Asthenia breeding plan 2011

  • 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 :).

  • congratulations

    I had a Westie, that past over the rainbow bridge late March, that was allergic to storage mites. Storage mites are basically in anything stored on shelves in warehouses or stores for longer periods of time, like dry kibble, flour, grains and the like. So essentially he couldn't eat any dry nothing, so we went on raw and he did great. Of course he was also allergic to mold and flea saliva. Mold allergy and living in Houston, TX is a bad combo, it is everywhere, due to the humidity we have, and of course that also makes fleas very hardy. Bogus was on frontline and advantage together most of his life, that was the only way to keep fleas off of him and fur on him. He lived to be 13 years, which for me is way too young, but for a dog that has been on steroids and several meds throughout his life, realisticly it is not short. Either way, he clearly should not have been considered a breeding dog, even thought he was a beautiful example of what West Highland White Terriers should be like. My point, it depends on what type of allergies the dog has and the severity of them, in my ever so humble opinion..

    The other option for hips before the age of 2 years is PennHip which does certifications at a younger age than OFA.
