• They are beautiful!

    I am sad that you were in Chicago, and I didn't get to meet you!

    But sounds like a very busy, very happy trip. Congrats!

    It was pretty much a "whirl wind" trip….


  • Franie and C-Me yesterday after an afternoon of socialization at the lure trials napping in the afternoon sun….

  • Aaw.. Just adorable.. Did they get a chance to chase the lure?

  • Houston

    just tuckered out.. I bet they had a ball..


  • A typical Basenji moment - what beautifully marked Basenjis! I do so love the red/white girl - they are and always have been my favourites.


  • @Janneke:

    They were so interested in all the other breeds, especially the ones with "hair" that the lure didn't have much of an impression this time…. so they just watched the others... maybe next time in June at our Puppy Match.

    Thanks Patty…. I do love the to the plain face markings myself...


  • Great Picture…

    I love the red-white one!!!


  • OK, here are some stacked pictures of the kids…. taken today... You can tell Franie (Red & White) is really teething... just about as loose a tail as you can find...gggg

    C-Me was whelped 12-24-2009 and Franie & Trip 1-6-2010

    Not the best of pictures for Franie…. she was really more interested in the Squirrel on the fence

    And Franie's litter Brother, Trip

  • They are all lovely pups, look like they're coming on well.

    I love C-Me though, what a stunner!


  • Beautiful babies!!


  • They are lovely Pat:D


  • C-Me is my favourite, beautiful tri pup.


  • Thanks, C-Me is at a very nice growth stage right now… never know about tomorrow with puppies. And Franie does much better at "free" stack and looks much better.... more balanced... but she is going to be a late bloomer

  • Wow. Lovely b's!

  • Houston

    beautiful boys and girls.. I think they look lovely..
    Being a newbie at this, what are you supposed to look at when evaluating a puppy for show?

    Same thing as an adult… most breeders judge puppies at 8 wks and 99% of the time what you see at 8wks is what you will have as an adult, 8wks is a minature of the adult. Then breeders will tell you to put them away and don't look at them again as a show dog till they are mature...ggg... they grow funny, move funny (of course they have to be sound in structure and conformation), high in the rear, high in the front, narrow in the front, short in the neck... all those fun stages. Some stay together better then others... some really fall apart.


  • They look fabulous Pat. I love C-Me. I'm not suprised though as I tend to be drawn to the Klassic look. 🙂

    Thanks Tanza, I needed that info..to me all dogs look great, but not all look stunning..if you know what I mean..I have seen so many different types of B's depending of where they are from, like australian bred vs european bred, vs american lines.
    Some are very dark, rich in the color(australian), some have really nice almond shaped eyes (mostly european), and others have the great head, very wedge shaped, those I have seen in several places, including american.
    The american lines are very sleek looking, the aussie are stouter, and the europeans have a little of both..now comes the tricky part of finding a pup that has all the qualities..
    Rememer I am a novice so this is just what I have noticed, while looking at pictures.
