Tamsala Basenjis

Where health testing and excellent temperament are of equal importance.


Where are we?

I live with Betty and Keith Merrick, having worked for them managing their boarding kennels, over the last 23 years, and having known them both since I came to Australia back in 1968.






We are on a beautiful 50 acre property, high on the side of the hill, overlooking the spectacular Kiewa Valley, in North -eastern Victoria, in Australia.

Betty has Birman and Ragdoll cats, and has previously bred West Highland White Terriers for over 40 years.She has two Westies now as pets. Laddie and Katie run with several of my Basenjis - yes Basenjis do get on with other breeds of dogs. Over the years I have seen some rather "interesting" combinations amongst my puppy owners!!
