Showing in Canada/Canadian Championship

Basenji Showing
  • **I was reading an older thread about someone winning a 2 pt major in Canada.
    That have me confused.

    I lived and showed in Canada years and years ago, and we didn't need
    to have any majors then. Just 10 points, can be 10 singles beating
    one other dog in 10 shows, VIOLA, you got your Canadian Championship.

    I know that the CKC is talking about adding a "major" requirement to
    make the championship a bit more challenging.
    So what is the new requirement now?
    How does one obtain a Canadian Championship?
    Maybe I should google it before I ask, but I figure those who show
    in Canada can explain it to me a little bit better.

    THANKS in advance! :rolleyes:**

  • Hi Stef-how have you been. I haven't seen much of you in the last couple of years. You probably don't remember me though. I'm usually with Lynn Arrand and Sue Wilcox.

    If your dog is CKC registered, we require 10 points including at least one 'major' (two points or more). It's not super hard to obtain a championship-unless you have a black as I do. Black is pretty well always dead last. But now they do require one two point win.

    The only problem is that we kind of have to co-ordinate a show. Since there aren't many of us, we get together and decide which shows we will be entering. It's more like a friendly event than competition. It's fun and a social event for us if you can imagine.

    @evillemon said in How to start showing: @debradownsouth Yes we figured we will wait until he is at least two before we make any decisions on neutering him. I can understand why you might want to neuter a female but a male? Agree you need to wait. Most of the reasons advanced to neuter come from groups with an agenda but without solid science. Generally speaking the health risks of neutering outweigh any benefits and there is no effect on behavior. In my experience, having an intact male Basenji never presented any issues at all. Unless you just let your dog roam free I can't think of a single good reason to do it.

    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??
