Mimi's show career started with a highly successful 2017 in the United Kingdom where she finished as the UK’s Top Basenji! Mimi is from the worldwide famous Faraoland kennel in Sweden and goes back to our old Australian lines (Hazhart). Needless to say she is something very special! Mimi has been sparingly shown in Australia but has had some fantastic wins including Runner-up Best in Show at the Hound Club of NSW in March 2018, and Best in Show at the Hound Club of WA in April 2018. She continues to take top awards including Best in Groups at Winter Festival (2024) and Western Classic (2020). Mimi - Number 1 Basenji in the United Kingdom for 2017 - 7 CC and 3 reserve CC - 2 x Group 3 placings at the famous Windsor Dog Show (1200+ hounds!) and Bournemouth Dog Show My favourite critiques from her time in the UK: "The Basenji, what a classy bitch this is! She took a while to settle and could be a bit naughty but she was well worth taking a little time with with. She has a lovely head with right amount of wrinkle, well set ears and that lovely inscrutable expression. finely built with long elegant neck, good length of leg with good front and topline, nice twist to her tail, she has lovely carriage on the move and moves with such style, another I could happily give the group too." Miss Ann Ingram - Group judge at Windsor 2017 "Third was the very beautiful and feminine Basenji bitch Ch. Faraoland Miss Flirtation, perfectly proportioned with lovely length of leg and a short body, she made an outstanding silhouette both standing and moving. Well shaped and chiseled head with very good wrinkles, well set hooded ears, long and crested neck, well set into shoulders, lovely topline and tailset, tightly curled and with a good shelf behind it. She is a particularly good mover form the side and from the front. Short and shiny coat, emphasizing her lovely overall quality." Espen Engh - Group judge at Bournemouth 2017 "Stewart's Ch Faraoland Miss Flirtation, gorgeous girl full of style and presence, correct bone, wonderful neck, clean shoulders, prefect topline, super front both standing and coming towards you, balanced by correct unexaggerated hind angulation, OK head type, ears a shade wide set. Quite breathtaking on the go-round, naturally proud head carriage combined with a fabulous free, long striding side gait with no wasted energy, gave me goose bumps watching her. CC and BOB, a real big ring Basenji and I was thrilled to see her take G3 in tough competition behind two of my favourite hounds" Simon Parsons - breed judge at Bournemouth 2017 "Stewart's Faraoland Miss Flirtation (Swed Imp). Lovely feminine balanced head with good wrinkle and hooded ears, good length of neck and well assembled front, very good feet and correct bone, liked her balanced and overall shape, high set tail and very good coat and condition. Moved with good stride and holds a firm outline. CC, BOB." Tom Johnston - breed judge at Manchester 2017 "Stewart's Ch Faroland Miss Flirtation [swe imp], lovely bitch, beautiful head, correct ears and eyes, good front, nice length of neck into correct layback of shoulders, level topline carried well, good tailset, moved like a dream.
