Name that pup!

Basenji Puppy Pen
  • She is beautiful, and I like Sherwood's Keeping Secrets

  • I'll take her!!!!

    Oh wait, that's not what this is about… LOL

    I like Sherwood's Keeping Secrets also.
    Second choice would be Sherwood's Secret Reflection.

    I like Secret Endeavor, but that sounds more like a boy to me.

    Have you ever gone with a Robin Hood, ie Sherwood Forest theme? {Or is that just to corny for words?}

  • I like the Sherwood Forest theme too :) How about Sherwood's secret Maid Marion and call the beautiful pup "marion".

  • She is very beautiful and I too, love "Keeping Secrets" and you all are so clever!

  • I like Secret Endeavor.

  • @JazzysMom:

    Funny you should say that…...

    When I was selecting a kennel name to use, I wanted something reasonably short, easy to spell and pronounce, and easy to remember. My name is Robyn and the Basenjis are true hoodlums so Sherwood it was! :p

  • I'm with Jazzy…if you can't find her a home..I'll TAKE HER :D :D she sure is a beauty! And what a spittin image of her papa :)

    I like Secret Reflection (Reflection of daddy that is :) ha!)

  • @jys1011:

    I'm with Jazzy…if you can't find her a home..I'll TAKE HER :D

    Sorry folks this girl is staying with me but if you are interested in one of her brothers…..... ;)

  • How about this: Sherwood's Mystery Reflection and call her "Mystery" or "Misty" for short. This one covers both the fact that Mom kept her a "secret" and the fact that she looks like Dad (reflection)!;) :cool:

  • How about Sherwood's Secret Crush?

    Did you say you have boys? :D
    J/K, I have to wait until the baby is old enough. :(

  • I like Secret Reflection

  • @YodelDogs:

    (Mama dog kept her condition a secret until she was about to pop.)

    Just a little curious - but do you mean that you didn't know the Mama was pregnant? Did she have only one pup? Very interesting!

  • @Duke:

    :o

  • @YodelDogs:

    :o

    :)

    They are LOVELY puppies…see, Baron and Pippin knew what they were doing :)

  • ok ok ok I can't stand it anymore…what's the winning name!!! The suspense is killing ME slowly :D :D :D

  • Great story…love the bathrobe and the incident at the vet - LOL! they all are beautiful, as you know!

  • Ha Ha Ha I can see Robyn in the bathrobe trying to get the dogs in the door-Ha Ha Ha. If I didn't have so many already I'd take one. But I don't think Shadow would appreciate it. And I am partial to blacks as well!

  • The perfect name popped in my head as I was driving home today. Something I had not even thought of until then.

    legacy - something that is handed down or remains from a previous generation or time

    This little girl will be formally registered as Sherwood's Secret Legacy!

    You guys came up with some GREAT suggestions! Thanks to everyone for joining in the fun. Now….to decide what I'm going to call her. :p

    @Buddys: I agree, well said Robyn. A very well rounded reply, and I appreciate your time in explaining the options that are out there. I am not one who advocates adopting ONLY from a shelter or rescue. I love to hear that it happens, but totally respect the choice of wanting a pedigree. I just hope that anyone who breeds for what ever reason does follow responsible guidelines for the prospective new owners, health and welfare of the puppies, dams and sires, and of the wholesomeness(?) of the breed of choice. I do have a waiting list for the future puppies (besides the ones that myself and the co breeder are keeping.) I also have a contract that states for any reason the puppies are welcome back at any time for any reason and i highly urge this to my potential owners (i say required but we all know that people fall through loops when you say required) anyways All of my dogs are health tested and the sire is health tested too. Fanconi, eyes, thyroid, and the hips I am waiting for results but she isnt in heat yet so i hope i will get it before they are bred. Trust me, I also know how rescues are. I have rescued (www.foreverfriendsrescue.webs.com) since 2008 when i rescued my first dog scheduled to be put down that day i went into the pound, and i never really stopped) so i know the effects that bad breeders can have on the dog population. Which is why we need to have more responsible breeders out there. Ones who do the health testing, ones who care where there puppies go, ones who want to help the breed, ones who give a $h!t. I love this breed. They are my world and i just cant live without them. They chose me. I chose them. Its the only breed that is right for ME. and I know this. I love showing (only been to a few so far, as i am fairly new) but i love it and i enjoy meeting new people that share the love of basenjis too and I enjoy the fun and sport of it. I really want to do what is right with breeding, which is why i have waited to find a good breeder to help me along and to help guide me as my mentor. Miah is a wonderful dog, so close to standard. and so pretty. nice pedigree and the most supurb temperament also. With my mating (dorsey x miah) I expect great things! Me and my co owner are really excited as is the sire owner. We cant wait for this litter. I know breeding is a huge controversy because of all the unwanted pets in the world, but i have been there with rescueing and if i truely didnt feel like my dog was worthy of it, and i truely didnt feel like I could do it CORRECTLY, i honestly wouldnt. but thank you for your input. I know you care, as do we. but i really am trying to do it right. Spent lots of money getting tests done, and finding a really nice bitch to start with, and getting the knowledge. (I got my first basenji 11 years ago! and i have researched and experienced the whole time!) After 11 years, i feel i am finally ready to take the step and breed my bitch to start my kennel where i want to continue to show and create loving, family pets. as well as fun things like coursing and agility, etc..

    Although "NO" became what Shaye most heard, along with " drop it" (she's too quick for "leave it," so "drop it" has replaced that) and "get off the table" and "stop digging the screens" (on the porch), lately we have been firmly saying her name, then squirting her in the face with a squirt bottle. Amazing how well that works - of course the entire house is getting wet but she's getting the picture that when we pick up the squirt bottle and show it to her, she'd best stop whatever it is she's doing. Gemma, of course, responds to "stop" and "leave it." Must be the "other" kind of dog in her….

    Thank you Tanza. I was very curious. ill have to check out AKC. Thank you AgileBasenji. Yes i do live here so it would just be for fun and for some experience. I dont blame you on the points tho because it would be alot of money to not get anything out of it.
