Pretty Chappell, in her very first show, was RWB at the first Copper State Basenji Club Specialty in Scottsdale today. In large part- I'm sure- because she was shown by her BFF, Natalie Iannuzo!! Thank you, Natalie, for your patience with our squiggly, wiggly girly. Special thanks to Joy Casselli for chauffeuring Chappell to AZ!

Chappell is~ SFF Bajoran Yasss Queen!

Crate training has begun for the Whodunits and they are ⭐️s!! Mama Kitty is an excellent role model.

At Steadfast Farm, we work really hard to develop a positive Conditioned Emotional Response (CER) to the crate for each puppy so that you don't have to. The puppies eat in their crates. They nap in their crates. They get the very best treats, meaty bones, long lasting chews and stuffed Kongs in their crates. By the time they leave us, we have built huge value into being crated. It will behoove you to build on our hard work. A bored Basenji and/or an unsupervised Basenji puppy left to his or her own devices will invariably make poor choices... to the detriment of your furniture, shoes and other belongings. Ask us how we know?!🫣

Repeat after me-- Management IS training. MANAGEMENT is training. Management is TRAINING. MANAGEMENT IS TRAINING. MANAGEMENT IS TRAINING!🎉
