Thank you for the welcome. Also, for the advice. He seems to be okay around the horses for the moment. One of the mares gave him a bit of a stink eye and he moved out of the area quite quickly all on his own. He loved the trimmings of the hooves left by the farrier 🙂
I did post a few photos that our daughter took on the Show Off section.
Greetings and Thanks!

That would be Doris Daniels? right, I didn't think she was actively breeding any longer? And the spelling is "Fanconi"… that is great that your pup is DNA tested. Just curious, who is your pups sire and dam? Jack is very handsome...
-
Beautiful! I love that one little speck of white on his nose. It seems like most b/w's I've seen have had more white on the face. The lack of white makes the eyes seem more intense somehow.
Anyway, he's lovely! Thanks for sharing.

Congratulations on you first Basenji!
Is Jack from the Jerlin-SS General Powell x Djakomba's Trinket litter?

I would guess that he would be Djakomba's Jack Of Spades?

Cute pup you have there… Welcome to the pack.
-
Yes - he is Djakomba's Jack of Spades! I was amazed to log on and see that you figured that out already!! But what was I thinking - you guys know your Bs! It seems that Doris has a few Bs that she co-owns with various families. I don't think she's as active a breeder as she was in the past. Jack's litter was mostly intended for pet families, but I think one of his litter sisters is being shown and Doris considered showing Jack. Before we got to the point for her to see him grown a bit and decide on his qualities, we as a family decided that was just not right for us. Too much time involved for us right now with active young kids. We were lucky that Doris decided to use our call name Jack in his name. She was working on a theme for the litter and worked with Jack. So he's our pretty Jack of Spades. He does have just the littlest white on his nose and under his chin, and it does make his face striking. We each had different names for him to begin with - Captain Jack, BlackJack, Jack Black, Jack Rabbit Slim so it became just Jack
Although Jack-Attack seems fitting now! -
Are you going back to her for your second? And the dog that she co-owns that they purchased from Sal Wurnos, was Best of Opposite in Sweeps at the Nationals this past Week…
-
He is absolutely looooovely!! I love the BWs.
Welcome to the forum – even if it's a year later. -
What a lovely Basenji.
Welcome.
-
Thanks again for all the welcomes!! Tanza - yes, #2 would be coming from Djakomba also. She mentioned having a few shows, but I didn't know the results. She sent us photos of her new boy, Sam, that's probably the one you are talking about that won - boy he was a stunning tri. She might have 2 of the females she co-owns bred, one might have been this weekend…we are waiting to hear.
-
The only problem with the young male is that he is too young to be tested for hips, unless they do a prelim, as he is under a year… but that is just my opinion
-
Thanks for that info - not something I was aware of but will keep in mind and be sure to ask. Right now we are pretty sure we'd like a second, but have some concerns as my dh has been transferred with his job to a location much further from home. When Jack was a little pup, my dh could get home at lunch to feed him and let him out of his crate for a bit, the 3 days I am at the office (work at home 1-2 days). With a little luck, he'll be back at his prior work location before Jan/Feb rolls around and we'll be ok. Fingers crossed but we'll deal with that hurdle when the time gets closer.

Nice b…welcome.

I just noticed this thread. Sorry to be so behind the times. My little girl Chloe is Jack's littermate and you are right, I have been showing her, today was our fourth show and our first outdoors one. What a mess. Lots of mud!! Aren't they the greatest little pups?
