Orion taught us a great deal. His sporting career and his wellbeing reminded us to always let health guide the decision to breed — or not.
In 2025 he was ranked #4 Basenji in Canada in lure coursing. Congratulations to him and his new family!

Orion developed crystal stones in his bladder (cystinuria). Because this is a genetic issue, we decided to neuter him and not to collect his semen. Orion will not have any offspring at our kennel.
