ELDORADO N AKUABA LUCKY CHARMER
Any chance of knowing her registered name so she too can be added to the on-line database ? Such a cute little number with an obvious future should surely be recorded !
-
You are going to have SO much laughter and fun and love with your beautiful little Rogue. My black and white Binti is the light of my life-she is 10 now but she is still my "puppy" and she still acts like one.
-
I just can't get over this face!
-
And am I seeing things, or are these little brindle pips? -

Charmer hasn't been in the show ring yet due to covid.
"Yes but he hasn’t been in the show ring yet. Her mother is Quick Step or Ginger and she is Oso’s mom and a very dark red which is why yours is such a dark brindle. She is also a Klassy/Tango daughter."
I'll get you the sire's sire and dam info later tonight.
-
@roguecoyote - Brindles do not get "pips" like a Tri does. This is just the brindle markings.
-
So Charmer's sire is AKUABA N ELDORADO CHARIOTS OF FIRE, who's sire is STERNHIMMELS GENERIS SUI, and who's dam is ELDORADO'S AKUABA WITH ONE LOOK.
Charmer's dam is AKUBA N ELDORADO CANDY STRIPES, whos sire is ELDORADO N AKUABA THE LAST SAMURAI. (cool!) Her dam is AKUABA N ELDORADO BETCHA BY GOLLY WOW!
They are all champions.
-
@roguecoyote what I need is Rogue's registered name. Or registration number. You already gave the parents.
-
@zande Well, I haven't been sent the registration papers yet, but she should be in as MATA HAURI ROGUE.
-
@nancyss That's funny, because one of the things that struck me about the breed, the first time I saw one in person, (during my interview with the breeder) was that all the adult dogs had this adorable puppy quality about them that just melted my heart. I said it before, but I'm so lucky to have my rogue. What with them only going into heat usually once a year, and the small litter size, I had no idea how long I would have to wait. I have never felt so lucky.

She is beautiful! so glad you have her in your home and in your heart!

@elbrant That one's deffinately on my 80s hits mix tape!

Beautiful Girl!!!!
You should definitely get with your breeder (or a mentor) and try showing, I had zero intentions of showing when I got my two but my Ivy was already showing (I got her at 2 years old) and I agreed to bring her to some shows for the summer for my breeder to try and finish her championship (she did :), and the next thing I knew, poof! I was standing in a show ring going "how did this happen!?!" The truth is my girl is awesome with people and dogs because of all her showing. I started my boy right away in hopes he would turn out as good as her. He is now awesome with people and not quite as friendly as my girl with other dogs but he does know how to behave himself around them. It has definitely made him a much better dog and its really fun to do. You also need to try dome racing-lure course and fastcats, it is just awesome to see them do what they are designed for. I'm also working on some scent work-its still in progress but I think we'll get there....Good luck with your girl, you're going to love showing her off no matter what you do! Such a beauty! -
@roguecoyote If only more people were as cooperative <sigh>
She has been registered, along with her 5 siblings and all are now safely in the database. If you go to my signature block, open the database, and ask it for 'Rogue' she is there (or will be shortly) and you can have hours of fun looking through all the lines of her pedigree.
-
@roguecoyote You ARE lucky...and your little rogue will NEVER let you forget it, either! Basenjis are just SO wonderful!!!!!

Rogue had her first bark today. Mom was running the vacuum downstairs while I was feeding rogue. She's kinda weird in that she won't eat more than 3/4 of her meals unless I hold her bowl for her. I don't know why. Anyway, so she's eating, and mom turns the vacuum on and rogue starts scratching at the door. So i take her downstairs, and put her down, and she starts playing with the vacuum like its a dog, prancing around it and doing play bows. I wish i had a video. Anyway, so then she surprises us and barks at it, twice. I wish I had treats so i could capture 'speak' but honestly I don't think she would have even taken them at that point. At least now I know she can do something other than squeak. No baroos yet, but i'm still hoping.
-
@roguecoyote A Basenji needs to hear baroos and yodels to keep up the habit, even if they have done it as babes, they do tend to forget. You have to learn to do it, and baroo to her so she hears it and remembers (hopefully) her mother doing it.
I doubt she barked. It sounds like a bark, but is a single, open mouth sort of cough. Not a closed mouth continuous sound like any other dog. I would begin to worry if Rogue started barking.
You find some examples on YouTube and learn to yodel at her !
-
@zande - My Franie has yodeled 5 times in 11yrs... LOL, my C-Me talks all the time between a Boof/bark type... and a yodel... but only started at 9yrs...her type of bark sounds very much like a bark, but it is a single bark type and has become very vocal in the last 2yrs. In 30yrs in the breed I only had one other that would yodel lots and the other 4 that she lived with couldn't care less... LOL...
-
@roguecoyote - Hello roguecoyote, are you feeding her in his crate? I would suggest that you do not hold the food bowl for him, give him her food and a certain amount to time to finish it. If he doesn't take it away till the next feeding. She will learn to eat what is given her... she need to learn this and not be pampered to eat. How often are you feeding her? At her age 3x's a day is good at this point. Do not pamper her.... if she is hungry she will eat... if she doesn't finish... she is full...
