I'm hopeful. Jazz has two Ring personalities: 1} alert and looking great!!! and 2} wake me when it's over, so it's hard to tell which way she'll go. She's in Seattle both days. Saturday is an early morning, Sunday is an afternoon. Hopefully one of those time slots will make her happy! LOL
I'm hoping she is so excited to see Bryan that she is alert and perky both days.
You'll have to let me know what time the B's show on Sunday in Bremerton. I'd love to come out. -

Well, pooh. Maybe you can come Sunday? It's at 2 PM, a much more reasonable hour for the drive over. LOL
Jazzy was 2nd today {6 in the ring}, so no points. But she looked good!

he is absolutely gorgeous. has been hit by a car :( doesnt limp, just lots of booboos. likes people, doesnt like picked up. very tall, black and white. nothing else is known. i would've wanted him in a heartbeat. i am sure he will make someone a very nice dog. he even knows how to sit.

Amber, I loved seeing Fender today, and he did fine in the ring! Are you going to continue showing?

we will show more, fender just really needs to mature (fill out) a bit. :)
at least we have one blue ribbon. jazzy is still sweet and beautiful! one more itty bitty point ;) i do think i will have to get a babysitter or a crate for my son for future shows, lol.we will see what the future holds, but i might consider taking on the ring. it seemed so chaotic today for the breeders to handle more than one dog. i need lessons and buckets of knowledge :/
not a great pic, but here he is on the table

Fender is a very sweet boy, and so refined looking. He did great – especially considering the night he'd had, poor fellow.
Hmmm, a crate for the kids....wish I'd thought of that today! LOL Mine don't often accompany me, and I remember why now! They can only take so much dog show before the boredom hits. And then there was the 8 yr old who wanted to show me that toy from The 3-Cs booth, so he tucked it under his coat {to keep dogs from trying to get it}, and walked out of the booth and over to the rings! ARGH! I'm so glad no one saw that! They LOVED seeing Bryan and Laurie's puppies, though. {They may have been a bit much for Bryan and Laurie, though, LOL}. All the kids came home madly in love with puppies.
You are more brave than I to consider getting in the ring! I am strictly a spectator! I will look forward to seeing you and Fender do your thing in the future though.

When you gait your basenjies in the US do you walk briskly or run.Here it seems to be the fashion to run.Why I was asking is that I have a bad back and it hurts like #### when I run.
So how do I get the most out of his gait??
At what age do you start cycling with your basenjies to increase their muscle tone some here say on the second year of the dog but my breeder thought I could start with now aprx 2 miles twice week to begin with haven´t done it yet.Myran is nearly 7 months old. -

Well let's see….most people here run when they gait their dogs. We like to move our Bs fast here :)
See how fast you can move him if you walk...each dog has an ideal speed to see their best gait...maybe you can find a good speed for him without running?
I don't cycle my dogs...they are pretty muscle bound just chasing each other around the yard :) Personally, I would probably wait until the dog was at least an year old to cycle him. When you run them on a cycle, it is hard for them to let you know they have had enough....

I know a few people who show their dogs who can't physically run-bad knees, bad hips,backs, etc.- they walk really fast and the dogs gait themselves.

Yes maybe I should try that instead luckily i´m quite tall (5´11) with long legs and i´ve always been a fast walker people complain they have to run when i´m walking;)

Ok on the 18th is Myrans debute puppy class in a KC show everything has gone so far by the plan he´s very good when I stack him can stand still for ages.Gaiting is well ok as long as I don´t run too fast yes folks I run hurts but hey i´m stubborn.But is it because he´s still young (8 months)that he starts plowing when I go too fast and when I slow down the trot looks good according to onlookers??
