Breeder Talk
  • I have a soft spot for the black and whites! Oakley was supposed to be te red and white girl I wanted; sometimes you don't get what you want but what you need and I certainly got the opposite of what I wanted/expected but I wholeheartedly got what I needed ;)

    Very excited for you, can't wait to see pictures!!

  • I love Zen. Hoping for lots of b/w puppies.

    visit BCOA on Facebook. http://facebook.com/basenji.org

  • Way kewl. LOL you do know that since you are planning 2 both with be HUGE litters? LOL. OMG, can I come visit? LOL hell I'll come help whelp if you need me.

  • ewww Black and Whites. I would love a Black and White boy to be my Red and White girls brother. Are you going to announce
    the birth on the Basenji Forum, or can I give you my email address?

  • Oh how I would love to have a little black and white…but alas so not in the cards at the moment.

    Congratulations :)

    I hope we will get to see some puppy pictures here...

  • Rainie's hip OFA certifcate came today. He's rated "Good". I figured he would be as his hips were tight and smooth in the x-rays.

    Debra,
    Hush! I don't want 2 huge litters! Two normal sized litters are fine though I would love to have a nice selection of black/white girls that I can choose from. And you would be more than welcome to come visit and socialize puppies. :)

    clokatys,
    I will announce their birth here and give updates but I would be happy to chat with you privately also. My email is on my website so contact me and we can chat.

    I always do photos weekly of my pups, as long as I have a photographer anyway. I normally post them on my website but I'll let you guys know so you can watch the critters grow.

  • I am excited for you and really would love to come down to see the babies :)

  • I took the girls for their sonograms today. They are both confirmed pregnant with at least 5 puppies each.

    faints

  • You are going to have a lively household :)

  • You should be good and nuts by week 5! I don't envy you at all, Happy puppies!!

    @Kipawa: I think most people will agree that neutering a dog does not spoil their spirit or temperament. More often, spaying or neutering results in a more calm, balanced animal. I agree, but we have lots of people on the Forum from over the "pond" and they have most different ideas about spay/neuter, different culture, different ideas…. and that is their right.... sometimes we all will need to agree to disagree..
  • Why do breeders mix Basenjis with other breeds?

    I have to agree with Janneke. There are some sport mixes that are very responsibly bred. Most often these dogs are bred for Flyball, and involve a herding breed mixed with a terrier. The border-staffy mixes mix the drive of the Staffy with the intelligence and trainablility of the herding dogs, but also to mitigate a bit of the herding breed sensitivity. I think a team of 4 Borderstaffys holds the flyball record right now? They are supposed to be great for what they are bred for. Super-fast, drivey, but with the "off-switch" that is missing in a lot of terriers. They supposedly breed pretty consistent, and the breeders heath test, and try to be responsible. The border-jack is also really popular in flyball and agility. They are smart, super drivey and hyper. As far as I know, neither of these mixes has been picked up by the BYB's and Puppy Mills. Neither of these mixes should go to non-sports homes. Lots of mushers mix greyhound or whippet into their northern breeds to add some speed to their teams. Or they often choose to breed mixed breed dogs that are superior lead dogs or the like. I see no problem with purpose-bred mixes, as long as their breeders are as responsible with their planning and placements as we would expect from any responsible purebred breeder.
