A Little About
Luke...
Say hello to Luke - a very handsome son of Ranger (Mzalia Texas Ranger) and Zayla (Aus Ch Wazazi Tailord By Virtue).
Luke is the first tricolour basenji that we have had, and we were delighted to be able to show him.
Luke has a lot of qualities that we really like including:
 | nice dark eyes |
| lovely high ear set with well hooded ears |
| good topline |
| excellent length of forearm |
| lovely proportions |
| masculine head with beautiful expression and fine wrinkle |
| effortless, fluid movement |
Luke is a very sweet and affectionate boy who is a delight to be around. When you get home from work, he greets you with a big smile, "flat" ears, and a madly wagging tail. He also adores cuddles and loves making new human and canine friends at the dog shows.
He is now the much loved companion of Chris and Allison here in South Australia.
About Luke's parents...
Sire:
Mzalia Texas Ranger...
Fanconi DNA Linkage Test: Probably Clear/Normal
Ranger is a handsome, masculine boy from the first litter of our foundation bitch Aus Ch Eilsta Qwyt Kutani, and Aus Ch Baagna Tiz Wundaful - a very successful sire from limited opportunities at stud.
Ranger only had a short career in the show ring due to injury, but he was very successful during that time. Some of the major awards he won included Best of Breeds, Classes in Group, a Runner-up in Group, Sweepstakes wins and placings, and he was Opposite Baby Puppy in Show at the 1999 Basenji Club of NSW Specialty.
Ranger is a litter brother to the the Best in Show winner Aus Ch Mzalia Texas Gunfighter (now a very successful sire in his own right) and to the multiple Best in Group and multiple All Breeds and Specialty Class in Show winner Aus Ch Mzalia Texas Cheerleader, herself a producer of champions and Best in Show winning progeny.
Ranger is the sire of two litters of pups to date, and we are very pleased with the type of pups he is producing. One of his daughters from his first litter is an Australian Champion and was the 2005/06 Spitz Breeds Club of SA "Spitz Puppy of the Year".
Puppies from his second litter born in 2006 are already Class in Group winners.

Dam:
Aus Ch Wazazi Tailord By Virtue...
Fanconi DNA Linkage Test: Probably Clear/Normal
Zayla is a lovely typey bitch with a powerfully muscular physique. She is a real athlete - a fast runner with the ability to quickly change direction when required.
Zayla has a pedigree full of wonderful Show Ring performers and successful producers. Her sire is a multiple Best in Group winner, and her dam is a litter sister to the successful show dog and sire Int Ch Wazazi Grand Crusader, who resides in Finland, and has top winning progeny in Europe and Canada.
Zayla was never a dog who enjoyed showing very much, but her results include a Class in Show win, and consistent results at Breed Specialties, including 2nd in the Open Bitch Class at the 2005 Basenji Club of Victoria Specialty, sandwiched between 2 RuBISS winning bitches.
Zayla is the dam of two litters so far, and each time she has given us elegant pups of lovely breed type with excellent temperaments. One of her daughters is an Australian Champion and was the 2005/06 Spitz Breeds Club of SA "Spitz Puppy of the Year".
Zayla's second litter was born in June 2007, and has already produced a Class in Show winner and multiple Class in Group winners in Australia and Scandinavia.
