Hello from Holland!

[WBL]

@Janneke:

We have now contacted two breeders from the Czech Republik: Asthenia and Salasirian. They both have a red and white male available for us.
So.. now we have to choose!

I looked both them up, the Asthenia basenjis, the litter is sired by a wonderful dog Gooses Burnt Ember, his owner is a member of this forum also. This litter also has a wonderful pedigree.

Salasirian Basenji's has very nice looking dogs, and this litter has a good looking pedigree. What's the Fanconi results to this litter?

Do you have pics of what pups you have to choose from?

It must be a very hard choice, but if it was just me, I'd go with the pup from Asthenia, I like the look of them better and I like the look of the parents also. Good to go with your instincts to it makes me very happy also to see people doing their research, with any breed, but especially with basenjis

[Janneke]

Jenson is probably carrier and Fedora is probably clear.
I love the look of Kwame! But Jenson is a very nice dog as well.. he is from a Dutch breeder, the one who told me to go 'beyond borders..'

These are the pups:

1: Asthenia

2: Salasirian

I really like the liner and colour so far.

[Janneke]

At Salasirian I can choose from two pups, but I only like the look of Awangu..

Oh my that us a tough choice….they are both absolutely ADORABLE!!!!

I agree that both are wonderful looking dogs, as well as both mothers, I think what draws me to Abanda & Kwame's pup is the lack of white on the head, I really like that in reds, makes them a little different than the rest

This guy from Jetson and Fedora(?hope I guessed name right?) is way cute to, I love how his little blaze looks like an arrow head

[Janneke]

Maybe I have to take them both

I love the two front legs of the first pup and the fact that there is no white on the head. I don't like it when there is too much white.
The second pup.. well.. he's just selling himself on this picture..

[Janneke]

Ok.. we decided to go for Buburu from Asthenia!

I was wrong about the fanconi test results: Fedora and Jenson are both probably carrier.

But we actually already decided on the looks..
I believe that those who just gave a reaction.. were more charmed by him as well.

Now we have to wait untill April…. The pup can leave his mom at the end of February, but we are moving to a new home around that time..

I'm really chuffed you have gone with Buburu, I have told his dad!!:D

[Janneke]

That's great! how did he react? :p

How exciting!!! Now the long wait, oh that must be torture. Thats to bad that Jenson and Fedora are both carriers. I wonder why they did the breeding then? They should have had plenty of time for the tests before the breeding

[Janneke]

Well.. I know that Fedora was tested prob. carrier before the breeding. Jenson's testresults came back when the pups were already born.

I'm really excited about the pup!! If I have new photo's, I'll post them!

[basi]

I can't understand why they didn't test before the mating took place

Just aswell you did your homework;)

[wizard]

Welcome to the forum and keep us informed about which pup you end up with!

[AugenJ]

Welcome Janneke! Cute pups!

so you are not getting a pup from the litter with a breeding of Carrier to Carrier?

@tanza:

No Janneke has decided to go for the other pup where the sire is clear (my male Kwame) and the dam is a carrier.

[Janneke]

Yup, that's correct. I do feel sorry for the breeder, because I first contacted him in December, when the testresults of Jenson weren't known yet. Now he still hasn't sold one of his pups..

I haven't heard from the other breeder since I told her that we would like to have her pup. (this was on monday)
I hope she contacts me very soon!
