Puppies on the way! 🐾

After a long carjourney of 3 200 km, we are finally back home following a successful mating. If all goes as planned, the puppies are expected around July 30th.

The sire is the handsome Lenny (POL & SVK Ch POL jCh Bahaticca’s On-Line), who has already produced several beautiful offspring.

The dam is our beloved cuddle companion, Lettu (C.I.B., Nord & FIN & SWE & NO & DK & EE & LT Ch, EE JCh, TLNJW-20, PRTV-22, BALTV-23, Afrikan Laminam Blazing Khaleesi For Hanishan), who is e.g. the mother of Finland’s No. 1 show basenji.

Now we keep our fingers crossed and look forward to the weeks ahead! ❤️🐶

Your Basenji’s nails are talking before your dog does… 👀🐾
Every breeder has that one topic they repeat so often they start sounding like a broken record.
Mine? Nails. 😂

Yes… again about nail trimming.
And yes… it really is that important.

I know Basenjis are dramatic enough already without adding “spa day for paws” to the schedule, but long nails are not just a cosmetic issue. They change posture, movement, balance, and over time can overload joints and muscles.

If you hear little “click-click-click” sounds on the floor before your Basenji enters the room… congratulations - your dog announced the problem before you saw it. 🤦‍♀️

Basenjis are built to move beautifully:
• light movement
• elegant posture
• strong, cat-like feet
• balanced body mechanics

But long nails literally change how the paw touches the ground. The body starts compensating. And dogs rarely say 🙏🏻
“hey, my shoulders and wrists are uncomfortable today.”

❗️They just adapt quietly.

That’s why I keep repeating this to every puppy family, every client, every friend with a dog… probably for the 100th time already 🤩

Short nails are not about “perfect show grooming.”
They are about comfort, healthy movement, and protecting the body long-term💪

So this is your friendly breeder reminder:
If the nails touch the floor while standing… it’s time for a trim ✂️🐕

Your Basenji may not thank you during the process.
But their joints will thank you later. ❤️
