After a month of preparation and planning our second Basenji, male Sutribe's Above the Horizon name "Dexter" has finally arrived in Zagreb!
Dexter comes from Sweden Suntirbe's Empire kennel, owned by Elisabeth Wannerbo, and is jointly owned with our dear friend Tisa Novak from Slovenia, kennel Anansi.
Dexter will live with us and with our Olabisi Chinua Asali - "Asali" and hope that he will develop into a very perspective male in this part of Europe. We consider him very important in our breeding plans for Bashira and Anansi kennel.

More about Dexter can be seen on his webpage.
 

The whole story of how we managed to get exactly this male is quite amazing, and we like to think that this has to be fate.

 

It was very difficult to organize Dexter's arrival in Croatia and we would like to take this opportunity once again to thank special friends – Tisa Novak and Pavle Dolinšek who went on the road on Wednesday, 03.05. 2012th, in very early morning hours (1 AM) so they could come on time to Vienna airport. Tisa, in these 3 days in Sweden had very little sleep since she had return on Saturday/Sunday from Motala to Stockholm and traveled all night. Upon arrival in Vienna Tisa and Paul headed straight to Croatia so that her travel lasted more than 12 hours!

A big thank goes to Michelle Oljemark ~ Sundevils Baseniji  for all the advices and the organization, Linda Ekman for help with transportation and of course Elisabeth Wennerbo for the wonderful hospitality, help with vaccinations, documentation, and Dexter of course!

 

Without you all this would not have been possible!

Dexter quickly find his way in the new environment and our family. It is a special feeling to have two Basenjis in the house and it's hard to imagine that before it was only Asali. Dexter is a wonderful boy, very attached to all family members. He loves to cuddle and be close to us in every moment. He is very quiet and calm dog.

Thanks to the first Tisa’s litter and wonderful friends who have become owners of Anansi puppies here in Zagreb, I can proudly say that Dexter and Asali are very happy Basenji because they have the opportunity at least once a week to socialize with other four Basenji nearby river Sava.

All images can be viewed in the Gallery or  Facebook page.

 

Thank you all !!!

Asal's got breeding license!

 

On Saturday, on the location KOSSP Zagreb (Polygon sporting clubs for training and working dogs)  held  Breeding  examination.   Asali  has got excellent opinion, praise, and most importantly - a license for breeding.

 

Breeding examination is compulsory for all males and females of official sports and breeds of dogs, with whom we want to do breeding in the Croatian Kennel Club.

 

 

03. - 04.03.2012. CACIB Zagreb

 

CACIB ZAGREB I i II ~ We are eagerly awaiting this exhibition in order to have the opportunity to close the Croatian Junior Championship. This has already accomplished the first day when Asali  got title excellent, JCAC, JBOB and BOB and only title JCAC was enough to become CRO JCH! The other day we repeated the previous and went back home with great titles, again excellent, JCAC, JBOB and BOB.

 

This was the last show in Junior class for Asali. From now we will enter the exhibition in a group of adult dogs, where we will be pursuing the CAC and CACIB titles which we are particularly looking forward and to be able to hunt the "real" championship!

 

I also hope that we will soon meet a lot more on basenji in Croatian exhibitions because there are three beautiful puppies from Slovenia that came to Croatia. They are from the first litter in kennel Anansi of my dear friend Tisa Novak. Two of three of them, male and female, will live in Zagreb, and the third (male) in Trogir.

In addition to a litter from Slovenia we have Croatian one in the house! In 2011 Croatia was received the first Basenji litter after a few years in the kennel  From Mapabebe.  We wish a welcome to Mapabebe male that arrived in Zagreb.

 

We look forward to the new basenji, wonderful companionship, long walks in which we have already begun to enjoy. Images can be viewed in the Gallery.

 

Welcome! ... you have been waiting for!

 

02.03.2012.

 

We have done one of extremely important medical tests to us but not obligatory for the breed to make sure the puppies will be healthy. Asali had done X-ray of the hips in our veterinary clinic "Buba" and we carry a picture to Veterinary Faculty in Zagreb to get a result. The hips were evaluated with the highest rating possible: HD - A so we were quite happy.

 

Second, from a total of four medical tests are behind us. Now we are waiting for an eye and thyroid tests. This we'll do in Ljubljana several months from now.

 

20.02.2012.

 

The owner and administrator of the dogs Portal VauVau Andreja Cipriš asked me to write an article about the Basenji breed. This article was published 20th of February 2012 on Web site: http://www.vauvau.net/
 

I sincerely hope that this article will help all dog lovers to learn more about the Basenji breed.
