Hansu & Tuuli- 2005

Tuuli's owners have this to say about her......"Little Miss Tuuli. What can you say? She is the most wonderful first basenji to own. We couldn’t be happier with her. She fits perfectly to our family, the kids too! Her temperament is soooo nice, she loves to lay in her bed all day long by the fireplace in our kitchen :) Besides her temperament she is also very beautiful to watch with the most feminine head with dark brown eyes and tiny pointing ears. Her body is well balanced and her movement is also excellent. And this all is also recognized by judges from all over the world. Tuuli has been one of the top winning bitches in Finland 2005, 2006, 2007 & 2008. We are so proud of our little princess." Hansu Kytta
