1st Ever Basenji UDX II

Basenji Training
  • Mary Langoula put the last double leg on her bitch Sparky which makes her the very first UDX II basenji - ever.

    Way to go Mary and Sparky

  • Woo Hoo!!!

  • Yaaay Sparky and Mary! Congrats!

  • i have no idea what this message is about… can someone explain? :)

  • UDX is a high level obedience title. And I believe that UDXII means that has completed the qualificiations twice? Either way, it is the highest obedience title ever attained by a Basenji. I think there are less than 3 or 4 Basenjis that have attained a UD title at all (the X, or excellent, indicates a certain number of high scores during the road to the title).

    The first title in Obedience is CD (Companion Dog), then UD (Utility Dog), and then OCH (or Obedience Champion). I think that you have to complete the requirements for UD three times over to get the OCH…I am sure someone here will correct me if that is inaccurate.

  • Wow! That's fantastic! Congratulations to Sparky and Mary! btw the fact that it has something to do with obedience probably explains why i had no idea what it was. ha ha. tayda and lenny are not the most obedient. :)

    Yeah…I think there must be something WRONG with that B ;) JUST KIDDING!

    or something very, very right with the trainer. WOW!!

  • Congrats! That is awesome!

  • Thanks Quercus for the explanation. Since Hollie is mixed and I have never shown or competed with a dog I often skip over the threads that cover those areas, simply because I didn't understand what they were talking about.

    I have learned a little today!! ;)

  • I'm going to try to add a little here to folks who have not been in basenjis for a million years. The owners of Sparky (Aljor's Back to Sonbar) are Mary and Gary Langula of St. Paul MN. When I got my first Basenji in 1983 they had already been in obedience with basenjis forever.

    You are right - excellent trainers. At one time there was a basenji club in MN and they were members. I have some old newspaper photos of their basenjis as part of an Obedience Training Centers parade drill team. They are doing a sit - off leash - on handlers to be seen. How's that for scary! At one parade it was alleged that someone tossed a firecracker at the dogs and they scattered - except Col Benjamin = the basenji of Gary and Mary.

    Nothing in my house is obedient - children, spouce or dogs - however I am amazed when others can do this kind of stuff.

  • And I agree, one of my puppy owners and now a co-owner of Kobey… has put a CD and RN on her first bitch that she got from me... and leg 1 of her RA in Rally (from the Nationals)... I totally respect her and what she has done... it is the home to "die" for... IMO.... me on the other hand is the typical Basenji person... NO I am not obedient!

    i walk the lab and isis at the same time one on hand and one on the other, the lab seem to have a major drive to sniff out anything and track blindly and of course isis will be doing the same, the b is easier to control cause she lighter but the m1 tank of the lab well.. we've came across little furry friends on our nitely walks i need to stay very focus on my surroundings, one thing the b does if theres someone walking behind us doesnt matter how far , she walk ahead stop and turn to look back, she'll keep doing this repeatedly like she warning me these something there,im sure its instinct on her end to,of course i confirm whats shes doing but yeah those b's dont miss a trick

    Thanks, I didn't even look at the link in it full pasted format. It was sent to me in an unusual format not just pasted into the message which is why I wasn't sure it would work. Thanks for adding the link on its own. Therese

    Sounds like you take good care of him. Standard Process is good stuff. I assume your Doc does Nutritional response testing via kinseology(sp)? If yes, then s/he can easily muscle test if Cosamine would be good for him in addition to his SP supplement. Good luck. Host And Design

    Arlo does "downs" like Zoni (Aries' niece :)) does….with extreme enthusiasm by slamming her paws to the ground. Love it.

    I use this brand: http://www.weatherbeeta.com/ The cover I have for Jala (standard female) is 40cm or 16" (neck to tail measurement). This cover is really warm and waterproof. Subaruthie, the hoodies you made look so cool! :) [image: attachment_p_23194_0_img_0660.jpg] [image: attachment_p_23194_1_img_0659.jpg]

    I've hiked off leash at numerous areas here in the SF Bay area. They love it! Any there was only 1 area that was a problem with ticks. To me after 30 years hiking with them it's the best way to establish a great relationship with them. There's no two ways about it, Basenjis love hiking adventures.
