Oki is a very, funny, talkative, boy full of bounce and energy. He loves running as fast as he can and jumps effortlessly over any of the dogs or even the coffee table that might get in his way. He also loves to snuggle into your lap and cuddle just like his mum Jorji & he is a really big smoocher! Oki reminds us the most of a deer and often gets called "Bambi" at home. He gets on amazingly well with our other male dogs and is a very well behaved house dog (except for always stealing the bath mat).
In the Hound Club of Victoria 2004 Point score Oki was the Top Basenji of the year. Not only did he win the Point Score but he had double the points of his nearest rival.
Oki's littersister Pitsi exported to Finland & owned by Bulldobas Basenjis has also had a super show career being an International All Breeds 'Best Exhibit In Show' winner (2,200 entries) & has numerous Group placements.
Oki has an effortless gait with good reach and drive, sound movement coming and going, good angulation front & rear, depth of chest, good substance, proud head carriage, good length of neck, good feet ,good shelf and an excellent coat. He is a real talker and above all else we just love his gentle, easy going and affectionate nature.
When Oki was 2.5 years old his tail was injured so he only comes out for Specialties and the occasional Show now as he loves showing off.

Critiques from breed specialists about Oki have said ....
"Very typey dog who was in no way disgraced with this placing in a very strongly contested class. Super head, eye and expression and the right amount of bone and substance for a male, just slightly longer cast than those placed above him but a very good dog with an impressive stride."
...... Dr. R.James (U.K) 2005
Typey dog, good size, used his ears well. Correct moderate hind angulation, strong mover
