Show Off Your Dog

Love the pics! The first one especially. Black and white photography can be so much more expressive than color in the right hands. Big fan.

Yes she is a very pretty baby!

I love the side to side picture! Beautiful dogs and pictures!

Great photos & story! I love the two "non Bs" running on the dock and Otis' land shots…and his "home" shot! Thanks for sharing.

Great picture! (and Thunderbird - little pictures are great for those of us with small screens so don't worry)

Glad to hear all went well and I'm sure she will settle in soon…looking forward to the pictures! I hope you can get some sleep soon!

Great photos. I like the collars too!

I LOVE the last photo especially, but all are great. Definitely seems like the b's took to it like ducks to water.:D:D

Regardless of how she looks - the fact is that having 2 bitches together is frequently a disaster - it will work until it doesn't. In a young puppy standing toeing out is not so bad because as they develop they will have more spring of rib and the feet will correct to front. Toeing in this badly at 2 will only get worse - judges that are hard core sighthound judges will put her to the end of the line with that much toeing in. (Pat Craig Trotter comes to mind) I like the neck shape better on this one - but again from the picture we are looking at just parts - how the dog uses what they have is the main thing and we can't tell that from a picture. Take your bitch out - learn what it's all about so that when you develope an eye not for what is available but for some lines that you like - you can find a nice male to join your house.

@crystalncody: Great pics! I also love the first one. He (?) has such soulful eyes… and is that a hint of a mohawk or just the way the light is reflecting? No mohawk going on. The red hairs just stand out more, I guess, in the photo.

:) What a gorgeous looking pup you have. I love the last pic of the first lot of photos.

@Elscodobermann: what a great picture of Hailey -she looks a real character. Oh believe me, she is! :eek::D

@Elscodobermann: Great pictures as always. There are plenty of people here in Scotland who are desperate to see Tillo in real life! if you do decide to visit i am sure all of us Scottish folk can help you to find dog friendly accomodation - and maybe arrange a basenji get-together somewhere. That sounds wonderful! I think it will be Scotland then for 2010 :) Looking forward to it already! :D Dog friendly accomodations are very welcome! :D

Good luck! Dukati…thanks for the thread. I agree that is it is very helpful to get input on your pup and know what you're working with. I try to get brutally honest opinions if I can but it's hard to get sometimes with people you know personally. I've been thinking about doing one like this with Zoni but I haven't been happy with any of the pictures I've taken yet. Just a slight difference in angle is enough to make them look off...particularly fronts. Good pictures are hard to take. For those who don't have Bob Cole's book, here is a link to an online version...albeit a very, very brief version (doesn't compare to the book), with a passing mention of the second thigh. For newbies to showing, I also highly recommend it...I've been studying it alot. http://www.basenjiclubofcanada.com/BCOC-BobCole.html

I've got to get one of those!! How adorable he is!!

That's a very sweet welcome!! So happy one of our own is home safe & sound :) I ditto the sentiments of the others with much much gratitude for both of your sacrifices. Here's hoping he can stay home for good :D

@AndrewnShango: HA! A tired Basenji is a good Basenji :-) Glad to see you here, Andrew. I missed your ppov and your handsome Shango.:)

Great!!! She looks like an angry gremlin :D

Great pictures. Cody is such a handsome boy. Love his face in that last picture! :)
