Rugosa Basenjis

Does anyone know what happened to Rugosa Bs? I check the site periodically just to see what's up and look at her pictures, and apparently there was an accident and they've closed, at least temporarily. I've always loved her site - she's so devoted to the dogs and her pictures are so beautiful. Hope she (they) will be okay.

As it says on the website, there was a very bad car accident. Vickie is recovering and doing so much faster than any of her doctors had expected but it will be a long recovery. She is out of the hospital and back home with her family and dogs.

Thanks - I'm glad to hear she's doing well.

I talked to Vickie just the other day, and she is doing great. She is still recovering from brain injury related to the accident, but is very much getting back to 'herself'. She does have plans to be breeding again in the future, as long as her recovery continues to progress as well as it is. Good news for all of us, as she is one of the most thoughtful and dedicated breeders involved in the breed that I know

Thanks so much for the info. I don't know her personally, but it's always been obvious, even through the internet, that she's totally dedicated to the breed and her dogs. I'm very glad that she's doing so well and I hope that she able to continue breeding.

That is great to hear Andrea… thanks for posting it. Parry talks to her quite often too.... and she is a "breeder" to die for... IMO.... you could never go wrong...

Thanks for the update, Andrea, haven't read anything on the B-list for a while, and I have always admired Vickie.
