Africa re bringing b's back
-
I didn't realize I should have that the dogs would be full of "thing's" we don't often see in the states.
But once these b's are done with that, I know they will be fully tested re BCOA standards and breeders standards, and will be a great asset to the breed. -
The secon picture is very much like my bitch, Spring. Actually a few years ago we took her and Gbala to see Michaela Dennis who had Basenjis in the Congo many in the 50s/50s (She and her husband used to have a series on thier lives on UK Television. I don't suppose there are many on the Forum who would remember). She was in her 90s and happened to be in a hospital in England. She said that Spring and Gbala were exactly like the basenjis that she had then!
She did write a book 'Leopard in my Lap' which talked about, and had photographs of Basenjis. I know of a couple of breeders who started in Basenjis on reading that book Sorry nothing to do with this post really.

I went over to see Lisa Saban's puppies today. Oh, heavens! they are so darn cute.
I think the will make great additions to the b's blood lines.
I will share photos when I can get them from others.
I tell you, as difficult as this trip was at some time, if you all have the $$ to go, you can find some wonderful dogs there. -
If any of you can come to Argus Ranch, in Auburn Wa state, in Aug the weekend of 6-8 you will be able to see these Africans. That is the big Evergreen Basenji specality.
I attend all 3 days and its b's every day.
Wonderful! -
I had the opportunity to visit the African puppies residing at Jumoke on my way to the Seattle show this past weekend. It was amazing to see them, it is hard to wrap your head around the fact that they are fresh out of the jungle. They are full of love and I feel so lucky to have been able to see them as puppies! I can't wait to watch them grow up and hopefully become a new addition to our stock.
-
Oh, I wish I could have met you..I was there both days..Maybe we can meet at the August basenji show?
-
Sharron, This is Libby! With r/w basenji boy Dude. I was only at the show on Sunday, I came up with Kathy.
I didn't see you
-
Oh, Libby! I watched you in the ring, and was going to come over to say Hi. Started talking to someone else, and turn around and couldn't find you.
But I was cheering for you!
Are you doing the Argus ranch this year? I will be there both days, so if you can come up we will find time to visit. -
I had a great time last summer and hope to attend again this summer!

So cool..I love'em. Thanks for sharing..

The breeders will decide who if any get in to the BCOA. But as someone who is glad they "look" like b's to me, I am happy to have them here.
I saw the "red" one Lisa has..the color is just wonderful…as far as structure, and show things, I leave that to the pros. -

Then the ones that pass the "inspection" will be voted on by the entire BCOA membership, not just breeders.
-
Pat, thanks for this info. I just wonder how many of the BCOA members are non breeders.
But as these b's grow, I would be interested in your and Lisa's input re their qualities. -

Do you know, have any of the last batch of dogs that were accepted into the breeding program been used?

We will be hosting a Meet the Africans event on April 3, starting at 3:00 and will run 1 hour or so. This gathering is open to all Basenji Fanciers in the Northwest that are interested in these dogs. Feel free to circulate this notice.
All five dogs that we imported will be present, along with photos and stories of our trip to Africa.
This event will be by RSVP only. We will set up 1-hour sessions of ten or so people. This is to provide plenty of individual time and to avoid crowding as to not overwhelm the dogs and us. We will assign you specific sessions upon your RSVP.
So far, we have 12 people in attendance, which is fine for one group. Maybe more will sign up this weekend.
We have changed the location to a retail space in Auburn that is part of the Auburn Business Center. It is one of the business parks owned by the business I work at. It has the advantage of being located in South King County, and has a fair amount of convenient parking. However, it is a vacant retail space, so this will be a, “bring your own chair” event.
This also provides more flexibility as far as the time we start and finish. Currently we are still planning on 3:00 pm on April 3rd.
Address is:
4058 Auburn Way North, Suite 1
Auburn Washington 98002The business park is just off Hwy 167 and the South 277th St. exit.

Would love to attend - but I have commitments. Perhaps those on here who are going can get some pictures and share information with us. I would love to see how close they are to the standard.
