  • She is darling! And Dude is a gentleman, I predict a long and happy bond between them!
    Congratulations.

  • What a cutie… how old is the puppy?

  • Lovely, did you get your pup the same breeder you got your r/w?
    Thanks for the photos..they are wonderful.

  • Ono was born 12-14-2009 in the sunny paradise of Oahu, Hawaii… In the pictures she is 10 weeks old.

    Ono was bred by Kathy Britton of Khani's Basenjis and John Gaidos of Teazer Basenjis, she is 'gwen' Khani's Teazer Hollaback Girl out of 'Motumbo' and 'Smooches' (Am Ch Grandquest Kazor's Motumbo Xequemate x Am Ch Teazer's American Idol)

  • Just love the kind interaction of the two of them. I think you have a lovely little family there!

  • Beutiful little Ono..and Dude is handsome as all get out..
    I love the pictures. Thank you so much for sharing your joys..

  • Kathy has some lovely b's…your lucky to own one.

  • Thank you all for the kind words :)

    Having 2 has been SO much fun!

  • @thunderbird8588:

    Ono is gorgeous, what an appropriate name for a B ;)
    /QUOTE]

    what does that name mean?

  • @pacificNWbasenji:

    Hey I have the same dog bed! Yay for Costco!

  • Ono is a Hawaiian word, used to describe something that is 'the best'
    AND happens to be very basenji appropriate :)

    We hesitated naming her something that so strongly resembled 'no' but we don't use 'no' very much in our training, we say 'hey' to get their attention and then give them another cue to follow when we are redirecting their behaviour.

    The pups love the huge costco bed, and I love the great cedar smell :)

    Becca and Tucker are certainly more adventurous than Spencer. He wants no part of water– coming from the sky or puddled on the ground. When we're walking, he will screech to a halt in front of a puddle, like he's waiting for it to move. Becca and Tucker sound like fun dogs to have around. I saw their pix in another thread, and they are so cute-- bet there's never a dull moment at your house!

    Yes, Bungwa will toss any of his toys into the air and catch them but definitely will not catch anything I throw. He has no competition because the others just look and say 'Boooring'!!! Interesting about your best hunters being fetchers, Quercus. I wonder if there's a reason in it or whether it's a coincidence!?

    GREAT picture! Love the evil little beasties. I read something years ago that indicated that the retinal reflection of the green color scale was an indication of an animal that had increased night vision. We often see red when photographing other mammals. Any one else ever read anything about this?? How about our resident photogs?? Comicdom, Janneke, etc….?
  • Basenji's love mint!

    Last year we bought a catnip mouse for our cat, but Samantha likes to play with them more than the cat does!
