....Specialty Critiques.....
BEST EXHIBIT IN SHOW - Basenji Club NSW Championship 2005
- Dr.R.James (U.K - Jasmorne Basenjis) Entry 137.......
"In my opinion this 16 months red and white male is a world class exhibit of super type and quality. So very pleasing to go over with a super head, eye and expression, he is masculine in appearance with ample bone and substance and most importantly the graceful appearance which so typifies the breed. His condition and presentation was faultless and he was moved at the optimum pace to show off his typical side gait. Delighted to be able to award him the Dog CC and Best In Show award in this very strong entry".
2007 BCOV Championship Specialty
BEST INTERMEDIATE IN SHOW -
- Glen Dymock U.K (formerly of Afrika Basenjis -Australia) - "Top quality dog of very good type & balance, wedgy head, used his ears well, excellent fine skin & coat, rock-hard topline, deep chest. Excellent shelf & tail, long second thigh, moved with drive."
- Mr Magnus Hagstedt ( Sweden) - Opposite Intermediate In Show - BCONSW Championship Specialty 2006
"Red / white, dry elegance, smooth balanced outline, excellent coat, has a nice carriage and is very eye catching and stylish".
BOS & Runner Up In Show 2009 BCOV Championship Specialty-
- Mrs Kay Eldred (Jebelmarra Basenjis Australia )
“A fine-boned elegant Red & White dog displaying balance and very good type. His length of coupling gave him an excellent swinging stride on the move. Proud head carriage added to the overall look which gave him a winning edge. Dog CC & RUBIS ”

Sunny is a real little lap dog & would love nothing better than to just cuddle and be cuddled every day. He is the cuddliest Basenji we have ever known - he quickly finds his way onto anyones laps (including our guests) as soon as they sit down and snuggles right in. He loves visitors and he is a loving, affectionate & gentle little boy who loves yodeling loud and clear. He is an easy dog to live with and very well behaved in the home.
Our 3 boys Zurii, Sunny & Oki are the best of mates.
Oki & Sunny absolutely adore each other and seek each other out constantly for ear cleaning sessions & cuddling on the lounge suite together.
At the Melbourne “Pet Expo” Sunny was a terrific ambassador for the breed with the multitudes of people passing through for a pat. He just soaked up all the attention which included cuddles & kisses from people of all ages and sizes; including toddlers & disabled children.
