- Audrey was on lease for the 2008 breeding season to Susan Smith of NBN (Naughty-By-Nature) Basenjis in Texas and was bred to Ch. Bakari Burgundy Blitz, J.C. "Yodel" with puppies who placed consistently at the 2009 BCOA National and are pointed towards their CH.
- Audrey then traveled to Bratislava for the 2009 World Show where she was awarded second best bitch in competition at nearly six years of age!
- She then gave a litter to my friend, Linda Carlson of Zahleka Basenjis in Sweden, and those puppies are now being shown incredibly successfully throughout Europe!
- In the U.S, Audrey has been inducted into the Basenji Club of America Brood Bitch Honor Roll and many of her puppies in Europe have earned their respective countries' titles as well.
- Newsflash: September 2011 - Judged by Debbie Hauri (Mata Hauri Basenjis) Audrey was awarded BEST VETERAN IN SWEEPSTAKES at the BCOA National Specialty Show over equally amazing and legendary competition and THEN...
Three days later she was awarded BEST VETERAN IN SHOW and the Second Award of Merit at the BCOA National Specialty Show judged by Lisa Tyler (Hounds of Shernazar). Many thanks to each of these esteemed breeder-judges for the honor of these amazing wins! Audrey still LOVES to show!!! - Many thanks to Pat Marshall (Berimo Basenjis) for finishing off Audrey's Grand Championship title while Susan's broken ankle was in a boot!
