Looking to trace Roxy's background - Basenji x Border Collie

Basenji Rescue
  • NicolaN

    Hello all,

    I made my way here in the hope of finding out where my Basenji x BC exactly came from and, if possible, would love to try and trace some of her littermates if there are any, that is. I know it's a bit much to ask, though, any information I do find would be very helpful.

    She's around 8 1/2 years old and apparently came from Dumfries, southern Scotland, UK, after an 'accidental' mating. Her mother is supposedly a tri colour Basenji and the father a BC.

    Now, I'm not sure but as far as I'm aware the litter was handed in to the local rescue centre in Dumfries, how Roxy ended up on the west coast of Scotland I don't know.

    After speaking to a couple of members on here at the SKC show on Sunday, they were able to tell me Roxy is one of Sandy's litter. (I have no idea whether you meant the dog's name was Sandy or the owners!).

    Any more information at all would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks. :)

    Presumably nobody knows any more information other than what I'm already aware of? :confused:

    Hi Nicola. I think Roxy's mother may be from Zande Basenjis?? Sally Wallis is the breeder. I'm not 100% sure but I do know that Sally bred a tri bitch which went the the dumfries area. Sally is on this forum her forum name is Zande. Maybe she will be able to help.

    Hi Vicki,

    Thanks for this info, I've posted Sally a message to see if she can help me. Fingers crossed!

    ETA: On Sunday I thought you said 'Sandy'!

    Actually, the more I think about it, I think it was a dog not a bitch of Sally's that was in Dumfries. Either way, Sally is a font of knowledge and her pedigree database is amazing. If you visit her website you can find out all sorts of stuff about Bs etc. :) www.zandebasenjis.com

    Ah, thanks for that!

    I've told Roxy that her mum's a Basenji, and now it seems she was a BC. Poor Roxy! She'll be confused now! :D

    We rescued our current B from Medfly - just north of LA. Karen at Medfly was wonderful to work with and we love our little girl!

    Our Mickey gets pretty nippy when excited, too, and it was much more of a problem when he had those crazy sharp puppy teeth, but now at 1 yr old he responds pretty quickly to "gentle" and "kisses", "no bite" prompts. But when he gets too worked up I have to just walk away because his first instinct is to mouth & he doesn't seem to know his own strength. Someone mentioned winter activities - I would strongly suggest looking into getting a Varsity Ball (if you google it it should come up) - they are indestructible and big! Def for outdoor only. My guy likes to roll his around and try to stand on it - it's pretty funny. And it's almost the only time you'll hear him growl and bark - he gets so worked up with it that I have to put it away sometimes or else the neighbors will think he's vicious (he sounds it when playing with this thing!). BUT he comes in from outside panting and exhausted, so it's a nice alternative for him. I would caution, though, that bc the ball is really hard, he's knocked it into our rain spouts and caused them to fall down. So just be careful if you have anything outside that could get damaged.

    @Nemo: Unless you have some information on the people you sold the pups to, I'm not sure how you would find them. Even if they are on Sally's database, she doesn't keep track of the owners, just breeders (and that isn't given publicly on the site). You'd be pretty lucky if they were on a forum like this. Maybe post on some of the basenji-related FB groups or pages too? and unfortunately i do not :( I dont know either. I know i talked to sally already about it and she said the same thing. Also she didnt even know the breeder so it didnt help anyways. Ya i would be, thats all there is about it. lucky is all u can be to get information with nothing.ill have to try the FB groups and see what happens. Im not sure but thank you for the help! @curlytails: You could also try Dogster.com. What is dogster.com? ill check it out..i dont think ive ever heard of it before.

    Figula as you live in Peterborough just to let you know that it is our club show on 28th March (Sunday) We are the Basenji Owners and Breeders Association and you are very welcome to come along. If you come at about midday, you could have lunch with some Basenji people and say hallo to us and our dogs. The venue is Alconbury Village Hall. If you're interested I can send you details.

    Without coming out and saying it, I'm getting that y'all have some info regarding the chances of Fanconi based on his lineage. We're encouraging anyone in our group to be aware of the risks and have him tested. Poor little guy.
