Avongara Bahati Tena Call name: "Louie" AKC number HM678202-02 Sex: Male Color: Saddle Black, Tan & White Date of Birth: December 19, 1996 Sire: Avongara Bahati Nasibu Dam: Avongara N'Gola   Breeder: Wilma P. Bauer Owner: Melba J. Williams   Health testing and history: OFA-Hips: BJ-1658E102M-NOPI. Date of Death: Cause of Death: Comments: A very square dog – unusually so for a dog from pure 1990 stock breeding. At two years old he still lacks substance. Angulation is not as good as his brothers. Interesting coat pattern in that there was more black when he was younger. Rather a noisy dog like his dad and brothers. As Louie is nearing three years old, he has finally started to fill out and develop more body. His movement coming and going has also improved. Additionally the black saddle has continued to thin out so that most of the saddle is now more like a sable, that is the black hairs are sparse. Whether he is genetically a saddle tri pattern or a sable is unknown.

Above and below, Louie about 1 1/2 years old Louie at 5 months
