Breeder Talk
  • Very exciting news..thanks for sharing.

  • I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you too. Hope all goes well and that you will be hearing the pitter patter of little feet!

  • How exciting… can't wait to hear the results of the ultrasound!!! I am guess this was fresh or frozen breeding?

    Great lines that you are crossing.... IMO

    Well actually funny you should mention that Tanza :D…

    Right up until about 2pm yesterday, we were still all thinking that it was going to be a fresh chilled AI. Yesterday Ochre's prog result was 35, and all well laid plans of mice and men were ruined ;), and by 3pm she was at Hobart Airport, ready for a flight to Melbourne. Then at about 10 pm last night, she had a 30-35 minute tie :D:D:D... Hoping for another tie tonight :D. Then home again tomorrow am...

    I am really quite excited about this mating, I think they compliment each other physically and on paper ;).

  • How exciting! I have my fingers crossed for a healthy litter!

  • As they say… best laid plans.... and we all know that our Basenjis never want to use "our" plans...

    Glad that you got her there in time....

  • Congrats…so exciting..keeping our fingers and paws crossed over here in TX..
    Can't wait to hear the good news.

  • Thanks everyone for the warm wishes…

    Well we didnt get another tie, but that is just how Sunny works. He seems to know the right day, does his job, then thats it :)... So far he has 100% success rate, with his method, as well...

    After giving Helen and David a rundown of what Ochre was like, she has managed to make a complete liar out of me :rolleyes:. Here am I saying that she is aloof, independant, not at all affectionate etc, so what does she do... Yep there she is cuddled up to Helen on the couch watching TV, with David on the other side giving her feet a massage, AND, she was lapping it all up, thank you very much ;)... Wicked witch ;)...

    She arrived home this am, looking great. In her usual fashion, no waggy tail for us, just a jump up to smell our breath, and have a pat... Took Vanda to the Airport, on Helens advice, and while Ochre was a bit growly, Vanda was very submissive to her, and was very pleased to see her, even if it wasnt recipricated :)... Vanda was a little lost without Ochre, kept running to her crate to see if she was there yet...

    We are very happy to have her home, safe and sound, hopefully with a belly full of bubbies :D

  • Congratulations! Here's hoping you have a passle of little ones running around!

  • We have just got back from the Vets, after having Ochre U/S, and the Vet was able to palpate 3 and the U/S showed 2-3… Yaaaaay :) :) :)

    Im VERY excited, but now its sunk in, Im feeling like a newbie all over again. Its been nearly 7 years since our last litter, (and they were ACD's), so I am off to do some bigtime swatting :D :D :D...

  • Wohooo, that?s great :D.
    Yesterday I was thinking back on our puppies and I look forward to next litter (in summer 2012 :eek:).

  • That's great news! Congrats!

  • Thanks guys, I keep looking at her, and my heart skips a beat, and I am wondering if we have done the right thing :-)

    Im sure in a day or two I will be excited all over again :).

    Congrats - how exciting!!:D

    When Ruby was bred 2 years ago, her u/s showed 3 and the vet could palpate 3, but she had 6! The funny thing was her breeder hoped for at least 4, I had a dream she had 5 - and then she had 6. :D

    The US for Bella showed 2…and there were four! Seems you can safely double the estimate based on US results ;)

  • Andrea - LOL, too funny. Saba, how many are you hoping for?

  • And with the Ultrasound many years ago with Maggii, show 3, she had 6… Mickii, they could not find any... she had 4!!! however the specialist these days are much better with the Ultrasound.

    That said, I still opt for xrays at 58 to 60 days for hopefully an exact count!

  • Congrats Jennie, so exciting.
    I know how exilerating it must be to know that your little girl has a tummy full of even smaller little girls and boys.
    When are they due?
    I know Kylie is expecting litters as well…been talking to her, lots..

  • Rally's first ultrasound showed 4 and she had 4. Her second had 4 and she had 4 but we lost one because it had been stuck and the stress was too much for it. TC's ultrasound showed 4 heartbeats and one sac with no heartbeat, she had 4 pups and appears to have resorbed a 5th. Rio's ultrasound showed 1 heartbeat and 1 empty sac so we think she resorbed one also. My vets have said the most common reason in their opinion for miscounting is that the bitch is carrying them very high so they are tucked under the rib cage where they can't see or getting "lost" as they count and not knowing which horn they are in.

    I also x-ray to check the count and the size. L'Ox was massive compared to what my other puppies have been and I am glad I knew that ahead of time.

    I start to get pretty anxious after the ultrasound. Happy that we are expecting puppies but worried about having everything in place, especially emergency care if needed. I don't think I really relax until the pups eyes are open and they have their feet under them but I am a worrier.

  • Congratulations, bet you can't wait :)

    One breeder from San Diego (Rancho Penasquitos) retired from their day jobs and moved to Texas; Bob & Terry Reed of Illusion Basenjis. Another San Diego breeder (Spring Valley) passed away almost 2 years ago; Doug Joy of Basenjis of Dune. Not all reputable breeders are visible on the BCOA website. Some don't want their kennels named because they do not breed very often. You should contact the breeder liaison via email for more breeders in California and other nearby states. The local breed club for southern California is The South Coast Basenji Fanciers. They can help you find a local breeder. The quickest way to get in touch with them if through their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/SoCalBasenjiFanciers Northern California also has a breed club that you can contact, BCONC.

    Thank you for the replies. Yes, either a total scam or just irresponsible, deceptive and lying individuals trying to make a buck. I am so glad I found this forum. Federico

    But the part that you highlighted about in season bitches is not likely to occur at a dog show. I do not allow other dogs at shows to lick my dogs nor do I allow my dogs to lick other dogs at a show. I have not seen any study that shows that an in season bitch is at significantly higher risk than any other dog at a dog show. If you are taking reasonable precautions with your dogs while at a show, I don't see that they are any more likely to contract an infection than the other dogs at the show. Actually, this past year I bred a bitch who came into season early and specifically asked my repro vet about bringing her to show because it would break the major if she did not show. My repro vet said that it was fine as long as I took reasonable precautions like using a crate and not allowing her to explore the grounds with her nose in everything. She whelped a healthy litter of 4.

    Thank you guys so much for the information. I will definately write it as you said. Maybe he will then stop being so ugly. I know that there is no way he will let me or anyone that knows me have her. All I know is I paid him back for the dog, paid to fly it to them and now I get to be rimmed out on the phone, emails, etc. I just love hearing what an irresponsible breeder I am and how much I abused the dog. It just makes me fighting mad to be accused of such things. I love my dogs so much and they live better than I do it seems… Thanks again, you guys are the best.

    @Kipawa: Boy, I will put my flame retardent suit on here before I say this - in the picture of the four basenjis, well, they look so unhappy. ALL of them. I sympathize with the breeder in that she has some medical/mental restrictions, but the look of the breeding facility frightens me. If she has medical/mental restrictions she should NOT be breeding. And I agree about the conditions of the kennels. They are dirty and unkept. And as said, if there are no papers/unregistered AKC then she should not be breeding.
