New baby sister (actually daughter!)

  • Hi All,

    It has been a looooong time since I posted. Sherri and I were owners of Shaun and Mbali in Seattle. Shaun was a champion around 2010 or so in Washington state.

    Shaun just turned 16 and is doing great. Sadly we lost Mbali to cancer last fall, shortly before her 15th birthday.

    We spent a few months recovering from the loss before mentioning it to Shaun’s breeder. She offered us a 4-year-old female that she was not going to breed. The main reason is that little Karma is Shaun’s daughter! All of this was a total surprise and happened very quickly. Karma is slowly settling in to her new life as a pampered house pet.

    We have had a couple of scares with the clasp on Karma’s leash failing so we are researching the best option for a Basenji proof leash/collar/clasp system. Will start a separate thread on that.

    Here is a very recent photo of Karma and Shaun at Doe Bay on Orcas Island (Washington state)…

    @diff_eqs: Ok… here's what is going to make you guys happy... Upon talking to some knowledgeable people (thanks to all), and doing some more research on the breeder, we have decided to not get that puppy. Although I am disappointed, I am glad that I did not make what could potentially turn out to be a really big mistake. I am going to call a couple of people though, not giving up yet. (Kathy, if you end up having a girl available, keep me posted, please!) If we end up not getting anything this year, we are going to try breeding Lana again and keeping one of the babies for sure. My thoughts are, "I think you made a wise decision"…...
