Help me think!!

[Pearl]

O, yes! Ofcourse it's just bad luck! With her teeths.. She is perfekt in all other ways! But I want to show! And she is not a dog to exhibit…
And it would be nice with an friend to here!

Thanks again, for all help!

[irena]

Have you already contacted any kennels? And have any favorite?

[Pearl]

No I havn't contacted any one. I want to have the "best"! I could look for a wile before I make any decisions.. I'm going to the big show in stockholm (sweden) in dec and look there. But I really like the Bulldobas dogs! Echo, the male of my "puppy", is an big favorite! And I fell really in love with the Karimba kennel! even if I just have seen them om my computer! I really liked "Abbe" and "Molly" a lot!

Ofcourse I have see many nice dogs this summer when we have showed our girl, but I think it's important to like, and think alike, as the beeder. And I have fellt alittle bit "out side" of the others on the shows.. Mabye it's becouse I'm new…

With Love!

I'm a Bulldobas fan Tiina is a wonderful breeder, very very kind, with a lot of knowledge and beautiful dogs, who do great in the show ring. I know for sure that you are welcome to contact her. Liina is a lovely little bitch, not too long ago she was BIS3 in the Netherlands! If I wouldn't have Lycia…

[Basenjimamma]

I am glad you've gotten so many good ideas…my favorite breeder (in Sweden) is Elegant Elephant and Faraoland, of course I have never met any of these dogs in person, just seen pictures...but they sure have pretty dogs.

Good luck in finding your beautiful little girl..

Tillo's mommy is expecting puppies. The future daddy was one of my fav males during the Swedish speciality. You're not ready to add a B to the family Basenjimamma?

I like Bulldobas dogs, too. Also Hanishan from Finish breeders. Janneke, have you seen Bulldobas dogs alive?
Cause I know them only from pics….:(

One day, not quite yet..one day…

[lvoss]

I have not met any of Helene's dogs, Karimba Basenjis, in person but I have chatted with her via email. She is very easy to talk to and cares very much about her dogs and about the health and temperament of the breed.

Yes, I met her and some of her dogs (even Rene ;)) in Sweden. I also know Marcel who owns Liina and Jaro, both very nice dogs with nice temperaments. Last year there was another Bulldobas bitch, litter sister to the one she bred last year (Tamu), I think her name was Bulldobas Tiny T'Pau, beautiful bitch as well

[irena]

It seems everybody likes Bulldobas Basenjis

[Janneke]

How can you not like this? (Liina :))

[Elysium]

Pretty Liina is so gorgeous!!!
I could show you an interesting pic of her, when she goes mad with my little boy when we visited them last month 9month old Thabo tried out a new "male-game" on her :rolleyes:
But she's always cute, nice and loves to play. And Liina and Zuri really like each other
If I would be allowed to add a third one… :o

And I met Tiina and (hopefully) future sire Finny at the big dog-show in Dortmund last Saturday.
Tiina is very friendly and nice. And she always answered very detailed to my mails. So don't hesitate if you are interested

Yes - I like Bulldobas
If it wouldn't be my beloved brindle-boy, I would have chosen one of them last year
But we do have some wonderful breeders in Germany (I really love my two ), and it's wonderful to visit the puppies a few times.

Wow!! It could have been my puppy on the picture!!!

She's so alike!!

Hi all!

I'm new here and I hope this Thread is the right place for my question! This year is the right time for me to get a Basenji (I've been waiting sooooo long!).
I've seen that Zahleka Kennel from Sweden is expecting puppies from a beautiful combination. Does anyone know this kennel, or especially the bitch (Kazors Niambi)? The stud dog is from kennel Faraoland - this one was already mentioned to be good.
I can't find Zahleka in the Swedish Basenji club….

I don't want to bother any breeder until I'm sure that I want a puppy from him. This is why I'm asking here.
Thank you,
Sandra

Hi Sandra,
firstly welcome to the forum :D.
I have 11 month old B male from Zahleka kennels. His name is Zahleka Zanzkrit
I saw Niambi this June at Czech Basenji Club show. I don't like her so much, she isn't an ideal female for me.
Try ask Linda about pup from this mating, but I think she already has all pups reserved…What I know this mating has been really asked.
Do you want pup only from Sweden?

[Sandra]

Hi Irena,

thank you for your opinion. Can you specify why Niambi isn't "ideal" - character or exterieur?

Sweden is best for me - I'm from Sweden and want to pick up the Puppy by car (also Norway would be possible).

Greetings,
Sandra

PS: Zanzkrit is a beuatiful dog - his look is stoically as if nothing could worry him!

[Elscodobermann]

Hi Sandra - I really think your best idea is to get to some shows and meet the breeders and their dogs in the flesh - remember not every good breeder has a website - and not every breeder who has a website is necessarily a good one! There are many excellent breeders of Basenji in Sweden (i am importing a pup to Scotland from Sweden next year - though he hasnt been born yet!) - and while you will get lots of excellent advice on here (i.e. regarding health tests to expect to have been done etc), it is all just peoples very personal opinions and everyone can be looking for very different things.

I really dont think any decent breeder would be offended if you asked to go and meet them or their dogs without making a commitment - although again i still think it would be best if you went along to some shows where you can get chatting to people at the ringside and see the dogs for yourself. You can then get a feel for the temperament etc, and then make your own mind up.

Best of luck, and I hope you get your Basenji soon!

She looks skinny (don't mean it bad) and leggy for me and I don't like her head. It's just my opinion.
Of course I don't say she isn't pretty. Everybody likes different dog's type.
What I heard she has very nice character and she is successful show bitch.

It is the best idea to go look at show and chat with breeders face to face.

[khanis]

@Pearl:

They are Bulldobas Echo of Kenya and Suntribe's Mara Jade Skywalker.
I'm very pleased for my puppy, but her bite isn't korrekt. And I want to show! So I "need" an new puppy. And I want a friend for my Basenji.

It is great you are getting lots of recommendations, but you need to talk to Tuija about your B. I assume you got her from tuija or Bettan… if the bite did not end up correct _, then I would assume that they would replace this Basenji with another basenji.

You are right, it takes a while to get a B into Sweden. I sent a bitch back from the nationals, she was close to 9 months old before getting to Sweden. It takes that long [she was ready to go ~ rabies titer confirmed ~ only 10 days before I left for the national!]. I am sending my young Chrissy girl [she is just 6 months now] next spring, so she will have had time to get all the rabies titer stuff done… but then they are getting a bitch that is almost 1 year old. That is just how it is with Sweden.

Madelene and Sofie [Kennel Enigma] are also have a litter of pups. As is Bettan.

She is too leggy?? I believe the standard over there is pretty darn close to the US standard. The second sentence of our standard asks for a dog that is … and lightly built, appearing high on the leg compared to its length...
From what I have seen, she could possibly even use another 1/2" to be a little more balanced in height to length. But, she is still a nice elegant bitch. If she were and shorter, or less leggy, she would be far too long in back for her height._
