Is that the puppy you are getting (your avatar picture)? She is beyond cute! And I so sympathize with your emotions as you wait to bring her home. I think when I waited for Kipawa I was like a tightly stretched rubber band, or a balloon with too much helium in it. :)

Thank you all!! You are such a sweethearts :)
Yes, she IS my avatar :)
You are so right, my days are soooo long :(
First we waited for puppies to be born and didn't know exactly are we going to get a girl like we imagine AND then, when she was born she was exactly what we wanted :D with white stripe on her forehead :D Amazing!!
Then, we had to wait to go and see her at the kennel ;) …it's was so hard to leave her there afterwards and go home with empty hands. Because we are far from each other the pictures and some video are all I have; I go thru her pictures daily
...you can call me crazy :D
It's like a waiting for third child, and even harder (because I already have kids :D:D:D)Sorry if my english is bad...;)

Your English is great. My Croatian is horrible! ;)
Don't feel crazy about looking at her pictures daily. I was on the FoPaws website at least once a day looking at pictures of Kipawa. Make sure to take lots of pictures when you get her, because they grow so quickly! I can already look back at pictures and see such a huge difference.

Hi & welcome Nikol!
I agree, basenjis are rare here (Croatia, Slovenia etc), but we do have them, and we even have few kennels and planned litters (just not for this year). ;)
I hope that we'll meet one day, we are not so far away from each other ;)
(just short welcome greeting in Croatian :D - dobrodosla i pozdrav od Rijecanke koja zivi u Ljubljani i od njezine basenjike)

Just short welcome back in Croatian :D - Hvala!! Ajme kako je lijepo s nekim na hrvatskom pisati o Basenjiju, a da nije sa mnom u rodu :D:D:D Ako zelis rado bi da ostanemo u kontaktu pa da dogovorimo koju setnjicu sa Basenjijima?! Ljubljana je jako blizu :)
…it wasn't short after all ;)
I'm so glad that there is someone near Croatia with Basenjis. I was in contact with Tisa that has Loa http://www.anansi-loa.com/ I suppose you know her? :)
I really hope that we will meet soon. I really would like to talk and change experience with Basenji owners not only thru internet ;)
Tiva, do you go to dog shows? OOO, I'm so happy you are near! If you want we can change e-mails?Yesterday I called my contact with breeder (he don't speak English so we have someone who translates :)) to ask her to find out when can I come for Asali. So, I'm waiting to know exactly when :(
At what age did you get your Basenjis? Is it at 8 weeks or do I need to wait till 9 weeks? What depends on when can we pick her up?

Hi PiaMerete, yes :) I know all this :)
Unfortunately, AFRICAN DESTINY doesn't exist anymore. I'm planning to go to Croatian Kennel Club soon to find out more…but I'm pretty sure there isn't any active breeder in the recent years. I've try to contact every breeder on this list before and give up :(
But never mind anymore. We will register ourselfs as a Basenji breeder ;)Of course I know that Banjoko is form Croatia :D I'm so happy because of the fact that Asali will return to the native land ;)
-
Hi again, today I received a few new photos I would like to share ;)
I'm in love!!
If vet examination and vaccination would be finished till 25th of February we will have her on February 26th :D:D:D
I so hope that we will. It is hard to wait!I don't know how to insert picture into the post so I'll add all in my photo album :rolleyes:

Success :D

She is a beauty…you are so lucky..

hi Nikol,
first of all, congratulations to your basenji girl!
Also, me and my husband decided to try and change situation here in Croatia and start a web page to introduce Basenjis with people here and we will get a male puppy soon and give it a try in breeding ;)
please check first if there is any demand for basenjis in your area.
i can imagine the breeder stopped their activities because it was difficult to find good places for their pups, since it's not a breed for everyone.
