CH Jerlin's Songster Whelped October 29, 2004
Black/White
Song was bred by Linda Ehlers (in the photo) of Jerlin's Basenjis.
We have been looking for a nice black/white for many years and finally found him at the National Specialty in Kansas City, MO. After much discussion with Linda, we decided to bring him home to Wakan. We finished his championship and are totally DELIGHTED with this dog! Thank you Linda for letting us have him!

Thing (because she was such a cute little thing) finished her
AKC Championship on August 2, 2007.
She was WB, BW and BOS at the Potomac Hound Club
in June, 2007 winning a 5 point major!
Thing has outstanding conformation and movement. She is a delightful little dog and lots of fun to show (especially for such a high percentage African).

a double on Wakan GoodGrief CharlieBrown
FLASH!! Mojo has started his show career off with a little bang!
On September 15 & 16, 2007 at the Greater Clarksburg KC, Weston, WV shows
Mojo earned his first 3 single points going WD each day from the 6-9 month puppy class.
He earned his first major points (3pts) by going WD/BW at the
Middleburg Kennel Club on October 28, 2007. AND on November 9, 10, 11 at the Salisbury weekend - Friday he was WD/BW and won a Puppy Group I; WD on Saturday; WD/BW on Sunday.
We couldn't be happier with his performance, attitude and willingness to try
and do everything ask of him!
This puppy just keeps getting better.
WATCH FOR MOJO IN THE SHOWRING
Wakan GoodGrief CharlieBrown 50% African Nov 18, 1999 ~ Aug 27, 2007
(Avongara Zindiko Brushy Run, CDX x CH Akili's Opal Fields)
It is with very great sadness and tears that I have to announce that CharlieBrown
was put to sleep August 27, 2007. He was diagnosed with lymphoma after a 5 day stay in the veterinary hospital. This was apparently an extremely aggressive and fast moving form of cancer as he exhibited no outward symptoms before 3 weeks ago.
He will be terribly missed by all of us here. Some of his outstanding children are: Wakan Hope For Freedom, CH Akili's Tubby Raymond, CH Wakan Sugar Cookie, CH Wakan Mic Cookie, CH Itzyu The Red Baron, other children who have yet to enter the show ring; grand children: CH Wakan IfWishesWere Butterflies, currently being campaigned on the west coast Itzyu Walk The Line, on the east coast Wakan Iron Maiden to Marjani and Wakan Iron Mojo. Both of his parents are still living and healthy to date.
It is erroneously rumored that CharlieBrown moved wide in the rear.
He did NOT. He had excellent and correct movement.
To whoever won the woodburning trophy box by L. Jane Williams shown to the right--
this is CharlieBrown.
He truly enjoyed life, however short it was.
