3 years ago, the first Msumari`s Litter was born ♥
The parents are my lovely Iloua (Ch. Loki`s Iloua) and Ruben (Ch. Faraoland Xcuse me Desmond)!

The firstborn girl Msumari`s Aza Aminouh stayed with us, and at the moment she`s pregnant with the Msumari`s B-Litter
(Msumari`s Aza Aminouh X Quest Jokuba Dandy Shandy) !
The second born girl, Msumari`s Aza Amina found a great home at Angelika and Hartmut Joswig and Weimaraner Dante at Dortmund! She is the best basenjimodel ever, and together with Dante, she is already a covermodel of a book!
The thirdborn girl, Msumari`s Aza Aloua, lives with Dorota & Tomek Müller at Lodz, Poland and she is the leader of the pack of 5 more basenjis! She is the Msumari`s puppi with the most championtitel - means 6!
The only boy of the litter is Msumari`s Ayo Azibo aka "Beau". He is in co-owning with myself, but he lives in Zürich with Nora Lindqvist. She is also the owner of Ruben, the daddy of the Msumari`s A-Litter!

I consider myself very lucky that 3 years ago all puppies of the A-Litter found such wonderful and great homes!

25.12.2012

Today on christmas day, we did a nice walk in summer temperatures, and I took the opportunity and made ​​a few outdoor photos of the girls, which can be seen below!
Aminouh has now more than 12.5 kg, but she still loves our walks!
Of course she is now a bit slower, but she still loves to hunt mice!

Besides this, the "Msumari`s B-Litter Diary" is finally online!

The last 2 weekends we have been at the racecourt at Mammendorf with Iloua & Aminouh and they have been very wild caused by our abstinence on the track during summer.
It's always so nice to see how much fun they have on the track.
Unfortunately, my time didn`t allowed to take part at an official race or coursing this year, but I hope, we`ll join some next year!
More photos of Iloua & Aminouh can be seen below!
Some of the photos are from my dear friend Katrin, who discovered the photography as a new hobby for herself!
Very good photos, I think!

Finally, I had some time to update all the news from the last time!

We have been in holidays for two weeks the end of mai/beginning of june in Italy, in the beautiful Tuscany, and the girls had a lot of fun as always at the dogbeach!
One day we met a 5 month old tri basenji puppy girl named Asia, and Aminouh had fun playing and running with her at the beach - so cute!
Unfortunatly I had not enough time yet to sort out all the photos I made, hope, I`ll find some time soon! But some photos can be already seen below.
In Italy, we went as well to the dogshow at Viterbo, where Aminouh got V1, Res-CAC &

how fast she is!

Last weekend, we have been for a visit at my friend Claudia and her 2 Ridgeback girls
Vuana & Kiruna at Taunusstein.
We had a lovely walk along the Rhein on friday, and the girls had a lot of fun in the blowballfields.
Friday afternoon I took some beautiful photos of Iloua & Aminouh, which I`ll post soon.
Saturday, we went to the general meeting of the basenji club. After the meeting, we had a nice evening at the hotel together with our basenjifriends.
Sunday was one of the highlights for the girls, we have been guests at the raceclub of the
DCW Darmstadt.
The weather wasn`t the best for to take photos but luckily it stayed dry for the most of the time!
Iloua & Aminouh had their first runs with 3 other basenjis under competition terms.
All 5 made a clean race and Jill & Aminouh had two head-to-head races!
Some photos of our exciting weekend can be seen below!
More photos of other basenjis at the track can be seen here!

01.05.2012

Finally Iloua & Aminouh passed successfully their group licence runs together with Beau at the track at Mammendorf, the 29.04.2012.
Unfortunatly, we had to stop with the runs one week before, because it started to rain.
Now, the paperwork is on its way to the DWZRV, and we`re looking forward to our first race!
After our visit at the racetrack, Beau went home again to Switzerland. It was great to have the wild boy here again for a while!

And we got great news from Kennel Burudika from Poland!
Msumari`s Aza Aloua wins at the Internationalen Show at Opole (CZ) the 29.04.2012 under the judge Miroslav Vaclavik (CZ) CACIB & BOB!
Super! Congrats Dorota!!!

22.04.2012

Since last thursday "Beau" (Msumari`s Ayo Azibo) is her again for a visit and Aminouh is so happy to have one more basenji to play with :-)
I had at least some rays of sunlight, so I took some new pics of the trio.
They can be seen below!

Saturday we have been in the "English Garden" in Munich and Beau had the chance to show, how socialiced he is! After some little problems at the beginning (it was understandable, because he was on the short leash) he had so much fun playing with all the small and huge dogs!
For safety reasons, he was on the long leash, so called "Schleppleine"!
He is a potent male, who doesn`t live permanent with us, so it was easier for me, to intervent from distance in a case of need .
But everything was uneventful, whereat there is always a little bit of "macho" behavior!
On the photos in the Gallery can be seen, how much fun the 3 basenjis had!

15.04.2012

Yesterday, the 14.04.2012 we had been at the CACIB at Wieselburg (A).
It was the first chance for Aminouh to complete the Austrian & International Champion!
And what should I say - Aminouh wins BOB under the austrian judge M. Blaha and she is now in shortest time with only 27 1/2 monthe Austrian Champion and the first International Msumari`s Champion!
We are so proud of her!

12.04.2012

We had Dorota & Tomek with Msumari`s Aza Aloua of the Basenjikennel "Burudika" (PL) here for a visit at our home.They have been on the long way home from Rome, where they have met with Katie Campbell (Taji Basenjis, USA) and Grazyna Kramarow (Loango Basenjis, PL) to get their new tricolour basenjipuppy "Taji Hodari flies to Loango"!
We had a lovely walk together with Iloua, her both daughters Msumari`s Aza Aminouh & Msumari`s Aza Aloua and tireless "Pilot George" and a pleasant evening at home. It was a great meeting and I could take some nice photos, although the weather wasn`t that good.
They can be seen below!
Besides this, Dorota & Tomek had the good news, that Msumari´s Aza Aloua was tested "Fanconi Clear" with the direct test - super!

11.04.2012

We have been again for the eye exam at Professor Köstlin at the animal universiticlinic in Munich. Unfortunatly the suspect of cataract in Ilouas eyes could`t be solved, so we can`t make any further breeding plans with her.
But the main important thing is, that she`ll not get blind, because the cataract is marginal!
Everything is ok with Aminouhs eyes!

08.04.2012

I made some new photos of Iloua & Aminouh, which can be seen on my photopage www.blende68.de!

Besides this, I had the chance to take photos of Moh & Jack, the two basenjis of
Andrea & Christoph Müller (Ndungu Kinas Basenjis).
They can be seen as well on my photopage!

25.03.2012

The racecourt we usually go is not open yet, thats why we went to Lorch to the WRV Staufen yesterday, which is about 200km away from us.
But they had the first training of the year 2012!
Iloua & Aminouh have been so wild at the startplace, they came out of the boxes very good, and they did very good with their 2 solo licence runs!
We`re looking forward to the next time!
I could`t take my own camera this time, but photographer Armin Hauke took great pics from the first training day. He´s got a lovely homepage - have a look at www.picturegrafie.de!

As well, we got lovely studio photos again of Angelika und Amina!
As always, the can be seen in Aminas gallery and below!

Msumari`s Aza Aloua had a lot of fun with coursing in Poland!
Photos can be seen in Aloua Gallery and below!

18.03.2012

Finally I had a bit of time to post all the photos of our short holidays in Austria!
We had a great time and unexpected good weather, so I took a lot of photos of
Iloua & Aminouh!
We met Tao again who is now 9 month old, and they had so much fun racing around at the golfcourt, in the snow and digging in the sandbunkers!
Photos can be seen in the galery Holidayphotos!

Besides this, I got 2 new cool films of Msumari`s Aza Amina. The films are showing her progress in retrieving! The films of Amina can bee seen here!
Thanks to Angelika & Hartmut for sending them - great, how Amina is retrieving!

15.02.2012

Great news from OFFA!

Loki`s Iloua and her daughter Msumari`s Aza Aminouh are BOTH "Fanconi Clear" with the Fanconi Direct Test - Suuuuper!!!

The story about:
Iloua was tested "probably clear" in 2007.
I tested all the puppies of the Msumari`s A-litter in the beginning of 2010.
The results of the girls came in april, Aminouh and Amina were tested as "probably clear", Aloua was tested as "probably carrier".
Although I did send the test of Azibo with the others, his result came later in may - he was tested as "probably clear".
In june, I got a letter of the OFFA, and they wrote, that due to an evaluation error the tests of the girls had to be rerun, and then, Aminouh and Amina were tested as "probably carrier" and Aloua was tested "probably clear"
That was a bit confusing!
Beginning of december 2011, I ordered two new test-kits for my Basenjis Iloua & Aminouh.
And now, both, Iloua & Aminouh are tested "fanconi clear"!
I`m soooo happy!!!

12.02.2012

The last two weekends, we had lovely winterweather with sunshine, and I always had my camera with me during to the nice walks we had.
The girls - specially Aminouh - had a lot of fun racing around in the snow and playing with all the dogs, we met. One of them was Billy, a Tibet Terrier, the other one Balu, a very lovely Dalmatian, with who Aminouh had a lot of fun today.
Photos of the last two weekends can be seen below.

29.01.2012

Msumari`s Aza Amina has now - together with Weimaranergirl Dante - her own homepage!
Have a look at www.foto-jagd-hund.de
A lovely page of Angelika & Hartmut Joswig with a lot of (Basenji-) photos!

22.01.2012

We got some new lovely (snow-) photos of Amina & Dante!
As always, they can be seen in Aminas gallery!
Thank you, Angelika!
And I´m looking forward to your new homepage, which is coming soon!

16.01.2012

The first show of Aminouh in the new year was unfortunatly a complete flop.
We have been at the CACIB at Nürnberg (D) the last weekend, and Aminouh was entered the first time in the open class.
Judge was M. Blaha from Austria. Under her, Aminouh got third in the group 10 weeks ago at the CACIB at Stuttgart. At Nürnberg, we had to leave the ring with very good 1...

But we have lovely photos from Msumari`s Aza Aloua of the kennel Burudika from Poland!
She is allowed to help her basenjifriend Nirse Kibibi to raise the puppies of the Burudika A-Litter (Ch. Nirse Kibibi X Ch. Baagna Free Trader)!
Some of the supersweet photos can be seen below, much more on the homepage of
Burudika Basenjis!

07.01.2012

We had a great and relaxed time in Austria during the chrismas holidays and we enjoyed the time very much!
We made long walks in the snow, and for two days we had lovely sun, so I could take some pics of the girls, which can be seen in the gallery holidayphotos.

Friends of us with their sheperd Finley have been with us for the turn of the year. Photos of 3 relaxed days with long walks can be seen below.
