Glad you are home and that your family is ok. Sounds like Hope is pleased to see her mum back 🙂
Pretty Miss Kayla!

Since i started showing my Basenji I have been surprised at attitude re colour of some people in the uk. Whilst i love the tri colouring, i would far rather have a healthy and typical b/w or brindle than a poor tri or red. My mother has only been to a few basenji shows, but she was very taken with a certain little b/w girl being shown at the moment - i can feel i might get talked into having one sometime in the future…
I wasnt saying that i wouldnt have a b/w if it was a choice between a good b/w and a poor tri or r/w
Or that i dont like the b/w.Just that, as we all have preferences, of the 4 accepted colours for basenjis in the UK the b/w are not my favourites. I still think they are beautiful dogs (as are all basenjis in my opinion!) and conformation, health and temperment should come before colour anyway
-
Sorry Maya i certainly wasnt meaning you - we all have our personal preferences of which we want to live with - i have too - i was referring more to breeders and judges who sort of crinkle their nose and look a bit distainful if you mention b/w or brindles.
Like you - i love Tris - especially if they are marked as well as your girl.

Ah, ok. Didnt want to come across as though i was saying anything but r/w and tri i dont like lol
I think the colour thing happens with most breeds as far as judging goes. I have an apricot pug - many judges wouldnt give him a second look (and have said so - they just say they dont like the colour/dont think it should be recognised) so we havent shown him much. The same with our chocolate labs, we pick our judges carefully!
I know a friend who has dobes that she shows very occassionally and she said its the same sometimes with the brown ones (not sure if theres a correct name for them!!l). Its sad that judges cant see past colour sometimes…
-
I personally prefer R/W but it doesn't mean I don't appreciate other colours, construction is more important than colour.
There's a certain little B/W bitch that lives very near to me and I have loved her from the first time I ever saw her! Probably the same one as Elscodoberman's mum!
-
She is truly a beautiful B. Very lucky family back in Sweden. I guess I should way in on my favorite color, of course Brindle is up there as #1 and if I get another one day…I want a red/white little princess..dark red..beautiful..
-
I have to say that in my humble opinion, photo's do not do the 'non reds' justice!
Having seen Tri's in the flesh, there is a real depth to the colour that is not usually born out in 2D and I would have to assume the same for Black and White's.

Hmmm, I can smell weakness! Must go off and devise a cunning plan!
-
LOL. I think by this time next year i will have enough to keep me occupied! i suppose one of each colour would be good - next time john asks what i want for my 40th birthday present i will have an answer already prepared….

And she is a good girl most of the time, for a Basenji; now she is getting over the Kevin stage. (Honestly, they do get over it. Eventually).

I think you might! Hope it works out well for you, it's an exciting time.

Miss Kayla is beautiful, well done!
-
Beautiful girl!

I love this bitch! She has a pretty head, graceful neck, level topline, nice tailset with shelf, and lovely angulation front and rear. Someone in Sweden is a very lucky person to be getting this girl. What is her registered name?
-
What a lovely girl!

"Kayla" is Khani's Midnight Star
Sire is Khani's Causing A ComMOtion
Dam is Am CH Khani's Written In The StarsKayla is sweet and cuddly and the biggest tail-wagger there is….
I never have to worry about her bolting out of a crate becuase she falls in the back wagging her tail and putting her ears back.
Sweet silly girl! -
She is gorgeous! Maybe she needs to live in Florida…......Sweden is awfully cold.
I used to think black basenjis were 'almost like basenjis' till I got one (a rescue). One day I looked at him and thought, Oh my goodness, he is gorgeous!!! His coat glowed almost blue-black and he was very elegant. A basenji in a tuxedo. At almost 14, he is the Cary Grant of our little basenji group, all the girl pups adore him.

I had a B/W female that all the males loved. She was a real trooper too! They're beautiful!

Pretty little gal - nice wins!

I am thinking that Sophie wouldn't be too happy if Miss Kay-Kay detoured and stayed somewhere else!
They have been waiting over a year for a girl… and still have two more months!
