Imported semen for our future breeding program
In 2014 we visited the van Grunsven kennel in Holland. In 2015 Rudy and Riky Smits agreed to export frozen semen to South Africa for use in the future breeding program of the Bassefied kennel. We are extremely honoured and excited to announce the arrival of Ure My Dandy van Grunsven and Just Jason van Grunsven in South Africa, in the form of frozen semen! We are hoping that the first puppies will be born in 2017.
A special word of thanks also to Fiona Powrie for her help and assistance in this process!

Cental South Africa Cluster Weekend championship shows in Bloemfontein

2x Best of Breed
2x Reserve Best of Breed
2x Challenge Certificates (CC)
5x Reserve Challenge Certificates (RCC)
The biggest achievement was when Frank was awarded Best in Groep 4th under Australian judge, Ms E Knox! We are so proud of our kids!

4 days of shows, 4 days of achievements!!!
From 29-31 May 2014 our hounds competed in 3 championship shows. Frank got 2 CC's, 2 RBOB's and 1 RCC. Hester was awarded her second CC and BOB! Gabija received 2 RCC's and at the FCI show on 1 June she was graded EXCELLENT and awarded the reserve CACIB!
Unfortunately Frank was the only male on Thursday's show, so the CC he obtained we will not count towards is championship status as we believe in finishing a dog under competition.

Tommy Hilfiger launch at the V & A Waterfront
On 17 April 2013 Hester and Rupert attended the launch of the new Tommy Hilfiger shop in the V & A Waterfront. Hester, being used to the show world, loved all the attention. She handled herself like a real show princess. Rupert was a bit more reserved and kept an eye on his daddy the whole time. We had so much fun!
