 Our Condolences to:

Lotte & Ray Hotaling’s Mikey, is now resting next to Bingo. “All dogs are special, but Mikey was ultra-special, he was an incredibly pure spirit, full of fun his whole life, the quintessential clown.

 TALLY HO WILMA, TALLY HO 

It was in lure coursing & the Africans that Wilma Bauer found her passion.  The contributions of Avongara Imba Teena who she bred, resonates in our pedigrees today. It seems that almost sheer force of will she thrust basenjis into the lure coursing arena.  This sport was her calling. 

We’ll all remember her, “as always.”
