I hope someone goes and gets her soon.
Africa re bringing b's back
-
Thanks for sharing. I was wondering how they were doing.
-
Love your photo of the snow covered b! I will keep you all updated.
I am excited…I am so hopeful this will bring new blood into the b's breeding pool. -

I definitely admire their dedication to the breed to make this very difficult trip out there and back.

Thanks for the update, it sounds so very exciting!

I love the Basandusu dog …..
-
I liked all of them, but then, I don't have a trained eye like you Pat.
Will be nice if they can bring back a few like the Basandusu b shown in photo. -

Will be nice if they can bring back a few like the Basandusu b shown in photo.Well the rest were all puppies mostly and really hard to tell what they will look like all grown up.. that was a great picture of an adult.. and by the looks, I would guess a male… his offspring would be a nice addition to the gene pool, depending on how they mature and health test. But that one certainly was mature and "wise"....
-
Bryan was very firm when he left, he said he was NOT interested in bringing back anything unless he thought they would be accepted into BCOA.
So, fingers crossed, these dogs all do well with health testing… -
Heard back from my friends..they are bringing 5 b's r/w back!
Oh, this is so exciting.
James posted this…....Made it back to kinshasa. Will be leaving tomorrow via Brazzaville. We plan to
go over as a group. Lisa Bryan and Laurie will return to Kinshasa and fly out 3
AM friday. We have got 5 Basenjis from Bokili, 2 boys and 3 girls all red/white.
2 are very red and have very nice wrinkles and structure. They are named
Lomako Mosika - far away
Lomako Mobengi - hunter
Lomako Lokalanga - peanut
Lomako Lokoso - greedy one
Lomako Lolo ya Jamba - heavenly forest -
Thanks, Sharron! Did they say anywhere if they are puppies or adults?

Bryan wrote..We made it out of the jungle back to Kinshasa with 5 basenji babies. we are all very tired and ready to come home in a few days. three pups are good quality, about 7 weeks old. two pups are Excellent quality, about 12 weeks old, with red coats, fine skin, and good wrinkle, comparable to our show dogs. will post photos when we can.

Thanks! Puppies were my guess but you never know.

I have to tell you Bryan is a "hard" grader…if he says the 2 pups are Excellent, then they are. I remember his saying he wouldn't bring back anything if he didn't think they were b's and they would have to be quality enough to be included in the BCOA list. So, what an exciting time this is..
We will be able to watch the pups grow, see how the health issues are with them, and maybe see their ofspring in the show ring one day. Wonderful!!! -
Well, I'm hoping he brings them to National so everyone can see them in the African exhibition. They'll be more than old enough by then.
-
I am eager to see the new babies and read more about it. I'm curious though, why is this posted under Rescue Talk?
-
Such great news..I sure hope they make it home safe and sound..
-
I have been reading about the expedition on another site. I'm very interested in the fact that he's gone to an undeveloped are of the Congo and very close to where some of our original dogs came from.
Not sure why this is under rescue talk either as they canm hardly be said to be rescued!!! Quite the opposite! -
Patty, I guess as a rescue person and not a breeder I didn't feel comfortable posting under anything other than rescue, but I could have put it under CHAT I guess.
Anyway, this is very exciting and I will share photos when I can. -
To whom will these new pups belong?
