Portrait by Dave Thompson
(Allie is shown here with her human mother, Debbie)

Allie (Ch Berimo Signet Somewhere N Time, JC) is a purebred Basenji who came to live with the Thompsons when she was 1-1/2 years old.  Allie originally lived in Texas and came to Illinois in May of 1997.   Allie is a Champion show dog in Conformation and also holds a Junior Courser title for lure coursing.  In Denver at the Basenji National Specialty of 1997, she won first place in Open Bitch-Black and White.  After competing for awhile as a Special, Allie finally retired from showing after the Arizona specialty in 1999, although she occasionally competes now in the Veterans class.  She is still a competitive racer and was the FIRST Basenji ever to earn BOTH racing titles, an ORC (Oval Racing Champion) and a GRC (Gazehound Racing Champion).  Allie's favorite color is pink and she often can be seen wearing a pink collar with her pink sweater or pink coat.
