Hopefully Babies for Langarni Basenjis.

Breeder Talk
  • So cool. I didn't realize the babies started out so dark (relative to the red of the mother) – at least that's how it appears in the pictures, which are a pleasure to see. And those adorable little twizzlestick tails!

    Congratulations!

  • Just been to look at the babies - gorgeous and mum must be so pleased with herself. Puppies always make me feel broody - and sorry that we won't be having any more. I now have to take joy in viewing other peoples'!

    I noticed too that in the preamble you said that the scan showed 2 to 3 puppies!! Well done Ochre for doublinfg that! Typical of a Basenji!!!!

  • Thanks everyone for the lovely comments… Just starting to feel hooman again, just ;).

    Ochre is doing very well indeed, and Im sooooo very proud of her. She has settled into motherhood like a real pro...

    Bubbies are all gaining great amounts of weight, feeding well, and are just such time wasters :D. Got a friend coming down tomorrow to do the dew claws, something Im NOT looking forward to, although she reassures me the pups will probably cope a lot better than the humans will :).

    Will try to get some individual pics of them, either tomorrow or the following day :)...

  • Wonderful update..can't wait for pictures..you know we are picture hogs..:)

    Good luck on the dew claw removal, does not sound like fun times..

  • Well my gorgeous little bubbies are 6 days old today, I cant believe just how quickly that time has gone :eek:…

    They are doing soooooooooooooo well, feeding well, too. In fact they have all doubled their birth weight at either day 5 or 6 :eek:... Im blown away by that... Is that normal ??? Im used to the ACD's doubling by about day 10, if they did it this early, I would be concerned !!!

    I have pics of them at 4 days, on my website www.langarni-rajacadoo.com if you want to have a look at them :D:D:D

  • I want….. And I did....

    And I want another Basenji... :D

  • they are adorable, Jennie..so cute..

  • Could be a tad biased, but I agree, they are soooooooooooooooo cute, such timewasters :D

  • Yes, they usually double their birth weight in about a week.

  • Congratulations, the puppies are beautiful

  • Just a quick update, to say that the pups are 11 days old now, and they continue to do really well :)… I did not enjoy being a part of taking the dew claws off, but I was interested to see just how quickly they all settled down after it was done...

    So proud of Ochre, she is doing a great job feeding them and cleaning them. She is having a bit of time out of the whelping box, and yesterday she was re-intrduced to Saba, (who I might add, was VERY pleased to have her company again :)), and she enjoyed the company as well. They even did a housebound B500 ;)... Too cute...

    Day 7 pics of them are up on our website :)...

  • 11 days later but many congrats to pups :D!!!
    Enjoy these first weeks until they grow to little devils :D.

  • Just a quick update…

    All going well. I have the 3 fatties all reach the kilo mark yesterday, while the 3 skinnies are all in the high 800's grams :)

    I have 2 week shots of them up on my website, www.langarni-rajacadoo.com They will be 3 weeks old this Sunday. Ochre is coping really well, doing a fantastic job. She spent her first time down in the dog run with Saba this afternoon, and I think she loved the freedom she had… She didnt quite do the B500, I think those large mammaries got in the way :D...

    Finally opened their eyes on about day 17-19, very slow compared to the Cattle Dogs who are open between days 8-10 ;)...

    Just in the process of thinking up registered names, thats a fun part I reckon :)

  • Yup this is the fun time!!!! Glad to hear all is going well…. My pups usually opened eyes at around 12 to 15 days, girls first and then boys.....

  • Just checked out your website and the most adorable photos of the puppies! I just want to grab a big blanket, put them ALL in there and have them on my lap! What cuties.

  • So happy to hear that all is good..love seeing the pictures, keep them coming.

  • Thanks guys :)…

    Kipawa, I have heart failure about once a day, cos my daughters keep taking one to have a cuddle, and the head count is wrong... So there's me shouting... "Do you have ...... ???", Yes, Im giving ...... a cuddle up here" ;)... I wont mention putting all 6 in a blanket and taking them ALL upstairs :eek:

    3 weeks old yesterday, new pics up on the website :). I tried to take pretend 'stacked shots' of them all, didnt work ;). Legs all over the place...

  • Ooo pups! Congrats!! How are they all going? i have found your website - its great.

  • Thanks Lysh :)…

    They are going really well, growing like weeds !!! They are just beginning to play with each other a bit, up on their wobbly widdle legs :D...

    They are just starting to be at the fun stage... Love watching them. Real time-wasters too ;)...

    Just about to go and find my registered names for them all... Exciting :)...

  • naww :)

    what are you going to do with their reg names - have you got a theme or something you will go by?

    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

    To the OP, unless you do health testing, and then get a title on your dog, your best bet is to not breed. To do it right will cost you more than you could ever get in stud fees unless he is phenomenal. To Rosie.. wow. No. Contact BRAT and adopt a dog. The fair thing to your dog is to love her, spay her and not risk cancer, dying or complications from whelping and other issues. The responsible thing to your children isn't to become a backyard breeder creating puppies, but to show them you actually CARE about animals and not produce more. Unless of course you are willing to fork over the money required to do all the health testing (this is not your vet saying "she's fine" but rather hip xrays, Fanconi DNA, thyroid, heart etc!) AND pay for stud service to a dog who has also been tested (good luck with that– most reputable stud owners don't just breed to anyone).

    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.

    @agilebasenji: So Breeder A said Breeder B didn't test? Personally, I'd do some homework before I'd believe what Breeder A said about Breeder B. Maybe it's true, and if it is SHAME on Breeder B! But I've learned that just because 2 people breed basenjis, doesn't mean they like each other. (And just for the record, I have no idea who Breeder A and Breeder B are.) Exactly…. and it is easy enough to check on the OFA site or Sally's pedigree site (of course that is not updated until OFA site is updated). But never go on what "he said/she said"... at least I don't... but there has been much discussion on other lists about well know breeder not testing or doing a questionable breeding with tested dogs... all pretty easily documented on the OFA site. So in some cases could be "he said/she said" with no truth to the statements..... as said, best and the responsible thing to do is check out your facts.
