Just an itsy bitsy little brag

Basenji Training
  • J

    Saylah, FC/UIC-Int/Nat JA Jumoke's Saylah of Baraka SC JOR, owned by Paul Root and Bill Bowlus, and one of our grand dogs, was Best in Field, not once, but two days in a row at the Cascade Coursing Club, AKC All Breed Lure Coursing Test and Trial July 22-23, 2006

    No easy feat for any dog let alone a basenji. Each day had an entry of 45 to 50 dogs with some very good running whippets and rhodesian ridgebacks. Judges were Carlee and Ian Davies, known for their rhodesian ridgebacks worldwide. Hence the strong rhodesian ridgebacks entry, and these are great running dogs.

    Both days, Saylah ended up running against the ridgeback for Best in Field. It was awesome to watch her match the speed and the ability to out corner the ridgeback. The ridgeback could not pull away from her. I gather Ian and Carlee recognized that it was not that the ridgeback was having a poor run, but the basenji was exceptional.

    One might consider this a fluke, Saylah was just having good weekend, but she just earn a Best in Field several weeks earlier at the Inland Gazehound Fanciers ASFA Trial, June 18, 2006

    I wonder how many Best in Fields has one basenji earned in a given year. Three is awesome.

    Look for Saylah at the top in ASFA and AKC Lure Coursing Top Ten Basenjis

    Way to go, Paul and Bill, could not be happier for you.

    Yep, she did it; Saylah is AKC Lure Coursing #1 Basenji in the standings through 6-16-06

    It will be interesting if she can hold the position, there are so many good running dogs this year.

    Congratulations Saylah! It's always hard for a Basenji to beat those big dogs and the speedburners like the Whippets. Great accomplishment!

    @Quercus: I would probably do that. But the benefit to taking them each to class is that they learn to do the behaviors in a distracting environment. The flip side to that is how on earth would you be able to train both dogs at the same time in the class? LOL!! I was thinking that my son would come with me and train Daisy, while I train Duke. Duke is the toughest student - REALLY spastic. :eek: Everything is a distraction. Daisy is much calmer. So I should bring Duke to class and then go thru the same training exercises at home with Daisy. I agree that training in a distracting environment WITH instructor's help is best. But, yeah - I should save some $$ and only take one. Gasoline prices are killing my budget! :mad:

    Way to go, Max!! See, all that energy is there for a reason! I love Max; he's beautiful and funny. LOL, one day I joked to Darren, "Don't you think Max and Jazzy would make beautiful puppies?". I think the look I got resembled this, ":eek: " Poor guy. I love doing stuff like that to him.
