  • Hello, my name is Becky Blansett. My kennel name is Epic. I have been by Basenjis for 20 years now.
    My first Basenji was a small red & white bitch named Sheba ( Bella Sheba Wa Umbawa FCH, CD, SC, CGC). Currently I have 4 adult Basenjis in my home, all decendents of Sheba.
    Over the years the Ninjas and I have have competed in Conformation, Lure Coursing, Obedience, Rally, and Agility. Sometimes I am the teacher, sometimes my dog is the teacher. Moses ( DC Epic's In Da Nile SC,RA,NA,NAJ)and I are currently having fun training and competing in Agility.
    On Feb. 21, 2008 my tri bitch, Ola (CH Epic Tri My Best SC), delivered by c-section 4 puppies by Charlie Denslow's dog Merlin ( CAN CH DC Select_Gana Incantation LCM ). There are two red girls, one tri girl, & one tri boy. Merlin is 14 years old. Ola and puppies are doing great.
    Besides doing the dog thing I also enjoy riding and training horses. I have a 9 year old Anglo Arab gelding that I train for Dressage.
    Wish me luck with the puppies!

    Welcome Becky….. I know lots of your "kids" by way of Tracy.... how is she these days?
    And amazing how many of us in the breed came from or are still into horses.... I came from Hunters/Jumpers and then Apps and Quarters...

  • Hey Becky,

    Welcome….<waving></waving>

  • Puppy pics will be coming.
    Did the Hunter thing years (years) ago. Had an amazing Appy & showed Quarter horses. Did the race track, breeding farm (love foaling mares), & the Class A Arab Circuit. Love the intelegence & beauty of Arabs. Moses likes to run around in the arena while I ride. He is leary of the horses since one pushed him aside with a big hoof. I don't trust him on trail rides yet.

  • Welcome. Looking forward to hearing more from you and seeing pictures of your dogs, puppies & horses!

  • Welcome to the forum! Can't wait to see pictures of your furkids & the puppies :)

    Congrats on your puppy…. has he (or his sire/dam) been health tested for Fanconi and PRA with the DNA test? Very important this if this has not been done for his Sire/Dam that you have your boy tested. And even if they have been tested, never hurts to follow up with having him done also.

    Please research the health problems in Basenjis especially Fanconi Syndrome! There is a DNA cheek swab test for it and I believe it only costs $75. If your dog has not been tested and is over two years old, she needs to be strip tested for glucose in the urine monthly until you have the DNA test done and obtain the results. Untreated Fanconi Syndrome will kill a dog! Here is a webpage that explains health problems in Basenjis: https://www.basenji.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=155&Itemid=292 Jennifer

    @Nicola: Hi Jenny! :D Oh what a shame. :( I was undecided on posting about SKC on the other site, I wish I had done now! Not to worry, we'll meet someday, I'm sure! And of course, I'd love to meet your gang too. I remember hearing someone saying "….Basenji cross" as I was walking by! Who'd have thought it was you! ;) Yes that was probably me lol. Roxy looked very sweet and I'm sure we will meet eventually:D
