Working Dog Basenji Pups Waiting list

[Heidi]

This is all super neat! I'm totally in love with the BNTPP, even though I don't own a basenji. I will be very interested in seeing those youtube videos and in hearing updates!

Thanks, Heidi and I have a Flicker link to all of our pups pics as we post them:

Hi Sharron, We had five….three B/W boys and two dark brindle girls...

Congratulations - I hope Mum and babies are well. They certainly look a healthy litter.

Is there anything to the fact that the males are black and white and the females are brindle? Is that just a coincidence or is there something in basenji genetics that makes it that way?

Just the way it goes…. color has nothing to do with genetics... but the interesting thing with multi colored litters is watching the way that that same colors will group... my first litter was 3 reds, 3 tris... the reds 2 males, 1 bitch would group and the Tris, 2 males, 1 bitch would group.. almost from day one

[lvoss]

I think Pat meant that color has nothing to do with gender though it has everything to do with genetics. The colors in basenjis are not sex-linked traits like you find in cats.

So excited about this!! I have thought about the Basenji being the PERFECT working dog for a long time! Good luck to you and the pups!

Both males and females are black and white and both males and females are brindle in general, so yes it was a coincidence.

[GeorgiaK9]

Alrighty! The B pups are two weeks old and growing like weeds! The male with the solid face is the biggest and most active and actively seeks any new odor when sleeping if it is introduced to the area. He may be a very good scent dog. He is also a squealer when mom leaves. Here is a short video with more pics to come:

LOL Jeff…. Love the Priority box!!! Reminds me of a conversation that I had a few years ago with a person looking for a puppy. They wanted to know if I shipped FedX!!!!

[GeorgiaK9]

I had not thought of that when we did it! The boxes kept them contained for weighing! LOL…

The Kaden/ Phoenix litter is really coming along, tails a' curling' and ears starting to perk up a bit. We have begun to test them on toys, trying to determine prey and hunt drive, along with retention, curiosity, and other qualities. This is a very nice litter and the pups show no signs of aversion or fear. They all have quite a desire to interact with people. There are a couple that look like great working dog prospects for any detector work or sport. This breeding was with nose and ability to work for man in mind and we are seeing a lot of what we would expect from a working GSD or other working breed litter. The last 70 pics were taken last night with the first introduction to the toys. Feel free to write with any questions and cheek out our company page if you want to see some of the work we do.
