Kasenyi
"Kasenyi" - "Libra" originally
These dogs were imported with a shipment of baby gorillas. Four Basenjis arrived but two were lost sight of. The two who became Kindu and Kasenyi were exhibited "For Exhibition Only" at the Westminster Kennel Club show in 1942. Being a rather different type than the Americans were used to, they were not well accepted. Finally Mrs. Taaffe purchased and renamed them.

Offspring. This was the first registered litter for these two although it is thought there were two other litters which were not registered. Males: Kinsuto, Kintoto, Kindulo and Am. Ch. Kingolo - Female: Kasenyo. Kindulo was bred from in Hawaii. Kingolo was bred to Kasenyo with seven puppies resulting. A number of these where shown to their championships. Kingolo was eventually exported to Ireland. Mr. and Mrs. Williams, Ireland, provided this description in Veronica Tudor-Williams 1976 book: "Kingolo is a very sound dog, with excellent hindquarters and a tight double curl tail. Although he is eight years old, he still retains his fine head and expression and has no tendency to cheekiness. His eye is very dark, he has a coal black nose and a superfine coat of a lovely deep red; his legs and feet are good, and so is his temperament. To be critical, his faults are that he could be smaller cast in head and body, with a more level topline, and his 'Chelsea bun' of a tail would be perfect if it were set a little higher."
