Sherwood's Breeding Plans

Breeder Talk

  • Robyn,

    So sorry to hear about your loss. We are sending prayers and postive thoughts to Bindi and her surviving pup. Please keep us updated.


  • The puppy will be going to live with my best friend Steph and her husband Chris. They have Luna (Ch. Sherwood's Red Moon Rising), littermate to my Baron (and the deceased Logan) and full sibling to my Pippin and Lisa's Nicky. They were here to watch her birth and will be coming over frequently to watch her grow. They have decided to name her Ayla.

    Bindi has been a fabulous mother, very attentive and always touching the baby. They snuggle constantly and it is so precious. Bindi does not look like a typical nursing mother. She barely has noticable teats but the pup is a little butterball so she is obviously producing enough milk. Bindi looks so good that for a fleeting moment, I was tempted to enter her in the dog show at the end of this month. :p

    The picture below was taken a few minutes ago.


  • I was getting a little worried because we hadn't heard any news. Bindi and Ayla look great. Ayla is little beautiful little butterball which is fantastic. :)

  • Sorry to read about all the trials with this litter. I suppose all you can do is be thankful about the one little pup you have - that pic certainly is adorable!


  • @YodelDogs:

    Wonderful sweet picture. This sight makes all the other problems go away. My condolences for what you went through. Looks like Mom and baby are quite content. :)


  • How very precious!


  • Very cute Robyn….


  • Thank you for the update, Robyn. I have been thinking of you and Bindi all day. I could not get you out of my mind!!

    Welcome new Ayla. I hope your new 2-legged parents will keep us updated here on your progress. You seem destined for great things.


  • I've been thinking too about Bindi and Ayla. Sounds like Ayla is going to a wonderful home. Such a pretty name too.


  • She looks good Robyn. And Sugar and Bindi are so much alike still! The sideways look, just the features. I'm assuming she's a good mama too.


  • Congrats on a healthy mom & pup! I'm very glad they are thriving!

    I've been thinking too about Bindi and Ayla. Sounds like Ayla is going to a wonderful home. Such a pretty name too.

    I give two thumbs up to Steph as a home. Her girl Luna, in addition to being Nicky's big sister, is Rally's dam. Steph raised Rally's litter until they were 7 weeks old and I can't say enough good things about how wonderful Rally turned out. Speaking of which, I really ought to send Steph an update on her wonderful grandpup and her great grandpups Rio and Sophie.

    Thanks for the reminder.


  • Robyn,

    We are glad to hear that Bindi and the Ayla are doing well. A very sweet picture.


  • Ayla's eyes opened yesterday at 14 days old. I took some pics of her laying on a blanket but I couldn't get her eyes in the pics so I decided to hold her up with one hand and snap pics with the other. My oh my she was just about too big to fit into my hand LOL!

    This morning, Bindi was in the living room and Ayla was in the puppy pen in the kitchen. I walked past the puppy pen and saw my cat Moxie in the puppy pen with Ayla.

    Moxie grew tired of grooming the puppy and rolled around

    Bindi decided it is time to feed Ayla so she entered the pen and plopped herself between Moxie and Ayla

    Always hungry Ayla locates the milk bar


  • It takes a village to raise a puppy!

    LOL! That is too sweet. Poor cat….in a few weeks, Ayla will be like your other basenjis...playfully chasing the cat and trying to put its head in her mouth. Maybe it thinks that it can train this pup to show it some respect! Ayla is beautiful and Bindi looks like a really good mom. (Moxie looks like a good babysitter.)

  • beautiful pup


  • love the kitty and puppy photo.
    Thanks for sharing.


  • Love the pics of the three of them together!
    Too cute!


  • You are so lucky Robyn. The cat and the dog-together. Mine would just eat the cat!

    She's really beautiful


  • At first it looks like the cat is eating the puppy, good thing you added the comment :D
    I would like to get a cat but my pack says only if it is to be chase and end up as diner, so I will wait.

    They will be very pretty babies. Jaycee is on the down side of her heat I was not sure but I thought it was early but at least almost done. Rita Jean

    Seems like the DNA sample would be easier to get too. :rolleyes: I guess the advantage of the sperm count is that you at least know if the sire is fertile or not. Good luck, can't wait to see pictures of the pups to be.

    4 sounds like a very manageable number.. I will keep my fingers crossed that they will come out in colors wished/hoped for. Either way they will be absolutely adorable, I am sure of that.

    Hope you have a good trip and he is all you are looking for AND passes all health-testing with flying colors! The spring puppies we are having in the next month [both litters no less!] were the ones we'd planned for Fall 2009. So I moved up my 2010 breedings to Fall 2009… now the girls all need to cooperate with my plans!
