to put the pups out on the street at 2wks... ggg... I had to hold her down to have them nurse... and she would have gladly given them all to Mickii had I let Mickii get milk, we are NOT talking Mother of the Year)... Mickii on the other hand was what I consider Mother of the Year... she took wonderful care of her pups and was never ever threatened by the others (once the eyes opened) and let every one in to play with her pups... Fatia was over the top with her pups and considered everyone a threat... even her own Mom, Mickii... and never did let down... leading me to placing Fatia with one of her pups (best decision I ever made it was the perfect solution)


  • Here are 6.5 weeks. Includes facials of Bubba and Talker.

  • Hey, Talker is really coming around! Looking forward to seeing them over the next few weeks.


  • He is starting to look better. But his ear set is a little odd. Most times his ears seem to be set further apart.


  • Awe I have to come and visit more often these babies are so cute


  • I'm going to try to load a video, if not here's the link:

    Based solely on these photos, I would rank Bella and Dean the highest but Clark and Flash are certainly not far behind. This is a fabulous litter. I love them all.

    I got my first basenji about 8 1/2 years ago. I wanted a dog that I could try lure coursing and maybe agility with. I was not interested in showing but agreed to try a a match or two before making a final decision and getting him neutered. At first Nicky didn't really show much interest in lure coursing and I couldn't find any agility classes near me so I entered Nicky in a match. We had fun and I decided I would give showing a try. When Nicky turned about 20 months old he finally decided the lure looked like a whole lot of fun so we split our time between showing him and coursing him. Nicky finished his AKC and ASFA Field Championships fairly quickly and when he was about 2 1/2 years old we decided we wanted to get him a companion. When his breeder was a planning a litter with black and whites expected I told her that I wanted on the waiting list. Nicky was 3 years old when Rally joined the pack. Rally has always been an enthusiastic courser and had that elusive "show attitude" that Nicky lacked she became my first Champion. During this time I also became active in my local breed club and in rescue. I learned a lot about the history of the breed and about how many people get basenjis because they are attracted to its small size and "barklessness" without understanding about its intelligence, sense of humor, and ability to scream bloody murder when upset. It was a big decision to decide to breed Rally. Being a responsible breeder means being responsible for the pups you bring into this world for the rest of their lives and means breeding with the best interest of the breed at heart. I decided to co-breed a litter out of Rally with her breeder because I felt that Rally had a lot to offer the breed as a whole. She has a healthy pedigree that is not over-represented in the gene pool, she has a fabulous temperament that has charmed many a person, and she is a lovely example of a black and white basenji. It took a year of planning and some bumps in the road but in the end we had a nice litter of 4 pups. I am very proud of all my puppy owners for keeping their puppies active and participating in lure coursing with their dogs. We had really hoped for a black girl in Rally's first litter but she gave us a black boy and only red girls. So we started researching again and after nearly 2 years of planning we bred her to an Avongara. Please take time to read about the emergency c-section that we had to have when one of the pups was mispositioned. It was heartbreaking to lose one of the pups and so scary to think that we could have lost Rally. Breeding is a labor of love. There are so many things that can go wrong and so much screening to make sure the pups end up in homes that will cherish them forever and understand what it is to own a basenji. Basenjis are not for everyone and as much as I love the breed, I have seen many end up in homes that should never have had a basenji and some were homes that would be great for the right breed just not a basenji.
