JATO BASENJIS - Click here to visit our Basenjis. . .

We began in Basenjis in 1974 with a little dog that was to be my companion post-divorce.  Rameses Konde' of Pongara, CD finished his title after two years of training, and was High-Scoring Basenji at the 1976 BCOA Western Specialty (of course he was the only Basenji entered in the classes at that show - but he did have to qualify)!

Margaret Sommer of Rameses Basenjis of VII introduced us to the show ring with a co-ownership of Kasha's Black Dynamo.  Unfortunately those lines were not successful and we headed in a different direction. 

Russell Hendren of Asari Basenjis shared with Sandy the ownership of Ch. Asari's Ntare, SOM.  He presented us with descendants that had lovely type, beautiful heads, great temperament . . . . and a scream that could shatter glass. 

Even now that lovely voice can be heard in Basenji households around the country.  Occasionally we will spot a wrinkled head reminiscent of Ntari's. . .
