New years Eve Pup

  • @thunderbird8588:

    At this point i dont want to give out info which we feel belongs to the breeder, but of course once the Pup is ours i will be talking non stop about the Pup :D

    Good luck on your potential pup… hopefully DNA for Fanconi was done before breeding as there are a few not tested on Sally's site


  • Woohoo!!! Congrats! Maybe I missed it.. But are you getting a male or a female? Can't wait to see the pics!! :D

    The breeder in question is responsible and has tested her dogs for Fanconi.

    I look forward to seeing your pics Shelley.

    That is great to hear, thanks….


  • No wonder you are so excited Shelley. Great news, can't wait to see those photos.

  • Thank you everyone for your good wishes, we will be able to go see the pups at about 3 weeks but wont be able to pick untill the breeder has picked hers.
    We have of course checked that the dogs used in the breeding have been DNA tested for Fanconi. As Gerry has said we have picked a responsible breeder.


  • Most responsible breeders are happy to share their litter details so I think it just came across as odd that you would not be able to share the litter details until you brought your puppy home.


  • Only just found this thread, huge congrats Shelley, that is fantastic news!!

    I can also say that she has chosen a very respected, responsible breeder. I am benched next to this breeder at almost all the shows and she is certainly very knowledgeable about the breed and is very much in favour of health testing :)

    I also dont think it is odd that Shelley does not want to share the litter details. I was the same with Maya, until she was officially mine i did not want to talk too much about it (didnt want to tempt fate!!), and also if the breeder wants to discuss her breeding im sure she could come on here herself to do it, all the pedigrees and health testing are on the internet for people to see anyway though :)


  • Congrats Shelley - bet you can't wait! Can't wait to see pics of the new arrival when you have him/her home!


  • Congrats!

    Not sure where you're from but we always watch Anderson Cooper on New Years Eve. Maybe you can call him Cooper! ;-)


  • We are getting a bitch, i like Malaika (swahili for Angel), Hubbys not to sure about shouting that out though, the other names are Freya or Milly. We have had other suggestions regarding the birthdate, Eve and Hope.

    I really like Malaika and Freya. You can always shorten Malaika to Laika ;)


  • I realy like Malaika but dont know if i'l be able to convince Howard. I also like the name Laika but it reminds me of the terribly sad story of Laika the space dog :(


  • @Janneke:

    I like Malaika too (I just love african names :D ), Mali for short :)

    @kianakenney Congratulations on your new pup! Nala is a cutie! It’d be interested to know her genetic make-up......I don’t have any guesses. Enjoy her - she is precious.

    And I think that clicker training is the BEST way to train a Basenji. -Joanne

    Jaycee did really well with all noise she was ready for bed it was past her bedtime. I think she thought the noise was just Eli paying another game. Rita Jean

    @Lenora: As some of you may know, Abbey turned the Big 3 on Christmas Day. She has made a few resolutions for 2007 which I think reflect her new maturity. (1.) I will not kiss any more kitties even if they are my cousin, because my nose is still sore from last time. (2.) If given a choice between a bath and going out in the rain, I will choose the rain if I have to tinkle really bad, and going out in the rain may actually delay having to get a bath. (3.) I will not get up from a nap when my mom is taking a shower and knock the ironing board over on my head. (4.) This year I resolve to eat healthier. No more bath sponges, bath scrubbies, socks, catalogs, leaves off the airplane plant, or my Santa's nose. (5.) When my mom has Important Visitors I will not excuse myself from the room and return carrying a bra. This causes my mom to make very loud noises which hurt my ears and makes me ashamed of my little joke for nearly a whole minute. Happy New Year from Abbey and Lenora! I should probably get my own username on this forum, so I'm not continuing to write about my own undergarments & such under my boyfriend's name… My boyfriend's basenji mix loves dirty clothes. Andrew used to have two female roommates, and Bandit would pull their dirty undergarments out, chew the crotches out and leave crotchless panties lieing around in embarassing places. I felt so sorry for them! Another time, he ate the hems off of Andrew's pantlegs. We came home one evening to find something sticking out of Bandit's butt. Upon further investigation, Andrew ended up pulling out two 6" pieces of pant hems from Bandit's rearend. Bandit also loved to dig through Andrew's roommates' bathroom garbage & pull out the really nasty items and eat those. Many a small string has been found dangling from his mouth while trash is strewn about the bathroom floor... Yuck! Carrie
