    We'll Be There!!!:D


  • Great! I will keep an eye out for you. I will have all 4 of mine with me.


  • What would be a good time to arrive?
    I would like to have him do a test run to see if Lure Coursing is something we should pursue.


  • Probably between noon and 1pm. Practices are at the end of the day after the trial. So getting there in the early afternoon means you can see the end of the trial and get some socialization in without completely wearing Chance out. Also, even if he doesn't show much interest right now that could change a lot as he matures. I have had some take over a year to really get the idea, Nicky was 18 months old before he thought it looked like fun. He was a top 10 courser in both ASFA and AKC the following year.


  • The BCOA AKC lure trials were a huge success. We had a great time. Sophie had a chance to meet several puppies including Vanessa's Chance. Sophie and Chance also got to give chasing the lure a try at the end of the day yesterday. Rio, Rally, and Nicky all had a blast chasing the lure both days. Rio and her brother Cole finished their AKC Senior Courser titles. All four of mine are now happily curled up in bed asleep.

    Chance slept the entire way home and all through the night. Who would of known he would be so worn out :o
    We had such a great time at the event. It was wonderful to see so many B's. Sophie is one cute little girl. We should get together for puppy play date. :D


  • It was a great trial… One of my girls (who lives with Ann Patterson-Hine) is a new Dual Champion with back to back 5pt majors from this weekend.... YEA!!!! She is now DC* Tanza's Almazi Madini,SC,RN,CD,CGC,FCH (aka Crystal). Thanks to her Mom, Ann for putting on the Obedience Titles!!!! And she is loving her new baby B Brother.... Kobey.....

    Crystal is 6 1/2... and we have been trying to get her lure majors for quite a while... Crystal, while a good runner would beat herself by running the course before it ever started... LOL...

    @ComicDom1: Well here is the Ironic thing. Many of the people at coursing were the same people at the show and to be honest in our area I could not tell any difference. Everyone was very friendly and very interested in getting to know others. Maybe its because I have snow on the roof! Of course do not forget I do have testosterone poisoning. Jason Yep, the basenji people at the coursing event were all at the Chicago specialty with the except of 2 or 3. There are only a few that I can think of that don't do both showing and coursing. They are all very friendly and helpful. I'm looking forward to the club fun day in July.

    Hey dogstar42, I'm not in that exact area but the Basenji Club of Southern Wisconsin(http://www.bcosw.org/) has several activities every year not far from you, one of which is a Fun Day where everyone can bring there dog for fun and games in Rockford, IL. It's on July 11 this year. You should consider joining the club. They haven't updated the calendar on the website yet but if you look in the latest newsletter it has a list of most of the dates for the year. There is also a Chicagoland Basenji Club but I am not as familiar with that one. Clay
