Intro


  • Just wanted to post to introduce myself to the forum.
    I'm Kathryn D. Ladick of Jaroufa Hounds.
    Some of you know of me and others know me.
    I've been active in basenjis for 32 years.I show,race and breed basenjis.Currently the owner of the #1 NOTRA racing basenji and until last week-end the #1 LGRA racing basenji ( soon to regain the spot before the end of the year),UKC Champion Kiroja Chicago Hood at Jaroufa,SGRC,JOR,ORC.I'm quite happy with Rocky because in just 6 short months he has outdone himself.He is Lightning fast and undefeated in LGRA and in NOTRA has only lost one race( and only because it was his first NOTRA and wasn't sure of the turn).A big Thank you to Kelli Harmon of Kiroja Basenjis for Rocky.
    It is also home to Jaroufa's Jungle Music,GRC(Joshua) and many other young basenjis soon to be hitting the race field.
    I'm also equally proud of my sweet Classy,Jaroufa's Class Action.She is 12 years old and a cancer survivor and still racing. She is not the fastest and sometimes doesn't finish but she does love to come out and run.
    Her young son,Jaroufa's Passum'Lik A Flash will make his racing depute next month.

    Welcome to the forum. Sorry you're having difficulty finding a pup. There is an imbalance between people looking for a Basenji puppy and available puppies. Basenjis don't have large litters, there aren't a ton of breeders, and there is only one heat a year. As a consequence the supply is somewhat limited. Plus, as I'm sure you're aware, breeding takes a lot of time, effort, and money. It's a labor of love more than anything. That said, I'd be quite confident that you'll be able to find a puppy. As I'm sure you know from experience, most conscientious breeders care where their pups land. In your case that's a good thing because there is a chance you'll have your dog compete, which most would find desirable. As for not being sure what a win looks like, judging is subjective. A loser on day one can win breed and class on day two. (Not only with dogs. I was reading today about how SnapChat has "pretty filters" that always turn eyes blue). It's easier of where the competition is performance based.
