  • Wow, congratulations on your basenji girl! Can't wait to see photos!

  • Congrats, where is your girl from ??

  • I can post a picture, but I can't figure out how. Can someone explain how and I'll try to post it.

    Oops, well I did something right and there is a thumbnail image of her.

  • Really cute…is her breeder Andrew @ Kivu?

    Really cute!!! and that would be my guess too…. Andrew... Let us know as many of us are related by our Basenjis.... And some of Andrew's (if that is the breeder) has related Basenjis to my C-Me and Franie.....

  • Wow, she is adorable..how exciting…congratulations again.

    +1 - please let us know who the parents are…Andrew has one of my girl Ruby's daughters (Raven) and I think she was bred this year.

  • Sorry, I was rushing before and didn't give the name of the breeder, but yes, it is Andrew Sawler. I'll meet him tomorrow, but from talking to him on the phone and emails, he sounds like a very nice person.

    So very cool that Renaultf1, you apparently have my pups grandmother, because Raven is the mom and Obo is the dad. My pup was named by Andrew and even though he said I could change it, I actually like her name and it seems very appropriate for me, since I'm a kindergarten teacher. Her name is Ellaminnowpea, Ella for short. In kindergarten, the kids like to say LMNOP as if it were one word. I think Ella is a pretty name, so that's what I will call her. I am so excited. I can't wait. I will post more pictures when she is finally home. I've been doing a lot of shopping, including online getting her some things. I just want to hold and cuddle her. I probably won't get a lot of sleep tonight!

  • dmarie or renaulft1 - what are their registered names…. interested to see if related to Franie or C-Me

  • OMG, her name is too cute!!! I love it and your pup is very cute. Andrew is a super nice person and wickedly funny - and very knowledgeable and helpful. Very cool that my Ruby is your pup's grandma - I've always thought Raven is lovely! Definitely post pics up when you get Ella.

    Congrats again!

    Raven is Ch. Eldorado 'n Akuaba's Nevermore (out of Ch. Eldorado's Bejeweled and Am/Can Ch Candu's Rocket Man). Obo is a Klassy son from Debbie's litter last year (can't remember his registered name, but he finished his championship last year). So yes, Pat, related to your C-Me?

  • Her name rocks..brilliant. I can't wait to see her in pictures…

  • I put a picture of my little Ella under forum section, Show Off your dog. Still not sure how to properly post pictures, but there is a thumbnail image there.

    My heart breaks reading your wonderful story of Dinah - it is so clear she is a huge part of your heart -you will have such wonderful memories of her when it is her time to give up the pain. I also do not believe dogs don't have souls - of course they do - the unconditional love they give, the way they try to help when you are emotionally suffering, the joy they get when they see you coming after a separation - all these and more are proof they are very soulful. A loving companion dog is God's gift. All our hearts are with you, and our tears flow with yours. God bless.

    I look forward to your pictures. I'm a technophobe too - I keep telling myself I can do it but so far haven't posted any. One of my bitches was spoiled for the show ring by such a judge who didn't know how to approach a hound (although he was a Saluki judge and should have!). She was experienced at showing as well but was traumatised because when she backed away at his front on, silly voice approach she nearly fell from the table! Of course she blamed the fall on his approach. I worked on her intensively but to no avail. Yes, Basenjis on the whole are friendly and they never forget a friend either!

    I live near the mountains in Colorado. There are some great trails with open space all around to let thme run around. Gosh I'm so jealous!! We don't have any plasce we could let our pooches loose. I would love a big open space sans any basenji prey :) that way they'll come back
