toward AKC title
Xi is a Stardard bitch, by measurement: 16in. x 16in. She resembles basenji females of the 1950's and '60's in that she is very short-coupled. She has a shiny black, luxurious coat, tight tail curl and exquisite wedge head with hooded ears. I can preserve much of the breed's original looks through this little gal. Xi's temperament is above
reproach. Sweet and loving and
fun-seeking, she is Sunshine and Happiness dressed for
success. She is laughingly called 'the black pumpkin' when
she eats a little too well, and this happens most often at
shows were Little Miss Flirt is able to charm bait and
treats from EVERYONE. We laugh about not sending food on
the road with her because of all she is able to beg from
her admirers. Xi wasn't much interested in showing until we shipped her down to Florida where she stayed with professional handler,BJ Barnhart, and her boyfriend George, who introduced her to the best thing about dog shows: they are FUN! she played with all their Danes, Dobes, Boxers and Rotties, and somehow came home convinced that at shows, everyone is there to meet HER!!! Shows just thrill her to pieces now, and we are thrilled to pieces FOR her! Such a transformation, I cannot tell you! We look forward to Xi passing on her sweetness, charm, and good looks to her own puppies soon. She comes from impeccable breeding - a 'blue blood' basenji all the way. She could be arrogant about her roots, but she is not. She is a friend to the world, and we hope to continue showing her to it! We do hope that we will fulfill our plan on having her follow in Daddy Tux's footsteps, and gain her FCI championship in international shows. She will have a fabulous time making new friends, and I look forward to providing her the opportunity to do so. She is everything wonderful about basenjis, and I am lucky to have bred her, and to own her! +++Xi's only son, Calypso Jon Bon Jovi, debuted as a 6mos. old pup and won 3 Reserves before going home to grow up. He came out to make the real run to his title on April 30 and finished it May 27th, in six shows. He had only one defeat in that short stretch, another Reserve to a Major, but otherwise won two 2pt wins and the majors worth 3, 4 & 5 pts, including defeating male champions. He will be exhibited abroad to his FCI title like both his grandsires, Draken & Tux. "Thank you, Xi, for giving us such a fabulous dog with the most fantastic temperament! " *** Her name is pronounced "Zee", but BJ and George call her "EXee-EXee!" and so we do too, from time to time...and a bunch of other nicknames, naturally. After all, she IS a basenji! *** |
