Original Black & Whites

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • Since I have a black & white puppy, I was curious how many native black & whites are back in the pedigrees. I've found four so far. Are there more? I know there aren't that many foundation dogs so this number seems reasonable (to me at least!). Here are the ones I found:

    Miliku
    Wheeler's Poor No Friend
    Smokey
    Bwayku

    Thanks!

  • The dogs that are pretty much the foundation black and whites of the breed are Kiki of Cryon who gets her black and white from Wheeler's Poor No Friend and Miliku. I believe the majority of the black and whites today get their black from Kiki.

  • Thanks! I see what you mean, I was mixing up my terminology…native versus foundation dog...and I meant foundation. Zoni gets her black from Miliku on the Jerlin side.

    Right now because Taste of The Wild High Prairie (Bison) is on the recall list, Kipawa is eating Acana kibble, NRG dehydrated food, blueberries, melons, broccoli ad other tasty, healthy things. The oil we use is Udo's 3-6-9, and I am very happy with his coat. Bless you for helping out one of these wonderful creatures.

    No dog is perfect. If the male you are looking at has a lot of great qualities in looks, character and in health, and he compliments your female well, I wouldn't worry about the light nose or eyes. Yes, the pups could inherit them, so that's a choise you will have to make :) I wouldn't exclude a nice male from breeding only based on the colour of his eyes…

    My Abby does that, when she is ready to blow her coat she turns kind of brown on the sides but the hair on her back that she stands up when freaked out stays black all the time.
