Day one had no plannes since the puppies had been moved to the next day due to too much enterence. Over 40 puppies was eneterd. So this day we could enjoy eachothers company and beeing with the dogs and having fun. We wached the beautiful girl   CH Kindubeams Beyond Belief of Naboo "Pepzi" (SunTribe's Naboo x Kingwanas Bahiyah).

First out was I and SunTribe's Silent Storm "Morgan" and SunTribe's Stargait Superior "Joker" handled by Linda this time. Joker and Morgan won the prize of HONOUR but was cut in the secound round. Congratulations to the winners!

Belt buckle made by mrs Damara Bolté

When I was young and first started out as a basenji owner I got that sickness that I just had to have everything that had something to do with basenjis. I also started to make different items of basenjis, ear piearcings, angels, brosches and so on. This was a long time ago and before e-bay so the only way to sell was the traditional way. Mia Löwbeer took some of my handmade stuff with her to USA and we agreed that for the money she got for it she would buy me american basenji stuff and bring back to Sweden!! One of the things Mia brought back was this wounderful belt buckle made by mrs Damara Bolté. I have a hard time remembering what year this was but I quess it could be in 1996. Maby Mia knows... Well this belt buckle has been missing for several years due to a lot of mooving around and new appartments and so on but the other week I found it in one of the boxes in the attic. Im so so very happy that I found my lovely belt buckle and since that day I use it every time I wear my jeans! Thank you Mia for this lovely gift and memory. I just love it!!! 

Sparkles - soon to be 10 weeks old and we realised that letting her go wasn't an option! She shows far too many qualitys to be sold. She will be kept home with us until we find a suitable family for breeding terms.

Yet another business trip on the schedule this time to the south and on my return home a was kindly offered to sleep over at the Kindubeams kennels. The pups are already 7½ weeks old and the girls are leaving on saturday so we took some photos of them. Thank you Liz for a very nice evening and a nice breakfast the next morning.

SunTribe's Mara Jade Skywalker

Today I visited Vanilla and company in Gothenbourg. We had a nice evening with a lovely dinner and some wine. When it was time to go to bed Vanilla decided that she would sleep in my bed always faithful to her breeder! Thank you Tuija for everything!! Hope too se you soon again!

Today it's the guys turn to leave the nest. Morgan is moving to Eskilstuna with mom Sanna and dad Gabor. His new dad is in the computor business so it suitable that Morgan got his name from the computor game, Silent Storm!

At the evening it was time for Joker to leave for Linköping and the Larsson-Kindland family. Joker was "ordered" some time ago so the family has waited and waited and now finally they could take him home. Joker got his name from the Si-Fi series Stargate but with a spelling twist changed to Stargait.

Tigra, one of her owners Elisabet Engström

Tigra left for her home with Pride Opala kennels in Deje, Sweden. She will be mooving in with 2 adult red/white basenjis so I think she will have alot of fun and be well cared for. Tigra will be co/owned by SunTribe and the Pride Opala kennels. Good luck Tigra!

Sessans has served her last day here att the SunTribe kennels. She and our son Victor really found eachother dearly and had a lot of fun together. You will now see some photos taken whae Victor and Princess were sharing some treats, and you know how 3-year olds can be...well the crackers has to be divided evenly... LoL!!

Princeass can "kiss" on the mouth on command and Victor thinks this is so much fun...

He "treats" her with a cracker as a reward for the "kiss"

Princess wants more but Victor shows her his empty hand...

While Princess is occupied searching Victors left hand for more sweets, Victor  is "treating" himself with some sweets from his right hand!!

The breeding contract for Princess has come to an end and she is now leaving the kennels to live a family life. Thank you to Sari and Janne for being such amazing co/owners and cooperative in anyway. Thank you for the nice flower in a pretty princess crown-pott. I will always remeber Princess with joy!

Well its not a favorite occupation to take a bath when you are a basenji. At least Nelson JR looks happy to finally be out of the tub.

Today I had a great day at the Kindubeams kennels. We have the same father in both our litters so comparing the pups is always interesting. Kindubeams had a lot of nice details on their puppies and it will be a joy too follow them through life. Thanks for a nice day and good luck too all the pups!

2009 was a year full och success and new friendships! First of all I must congratulate Mia and "Luke" Ch SunTribe's Luke Skywalker who once again did a marvellous job in the show rings this year! In april Luke finished his title and at the end of the year managed to get 3rd runner up at the Top Male Basenji-list for 2009. Only 6 shows entered + the specialty Show! That is great concidering! THANK YOU MIA & LUKE

Ch SunTribe's Chanton Champagne

Champion no 2 for this year came in august. Ch SunTribe's Chanton Champagne! Aka "Emil" lives on the island Gotland and is seldome shown so when I got he opportunity to bring Emil home and show him during the summer I didn't hesitate. 7 Shows in 6 weeks was the plann and keeping our fingers crossed that he would earn his title this summer! Well he only needed the 4 first shows to get his Swedish Champion-title!!!!! What a boy he is and so much fun we had! I must say thank you to Tuija from the Wild Pearl kennels for tagging along sith me on Emils little adventures. During the summer she was our greatest supporter and no 1 fan!

SLCCh SunTribe's Mara Jade Skywalker

Tuija and I did other stuff also this year. I got the opportunity to acompany Tuija and "Vanilla" SLCCh SunTribe's Mara Jade Skywalker too some LC fields. That was a new experience I must say. In a positive way! I cant be other than proud to see my breed "Vanilla" do such amazing heat after heat out on the field! WOW! "Vanilla" is always on top yera after year but this year she ended up as 5th runner up out of 22 compeeting basenjis! Great result considering she only participated in 4 runs.

The above 3 dogs, Ch SunTribe's Luke Skywalker, Ch SunTribe's Chanton Champagne and SLCCh SunTribe's Mara Jade Skywalker has under 2009 given TEAM SunTribe a 6th placing (out of 21) in the Breeder of the year list. And SLCCh SunTribe's Mara Jade Skywalker has alone marked TEAM SunTribe as 4th runner up at LC basenji of the year list. Many many thanks to you guys!!!
