How do I go about registering Roux in your database?
I did it already and uploaded it. It is a fascinating pedigree. I see she also has FCI (Federation Canine Internationale - or something like that !) in her name so expect Mom was also bred somewhere near China ? Therefore, forget any reference to Poland in this instance.
Can you confirm her country of birth so I can add it to her entry and her mother's. The similar registrations (KCT) indicate they are the same. We can change Mom's name very easily if we find we have read it incorrectly. Her parents now have registration numbers !
Please try to get photos of the parents if you can and persuade the breeder to tell you of siblings.
Going back to your descriptions of her behaviour - there is nothing there that I have not witnessed over and over again or which doesn't go on in my house right now ! Roux is a very well balanced, typical Basenji Madame !

Wow this is wonderful! I had no idea this was such a small world!
Unfortunately, I'm only in touch with the breeder of Roux here who owns Belaxe Chinatop and Dietburg, and he imported them. I can ask about their siblings, but I'm not sure how much info I'll get! Any specific questions? I'll have to translate into Chinese for him.
Fei might be just Fei because in Chinese it probably means to fly :D
I can indeed confirm that Roux was born here in Taiwan, and I found that KCT means Kennel Club of Taiwan!
Here're Roux's parents:

@roux The world of Basenjis is tiny ! So many of us know each other or are related through our Basenjis. Such a shame that so many are missing from the database - I guess some folks are just not interested in where their pets come from or in details of their parents.
Not sure that I could use that particular picture in view of what is going on ! Individual pictures of the parents would be great.
What I would like from Roux's breeder, as I have her parents, is confirmation of Mom's name, and the registered names of any brothers and sisters.
Registered names of Dad's AND Mom's brothers and sisters too.

So the breeder got back to me and it turns out he kept all three of her siblings for himself! I guess that's a good thing? I got the pick of the litter LOL
Here are Roux's siblings:
He said he's only got the parents', and not their siblings' information, but he'll email their breeders about that. He'll get back to me with photos of the parents when he gets back to his computer :)
I searched for Roux and she's on there! This is so cool! I need to pose her very professionally for her database picture :grinning_squinting_face: -

LOL you know I only realized what's going on in the photo when I saw it blown up on this much bigger screen! HAHAHA so sorry I subjected y'all to that!
I'll see what I can get from the breeder! :DMany of us have witnessed this in real life. First time I've seen a photo of it. :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:

Thank you very much for these, Michelle, but I think it fairer to Forums to move on to private email. Please could you send any further data (and I hope there will be lots over time !) to me to my email address ?

@roux Not a question of etiquette ! Just that I have long since learned that (sadly !) 99% of forum members are not interested in pedigree data and I hesitate to bore them, beyond my normal pleas for names and parentage when a new Basenji is introduced. Which, also sadly, fall on deaf ears most of the time :crying_face:

@zande Totally agree Zande, there are many for whatever reasons will not show the breeding on their pups... this is a shame because it is important that the pedigree site that Zande does is complete... helps everyone... and yes many times it falls on deaf ears....

I wish I had an answer for you, Sally. Keeping track of lineage is a HUGE advantage for any breed. I've never met a responsible breeder who doesn't refer to pedigrees when making mating choices. I don't see myself as an owner of a Basenji. I see myself as a custodian of the breed. Part of that is to help keep the breed pure and healthy. Pedigrees and firsthand knowledge passed on by longtime breeders is key to achieving breed conservation.
I guess I can understand why breeding info might not be important to an owner of a neutered pet, but I can't for the life of me understand why any responsible Basenji breeder would ever refuse to contribute to your Basenji pedigree database. Is what it is I guess. Happy to see that you have Sparkle's litter in there now! YAY! :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:
