Tahzu had impressed us so much with all his good qualities, temperament, coat, length of leg and his wonderful of fun, as always, with basenjis. independent nature that we had thoughts of breeding Fisibu to one of our bitches. But, as things turned out, that was not to be. Fisibu was a small, stocky little red dog with a beautiful coat and nature. Written in Lockerbie, Scotland in November, 1973 He accepted the change in his environment without a qualm and his yodel was a joy to hear. But while he was with me in Kitwe he had a most amazing escape. In those far off days, all of ten years BCOA African Stock Project ago, we had no electric light on the farm, only Tilley lamps. One night after we had all gone to bed and the lamps were out, Fisibu dashed out from his sleeping place under my bed and there was Order the 2005 BCOA African Stock Project Book ~ contains the sound of a terrible dog fight.

I can remember many pleasant times with the basenji pack, sometimes we had nine or ten running in and out of the house.

CLUB COLUMNS Summertime and the Livin’ is Easy…In Illinois at the BCOSW breaks for Pat and her teeter. Oops! We had the teeter, a tire jump, weaves, several stand-alone jumps and a tunnel. I commented that 20 years ago when I got my first basenji, I would not have imagined doing agility off-leash in an unfenced yard surrounded by other people and their basenjis and a table full of food! All the basenjis who participated in the agility practice did well – the only Fun Day escapee was Aubrey, owned by Susan Cook, who high-tailed it from the agility course out to the field where coursing was going on. By the way, see Aubrey’s brag at the end of the column! I hate to sound like such a cheerleader for the BCOSW, but we I really enjoyed the fun day coursing practice. Karla and just had our annual club fun day on Saturday, July 14, and it was Andy tailored each practice to the dog whether it was out there the most fun ever. This year Wanda and Fred Pooley invited for fun like my retired courser, Casey, or a brand new puppy just seeing the lure for the us to their Adventureland Farm first time. It is very relaxed with time for outside Rockford, Illinois as a new people to ask questions and learn the change from our usual site at ins and outs of coursing. One of our most South Beloit City Park in South avid coursers was a mixed breed, perhaps Beloit, Illinois. It was a perfect mixed basenji and perhaps not, who would Midwest summer afternoon have run herself into the ground if we had to sit in the shade of the trees let her. She was keen! in the yard. We had a good Our 12 turnout of club members and some special guests too. If you recall our basenji rescue Abby and her mixed litter of five rescued, whelped and placed by BCOSW, you’ll remember that cute red and white boy, now named Cooper. He is enjoying life with his owners, Brad and Anna Bates of Madison, Wisconsin. Cooper and Anna came to play and what a handsome boy he has grown up to be -- very basenji-looking in the head and markings, but taller, longer and heavier. Cooper made friends with the other basenjis, but seemed to really enjoy a basenji wrestling match with Terry and Lisa Lemberger’s boy, Zeke. Karla Schreiber and Andy Hayek set up a lure course in the field, while some of us agility enthusiasts set up an agility course in the yard. The ever intrepid Pat Wand volunteered to bring her teeter, and I hear that she broke her mini van windshield transporting it for us – I think that is two-for-two windshield The Basenji Club of America, Inc.
