SunDiata Dahabu Firimbi "Firbi"

Firbi -- June 2005

Firbi is a dream come true for me!  He is 1/4 "new" African stock and very tightly linebred on the old, healthy SunDiata line.  In researching pedigrees, I found that most of my dogs carried the SunDiata lines, but several generations back.  I've always admired the "classic" style of basenji that the SunDiata dogs embody, and the outstanding health found in their pedigrees.  I've also been following the dogs descended from African imports of the late '80s with great interest.  I think they have a lot to offer in terms of genetic diversity and health.  Firbi is everything I wanted in a wonderful little package!   And what's in a name, you ask?  Well, "Dahabu Firimbi" is Swahili for Gold Flute.   I thought this was a perfect way to honor both his African heritage, and his grandma, Goldie (SunDiata Sashalia Gold Flute). Firbi is pointed and has a major reserve in only a handful of shows.  He also won Best in Match over an entry of 100+ dogs at the MMKC show last year.  We are working at getting Firbi back out to finish his championship.   Firbi has two litters on the ground and his third litter is due later this year.  So far, only two of his kids have been shown and both of them are pointed in very limited showing.  Three more of these kids will be hitting the show ring in late 2007/early 2008.  Stay tuned for updates!  To see Firbi's kids, click here.
