  • Nice b…welcome.

  • I just noticed this thread. Sorry to be so behind the times. My little girl Chloe is Jack's littermate and you are right, I have been showing her, today was our fourth show and our first outdoors one. What a mess. Lots of mud!! Aren't they the greatest little pups?

  • Oh, I forgot. Chloe just happened to get winners bitch today…...

  • @Kebasmom:

    Oh, I forgot. Chloe just happened to get winners bitch today…...

    That is super… congrats..... how many points?

  • I think one, but it's her very first!

  • Hey…. everyone needs the first one... so that is great.... congrats

  • And what/where was the show?

  • It was the Warrenton show at the Long Branch in VA.

  • Belated welcome and congratulations on first point.

  • Karen - so nice to hear from you! And congrats on her win!!! Very neat to find Jack's litter-sister online here. I only get on here sporadically but it's wonderful to connect like this. Is she your first B? I get the sense you have some experience here. Yes, amazing and wonderful and sometimes frustrating pups! But I can't imagine life without him now;)

  • Chloe is not my first B. She's my fifth!! I got my first one, a red and white, in 1976 and then a black and white show dog out in California in 1978 and then had a long dry stretch until 2004 when I got a Tri that passed away. I currently have two show Bs. My boy that is a Tri is almost two and Chloe, who is a Trindle. I can't remember if I saw Jack at Doris' house. Did you pick him up in the morning or afternoon? I just remember that I wanted ALL of them!! :) There was a couple there when I got Chloe. Maybe it was you!! Yes they are trying, which is the word I used when I went and did a BRAT thing at the shelter last week. The couple adopted the B anyway and I haven't heard anything from them or the shelter so I guess they're doing OK….

  • Wow - your 5th! See I had a sense there you had some major B experience ;) We picked up Jack early that day, think we might have been the first to arrive, and only met one other man picking up a little girl, Stella, he lived in NY city I think. I think there was another couple arriving just after we left for the other little boy in the litter, that might be who you saw. I tell you when I walked in, I was just completely in awe of all those precious pups! So tiny, I just did not picture so tiny! We are on Doris's list for a little girl if we are lucky out of a breeding this fall. Jack needs a playmate!!! Well so nice to connect with you and hope to continue to do so. Good luck with your shows!

    At 18 months and 7lbs I very much doubt that he's got Basenji in him but who knows. It doesn't matter,- he's a delightfulchap and good to have you both on here. Looking forward to more pictures.

    The choice is most certainly yours. And thank you for your interest in our breed. And now you may be able to educate others about the breed we care for.

    @longshot: Yes, I would love to adopt him myself… but I am a first-time dog owner, and I am a little intimidated by the reputation of the Basenji --even though in this case he is 1/2 Pug which has an "easier" reputation. Are they sure he is a basenji mix or are they just guessing based on the curly tail and erect ears? He looks more like a Chi mix to me. I just found out on Monday the new "hybrid craze" is the "chug" a Chi x Pug. http://www.flickr.com/photos/troynielsen/2236562915/
