This is Andy, Australian BIS, RUBIS, Gr. Ch. American MBIF Dual Champion Suddanly On The Cover Of GQ, SC, ET.  Andy went to Australia as a puppy.  Shortly after getting out of quarantine, he became the first brindle Best In Show winner.  He is also the only brindle to earn a royal challenge, so far.  He has multiple group wins in Australia, and also earned his Endurance Dog title by completing a 10K.  When he had done all he could do Down Under, at 7 1/2, he repatriated to the USA and started all over.  In about 5 months he had earned his dual championship, in the ring and on the field, with 2 Best in Fields.  He is still running strong and working on his ASFA Veteran FCh and his FCh.  Andy's children: Sin, Nadra, Breeze and Grace can be found in the ring and on the field.  Andy is available to approved ladies.  He will be 10  years old in December.  Health clearences available on request. Tested probably clear of Fanconis. Andy will have more puppies this year.

She is a girl that just wants to have fun. Petter, her son, is beginning his show career in Sweden, and his sisters will soon be shown in the US.  TC moved to the West Coast last year, and had a beautiful litter with Ch. Sherwood In The Nick of Time, FCh. Her son, Sawyer, came home to NC and Bella, his sister is staying with Mom in CA with Deb and Lisa Voss. Bella started her show career with 5 points and a major before the age of 7 months!
TC is 7 and intends to devote this year to racing, coursing and showing.

"Teddy" DC Sunbird Suddanly Stetson, FCh, SC  Teddy is a healthy, active 7 year old and a proven stud.  He still burns up the coursing field and he is definitely the sweetest teddy bear ever.  He currently resides in Petersbury, with Terry Ammons.  He tested probably clear of Fanconis, and is available to approved ladies.  Other health information available on request. Teddy has 2 litters coming this year.

 Most recently, at the Greensboro, NC shows this November, Sin took BOB, BOW both days!  It was a great weekend!  On Saturday, half-sister Breeze, took RWB, also.

 Sin placed 3rd in the Open Brindle class at the BCOA National Specialty held in KY in September.

 Although bored with the whole show scene, we are very proud of Andy's 2nd place in the BCOA National Specialty 9-11 year old Veterans Sweepstakes in KY in September.  It was a very impressive class of vets.

 Mercedes at a vital almost 8, took 4th in the Veteran class in the ASFA field trial at the BCOA National Specialty in KY in September.  She also placed a very respectable 3rd in the 7-9 year old Veteran Sweeps!  

 Viv was Suddanly's big winner at the BCOA National Specialty in KY this September.  She took 2nd in the Open Black Tan and White class and NBQ in the ASFA field trial open class.  We are very proud of her.

 In KY in September, Chase, DC Sunbird Suddanly Lady's Man, SC, FCh ran well to take 3rd in the  BCOA National Specialty ASFA trial Veteran's class. He then went on to take 2nd in the Field Trial Class at the show. Chase resides with his co-owner, Carolyn Gerics, Sunbird Basenjis. Chase will be 7 this year.

 Shown at nearly 9, in 2005, this is Savvy.  Savvy went to Missouri to chiropractic school with me and kept me sane for almost 4 years.  While there, she produced my most "famous" basenji, Andy.  I will always miss
FC Cynosure Suddanly hi-Fashion, SC, FCh, VFCh.

"Dance"  Karah's Gae Legato, FCh, TT, CGC.  My first basenji.  Dance was trained in agility, tracking and obedience, too, but she did not care for titles.  She would stop performing as soon as we got close to earning the title!  She taught me so much.  She died 2 weeks short of her 17th birthday and I'll always miss her.

"Vito"  The half African #1 ASFA Basenji in 1992. 5 Best inField/Best in Event wins!  First brindle to earn an LCM. Founder of our brindle lines.

"Sergio" Suddanly Mysterious Stranger, LCM 9 Best in Field/Best in Event wins.  Amazing for a basenji! Sergio is behind most of our present black and white basenjis. 

"Chance" Am. Can. Ch. Suddanly Bets Ona Lady's Man, SC, FCh. Father to TC, Lady, Chase, and grandfather to Bella, Sawyer, Chena and Piper.  We expect great things out of these kids!   Chance now lives in Alberta, Canada.  He is producing Canadian champion offspring in the cold North!  Good thing he gets to snuggle in bed every night to keep warm!
