🌙 Welcome to MoonMarked Basenjis 🌙

Some of you have been here for many years and through several chapters of my life with dogs. From Siberian Huskies, to stepping away from breeding for a time, to finding my way back into the conformation ring, this page has grown and changed right alongside me.

MoonMarked is the beginning of the next chapter.

My focus now is the Basenji, a breed that has completely captured me. MoonMarked will be a small, preservation-focused program built around health, temperament, structure, breed type and responsible breeding.

My foundation begins with Sarabi, who has already taken me on an incredible ride through the show ring and finished her AKC Championship. My goals with her extend far beyond simply producing puppies. I want to continue learning, showing, completing appropriate health testing, studying pedigrees and making thoughtful breeding decisions that contribute something worthwhile to the breed.

When I do breed, each pairing will have a purpose. Puppies will be raised with intention, and decisions about breeding, showing and placement will always be made with the future of the breed in mind.

You'll see plenty of Sarabi here, our adventures in the ring, future generations, the occasional chaos that comes with living with a Basenji, and everything I learn along the way. 😂

And while MoonMarked Basenjis is our name today, MoonMarked itself was chosen with the future in mind. There may eventually be another ancient, four-legged creature joining us on the feline side of the show world. 🌙🐾 For now, though, that story hasn't been written yet.

To everyone who has followed me through all the different eras of this page, thank you for sticking around while I found the direction that truly felt right.

Welcome to MoonMarked. 🌙

🏆 CHAMPION! 🏆

A little late posting this here, but Sarabi officially finished her AKC Championship! 💜✨

I couldn’t be more proud of this little girl and everything she has accomplished. From the tiny puppy we brought home to a finished Champion, it has been such an incredible journey. A huge thank you to everyone who has handled, supported, and believed in her along the way, especially her breeder, Laura. 💜

But her Championship is only one piece of what we hope is ahead for Sarabi.

Pending completion and passing of her health testing, we are planning Sarabi’s first litter for 2027. 🐾

I do currently have a stud selected that I’m very excited about. However, Sarabi is co-owned with her breeder, so the final pairing will be decided together, and her breeder may ultimately choose a different stud. Either way, the goal remains the same: a thoughtfully planned litter with health, temperament, structure, breed type, and preservation of the Basenji at the forefront.

This is still early planning, and I am not taking deposits or making puppy promises yet. Health testing comes first.

That said, I would love to start getting an idea of who may be interested. 👀💜

If you think you may be interested in a puppy from Sarabi’s future litter, comment below or send the page a private message. There is absolutely no commitment at this stage. I’d simply love to start talking with potential homes and getting to know people well before puppies are ever on the ground.

For now, we’re celebrating our Champion. Next comes health testing, continuing toward her Grand Championship, and hopefully an exciting new chapter in 2027. 🏆🐾💜
