Hi from Cape Cod

[felakuti]

Fela Kuti is our third loveydovey basenji :) the other two we had for 17 and 16 blessed years. This new puppy's grandparents are still in Africa, part of the African AKC project. We feel so honored to be raising an african bush jumping dog, am sure all of you feel the same way. :) Thank you for having this wonderful sharing forum. from chris and tom on cape cod

Hi and welcome! I love Cape Cod :) So who is the breeder of your pup? We also have a full African puppy right now.

[felakuti]

we got our pup from Eldorado basenjis in north attleboro massachusetts, they are offering full african pups in conjunction with a breeder in new york. Tell me about your full African pup. :) so glad they are introducing new blood into the breed, arent you? did i mention to you that Debbie's Petland in hyannis mass has a basenji pup there with 5 toes, the dew claws were removed but there are 5 distinct toes with toenails. is that a serious genetic abnormality? from chris and tom

Is your Avongara from the Risha x Kasabu litter? If so then my half AF, Sophie is a cousin. Sophie's sire is Avongara Cole of Brushy Run, http://www.basenji.org/african/Cole.htm

Hi Fela!! Welcome to the Forum!!

I have 2 EL DORADO dogs!! They are great breeders. I'm sure you're gonna have lots of fun with your new pup. I may have met your little one already as I saw a couple of the El Dorado litters some time ago.

I'd love to see pics of your litte one.

[felakuti]

hi Eldorado owner….is it just me but do you think also that they have the most beautiful basenjis i have ever seen in my life?????? my pup is from the Heat litter, i think the litter pictures might still be up on their web site.

[felakuti]

hi, it's me again…am I mistaken but did i see a picture of your Topaz on the Eldorado website?????? :)

[jys1011]

They are beautiful little pups definitely!! There's a pickof my Topaz on their site "Available Adults" altho she's NOT available anymore :D And my C3PO has a pic up on their website he was finished March of 2006 under Ch. El Dorado's CThreePO by Sadiki

The lady in NY is Jean Martin, she was at the show in MD on Sunday. Jean had our Max's brother with her, it was cool to see him.

I had never met her before, she's our first B's breeder, I really enjoyed talking to her. She had this ridgeback that was just a big baby, but huge!:)

[nomrbddgs]

Yes she does have ridgies too!

The more I learn, the more fun it is and I was never that interested in dog shows. I'm just starting to understand just what they're looking at.:eek:

He is a really nice dog.:)
