Ch. Stilwell's Ben Hur, SC, LCM
Ch. Betsy Ross Flag A Flyin, F.Ch. x Stilwell's Silky Sue, F.Ch.
Dec. 23, 1986 - May 21, 2002
Bennie is the one and only basenji to ever win Best in Field at the ASFA (American Sighthound Field Association) International Invitational, and was the #1 ASFA Top Ten basenji in 1989.
In 2002, Bennie was the first basenji to be inducted into the ASFA Hall of Fame.

Bennie's Lure Coursing Record speaks for itself!
Bennie was the Stromberg's first Basenji and their first experience with lure coursing.  Bennie completed his ASFA Field Champion title undefeated, and winning Best in Field the day he finished.  

Bennie went on to earn his LCM title.  Bennie's best performances were when he ran for Best in Field.  That's when he kicked into 'Overdrive' and was a sight to behold!!

Bennie was HA clear, stripped clear for Fanconi, no PRA, PPM or coloboma.  
Bennie crossed the Rainbow Bridge at 15 1/2 years of age.  He went into sudden liver failure within two weeks he left us to chase sky bunnies.  Bennie was one of a kind and he will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
Stilwell's Sweet Sunshine, LCM 2
This is Sunshine, aka Sunny

Sunny has enjoyed a long, illustrious coursing career.  As with the Generals, she had her toughest competition with her brother and sister, Bennie and Midge.  

Sunshine finished #3 ASFA Top Ten in 1989 and #3 ASFA Top Ten in 1990.  Sunshine finished her LCM 2 title at the age of 8 and still loves to run.  She is currently working on her LCM 3

December 31, 2002, at age 16, Sunny suffered a devastating stroke and crossed the Rainbow Bridge.
Sunny was HA clear, no PRA or coloboma, and continued to strip clear monthly for Fanconi up to the week before she died. 

Ch. Bubalak First Choice, LCM - Midge
Ch. Betsy Ross Flag A Flyin, F.Ch x Stilwell's Silky Sue, F.Ch.
Midge was Bennie & Sunny's sister and Running Mate.  These three basenjis were virtually unbeatable on the field and were a thrill to watch run.  

Midge belonged to Mary DeWhitt of Bubalak Basenjis.  

Midge has been sorely missed by all who knew her since her death by a freak accident.
HAI AARI THEO CASTASHADOW, LCM2
When you're hot you're hot!
This is Theo, Tirzah's Mom.  Theo is owned by Jim and Joline Stromberg.  ace33@flash.net

Theo was the #1 ASFA Top Ten Basenji in 1991.

She is one fast little girl.

In addition to her speed, most noteworthy of Theo's coursing style are her explosive turns.  

Twenty seven months after Theo's first lure coursing field trial she had earned an ASFA Field Championship, LCM, LCM2, 1991 #1 ASFA Top  Ten Basenji, Double BOB at 1991 ASFA International Invitational, twenty two total Best of Breeds, and enough Bowen Points to place her #8 Basenji on the list of ASFA All-Time Lure Coursing Sighthounds.
