26.06: We have just returned from shows in Sweden. Firstly to Jönköping Int. with mixed results. Unfortunately Elvis had a very poor encounter with the table the first day, so we let him be shown on the ground the rest of the days, which he is totally fine with. Scary how small incidents can leave great marks in young puppies.
After the trip to Jönköping, we drove all the way to the Swedish Basenji Speciality in Degeberga, for the breed specialist Mr. Jon Curby
.
Krona
 (Kingwanas Glory Of The Spotlight) 2nd in bitches 6-9 months (15 entered) and 3rd best bitch (20 puppy bitches). Mille ( N u Ch Kingwanas Entertaining Story) 3rd in open with ck. Elvis (Kingwanas Groovy Maguire) did a nice job, but wasn't placed in the huge class.

In the speciality classes, Mille won best eyes (her daughter Krona won best eyes at the Norwegian speciality this year) she also won 2nd best head (the last time she showed for Jon Curby, she won best head) and finally among the 3 best in best ears! Elvis won best black/white coat/color, and Krona was among the top 3 in best wrinkles :-)
Pictures can be seen HERE.

13.06: At a show in Røros, Krona (Kingwanas Glory Of The Spotlight) became BOB and BIG-3 in  competiton with 14 other pups in the group under judge Marianne Holmli with a fantastic critique.

I only showed sweet
Kee-Kee, and she was 2nd best bitch with Ck, beaten by a cute tricolor "Chewa".
Kee was unfortunatley a bit too thin at the time, and not in her best shape as she had a tummy-ache. But she behaved beautifully as ever. Congratulations to Mari Kendall for BOS, and Wenche and Baard with Aboteres Sharim for BOB. Well done!
It was also supernice to meet gorgeous
Roxy with owner Annika!
Now we are just very excited about our speciality in two weeks!!!

Puppies from three different  litters playing and having fun!


Doberguard's Coconut Clown- a BEAUTIFUL puppy! Sindre with the puppies at right.


06.02:
Now we only have 4 puppies left here. It is both a bit sad, and a bit nice at the same time. Having 11 puppies (and a baby) at once was LOADS of hard work, but every little yodel, every little wagging tail, every cute face, every excited and content new owner makes it ALL worth while! It is lovely getting report that all the pups that's left has settled nicely in their new homes. The pups that are still here at the moment are: Foxy (from Lunas litter). She will be picked up this monday, while The General and Sahara will leave for their homes monday the 15th. Due to change of plans, the handsome GROOVY is still looking for a loving home of his own. This boy is very special, and is very handsome too! He should be suitable for a show home. We might be interested in co-ownership if the right home appears.

Kingwanas Groovy Maguire- looking for a new home!

We have also gotten a greeting from Kasko in his new home!

One of our visitors this weekend, Marit Lilleeng, has shared these lovely phptos she took. A small selcetion of "group pics" can be seen here.
There are also various pics of ALL the puppies (taken by Marit) on their individual pages. Thank you so much, Marit!


Anette serves as a puppy bed.


Puppy playtime


Dennis- a Monster from above?? *lol* He is WONDERFUL with the pups.


Billy doesn't look a tad better, but even he is SUCH a great "foster dad", letting the pups climb all over his big coat.


I am stronger than you!


Let's carry this Teddy over there and kill him, brother!





Dennis tries to stand nicely for a treat, Mille tries to sit nicely, and Kasko is just in the way.

25.01: We have had some puppy buyers visiting again, and it is always so nice. I am (as I've said previously) overwhelmed with the VERY nice families offering their home and love for our babies. I am certain they will all go to the best care and recieve (and give) plenty of love.
I have recieved some pics from one of the last visitors, Anette Vindvik,
You can see her photos HERE.

A small selection:

22.01: 6 week photos of the G-litter has been posted. We have also gotten the Fanconi test results for this litter. There were more carriers then we hoped for, but it is good to know no one will get affected (as we knew before the breeding occured).
The result (G-Litter):

Red Boy: Clear
Black Boy 1: Indeterminent between clear/carrier
Black Boy 2: Carrier
Red girl 1: Indeterminent between clear/ carrier
Red girl 2: Carrier
Black girl: Carrier

Some of the puppies owners has been published. The rest will be published/decided on Sunday or early next wee
Herewith are some pics of all 11 puppies:

New pics of the F-litter has been posted! Having 11 puppies at this age is great fun. And LOADS of work. Not only do they produce massive amounts of *youknowwhat* but they also demand individual cuddeling and training- which they all get, keeping us occupied pretty much all day :-) It is worth it when you see the wagging tails, the ears rolled back, the tiny little licking tongue not to mention PUPPY YODELS!
Pile of puppies:

How many can you see?

17.01:
In Letohallen this weekend Kee-Kee (Doberguard's Master Key To Kingwana) was BOB on Saturday under judge Denis Kuzelj. She was picked out in the "semi-finals" (top 6 ) in the group, but not placed among the top 4.
On Sunday, she was 2nd best bitch with CC.
 Co-owner Astrid handled her both days. Well done, girls!!

Astrid with her Kee-Kee!

5 week photos of the G-litter has been posted.

14.01:
The two litters has been allowed to meet, and they just love to play together!
I have made two videos of the litters:
Video of Sindre with the puppies (and Sindre walking!).
Video of both litters playing together!

New pictures has been posted of the F-litter. All the puppies have now been preliminary booked to very good and loving homes. I must say I feel very blessed with all of our puppy buyers, who all seem to truly understand the breed and seem ready to offer them truly wonderful homes. It makes us as breeders feel the burden of having to see all of our "babies" go so much easier :-)
It is a real puzzle placing 11 different puppies to the right home, so there might still be changes.
Many are going out in the show ring, and all are going to be highly beloved family members!
 If you are looking for puppies, I highly recommend kennel Bushongo and kennel Doberguard, who currently have available puppies.

Oh, and I just have to share this picture of Sindre and Mille playing.

A new photoshoot of Milles litter has been posted today.I tried to stack them, but they are still too young. I did take some "free- stacked" photos, though.
We have had  some puppybyers on visit, and it is always so nice to have them over! The puppies love to climb all over them! Ihave also posted some "fun-pics" from Lunas litter.

Gunn with her lap full of Lunas babies. One of the girls will follow her home in about a month.

New pics has been posted of the F-litter. They are just soo cute now! The ears are starting to get up, as are the tails. They are much more social, and wag their little tail as I walk in...
Milles litter are also wagging their little tails. I love to see the little differences between the litters. Milles litter talk much more then Lunas litter. Lunas litter are more active at the moment, but that is only natural as they are older. Pictures of Milles liter will be posted in a few days.

Playing with Sindre. They all LOVE it!

01.01:
We start the new year with videos of both litters:
Lunas litter 0-3 weeks
Milles litter 0-3 weeks
