Hi all,
firstly I would like to thank you all for your congratulations and nice words :).
And secondly it is official that we are expecting puppies. Today Buju was ultrasounded and there have been 4 pups probably :D.
Will keep you posted with news and also pics of expectant mother :).

CONGRATS! Can't wait for pics.

A few questions… I do know some basenji don't go in heat in the fall times, and some go twice a year. Is it common in your line for the bitches to come in heat in the Spring? Not a breeder of basenjis so excuse if a silly question.

My second was about this:

Firstly we planned to mate Buju to our older boy Geasy but unfortunately he wasn?t interested in her enough to mate her. His motto was "do it yourself" . Old silly boy . So I hope for next year…

If you wanted to use that stud, can you not do artificial insemination? Seems waiting another year if he is older (not just older than the one you used), will only decrease sperm count. Or are there regs against it there?

Good luck.

I don't think it is a silly question ;).
Well, Buju's mother Abanda has had fall season only as same as females behind her.
I suppose Buju inherited that spring heat (she has heat once a year only) from her grandma from father's side (am I right, Jenny? ).

And about that older stud. I would prefer natural mating as I already plan to inseminate her for her last litter. And I think two insemination would be enough. Anyway one year is a long time and plans aren't always 100% so we will see :).

Yes Irena you are right Buju's grandmother Cali had springs seasons and Buju's dad was born from one of them. I much prefer spring seasons to winter seasons as it is much nicer getting the puppies outside in the nicer weather.

Here is a pic of Buju which I took on Sunday, the 36th day of her pregnancy.

And here is also Masai, father-to-be :).
