    Yep, he's a Basenji! Even our almost 12 year old, who hasn't been in a ring in years and has cataracts so he doesn't see too well, still stacks himself up neatly in show stack if I put my hand in my right pocket. Why is it that they promptly 'forget' so many things they're supposed to do, and yet manage to remember things like that?

  • He's a superstar Diva now :D
    Congratulations Ayo

  • Looking good/ I love all his ribbons and medals. Congratulations again.

    Terry that is too funny, is that Tex you are talking about?

  • Holy moly, Ayo. Congratulations on the huge haul!

  • Great pics! He looks super with all his ribbons!

  • Yes, Petra, it's the Tex-man!

  • Thanks everyone, he does look great doesn't he?… It was lots of fun!!!!!!. Now we have a new addition to the household. I picked up a puppy on Monday that came up to us during our walk. One of many that we come across almost everyday here. When you live in a place like Santo Domingo, which has hundreds of stray dogs roaming the streets you desensitize, you can't help them all! But this time I just couldn't help it!! She was so cute and helpless and the is a place here called doggie house where they take stray dogs and try to find them homes, like a rescue kennel place but I went and they are currently full. So...... She at home for now, ayo loves her and I will try to find her a loving home, but it is not easy,!!!!

  • I took her to te vet, and she got all hershots and she is perfectly healthy, I will post pictures soon!!! You should see the wayshe eats!! She swallows 2 cups of kibble in three seconds!!! , and here is Ayo, the spoiled brat, who just looks at the food, uninterested!!!

    re: "A sanctioned match is important though, I believe new clubs must hold a certain amount of matches in a certain time frame before they're allowed to hold regular dog shows. Sorta like a trial run to make sure the club can do everything needed to run the event and take care of paperwork appropriately. Also already established clubs will hold matches in the evening after the show, and I have a feeling they are a good money maker for the club since they already have all the equipment and everything taken care of for the weekend." This is partly true - a club however in order to maintain it's status as a show giving club has to complete a certain number of components in a given year - a match can be one of them. Do some do it for money - maybe - but I'll tell you from experience that at the end of a show - about the last thing a show giving club is thinking about it's doing more work! we're typically too tired!!!!! In any event a match is good practice for the dogs, the judges and a great way to get your feet wet. You will have a blast.

    He has a good hand with dog?s and is extremely knowledgeble he with several of the swedish kennel club have put their foot down when it comes to breeds that have gone to far like the Basset Hound,Mastino Napoletano etc… So our judges have now gotten order not to award these extreme bred dog?s so that the breeders will start to breed back to more sound looking dog?s.So far we have avoided any silly trends with the Basenji although a whippet kinda dog has been trying to emerge in to the show circuit hopefully that won?t be a success.One dog that I really like she has such a basenji expression is Fula Of The Congo dead but not forgotten:)

    @lvoss: If you can find a copy, I would recommend trying to get a hold of a copy of the Basenji Stacked and Moving by Robert Cole. They are no longer in print and can get quite expensive but every so often you can luck upon a copy that is reasonably priced. Here is an online copy: http://www.basenjiclubofcanada.com/BCOC-BobCole.html

    Well, when Rally had her emergency C-section, they did not "fix" her umbilical hernia but because of where they made the incision it did get rid of hernia. So maybe because they are so easily obliterated by abdominal surgeries they don't include them on the list.
