  • @renaultf1:

    Also, I don't know…if your dog ISN'T AKC registered if you can bring your dog to a clinic at an AKC show. Usually only AKC registered dogs are allowed at AKC shows...

    Huh? Gosh been to many dog shows, not once did they ask me to show my dog's AKC papers. Even when I took dogs that were not SHOWING. The only time I have ever heard of restrictions is at benched shows, which are few and far between.

  • Ok perfect. and ok thank you debra. ill just try to take her anyways and see if i cant get it done. if not then i suppose ill just look around for a different place for her :)

  • Call them to ask and register. :)

  • @DebraDownSouth:

    Call them to ask and register. :)

    Ill look that up now and see if i cant get ahold of them :) Thank you so much for the help:)

  • didnt mean to post twice

  • I did take a non AKC registered dog to an AKC show to get an eye exam done several years ago. He got along with other dogs and was up-to-date on vaccines. All I did was walk him from the car to the exam area and back again. This was at the Muncie Kennel Club show where the Hoosier Basenji Club Specialty is held.

  • thank you. i will do that :)

    Is anyone going to the South Dakota dog Show? put on by Sioux Empire Kennel Club in Sioux falls, SD? Its October 29-31! Just curious!

  • i'm not. i really wanted to go a few years ago and see mt rushmore, but no one else entered that year. and now that Z is finished there is no reason to go.

    looks like there are no basenjis entered this year.

  • Oh that is too bad. But at least Z finished :) thats something to be proud of.

    DANG IT! there are NEVER Basenjis here :( I really wanted to g to meet some Basenji owners and showers and handlers so i could get some pointers and just talk with them. That is a bummer.

    I have a question. Can you enter a dog show if your dog is the only breed of dog in its class?

    Yes you can. You would enter the dog/bitch in the appropriate class and if the judge awards your dog winners and best of breed you would then go on to the group classes. AKC site has lots of information for beginners and dog showing

  • @misspodhradsky:

    I have a question. Can you enter a dog show if your dog is the only breed of dog in its class?

    absolutely. and there may be reasons to do so. however, in my case when I entered the SD shows, I needed points and could not justify the cost of travel (gas/hotel) for 0 points. If i lived there, i might would go anyway just for ring experience.

  • Thank you Tanza. I was very curious. ill have to check out AKC.

    Thank you AgileBasenji. Yes i do live here so it would just be for fun and for some experience. I dont blame you on the points tho because it would be alot of money to not get anything out of it.

    You will figure it out, the personality will tell you. It may just be me, but I like two syllable names, just input here for thought….:)

    @agilebasenji: about leaving the dog outside- It seems like, perhaps due to the current economy, there have been a lot of dogs "missing" lately. I'd be afraid to leave a cute little dog like a basenji out side by himself. Not an issue where I live.

    Good luck to you…I really mean that. :) One more thought on this... The most important people in my life are not just "yes men"...they can see when my judgment is clouded by emotion. We might not like what people have to say, but if you step back and look at comments objectively, you'll see that they are meant to help and to give a reality check. The senior members on this forum have HUGE EXPERIENCE...they have great advice, even if it hasn't always been what I've wanted to hear. Please...please...read lvoss' post and then read it again. To me, that is the clearest explanation as to what the danger is by rushing in.
