Thanks, Jo for the genetics correction and lesson. :D I believe they said that red was still the overwhelming color present so I guess any changes in the relative percentage of black dogs in the population as a whole are still pretty small. I was just looking at it from a little too simplistic perspective knowing that by chance, you sometimes you get all black (or vice versus) when breeding to a red in a litter, so over a few years span you could locally have a relatively larger number of blacks appear. But that fluctuation probably would correct itself over a pretty short period of time.
So, I'm guessing the "they were unlucky seeing them the previous trips" is the prevailing hypothesis then?I apologize if my remarks sounded "teachy" or as if I was correcting you. That was not my intent. In actuality, I think your comments are spot on target.
Yes, I understand that red was still seen as most often. But, I was told that black & white was the second most common (but, as you pointed out far behind in numbers compared to red) color seen ubiquitously … from the very first day and during the whole trip; in almost every settlement even when separated by miles; and of all age groups on this trip. Black and whites were "abundant" on this trip.
It will certainly be very exciting when they start publishing stories and details. I am thrilled about their finds. In my opinion, they all three are beautiful little basenjis. -
Anyone else having issues logging into Yahoo Groups? It was telling me that my sign in name was not accepted? (The same name I have been using for many, many years.) Then it kept asking me to register but kept refusing my email address. I finally got it to work somehow but I don't know why it was such a pain.
I am happy that more pups were brought back and even happier that one is a black/white. I hope we get to see more of these pups soon. :)

Re the facebook access. I have NO idea how to fix it.
Any help anyone?? -
@JoT:

Oh no, I didn't think that at all. You put a lot more depth behind my comments and thought it was very appropriate. I love evoluntionary biology/genetics but only get into it from a more casual reader perspective.
You have real-life experience involved with this type of subject, which is why I will make a not-so-shameless plug for your seminar at the BCOA National in Manitowoc, WI this September. People can go to the Specialty site for details. :D

Sharon, you should be able to go to the Facebook page where the pictures are, highlight the URL, copy, and then paste it here.
If that's what you did previously (I, too, just got the sign-in page with a "wavecable" email address), then just tell us the name of the person/group where these pictures can be found and we should be able to do our own search (unless the person/group has their security set such that their name isn't searchable).

Any help anyone??You can either let people know the name of the person who posted the pictures so they can go to their profile (and friend them if necessary) or ask the person if they can give you a link to that particular photo album (there is a link at the very bottom of the album page which allows people who are not on Facebook to see the album) to share.

Ok, friend James Johannes.
He is the one who took the Photos of Katie's new imports. -
The b/w are certainly interesting and look really cute - I know Jon saw them on a previous trip but they were very elusive. He told us that when he came to give a talk at our club show.
You're very lucky as many of you'll, I assume, have the opportunity to see them 'in the flesh' in the future. I hope we'll see a lot more pictures.
