Ch. Arubmec’s Overdrive To My-Tym (Kibushi Spellbinder-Niger x Ch. Arubmec’s Precious Thisbe) Whelped: 12/14/92 - Now: 17 Years 1 Mo. Bred by: Pat Cembura In his specials days, Turbo was ranked in the Top 10. He is also a multiple group winner in US and Canada. Turbo has produced specialty and group winning off spring. Winner of the 1995 Evergreen Basenji Club Specialty under Breeder/Judge: Margaret Robertson with an entry of 93. Award of Merit winner at the BCOA National in October 2007 at the young age of 15, and he had a blast doing it. During his specials career he was handled exclusively by his best friend Don Rogers. Not only was there a special connection between these two, but Turbo delighted in giving Don some of the most embarrassing moments of his life. At 17 Turbo is still getting into trouble and making us laugh. Though pretty deaf and unsteady on his feet, when he shifts into second gear he looks like the show dog he has always been.
