Mirtillo in the sand dunes

How the little fellow has grown I just loved those long leg´s and the sleep photo was so sweet as they said before in this post a tired basenji is a Happy Basenji:D

Oh, he's so cute and very happy in all that sand! That sure did tucker him out.

Hey Janneke !
Op welke locatie zijn deze foto's genomen want dit ziet er schitterend uit ! De Belgische kust is voor ons geen optie wegens volgebouwd dus verkennen wij graag jullie ongerepte natuurgebieden. Laat eens iets weten, misschien worden Tillo en Bendji wel dikke vrienden ;-) Nog 3 maanden …:DHey Janneke !
Where did you shoot these pictures because the scenery is superb !
The Belgian coastside isn't an option for us because it's to crowded so we'd like to explore the virgin nature reserves of your country. Give me a sign, maybe Tillo and Bendji become great friends ;-) Only 3 nerve-racking months ...:D -
Heyhey,
Deze foto's zijn genomen in de Soesterduinen.. in Soest (verrassend he ;)). Wat info: http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soesterduinen
Dit is veeeeeeeeeeeeeel dichter bij België (Tilburg/Waalwijk/'s Hertogenbosch):
http://www.nationaalpark.nl/ldd/default.xmlIn Apeldoorn heb je 'het leesten': http://www.hetleesten.nl/
Hier hebben ze een speciaal 'hondenbos' (heb ik ook ergens foto's van op dit forum) Er staat in dit geval dus een hek om een deel van het bos + hei! Echt superdepuper voor mensen met basenji's :DMocht je een keer naar Nederland komen om te lopen.. (in het weekend dan :)) dan moet je dat zeker even melden! Lijkt me gezellig om wat af te spreken!
In Amersfoort kun je ook nog naar de dierentuin….
Ok.. ik sla door.. maar NL is dus best leuk ;)
En ik vind Bendji echt een hele leuke naam! Heel veel succes met wachten! Heb je de ouders al ontmoet van je toekomstige baby? Spannend hoor..
Sorry.. no translation tonight ;)

Yes, yes, yes we stay in contact with Alain all the time. He had some very good results with Keep (Eldorado's Keeper of the Flame) in Mechelen(B) a couple of weeks ago. We already met the sire (Wanyika Fauzi) and the dam (Abotere's Badiri) and they both are gorgeous… I also looked up for their pedigree and it goes way down to 1937 !! As the gene pool of the Basenji's is very narrow I guess Tillo and Bendji maybe are relatives ! Great isn't it. I'll keep you informed ok.

Wanyika Fauzi will have another litter in the Netherlands this year (http://www.toka-kilima.nl/) so Bendji will have some half siblings as well :)
Tillo and Bendji will indeed be (far) relatives. Wazazi Grand Crusador is in both their pedigrees, as well as Faraoland Nile Wild Bambuti.
Please keep me informed! :)

Hey Janneke !
I just received an email from Alain: due to circumstances they are not going to breed this year with Wanyika Fauzi but with Ch. Abotere's Malik. I don't know the exact reason but I think it is an excellent choice they made. He also informed me that the dam, Ch. Abotere's Badiri came into heat yesterday, much earlier than expected so now we are sitting on the edge of our chairs …:D
Wow, is this stressing !
As promised, I'll keep you informed;) -
Always fun to see how international our basenji village is - really a small world, isn't it?:)

Yes, it really is a small world! :)

As they are serious breeders I think they are. They only breed Basenji's so I am pretty sure the pups are ok. But nevertheless I'll inquire after.

Greetz from a nervous awaiting "addict";)I hope your right :) I think it's very important that breeders test their dogs. You can read all about it on this forum! (I expect you did already… :D)
