This Weekend's Coursing

Basenji Training
  • With our race weekend cancelled due to a soggy field, we went ASFA coursing instead. L'Ox picked up both of his first placements and 32 points going BOB beating his half sister in Open and his mom in the BOB run both days. Kyo, Kinetic-Tanza Reaper Man, also got to see the lure for the first time and give it a try, http://youtu.be/kVQ4colkhDQ

    It was a nice weekend with the rain holding off until after the trial was finished. The dogs are all happily worn out and sprawled on various couches.

  • Congratulations, so nice to have another event available when one gets cancelled

  • :) Watching basenjis coursing really makes me smile. They truly love it. Congrats on the results.

    Darn those plastic bags! I remember last summer Kevin and Therese had to have a significant number of replacement bags on hand.

    @DebraDownSouth: Okay that is pretty funny! Glad the judge passed her. Hey, perhaps the judge appreciated the intelligence to go check something out then resume business? Thanks everyone. She had really lovely runs all weekend (except Sunday's Std run) and I'm so very, very proud of her. She went through a fear(?) period on courses towards the beginning of the year, so she's come a long way. And, DDS, no, agility judges do not appreciate creativity on course. If you don't believe me, ask Jet the trying. :D Of course I always thought maybe the judge watching Jet would think "Gosh, that really is a nicer course."

    My personal opinion is that if you don't set ground rules for both dogs, you will have a fight… each needs to respect the other and since Shango was there first, he should be greeted first... and Mowgli needs to learn to wait his turn. But first you will need to teach Mowgli some basic Obedience, like sit, down, stay.... You need to greet Shango first and have Mowgli wait.... if he buts in you need to put him back in a sit/stay until you are done with Shango and release Mowgli

    That was very nice for a first try. She will improve greatly as she becomes more seasoned. Beautiful little gal. You're doing well with her. Heck, just getting a Basenji to do all that is a triumph. I thought it was cute how she went around to greet the judges. Such a little ambassador.:D

    Lets hope that's not the case but you never know with a Tri :) I'll have a camera in one hand and a video recorder in the other just to make sure we capture everything. LOL

    If your dog doesn't like being crated then maybe creating a "safe place" for when kids visit that the dog can be where it can have some time away from the kids.

    It was 2000ft. The finish judge commented that maybe we should only have gone halfway-1000 ft. Next time I'll run her with a more experienced dog and on a shorter practice. And like I said, Mama's girl and all!
