We
have been sharing our home
with basenjis for 20 years and could
not imagine our lives without them.
Our basenjis are very much part of
our lives and even though we have a
registered kennel, KAUNIS
(meaning beautiful in Finnish),
we breed mainly for ourselves.
We do show our dogs and are
always thrilled when any basenji
achieves a good result.
We
work closely with the other
reputable breeders in South Africa
(MARIKATE & KITOKOMBWA) to
ensure that the gene pool is well managed.

“I put his basket beside my bed
so that if he got lonely all I had to do
was drop my hand down to him.
Under his blanket I put a hot water bottle
wrapped in a cardigan for comfort
and the traveling clock for a heartbeat.
He chewed a hole in the bottle,
threw out the clock and
unraveled the cardigan.”

with a Basenji by Jill Wylie
