'Leeloo' gets her name from the lead female role "Leeloominai" from one of our favorite movies; 'The Fifth Element' (Leeloo for short & meaning 'Prescious Stones').
With her red and white coat & the slightly alien nature of the Basenji plus the fact that Leeloo brings us an 'element' of Avongara / American blood we thought the name fitting for our little Basenji girl.
Leeloo is a gentle, yodelling sweetheart and she has a really cute, funny method of welcoming our visitors & coaxing us to play with her by standing up on her hind feet and putting her front legs straight up in the air with her tail madly wagging away & she also loves rolling over to have her soft little belly kissed. She has wriggled her way right into the heart of our pack & they all love her to bits; even old Zurii likes being pestered by little Leeloo.
