Nicky is our first basenji. He was born December
20, 1997 at Sherwood Basenjis in Georgia, and
came to live with us in May 1998. He has taught us
many things about basenjis and stole our hearts.
Nicky is first and foremost our pet
and companion. He loves to go
camping and as long as he doesn't
have to go near the water he thinks
the beach is a great place to visit. He
is an expert snuggler and never talks
through your favorite shows.
When we first got Nicky we had
never owned a purebred dog
before and wanted to try out the
different activities. We showed
Nicky at his first match when he
was 17 months old and started
showing him in October of 1999.
Nicky finished his championship
on January 10, 2004. Thank you,
Pat Fragassi for handling him to
both his majors. He has helped
me to learn many things about
showing a dog.
Nicky also introduced us to lure coursing
and what an introduction. Nicky has
earned his AKC and ASFA field
championships and an ASFA Lure Courser
of Merit award. He was tied for #3 in AKC
lure coursing for 2000 and tied for #4 in
ASFA coursing the same year. He loves to
run and has also tried out LGRA and
NOTRA racing. At 14 years old Nicky still
loves to run but has retired from lure
coursing but still does sprint racing
occassionally.
