Zayla's 2005
"Look" Litter

Gazelle Right

Zayla and her newborn pupsMzalia Basenjis are proud to announce the safe arrival of Zayla's 2005 litter, sired by our own handsome man Mzalia Texas Ranger.

In the early hours of 18th May, Zayla produced 5 very cute pups - 3 red & white girls, 1 tri girl and 1 tri boy. This is the first litter for both parents - and we were very excited about the arrival of our very first tris too!

In the ring they are known as:

bulletMzalia Look Sharp (tri boy)
bulletMzalia Look My Way (tri girl)
bulletMzalia Look at Me (r/w girl)
bulletMzalia Look Smart (r/w girl)
bulletMzalia Look Of Love (r/w girl)

Three of these kids have recently commenced their Show Careers, and are showing a lot of promise, with Class in Show, and Multiple Class in Group and Sweepstakes wins between them, including the large Baby Dog Sweep at the recent Royal Adelaide Show.

Please be sure to check back here to learn more about these kids.

Aus Ch Mzalia Look At MeAus Ch Mzalia Look At Me (Kimmy)
Fanconi DNA Linkage Tested: Probably Clear/Normal

2005/06 Spitz Breeds Club of SA
Spitz Puppy of the Year

A very stylish and elegant girl, Kimmy has been retained by Mzalia Basenjis.

Kimmy is a very loving and affectionate girl who just loves to be the centre of attention - hence her show name.

Some of her qualities include lovely quarters and proportions, good tail & tail set and a superfine coat.

Kimmy has made a wonderful start to her show career with a Baby Puppy in Show win, 2 Baby Puppy in Group wins, and making the final 8 in the All Breeds Baby Bitch Sweep at the Royal Adelaide Show. She is also a multiple Best of Breed and Class in Group winner, and recently became the 14th Australian Champion bred by Mzalia Basenjis.

Mzalia Look SharpMzalia Look Sharp (Luke)
Fanconi DNA Linkage Test: Both parents tested Probably Clear/Normal

Luke is our first ever tricolour basenji.

A solidly built boy, he is nicely proportioned and is already a good mover.

At home he is a very affectionate boy, and loves a good game - either with people or other dogs. He also loves making friends with the Judges at the shows.

Being a non-red has made it more difficult for Luke to win in the ring , but he can boast a couple of very impressive results including a big win at our largest All Breeds Show of the year - the Royal Adelaide Show, where he won the large All Breeds Baby Puppy Dog Sweepstakes. He also made the Final 6 in another large Baby Sweepstakes (30+ entries) in Victoria.

Sadly it has turned out that Luke is a recessive tri, and once it started to come out in his coat, we sadly had to retire him from the ring.

Luke is now the much loved companion of Chris and Allison here in South Australia

Mzalia Look My Way (nearly 5 months)Mzalia Look My Way (Wendy/Kali)
Fanconi DNA Linkage Test: Both parents tested Probably Clear/Normal

Wendy is a sweet, cheeky and very affectionate and loving youngster who lives in New South Wales with Christian and Nikki, who have renamed her "Kali". What a strange co-incidence to have two Kali's in the same litter!

Around the house Wendy was a real go-getter, and always in the middle of whatever action is taking place. In many ways she reminded us of her cousin Monica (Mzalia Caught in the Act) - she has a personality that is much larger than her own size.

Mzalia Look of Love (18 months)Mzalia Look OfLove (Kali)
Fanconi DNA Linkage Test: Both parents tested Probably Clear/Normal

Kali is a sweet and fun-loving youngster who lives in Western Australia with Julie, Max the Large Munsterlander and Jess the cat.

Kali is already proving to be a great ambassador for the breed, thoroughly enjoying her "meet and greet" sessions with the general public at the Royal Perth Show.

When she gets older Kali is set to be an all-round hound. She will be shown in the occasional confirmation show as a Baby, but as she gets older, her owner has plans to train young Kali for other activities such as tracking and obedience.

We are sure that Kali will love that!

Mzalia Look SmartMzalia Look Smart (Lady)
Fanconi DNA Linkage Test: Both parents tested Probably Clear/Normal

Lady was the most affectionate of all of the puppies in the litter - she way always the first to come over for a cuddle, and would always try and push her way in front of the other puppies to get as close to you as she could.

She also loved playing with tennis balls and other toys, and could entertain herself for hours at a time with these toys.

Lady lives in Queensland where he is the much loved companion of Nicole and her family.
