New Litter:

Len Reddie, "Have I mentioned that we had a littler of African Basenjis - the first in Australia. Akua (Avongara Akua a foundation stock male, owner Ethel Blair, Brisbane) and Opal (Avongara Black Opal of Brushy Run) got together to make five babies - 4 male and 1 female.

They were born on 4 July 13, and are doing really well - as someone pointed out, they were bound to double their birth weight in one week when their mother is like a Freisian cow.

They lack for nothing, as their Mum is very attentive."

Kaila Harlan. We all love you.

New Additions:

All of her traits are so basenji-ish, we can't figure out what the mix is.
