    Which I have hanging right here by the computer :)

    I love some of those dogs on there, what a life it must be for them.

  • No names needed LOL :wink:

    But I THANK Mr. Nameless because she is just BEAUUUUUUUTIFUL :D :D :D OMG! What a cutie I just want to eat her up :) And it looks like they are all adjusting to the new family member.

  • @Basenji_Boy:

    Due to a limited gene pool, they went to Africa and brought back more dogs.

    http://basenji.org/african/intro.htm

    This site will help, be sure to check the online library.

    The 'domestic' lines of Basenjis come down from about 12 original dogs imported to the western world in the 1930s.

    There were the imports BBoy mentioned added in the late 1980s. Then there were more imports brought in over the last few years, who will also hopefully be added to the AKC registry in the next year or so.

    Most of the latter day imports, and their decendants (when bred to other Avongara dogs) go by the registered name "Avongara" ..which indicates they are 100% blood from recent imports. Some breeders focus on breeding lines of Avongara dogs to keep long lines of separate genetic material. Some breeders mix Avongara lines with their domestic to infuse new genes. Some breeders have only domestic lines.

    All Basenjis with the brindle pattern go back to the Avongara dogs somewhere in their pedigree. That is a color that was reintroduced with the 80s imports.

    Hopefully that helps a little :)

  • wahhh! i want another one! no fair, no fair.
    seriously, she is gorgeous! she looks like corduroy. i bet she is a good snuggler.

  • Such beautiful dogs. Love the brindle!!! What a cutie!!

    I would add, the BCOA/African Stock Project is looking for more information/pictures of the offspring of these dogs…..half Africans and the like. If you have a descendant of the Avongara dogs, they are looking for pictures, health issues, behavior and so on to post on the African Stock Project site.:cool:

  • She is so cute, those eyes, one could just drown in them :)

    They all look so cosy on those snuggle pics, one just want to dive right in :D

  • she is OMG CUTE! I was SO hoping you'd post more pics! :)

    He can run off-leash allmost everywhere here. Most days I don't need his leash at all. Only have to watch for foxes. He really hates those and will go after them untill he gets them. Good thing is he has an excellent recall. And he is allways watching me, wont go further away from me then 50 meters. So walking him isn't a problem at all (as long as no foxes cross our path that is…).

    Okay, clearly you knew Kipawa was Scarlett's brother. Well to both of you, Olive (formerly Fina) just left after spending the day here playing with Lyric (formerly Kiki). Her mom and dad had dinner with us while the dogs played and played and played. Olive is adorable as well, but then how could she not be. And still small but filling out, Olive looks just like her daddy Sober. Hug both Scarlett and Kipawa for us and so glad you guys hooked up here. Therese

    @Kipawa: I love the licking/kiss picture. You can tell your basenji's almost think of Ryan as "their property". Great coursing photos - once your b's catch the lure, what is the look on their face? Is it like "darn it, I thought I was chasing a rabbit", or is just having the lure good enough for them. Sending you some nice hot tea and unpollinated fresh air. Hope you are feeling better soon. The only thing they think is: GOT IT GOT IT GOT IT :D

    Gorgeous Pup and you sure live in a lovely place. He looks like he's caught an interesting scent in the fourth pic from the bottom.
