Rhumba is our feisty little devil girl.  She turned our home upside down on February 1, 1998 and has continued to "stir it up" ever since.  Of course, we wouldn't have it any other way.  We had hopes that Rhumba would earn her conformation title but we have not been in the show ring much. She did take a 4th place in the sweeps class and a 2nd place in the regular puppy bitch 6-9 month class at the BCOSW Specialty in 1998!  Next we tried her out on the coursing field. Rhumba loves to run and hunt but she seems more interested in hunting real rabbits than the little plastic bag we call the "bunny."  She earned her Junior Courser title and went on to compete in several ASFA field trials.  Rhumba was a speed demon on the field when she was focused but more often than not, she got bored and distracted on the field and would bother other dogs or simply stop running.  She earned all her placements and 58 pts toward her ASFA FCH title but alas, Rhumba's coursing career is over.  This little girl definitely has her own agenda!  She is an absolute doll.  She loves eveyone she meets, greeting people with a million and one tail wags and  rolling on her back and hiding her face in her paws.  There is not a heart Rhumba hasn't captured.  Oh, and did I mention?--Rhumba has the world's most kissable little head!

Where's that tail??

 

In 2000, I co-bred Rhumba with her breeder, Cecelia Wozniak ~ Land of Woz ~ and Rhumba gave birth to 2 little Basenji girls on December 5, 2000.  Visit the Xin puppies to see more on these darling little girls.
