CH JUMOKE QUITA DREAM OF INDIA

 India is the first female Basenji I have ever owned. I purchases her from Bryan and Laurie Gregory (www.jumoke.com)) as a puppy in February 2002. She is definitely the Queen of the household and probably a little spoiled too. The term 'aloof with strangers' does not apply to Indy, she is very affectionate with anybody that will pay attention to her. She is not however, thrilled with strange dogs - especially other female Basenjis. For this reason India is easily distracted in the show ring and not much of a showman. It is a good thing India has such wonderful movement and structure, because she wasn't going to impress most judges with her lack of enthusiasm in the show ring. Getting India's singles was easy. The majors were the problem since there are limited majors my area during the summer Despite this she received her first major at the Willamette Valley Basenji Club Specialty, going Best Opp. over 39 other bitches (9 of them being specials). The next weekend she was reserve to 55 bitches at the Evergreen Basenji Club Specialty. I was 7 months pregnant at the time and stopped showing for a time after that show. India finally finished her Championship during the weekend of the Hoosier Basenji Club Specialty in 2006.  Now she gets to stay home and be a lap and trail dog.

India's favorite pastimes are eating, bossing Texas around, eating, cuddling, and eating. We have found India to be a very trainable dog as long as we have treats. Without the food she looks at us like we are crazy, but will sometimes humor us and perform anyway. She is however the best horse riding companion we have ever owned. I have never met a more affectionate dog then our little Indy.
