GCH DRAGONETE ITAPUCA At my first Basenji National I was just a baby! Mom and Pop took me home and I’ve been living the high life ever since. I’m an AKC champion and have my junior coursing title! I’ve won multiple Best of Breed ribbons and group placements— including Best of Breed at the 2012 Eukanuba National Championship. I finished in the 2013 Top 20 All-Breed and earned a Bronze Grand Championship. I love America. I love to show. And I am ready for Nationals! See you soon! See you all at the National!
