Sherwood's Breeding Plans

Breeder Talk
  • Another Awwwwwwwww from here. She is an adorable little girl. Looks like she was trying to show the hippo and the yellow toy that she is the alpha!

  • Ayla stacked at 4 weeks. I stack the pup then hold her head with my left hand while I snap the pic with my right. I do this with every litter until they reach a certain age when I need a helper.

    Pretty girl

    Ayla was walking around the living room and I took my eyes off of her for a couple minutes. I found her under the couch playing with a very unamused Tuk.

  • Tit for Cat, er Tat. Wasn't it Tuk amusing him (her) self with Ayla a week or two ago?

    She is so cute Robyn, and quite the butterball too!

  • She just gets cuter and cuter. It is easy to forget how little they are until you see them next to something like a cat. Yes….Tuk's expression is priceless. It is so great to see how well Ayla is thriving.

  • She is such a little butterball! Absolutely adorable :)

  • @nomrbddgs:

    No. Moxie is the one who likes to get into the puppy pen. This is Moxie with the "Something" litter. The two tris are Bindi and Sugar.

    Tuk (The Unnamed Kitty) is this one

  • Moxie is such a sweet babysitter! From the expression on his face, Tuk is NOT going to be asked to babysit. I didn't know that TUK stood for "The Unnamed Kitty". Dumb me thought it was a variation of "Tuck"….as in Friar Tuck with Robin in the Sherwood Forest!!!

    LOL! I never even thought about that! No, when I found that kitten, I did NOT want another cat. I had it set up where a local cat rescue group would take him once he was weaned. Once he was weaned they told me they wouldn't take him after all. I called every local cat rescue and none would take him. I didn't want to take him to the animal shelter. I tried and tried to give him away. Months passed and I refused to give him a name. I knew once I named him he was staying so I just called him The Unnamed Kitty. I finally admitted defeat and his name became TUK.

  • Gosh Robyn, what an ordeal you have been through. (I've been absent for a while, so I'm catching up.) Thank goodness Bindi and Ayla are doing so well. The puppies are all beautiful, naturally! The photos with Moxie and TUK are just adorable! Here's to a happy, healthy 2009 for all!

    I have cat named Kiki for the same reason. I found a momma cat & litter of kittens. I kept the momma cat, got her shots & spayed her & put her outside with my other two cats. She decided to live on her own again (I think she was tired of the kittens!), and I found homes for all the kittens but one. She was super shy & didn't trust anybody. I made her an outdoor cat since humans seemed to stress her out. She stuck around since I filled her bowl everyday, and we just always said "Here kitty kitty." After a year of feeding her every single day, she finally trusted me enough to let me pet her. Now she's indoors… I'm the only person allowed anywhere near her, but she adores me so much I finally had to give her a name. Kiki, the shortened form of kitty kitty, stuck.

  • Soon-to-be-puppy-parent Steph took a couple videos of Ayla last week.

    The first is of Ayla with soon-to-be-puppy-parent Chris (very short)

    video 1

    The second is of Ayla playing with her favorite toy, a multicolored octopus

    video 2

  • Awwww! Robyn, no fair!

  • What a beautiful puppy!

  • Ayla is adorable. That octopus is as big (or bigger) than she is! I'll bet she is a doted on little girl!!

    Pat

  • Such a cute girl!! It's so sweet to see how she is 'pawing' at the toy :D

  • She's soooo cute!

  • I wasn't able to get anyone to come over to help with 5 week old stacked pics so here are some cute pics of Ayla

    Cat toys make fun playthings for very young puppies

  • Ayla "explores" the most patient Basenji in the universe with my puppies, 11 year old Pippin. Pippin is Ayla's great-grandmother

  • After a long playtime adventure, a pooped out Ayla naps next to mama Bindi

  • Just turning 6 weeks, learning to be a showdog.

    nom, nom, nom

    Ok, can I get down and play now?

    No surprise there as there has been a few craiglist posts from this person with Basenjis to place…ie: FOR SALE! I don't think she ever stopped breeding.

    Seems like the DNA sample would be easier to get too. :rolleyes: I guess the advantage of the sperm count is that you at least know if the sire is fertile or not. Good luck, can't wait to see pictures of the pups to be.

    Hope you have a good trip and he is all you are looking for AND passes all health-testing with flying colors! The spring puppies we are having in the next month [both litters no less!] were the ones we'd planned for Fall 2009. So I moved up my 2010 breedings to Fall 2009… now the girls all need to cooperate with my plans!

    Well got some batteries for my pedipaws and showed Kaiser held it against his leg turned it on, held it against his nail turned it on said good boy and put it away. Later in the day had a go at using it for real with treat rewards since he had reacted so well, no problem always amazes me how calm he is. Went from toe to toe as they get hot and finished all of them. Do see it doesn't have much power but think it is a good start for me to use until I can get a Dremel and didn't take me as long as using clippers and then hand filing, so will use it weekly and take a little off each time. Cost me NZ$11.50 including postage but not including battery cost, so wasn't too bothered if it didn't suit. Happy me, happy basenji. Jolanda and Kaiser
