    It's Mirtillo :D But at the training they call him Guido.. and my grandmom just found out this weekend that his name isn't Melo, but Pillo.. So we're pretty used to 'spelling' faults ;) :p


  • @thunderbird8588:

    Tillo's future sis, is there something your not telling us Janneke? ;)
    He has the most wonderful frowny face, just scrumptious.

    Tillo is getting a sis!! happy dance.. haha, now you know ;)


  • @Janneke:

    Yaaaay that's great Janneke, do you want to tell more or not yet ?;)
    We will be meeting Lauren and Lycia soon on the Scotland Basenji meet up.

    The rest is a 'secret' ;) As soon as she's born, I'll post all the details :)

    Sweet, sweet Lycia.. we still miss her! Please bring your camera!


  • Can't wait to hear ;)
    Yes we will take the camera on the meet up


  • @thunderbird8588:

    Can't wait

    Me neither ;) But it will take another 7 months or so before she's born (if there's a 'she' born..)


  • I would just give Tillo the biggest hugs and kisses if I ever saw him in person. I love his masculine looking head. He is 'all boy'. Janneke, never be embarrassed about bragging about him - he's a wonderful looking boy. I'd be super proud too!

    And how exciting that you are looking to add to your family. I just keep hearing Sharron's words quietly whispering "you know you can never just have one'. I know what it is - it's a basenji curse that we have all had placed on us. :)


  • He is so gorgeous!

    First off Tillo and Janneke et al..a new baby is coming..oh so exciting..I can't wait to hear of her arrival..

    Second..if every basenji looked like Tillo…oh my..a lot of girl basenjis hearts would be broken..:), very broken.

    He is stunning..

    You are too funny Janneke…. I was the same way.. .until I brough my girls home.. I didn't say anything...

    Mirtillo will have a ball with a baby puppy.... well maybe except for the teeth!!!


  • Tillo is indeed a truly handsome boy. You don't have to "look underneath" to know he is a male, his face is very masculine. Thank you for sharing those great photos of his face.


  • He is way too cute :D

    Congrats again on Tillo's sis :D


  • He is a very handsome boy Janneke, great pictures as always.


  • Congrats!! He needed a permanent sister. =)


  • Thanks for the nice comments and congrats :)

    I'm scared it will bring bad luck if I tell all the details.. ;)

    Tillo loves girls.. haha.. don't know how he will react to puppy teeth though! :eek:


  • He is a handsome boy, he will love having a little sis despite the teeth!

    I believe he will falls in love with her ;):D.


  • If it wasn't for Mirtillo, Clar and I would have no Basenji….

    It was after going to the BCOC website, then finding the Basenji forum and seeing pictures of Tillo that captured our hearts when it came down to choosing this breed. - Tillo's structure and those frickin' wrinkles I tell ya, melts us every time...:p

    I believe it was the video of Job and Tillo doing his nightly routine that solidified our decision and eliminated a lot of the misconceptions of an untamable type of dog and pushed us to do further research.

    I'm no expert, but I truly believe that Mirtillo, is the epitome of all things grand with Basenji's through temperment, behaviour and agility. And like the gorgeous expression on his face through his pics - a true ambassador for this breed.

    Plus, I'm a photog - geek and seriously enjoy each and every capture you both display on the forums and his website. :D

    We look forward to seeing Mirtillo and his future companion grow old together. Well done you two and thanks for inspiring Clar and I to do better for our own B.

    Emm, Clar & Kairoe :)


  • Wow, I'm speechless.. Thank you for your kind post.. I'm happy Tillo 'helped' you to get your Basenji :) He's a great dog, not perfect though.. Still quite a challenge sometimes :rolleyes: ;)

    I promise we'll keep posting pics on here and on Tillo's site :)

    Love your pictures, he is so cute. I love the one with the stuffed animals as well, Sahara plays fetch with hers and even throws them up in the air to catch by herself. I think she would do good with a playmate, but the hubby says no for now, I think I will change his mind in time. :D :D
