To Georges Nana- I'm so thrilled to hear my pups and young adults ding well-- they always have a placein my heart here on the red river( Rio Grande) in New Mexicoi- Doing some retraining myself on a girl who was out showing and finished her G ch with some gr placements who definintely needs some reacquaintance with her home virtues- back to rehoming as she is a beautiful talented girl- My original trainer died this week of pancreatic cancer quite suddenly so I am on my own only with her parting words to guide me- so I hope my successful training program continues Her uncle Tibby andI are working with her together.
Non-Basenji, however very interesting from the person that bred/started Labradoodles
-
Here is an article quoting the man that bred the first Labradoodles and how he now regrets making the cross. Of particular interest when you read this, note that in a litter you could get NO non-allergenic pups and that testing of each pup is needed. He also quotes all the other health concerns with this cross.
This is exactly why purebred dog breeders of all breeds cringe at the idea of people "making" their own breeds.
