21/12 Our little ones are growing well and they are soooo adorable :-) They are all about 650 grams at the age of 10 days. Maisa is a natural mother, very proud of her. The names of the pups are Hi-Lite Hula Hoops (girl), and the boys are Hi-Lite Hot Rod, Hi-Lite Hillbilly and Hi-Lite Honky Tonk. Photos will be added asap. Team Hi-Lite wishes all our doggy friends a peaceful Christmas time and a happy new year 2011!
14/12 The puppies and Maisa are doing great. The little ones are gaining weight and everything is going smoothly. Added a photo album for Hi-Lite H-litter with a few pics so far.
12/12 On Sunday it was the Finnish Winner show 2010. Basenjis were judged by mrs. Eleanor Bothwell (GBR). Both Timon and Tuuli got excellents with the most lovely critiques and mr. Nikke got vg. CAO entry was nice 7 for the judge mr. Zeev Trainin (ISR). "Little" Faruk surprised us showing himself very nicely and the judge couldn't help noticing it - the result was nothing but Best of Breed!!! As extra, Faruk got titles Finnish Junior Winner 2010 and Finnish Winner 2010 with the first cc :-))) How great is that? My warmest thank yous go to our friend Mari, who was kind enough to sacrifice her weekend to help me out and making the whole trip possible! Thank you thank you thank you :-)
11/12 As there were still no news of the puppies on Fri eve, had to start the trip to the huge Winner shows held in Helsinki without Janne, who stayed home with Maisa to be ready to take care of the puppies once they should arrive. The show on Saturday did not give much to us; Timon got vg, Tuuli got excellent and the best did "little" Nikke in junior class. He was 4th out of 10 with very good!! The judge (mrs. Tuula Savolainen) didn't hand out that many excellents, only 2 in junior males class, so I was very pleased :) It was also the time for cao Faruk to start his official show career; only at the age of 9 months. We did know that he was going to look like a puppy compared to the more mature and adult boys, but he still received excellent in grading and was finally BD-3! So a very nice start it was. The judge was mr. Horst Kliebenstein from Germany. But the news got only better as the day went further... Janne announced the birth of 3 wonderful boys and one princess, all red/white with white markings!!! Everything went just fine and Maisa is the most caring, calm and relaxed mom. These were lovely news and we are thrilled!
10/12 Maisa got an invitation to the big and glamorous gala night Champion of Champions 2010!! It's going to be held 12Feb 2011.
04/12 Wotta lovely day! We got a confirmation from Sweden that Timon's bride Ch. Yulara Itichika is definately pregnant - wonderful news! Faruk attended to a match show today. There were 31 dogs in his class and in the end he was the winner of the blue ribboned ones! The judge praised him and told us that he was amazingly impressive and handsome dog! We agree ;) The official ranking of Finnish Kennel Club of the Show dog 2010 has been published and our sweet Maisa, the mom to be, was ranked as number 51 - all breeds!! He is the only basenji listed and we couln't be more proud :-))
14/11 Our day wasn't successful this time at Jyväskylä Int show under judge mr. Göran Bodegård from Sweden. Both Tuuli and Duke were exc-4 and Timon got excellent. Nikke was shown second time in official classes and was vg4 in juniors class. Sweet Minni was visiting us with her owner, our dear friend Katja, and was entered for the first time. She did a nice job and got pleasing vg. Black beauty Alli was also entered, in a big junior bitch class, and got an excellent-2. She was also shortlisted in best bitch competition, and was finally "kinda" 5th best bitch. Very well done!!
10/11 We received a letter from the FCI - sweet Maisa (momma soon to be) is now a confirmed beauty champion aka International champion!! And she still is not even 3 years... Hope we will still have fun in the shows in the future .))
03/11 Maisa's pregnancy has been confirmed by the vet today :-)
31/10 Entry was numerous 43 at Lahti Int show today under a lovely judge mrs. Anca Giura from Romania. When we got back, the car was filled with success and happiness :-)) Our gorgeous Danish import mr. Duke (Kimwitu's Duke E) won the intermediate class with excellent and finally he was 2nd best dog with cc!! Tuuli's handsome son Bulldobas Cream And Sugar aka Rene was 3rd best male. The (grand)mom Tuuli herself is looking beautifulllllll and won ch class bitches ending up being 2nd best bitch, I am so proud of her. Was also proud to handle the king of the day, another son of Tuuli, Bulldobas Catch The Wind aka Karma. He won BOB with cacib and the judge just praised our dogs :-)))) Congrats Helena and Tipi-the breeder! Thank you also Mari for keeping me company ;-)
29-30/10 Timon had a beautiful girlfriend visiting him from Sweden named ch. Yulara Itichika. The couple seemed to be very fond of each other and we are very proud of this lovely combination. New Years Eve puppies expected at Yulara. Thank you for you lovely stay Mia and Monica!!! Keeping our fingers crossed ;-)
23/10 Results from the Seinäjoki Int show judged by mr. Primoz Peer from Slovenia are very pleasing. Timon was exc3 in ch class and Tuuli was exc1 in ch class and in the end a lovely result as 2nd best bitch with cacib, my darling she is! Nikke (Hi-Lite Dashing Bulldobas) entered the show ring for the first time in adults classes, at the age of 9 months and 2 weeks only. First he won junior class with excellent grading and then he was placed as 2nd best male with a very first cc!! We are sooo happy for the start of his show career :-)) Congrats to his co-owner Taru!!
16/10 Tuuli and I are proud "moms": Congratulations to Tiina Mäki for Juno's EE ch title! He won BOS under judge mr. Tino Pehar. BOB and BOB-junior at the same show was the grand-daughter of our Tuuli, so it really runs in the family. Well done also Tiina Tootma :-))
09/10 We are finally expecting!! And by "we" I of course mean our lovely couple Timon and Maisa. Timon mated her today so the puppies are due to born on 11 December. We are sooo happy!!
19/09 Our sweet cao boy Faruk (7 months yesterday) entered a Specialty show for guardian dogs such as owcharkas etc. He was behaving and moving beautifully for judge mrs. Marja Talvitie and was BOB-puppy. We decided to wait for the finals and it was well worth it - Faruk went all the way to BIS-puppy!! Even though the entry was not big, we value this win a lot and are very proud of our darling and goofy Faruk :))))
18/09 Great day for us at the Finnish sighthound club Specialty show in Lahti, judge was mr. Fernando Madeira Rodriguez from Portugal. First out in the ring was "little" Nikke, for the 3rd and last time in the puppy class. He won his class and ended up as BOS-puppy to a beautiful girl Bulldobas Cute As A Button! No boys for us this time but in the girls it was the first time for our beautiful black beauty Alli (Kingwanas Greatest Story Of All) to enter the junior class at the age of 9 months and 7 days only. She is truly beautiful and won her class with excellent. Maisa was behaving nicely in the cold and rainy weather and won the ch class with excellent as well. AND in the end she was best bitch-1 followed by young Alli (a cc for her of course) - how great it that!? Maisa was finally BOS and is out of the rings now for a while, hopefully taking care of her maternal duties soon :-) This year for her has been terrific and we are somewhat speachless of her success!! The entry in the show was nice 24. Thank you everyone for your company and congrats to Noora and Tiina as well for Alli's success. Thanks to her breeder Liv for trusting us to have her :-)
03/09 Happy news healthwise; Nikke's (Hi-Lite Dashing Bulldobas) fanconi test result came back as propably clear/normal!! Great :-)

Congrats Tiinas :-) Also Timon's son Jaro (Bulldobas Blockbuster) was awarded a very nice BOB win with cacib in Mechelen, the jugde was mr. Siegfried Peper. Well done boys Marcel and Jaro!!
15/08 We are so very proud of our kiddos Nikke and Minni! They attended to a show in Pihtipudas where the judge was always so pleasing mr. Paavo Mattila (Fin). Nikke went BOB-puppy and Minni was BOS-puppy :-)) They both got excellent critiques (which can be found at their own show results page) and we are soooo pleased; thank you Taru and family Seppä for taking SUCH good care of our precious ones! A lot of other really nice results from the same show though... Tuuli's gorgeous sons Rene and Bono were there too. Rene beautifully BOB and Group-1, Bono bm-2 with a cc and a new Fi ch!! He is the number 4 offspring out of 5 of Tuuli to gain his CH-title. This makes us very proud of our queen Tuuli :-) Congrats also to Tiina, who is the breeder of these great puppies!
07-07/07 The hottest (show) weekend ever!!! One positive thing is that the show was here in our hometown, Kuopio, so the travel wasn't that much. On Saturday the results were nice under mr. Tom H. Johnston from GBR. Duke was 3rd in intermediate class with excellent and Timon went 4ht best male! He showed his paws to a nice bunch of younger boys when gaiting in the ring... ;-) Maisa was 3rd best bitch! Tuuli's son Rene was BOS with cacib - wow! Other son Karma, who won BOB and cacib on Friday, got excellent too!The day was crowned with a lovely BBQ at our house later in the evening with lots of our friends, thank you everyone! On Sunday the weather was boiling hot and really got on everyone... Both Duke and Timon had the same placements as on Saturday, the judge this time was from Portugal, mr. Manuel Loureiro Borges. Maisa on the other hand was showing herself great and won the bitches with her last needed cacib - she is a brand new International Champion at the age of only 2,5 years :-) She is our sweetheart!!
01/08 What a lovely, lovely day at Mikkeli puppy show! Our little CAO boy Faruk started it our being BOB-puppy under judge mrs. Marjo Järventölä. He received a very nice critique! 4 basenjipups entered and our team had 2 boys; beautiful brindle boy "Reino" (Hi-Lite Dreaming Bulldobas) was 2nd with honour prize!! Congrats family Hokkanen, our dear friends :-)) Brother "Nikke" (Hi-Lite Dashing Bulldobas) swept the table being BOB-puppy and finally Group-1 puppy under judge mr. Esko Nummijärvi! The judge totally loved Nikke :-)) So it was more than a dream start to their show careers and we are very very happy! Congrats also to Nikke's owner Taru. The critiques can be found at Nikke's and Faruk's own show results pages.
31/07 We had a nice letter from the Finnish Basenjiclub's breeding committee; Our planned litter Timon x Maisa is now officially recommended!! Now we just wait for Maisa to start her season... :-))
28/07 Little and sweet mr. Joonas (Hi-Lite Dating Bulldobas - 6 months) entered a match show in Suonenjoki with me. This brindle boy is looking fab and he won Best In Show!! So proud of him, keep up the good work his owners Eric & Annamaria :-))
24/07 Tuuli congratulates her gorgeous sons Rene and Karma for winning a lot at big Helsinki National Summer Show. Rene won BOS under judge mr. Jarmo Vuorinen and tri brother Karma was bm-3 with a cc. This cc made him a brand new Finnish & Swedish Champion!! Our warmest thoughts for you all, way to go Helena and Karma :-))
18/07 Way to go our little black&white star Alli and owner Noora! They entered the puppy class at Ylivieska Int show and the result was BOB-puppy with a lovely critique :-) Tuuli's son Rene (Bulldobas Cream And Sugar) was BM-2; congrats to Tiina also!! Added lots of critiques to our dog's own show results pages.
17/07 Maisa did it again!!! Group win!! Just when we thought we were about to get down from 7th heaven, princess Maisa strut her stuff again at Mäntsälä all breed show. The judge was mr. Paavo Mattila and the adult entry was nice 17. Duke was entered as well and he first won the males with a cc!! Then it was Maisa's turn to win the bitches and finally BOB award :-) We were naturally more than pleased! Decided to wait for the group finals. And boy, was it worth to wait as the judge mrs. Elina Haapaniemi gave Maisa the first prize of Group-5! Sooo thrilled we were, it was an icing on the cake. No placement for our princess in the next day's BIS-final but who cares?? She did absolutely wonderful job and we did give her lots of treats afterwards :-) We want to thank again the judges, mr. Mattila and mrs. Haapaniemi for these wins! My warmest thanks this time goes to dear friends Ari & Janne, who were there to keep us company and to help out in everything :-)
13/07 Little mr. Faruk started his show career in an unofficial match show and in a super hot weather... Still he managed to charm the judge, mr. Markku Kipinä, who placed our "small" 4 month old CAO boy as 2nd in big baby dogs class. We do value his opinion and words about Faruk a lot :-)
10-11/07 For a long time we had a chance to go to a dog show trip "just the two of us" and we surely had a lovely weekend in Oulu, there were 2 International dog shows. Oulu has been a very successful place for our dogs and so it was this time too! In a boiling hot weather on Saturday the judge for basenjis was mrs. Tuula Pratt from Finland. First he placed Timon as 2nd best dog with res-cacib, but then gave Miss Maisa the BOB award! She seemed to like her a lot :-) Later on in the group Maisa was also shortlisted by judge mr. Tapio Eerola. Not quite a placement for us though. On Sunday the weather was as hot.... Listen to the results: Timon BOS with cacib and Maisa BOB with cacib as well under judge mr. Gunnar Nymann from Denmark!! But there was "a bit" more to come: the same judge was judging the group later and in the very tough company Maisa was given Group-1 :-))) We we absolutely thrilled and could not almost believe it! Even if it was a real heat wave Maisa enjoyed showing herself and really gave it her best. The BIS judge was a charming Italian gentleman, mr. Paolo Dondina. He loved Maisa so much and placed her as BIS-3!!! The day was more than perfect and you can imagine how happy we were! The long way back home didn't seem so long after all :-)) Our warmest thank yous to judges Pratt, Eerola, Nymann and Dondina! We want to dedicate this marvellous win to Maisa's grand-dam, beautiful Mali (Helios Hot Chilli Pepper) who died earlier in that week.
19-21/06 Had an absolutely fun trip to Sweden with Miss Maisa and her brother Karma (Bulldobas Catch The wind) and owner Helena. There were 3 international shows in the beautiful city of Jönköping. The first day was a bit rainy and cold and so were the results: Maisa was 2nd in a big open class with cq and Karma was 3rd. The judge was mrs. Kornelia Butrimova. Our judge on the second day was mr. Zoran Brankovic and as the sun started to shine, our results got better. First out in the ring was Karma who the judge seemed to like a lot as he was the winner of big open class with cq and in the end he was 3rd best male with later usable cc!! Maisa did almost as well; she won her class of big entry as well and was 4th best bitch!! The last day was very warm and we had a nice judge mr. Rony Doedjins of Holland. Karma won his class again and finally was 2nd best dog with another cc and res-cacib :-) He surely looked handsome! Maisa was looking super as well and gaited nicely; result was 3rd best bitch :-) The results are very pleasing as the entry was huge every day; some 20-30 adults and there were lots of great dogs from allover Scandinavia. Thank you Helena for the company and congrats for Karma's prizes - Momma Tuuli here at home is as proud of her kids as am I :-) All critiques of Maisa can be seen at her own show results page.
12/06 Super news from the Czech Specialty: Timon's kids success continues :-) Best In Show was a son of Timon, Bulldobas Blockbuster aka Jaro!! How great is that? The judge was world famous Jon Curby, so this win is much valued. Congrats Marcel, Anne and Tipi-the-breeder :-))
05-05/06 Finnish Basenji Specialty was a nice event again! We were so happy to see our WONDERFUL friends all over the country again!! The judge was mrs. Säde Hohteri from Finland and the entry was over 100. Duke, Maisa, Tuuli and Timon all got excellents in grading as well as great written critiques :-) Timon was also shortlisted at the big class of 15 champion males! The best result for our team got our newest import and the first black/white basenji at Hi-Lite; miss Alli aka Kingwanas Greatest Story Of All. She was looking superb and was 3rd out of 15 baby girls! The judge's critique about her started as: "Stunning and very stylish..." :-) So we are very excited to look further to see her grow. Thank you for our dear friend Liv for breeding her and sending her over and thanks/congrats to her co-owner Tiina @ Bulldobas as well! Alli is living with Noora and she has taken very good care of her - thank you everyone!
05/06 Even if we were not able to attend the Estonian Winner show 2010 this year, it was time for Timon as a stud dog to shine... His beautiful daughter Solebas Amazing Anna won BOB with title EEW-10, cacib and cc and so she became a new Estonian and Latvian Champion!! So proud and happy for the owners of Anna and for breeder Tiina Tootmaa :-))
29/05 We are sooo happy after some health testing again; took Duke (Kimwitu's Duke E) and Nikke (Hi-Lite Dashing Bulldobas) to a official eye checking and they are both all clear!!! We think this is great news :-)
23/05 We attended the "famous" Aptus show in Helsinki for a second time. It seems to be a quite nice show for us since couple of years back darling Tuuli was BOB and today her beautiful daughter Maisa won the bitches with cacib nro. 6 and BOS :-)) The boys did fairly well too; Timon was 4th best male and Duke (perhaps a bit too Yankee like for our judge mrs. Brenda Banbury from England?) excellent 2nd in Juniors. Very happy! Now we are waiting to go to our Specialty show in two weeks to have FUN with our friends and to see a wonderful entry of basenjis (126) as well :-)
20/05 Little man Nikke (Hi-Lite Dashing Bulldobas) has been to two match shows just to practise a bit. And he surely needs some more practising ;) At his first match show he was 2nd out of 15 puppies and today he went BIS-5 out of 95 dogs!! Stacking him is - well - tough job? But I guess the jugdes love his movement as much as we do! He is only 4 months now so his behaviour is excused with a big smile :-))
16/05 Timon is soooo proud of his handsome Estonian son Solebas A'Dream Action for finishing his Estonian and Finnish Lure Coursing Championship by the best way possible; winning the Estonian lure coursing title EMM-10 for the 2nd year in row!! That's so wonderful Action :-)
16/05 We had invited lots of puppies over to spend a lovely afternoon having fun at us. We are happy that so many puppies with their owners were able to join us :-) The puppies were a mix of Hi-Lite/Bulldobas pups and even one Yurala was here :-)) Thanks everyone, you really made our day!!
13/05 The first lure coursing competition of the season, for Timon, in Kajaani. Timon was 2nd with cq! At the same time we visited our friends that are the co-owners of our little keeper bitch puppy Minni (Hi-Lite D'vine Bulldobas). She has grown up nicely and we really adore her movement! Keep up the good work with her Katja :-)
08/05 Lots of updates thanks to our webmaster Katja! :-) Now you can find own pages of Alli, Nikke and Minni and also our newest addition Faruk! He is Janne's "little darling", a Central Asian Ovcharka male Turkmen Stam Faruk. He has coped into our pack very well and is such a cuddly teddybear :-) Thank you to his breeders Svetlana and Jorma Kamila!
Spring is also a time for some annual health testing and did it this time to Duke and Maisa in form of thyroids. The results are most pleasing :-)
17/04 Drove all the way to the West coast of Finland to take part to Vaasa Int show. The judge there was mrs. Jelena Kruus from Estonia. It was only Duke and Maisa this time that I had with me and they both received res-cacibs! The most flattering critiques can be found at both dogs' show results page, as always :-) As I was in Vaasa, had to go and meet the little ones Alli (Kingwanas Greatest Story Of All) and Lego (Hi-Lite D'light Bulldobas) as well, in their own home town. They are both very happy and lively little basenjis and I cannot wait to see how they will look as they grow up!! Keep up the good work Noora and Mikko :-) We would like to congratulate the father of our puppies, Old Legend's Dojo-Hoshi, for finishing his German champion VDH title. Great job Katrin and Dojo - we are so proud!
27/03 Great show news from Germany: Timon's super looking son Bulldobas Blockbuster won BOB and BIG-3 couple of weeks back at Offenburg show under judge Noel Baaser. Today's news came from Luxemburg where he won last cacib needed and is now new International and Lux Ch!! We are so proud of Jaro :-) Warmest congratulations to owners Marcel & Anne and to breeder Tiina T!
20/03 Wonderful, wonderful news from the huge Tampere International show. The judge was mr. Boris Spoljaric from Croatia and there were over 30 basenjis entered. First we had Duke in the ring and he won the junior class with excellent. Timon was naturally in very tough champion class and was exc2! In the best male competition our boys did marvellous; Duke 2nd and Timon 4th :-) There were also lots of girls entered and Maisa was very beautiful, winning the bitches and finally BOB!! We were also able to show Bulldobas breeders class as BOB -love you Tiina THE Breeder! Thank you everyone for everything on this very special day :-) We were not able to stay and wait the finals though. Still a perfect day! The house is very quiet now since the puppies are all gone. We feel lucky to have found very nice homes to all our babies. I guess most of them will be seen in the show ring later! The only girl Minni (Hi-Lite D'vine Bulldobas) and Nikke-boy (Hi-Lite Dashing Bulldobas) will stay co-owned with Taru and Katja & co :-) Handsome Reino (Hi-Lite Dreaming Bulldobas) will be loved by Satu and family, Lego (Hi-Lite D'light Bulldobas) by Salla & Mikko, Andy (Hi-Lite Dazzling Bulldobas) by our friends fam. Gabel, Kafka (Hi-Lite Dating Bulldobas) by Annamaria & Eric and Tiitus (Hi-Lite Digging Bulldobas) by Pirjo and Seppo! Thank you everyone for taking such good care of our little ones!
06/03 Check out the new wonderful photos of our gorgeous puppies out of D-litter photopage! Dazzling, Dating and D'light are still available and ready to go to a new home :-)
01/03 The puppies visited veterinarian today and everything went well and they are doing just great!! The first one will move tomorrow, the second on Wednesday, then third etc. But we still have 3 wonderful boys looking for that own special home; 2 brindles and a red one. If you are interested, don't hesitate to contact us. Added couple of new photos to our D-litter gallery :)
20/02 Horrible weather continues; -30 degrees. Still I was off to a show in Tuusniemi, this time had miss Maisa and brother Bono (B. Candyman) with me. Bono behaved nicely in the cold conditions and was placed as 2nd best dog with res-cc! Maisa was awarded BOB by the judge mrs. Ligita Zake from Latvia :-) Needless to say we didn't stay and wait for the group finals.. While I was coming back home from the show received a wonderful message: Timon is now officially the male of the year 2009 and Duke the puppy of the year 2009!! We are so happy to be owned by darling Timon and to be the co-owners of handsome Duke. Congrats also to Tiina and Eila - hugs! This year has also started in a very promising way to our dogs, so we will see what happens along this year....
19/02 The pups are here at "home"! 7 sweet babies are here and we all take care of them; specially the human kids and our adult dogs. Tuuli even allowed them to go to her "milkbar" :-) Trying to get them used to table and will post some photos asap. Gotta love them all!!
14/02 On Valentine's Day you are supposed to have fun with your friends and so I did with Tiina T on our successful trip to Estonia. It was an International show in Tallinn and basenjis were judged by mr. Miroslaw Redlicki from Poland. We had syblings Rene and Maisa with us and they both won their own sex with cacibs and cc's! Maisa's cc made her a new Estonian champion, it is her 3rd national title in only 25 months of age :-)) This time handsome Rene was BOB, congrats Tiina - Momma Tuuli is sooooo proud of her kids!
Also Timon's beautiful daughter Solebas Amazing Anna took part to the show and was 3rd best bitch! Visited the puppies also on my way to the show and boy have they grown!? They look just gorgeous and I am totally in love with the handsome boys and the beauuuutiful princess!
06/02 Had a lovely day "alone" at Eno group show with Maisa and Duke. The judge was mr. Paavo Mattila from Finland and listen to this... Duke won the males with cc and Maisa the bitches with cc and this made her a brand new Finnish and Norweigian champion!! I am so proud of little and darling miss Maisa. In the ring choosing best of breed Duke won and the jugde really seemed to like him a lot; he even thought Duke was something really special and exceptionally promising young dog. So thank you mr. Mattila! Satu, Kerttu's owner, keeps me really well updated about the puppies so thank you! The precious pups are doing greatly; starting to make yodeling voices, their tails are starting to get curled and ears to erect. We do love them so much from a distance for another couple of weeks...
Few boys still looking for that own special home - I will be more than glad to give you any kind of information of the pups :-)
30-31/1 Wonderful weekend in Jyväskylä! Went to visit Bulldobas-Tiina and to welcome our most new import, a beautiful black/white Norweigian girl Kingwanas Greatest Story Of All "Alli". Her pedigree is the reason we wanted to get her to Finland, together with kennel Bulldobas and her co-owner Noora Kaarela. Bet little Alli will make her big brother Raipe verrry happy! We want to thank you everyone making this possible; Liv and Dag, Astrid, Marcel and Kristina, Tiina and Noora :-)) Alli will have her own page shortly. On Sunday went to see our D-puppies, who are 3 weeks old now. Couldn't be more happy about them! They all are growing up nicely and look very beautiful :-) They have started to have their solid food and surprise, surprise - they lovely it ;-) One boy, either red/white or brindle/white (both flashy marked), is looking for a co-owning home and couple of others for their own home! All inquiries are welcome :-) New photos added to D-litter photo page.
24/1 Our family had a wonderful visit at the puppies and family Hokkanen! The 7 pups have grown a lot and are doing just fine :-) Thank you Satu for everything! Added new photos to D-litter gallery.
19/1 A short update of the pups; Kerttu-mom's owner has kept us really well informed about the little ones, they are very lively and gaining weight every day! We are going to see them again on Saturday and have a photo or two :-) Some boys still looking for that own loving home - all inquiries are warmly welcome! In a couple of weeks we are happy to welcome our imported little Miss Alli to join our basenji family as well... :-)
13/1 Updated first photos of the puppies to their own photo page.
9-10/1 Hmm... This year has started out- should I say- in good Speed? So may wonderful, wonderful news already in January! First news are from Saturday. Darling Kerttu (Bulldobas Dream Of Kenya) decided in good time to get rid off of her huge belly... and started to whelp in the early afternoon at her owner's house as was planned. As I was REALLY not ready yet, sweet Tiina went there to help. Pups came out in a row and easily, result is 3 brindle boys, 1 blackish boy(?), 2 red boys and a princess in red!! Kerttu is a wonderful mom and the puppies are very lively and loud, just perfect bunch! Our most sincere thank you for Tiina Taavitsainen and Kerttu's precious owners Satu and Ilkka Hokkanen, for everything!! Some boys are still looking for that own special home :-) Later on on the same day there were great news also from Estonia; 2 of Timon's kids are now champions!! There was a show in Tartu and Solebas Attractive Ally won BOB and BIG-3 under judge mrs. Anett Bystrup (Denmark) and brother Solebas Almighty Alfons was BOS! Our warmest congratulations to breeder/owner Tiina Tootmaa :-)) On Sunday we popped in to Kajaani International show and Timon was, once again, on the top. He won BOB and cacib and my sweetest miss Maisa was 3rd best bitch :-) The judge was mrs. Susanne Wendell from Finland.
01/01 Happy new year everyone!
