    To Bait or not to Bait, that is the Question...

    I've tried bait and no bait in the ring. I think bait works better for Logan, but not for me. He likes it and responds to it well, but as a new handler it's a pain in the butt. I know what I'm expected to do. Doing it once in the ring is hard. I get caught up in the minute and then forget what I'm supposed to do the next. I once stacked Logan backwards on the table. D'oh! Logan is SUPER food driven and he knows if I have cookies in my pocket. That's all he'll pay attention to. Jumping on the handler is frowned upon. Yes, I know training and time will cure it. Not there yet. Too many hobbies. Showing, breeding, MGBs, stereos, astronomy, motorcycles, family, friends, travel, house, etc. I need more time.

    @cashh - Just curious, did you have your dog excused? Typically it is because of being lame in the ring or not letting the judge to exam the dog?

    There were only 5 entered which is terrible considering it is a show with basenji classes on (not many of those around!!), i try to enter any that do put our classes on as if they dont get the entries they wont keep doing them which is a shame. But yeah, win some lose some. Tamu looked absolutely stunning and definately deserved his BOB. Maya was being her normal self, a complete princess! The show was held in an unheated cattle shed type thing, with a ring directly infront of the open door and it was bloomin' freezing! So she stood in the ring with her ears sideways (what she does when she is unhappy), shivering and looking very sullen lol. Madam does not like going anywhere unless its warm and sunny! But the other dogs managed to just get on with it and show so she was just being a princess about the whole situation i think lol.

    @saba: We have this award here in Australia. Obviously it works in a different manner, but it was intraduced for exactly the same reason the AKC is introducing it… I.E. To encourage the better dogs of the breed to remain in the ring. Actually, the GC in AKC shows has nothing to do with quality. It is solely for the revenue it can possibly generate. Quite frankly, I think it is rubbish. A dog can get a GC having NEVER won a Best of Breed! Seriously… if the dog is that good, it should at least win some BOBs. No, it may not be a dog being campaigned, but why should they get a higher title without attaining something golden ??? As it is, if a class dog wins breed, they can't count those points towards the GC, as they aren't yet finished. I agree with Lisa... why spend y money as point fodder for someone campaigning and wanting the numbers of rankings? Might as well use that money on me or my dogs elsewhere!
