This group and BRAT are great…everyone wants to do what they can to help these old
dogs who fall on hard times.
These type of b's just break my heart. Glad to hear this old dear will fall into soft hands.
Africa re bringing b's back
-
Re being close to standard. I can't tell. They are just puppies now, and even some show breeders who saw 2 of them this weekend was honest enough to take a wait and see position.
Really, these 5 are just puppies. It will be interesting to see how they grow.
Even if they are accepted into BCOA, who knows who will want to use them for breeding.
I don't know if any of the other dogs who were approved were used..does anyone?
Anyway, its an exciting time. -
My husband is crabby tonight..I am sure NONE of you ever have that, and I ask him to help me and he "declined" *I won't use the words he used…but you get the idea.
If he won't help tomorrow evening, I will ask Pat or Lisa to help. They have been kind enough in the past.
At least you will be able to see one of the red b's *for lack of a better term" and Wheats coloration.
Off to bed guys.
Have a great evening. -

Anyway, its an exciting time.Yes, some of them have been bred and some before they were accepted into the stud book. There is some info here, it tells you if they had any litters around the time the applications were still out.

I'm definitely not aware of every litter that was bred this past year like some people here, but I know Kumba was bred this past fall at least twice. Kita was bred previously back in 2008, and will be in the fall of 2010 (Nicole on the forum is planning to get a puppy out of that litter). Other than that, I haven't looked much into it.

Sharron - how very exciting, do please let's us have lots of information on the puppy plus pictures. I did ask James about the colouring and the longer hair on some. He did think that they would have a lighter coat as adults.
I do hope that they will be accepted so that you can breed. It would be very exciting to see that generation.
Congratulations

I am posting this on behalf of Sharron. Her pup is in the middle.

Sharron, congratulations.
Wheat looks a lovely Pup, seems from the pic that they quickly get used to home comforts
-
she is adorable…
-
Very cute Sharron…. it will be interesting to see her coat color after a few months of good food and when she blows that puppy coat.
-
Wheat looks adorable and they all look like they are easily leaving behind their lives in Africa and adapting to 'creature comforts'.
-
Only the red girl on the lower left, and Wheat are African. The other 2 are Lisa's show dogs.
I have to tell you, I am selfish, I hope Wheat is just a village basenji, and she can stay with me fixed.
Re BCOA and breeding her.
If BCOA approves her, then it won't be my decision to breed. I will just have physical control of Wheat.
The folks who brought her back, all BCOA members, long time breeders with knowledge of structure, temperment and health, will decide if and when and to whom she will be bred, if ever.
I don't have the knowlege to be a breeder. Also, I know that if she does have a litter and something happens I will be compelled to take back the pup.
Its just more knowlege than I have and more responsibility than I want.
I just fell in love with this cute girl…
We will see what the future brings for her.
THANK you So much Lisa for posting her for me.
Hugs to you all.
