Breeder Talk
  • The forum is so hard in the winter– all those new puppies for those of us who are puppyless to drool and envy. Heavy happy sigh. Congrats-- here's hoping for healthy happy new pups.

  • LOL…. "young".... if only... more like old and crazy enough...

    And thanks... works for me 6 (3 & 3). The stud owner sent me a text and said "I hop you have 8 or 9.... " I sent back, if I do you will find anything over 6 being fedx'ed to you!

    I was going to say 7 - all boys, but I like you.

  • Lmao, too funny agilebasenji,
    I like Pat too, I say five- either 4:1 or 2:3 ratio

    If the stud owner doesn't want the extras you can send them to me :D I love naughty puppies :D

    Good luck!

    LOL, could happen

  • 2nd Breeding done yesterday…. Ultrasound October 25th

  • looking forward to seeing photos in Nov of the happy babies.

  • Just curious- what does FedEx label a box like that? SPERM inside ? DON'T TIP?

    Just wondering, lol

  • LOL Chealsie!!!!! Not labeled anything special, there is special packaging that the Vet uses as the sperm is chilling and spun down, so the container is pretty small! It is the dry ice that takes up most of the package.

  • Lol, for all I knew it could have been labeled "LIVE ANIMALS"! I didn't know if rules and regulations state that anything of that nature needed to have special labeling for the handler. That's good to know, gives me a chuckle though that the FedEx deliverer didn't know what he was handling
    :D

  • Oh no, not puppy season again! My husband wanted a puppy last year but I was too late to contact anyone and reserve, then we adopted Chipley and filled our quota.
    Don still talks about wanting a naughty puppy, he is home full time so he deserves one, but 4 is way too many, and Nicky would never forgive us.

    I would love to VISIT a houseful of puppies. I'm sure yours will be amazing, Pat.

    I have 4 and I'm perfectly sane. (Of course one is a malinois and she's crazier than all the basenjis put together)

    No, really I am.

    I AM too sane.

    Uhm, oh, well, okay, maybe you're right.

  • Ultrasound complete! And the count is SEVEN….. pictures will be on my website this evening!

  • Whoo hoo, that's awesome news!!! Seven tri puppies, you should be certifiably insane!!!!

    I can't wait to see the pics and hear the great news of their arrival

    CONGRATULATIONS

  • Pictures of the ultrasound now posted at www.tanzabasenjis.net

    And yes I will be certifiably insane! Litter should be due November 27-29, 2012…. might even get to have a "quiet" Thanksgiving dinner"... but will be a bouncing Christmas and New Year!!!!!!!!!

    Oh and in case you are interested... I was DONE when they got to 5!!!!!!!!!!!

  • How is the expectant mom doing?? I'd love to meet a pregnant basenji..I'd imagine they look like pot bellied pigs!!

    Did she take well to the ultrasound?

  • Right now she really doesn't look any different and she is doing great… she showed this past weekend (a bit thicker in the waist), but she is still chasing squirrels... eating like she usually does.... of course talk to me when she is about a week from birth... she should look like a stuffed pig... I was pretty sure the breeding took, her nipples have enlarged and turned pink.... that didn't happen with her other seasons... but not always a sure sign.

  • Congratulations. Looking forward to puppy pictures in December!

  • Looking forward to hearing about all the mischief that 7 basenji puppies can come up with :D

    Congratulations!

    4 sounds like a very manageable number.. I will keep my fingers crossed that they will come out in colors wished/hoped for. Either way they will be absolutely adorable, I am sure of that.

    @Quercus: <> Right...I wasn't sure if that was the litter that Sue was referring to? But I don't know of her doing any other brother/sister breeding. So yes, Ariel is a product of that breeding. The idea was to do a test breeding to see what genetically, if anything, might be brought out. By doing an inbreeding, you can 'expose' recessive genes, and see what you've actually got. You can also set (as in permanantly set) type...but, that wasn't the goal in Sue/Jeff's breeding. In this case, the two "best" "typey" puppies from this litter will most likely be bred on from, as long as they test out as genetically and physically healthy, they will most likely be out-crossed, to bring in different genes. Ariel's brother, George, is quite stunning, and is easily the best looking puppy in the litter. Ariel has a beautiful head, but is long in body, short in leg. Neither one is what we consider a "show dog" ;) And the litter's sire is quite handsome!.... the dam of the litter, while long in the back and short on leg (like it sounds Ariel is) has a great temperament... both are great to build on the future.... and breeding out from these pups will be great to build on too.... I am pretty sure that would be the breeding Sue was talking about, like you I don't know of any other brother/sister breeding she and Jeff has done.
