Our Philosophy
Our commitment to the breed is founded on three key principles.
Health
Our commitment begins with health. All our breeding dogs are fully health-tested for common Basenji conditions to ensure the best possible start for every puppy.
Temperament
We raise our puppies in our home, providing crucial early socialisation to develop the confident, intelligent, and inquisitive character the Basenji is known for.
Conformation
We breed with a deep respect for the Basenji standard, striving for dogs that are not only beautiful but also possess the natural grace and structure of the breed.
Upcoming Litters
We are planning a litter for late 2025. Please visit our Puppies page to learn more about our process and philosophy.
