After 2 years of planning, waiting and hoping, Freya, our beautiful new girl from Finland is finally here.

She came to live with us at the age of 4 months and settled in straight away. She has proved herself to be an exemplary brood bitch producing two beautiful litters so far. Definitely leader of the pack, an indipendent young lady who has everyone in their place!

Freya also has brains as well as beauty and has her Bronze, Silver and Gold Good Citizen Dog Scheme Awards.

She also gained enough points in just 12 months for her Show Certificate of Merit.

She made quite an entrance at Southern Counties Championship Show. This was her first show and not content with winning Best Puppy In Breed under judge Mr Johan Juslin, she also took the Reserve Bitch CC, earning herself her Stud Book Number. She was then short listed in the Puppy Group. Three weeks later she also won Best Puppy in breed under Liz Cartiledge at Blackpool Championship Show.
She continued to win her Puppy Bitch classes at Windsor and Leeds Championship Shows and also won the Puppy Bitch Stakes at Windsor, Bournemouth and WKC. At SKC in August, she not only won BPIB but also took Best Bitch and Best Of Breed under Mrs. Fran Mitchell, beating Sunny who won Best Dog.

Her first CC came at Richmond Championship Show in 2014 under International Judge Mr Rony Doedijns. Her second CC with Best of Breed came 12 months later, again at Richmond and this time under the Spitz Breed Specialist Mr David Cavill. Her third and crowning CC with Best of Breed again, was awarded at East of England Championship show in 2017 under Breed Specialist Mrs Sally Wallis of the Zande Basenjis Kennel. It was an immense honour to receive such an award from a true stalwart of the breed.

Since gaining her title of Champion she is now semi-retired. She finished on 3 CC's (two with BOB) and 8 RCC's.

Open (6, 2a) 1. Hi-Lite Bulldobas Wild Child of Memetuka CC/BOB. This Super-Mom should not have had to wait for her progeny to start hitting the headlines before getting her own crowning CC, although I am delighted that fell to me to deliver it! She's a soundly constructed, square bitch with well sprung ribs, good tuck, correct angulation fore and rear, well laid shoulders. Small ears, super head shape, dark eyes. Moved true on a slack lead.

It could not have been a worse day for basenjis - wet, cold and windy and on top of that we had a small square ring with holes and puddles! It was clear to see that they were not amused - the bitches were more 'picky' than the dogs, avoiding the deep wet areas with a look of utter distain!

1, BP, Gaskell's Hi-Lite Bulldobas Wild Child Of Memetuka, red/white, the ultimate showgirl at the tender age of 6 months, lovely puppy, gorgeous head, best of expression, handled to advantage to look her very best standing and moving. I liked her body and proportions, excellent coat. Shade close behind but full of promise.

Hi-Lite Bulldobas Wild Child Of Memetuka, red/white quality exhibit with plenty to admire. Feminine well proportioned head with a correct eye and expression. Neat well placed ears finished off with good wrinkle. She has a well defined crest which flows into a clean front assembly. Topline is correct which in turn leads to a well set tight tail. Her rear angles are good with plenty of shelf. Moved out with style on the out and back holding her outline on the go around. Presentation was excellent. Today the RCC.
