  • Well, not quite yet, but soon. Just getting ready now to give Keoki a pre-show bath, then we're heading out after lunch for the EBC show in Auburn this afternoon. We have to give plenty of travel time due to unpredictable but seemingly constant road construction on I-5.

    Keoki has never been tested – Bryan couldn't make it over to give him a trial work-out as one of their pups is ill -- so he's going into the ring as green as they come. Should be verrrrry interesting. LOL We'll see if this is a "what a good boy!" day or a "Geez, you're full of piss and vinegar today" day.

    By this evening I'll either be a proud mama pointing and saying "That's MY boy!" ,:D or I'll be staring into the ring in horror saying aloud, "Wow, whose puppy is THAT?" :eek: hee hee

  • Good luck and good showing! More importantly, have fun!:)

  • Lots of luck!!!!!!!!!

  • Good luck, and have fun!

  • Keoki did fairly well today, he did stop and appear to pose in the middle of the ring for a stranger w/a camera. Bryan had to coax him as he appeared to want to stand and really study that lady. It was cute…. onlookers giggled.:)

    He got 3rd :D out of I think 6. His brother Bandit {a lovely little tri-boy} got 2nd.:)

    In the US, for AKC Championship your dog needs a total of 15 points with 2 major wins. Points go from 1 to 5pts, with 3,4 and 5 being considered major point wins. Points are assigned by groups of areas or large states, such as California is one area. Here is a link to AKC with the detailed explanation http://www.akc.org/events/conformation/counting_points.cfm

    @ibi_n_sane: how funny, never heard of that, makes me wonder why they should not need teeth for eating veggies? they need to chew them too right? :confused: yeah…that is a load ;) that would mean that cows, horses, gorillas? wouldn't need teeth... I agree that dogs probably shouldn't be penalized for missing an incisor...but does it lead to missing molars (big problem for crunching bones)...and missing canines (big problem for catching prey)? I don't know, because I haven't run across more than one Basenji that was missing an incisor.

    @Janneke: Will you also let them run the next day? I don't know as they have never run before.

    Yes, Andrea, we did brave the plane trip (that was when my husband and Tex were stranded overnight in Pittsburgh due to snow) to Cleveland several years ago. Tex won the Breed on the day Animal Planet was filming the Group Judging. We were really excited until we saw the finished product - Tex and Bob got about 1 1/2 seconds of air time as they were panning the Group! If you blinked, you missed them… Oh well, we still have the sleigh bells he won, and Tex learned that snow melts when you mark your territory LOL Terry
