Saw this today. Has a nice quote from basenji breeder, Brad Phifer.

"The price of puppies for sale" by Roxanne Hawn.

I hope it reaches a broad audience so people can understand where they should get their puppies from.

No, it won't be the same. I recently lost a beloved dog myself. I'm so sorry.

How long was your breeding "mentorship"?

It seems that 1990 and 1991 were good years. I got my first show Basenji in 1991 also. 🙂

The breeder that I got my foundation bitch from lived in another state and wasn't interested in continued contact after I bought the dog. I didn't know anyone else who even owned Basenjis. (This was before internet.) Only one couple I met at dog shows took the time to even speak to me when I first started showing. They gave me tips on handling and grooming but they did not serve as mentor. I did not have a mentor for my first litter but it turned out well; five puppies of which 3 became conformation champions and 1 became a field champion. My mentor came about later. We disagreed on many things over the years but I learned a lot from her. Now it's my turn to be a mentor. I didn't really know what I was doing early on but I really enjoy it now.

@vickayx:

I'm glad I have to wait because it gives me enough time to prepare and be fully ready.. I like things to make sense

You sound a lot like me. I loved the time I had to prepare (puppy proof) our place before Kipawa finally came to us forever. 🙂

Terry, Yes that's correct. She is one of the pups from Charro's trip to Sweden. I'm so happy that I got her, she's a real sweetheart with a lovely temprement. This is something that she has past to her babies.

Also, as they are so cat like, folks don't understand their not "listening". So the corrections get harsher and harsher.
Sigh.
Education is the key for folks…until they do, we will have many dogs in the wrong homes.

The following site has them at a reasonable price plus if you click on Color/Pattern choices at the bottom of the page, you can see exactly how to measure your girl to get the correct size: http://nu-nee.tripod.com/bb.htm

Whatever you decide to use try to remember that the likelihood they last more than a day is low unless you are incredibly vigilant. Personally, I gave up on the panties. The bleeding was never very much & Ella kept herself incredibly clean so I rarely saw or had blood spots to clean up. The worst were my sheets (yes, my spoiled B sleeps under the covers at my feet). I tried keeping panties on her but by morning they were shredded as well as sanitary napkin bits everywhere. It was cheaper just to change my sheets daily.
