    This weekend marks the begining of the 2007 BCOA National Specialty in California, hosted by the Basenji Club of Northern California.

    I know this yearly event is the Mecca for Basenji breeders and certainly our resident forum Basenji Breeders. I wish all attending this years event an enjoyable week and hope all have fun!:)

    I want to get my soapbox out here and thank those very breeders that come to this forum everyday to lend thier knowledge and experience, your contributions can't be understated. Thank You all!

    I know many have put time and effort into making this years Specialty a success, but a special thanks to our fellow foumite Pat (Tanza)…....good luck Pat, I know you've put in a lot of time and effort to make it happen.;)

    For those of you in that area, it's the ultimate Basenjifest, try to get there if you can.:cool:
    For those of you that are going to the Senjifest.........lot's of pictures please!:D :D :D For those of us that can't make it.:D

    Thanks for the plug for the National BBoy! I will be leaving arriving in NoCal on Tuesday. I plan to bring a laptop, so I can send 'reporter on the scene' notes each day…Pat and Lisa *may be a little too busy :)

  • I'll be sending updates as much as I can from Nationals. Im wired…Laptop, PDA, Digital Camera. Ha! Gotta love technology.
    Unfortunately I started a trial this past week and now my schedule is hectic. Argh!
    Chance goes in the ring the beginning of the week so I'll keep ya posted.

  • Cool! I'll get to meet Vanessa! Is Chance entered?

    Looks like you Ladies have it all covered.:D Group pictures are always nice….hint hint.:D

    Wish I could be there:( .

    Have a great time all of you and good luck in the ring.

    Go Chance!!!!!:D :cool: ;)

    I'm sure there's so much to do…....but:D

    Try to enjoy the festivities as well Ladies.;)

  • It is one of the american basenji event I would love to come to one day, I heard it is great :)

    When you do come to see it, could you stop by Poland and pick up my friend.:D :D :D

    I've only seen it on a DVD…...they tell me it's awesome.

  • Of course it is pouring rain today… and we (at least not in the 25 yrs I have lived in California) had rain this early in the month of October... never till maybe the end of the month.... sigh....

    Of course we had a bunch of people "complain" that we were showing indoors... hmmm think if it rains on Tuesday as they say it will, they will be singing a different tune....

    And I would think that Chance will be in Tuesday (sweeps) and Wednesday (dog classes)....

  • And hey Basenji Boy… thanks for the plug.... while lots of works, it will be fun... (we keen telling ourselves that)

  • @Quercus:

    Cool! I'll get to meet Vanessa! Is Chance entered?

    I look forward to meeting you too!

    I've entered the little devil. Unfortunately I won't be there to watch him in action. I work for law firm and with trial during Nationals I will be missing my pup in action :( My handler will be giving me updates though. I will be there Sat and Sunday to show my support and if this case settles (god willing) I'll be there as much as I can during the week.

    I really hope this rain stops. Its pouring down here in the south bay! :mad:

    C'mon B-Boy. I've been trying to get you to come to Ca for months!
    You could still make it!!!!
    C'mon.. you could stay at our house!
    Warm house, good meal, Basenji eating your socks…Bliss! :D
    Hahah
    We'll miss ya...But I do believe Texas is in order. See you next year :p

  • Good luck to all - I had planned on flying out late Wednesday and home on Sat night but my mom is not doing very well at the moment (91) and to compound her issues - he little old pomeranian that was living with my sister - died this week.

    Enjoy and if you get a chance to drive out to Yosemite - do it.

    Sorry your not coming was looking forward to "shoot the shit" with you :D

    Oh and for anyone that is interested, we have already had to move the Af Stock Exb since the place it was to be held is now flooded… sigh.... and the fun begins.... and just think we had so many people complain that we have all the conformation (with the exception of the ASE) indoor... remarking that "it is so nice this time of year in California".... NOT.... :mad:

    I love that part of California too.:(

    Could you imagine Willy, Jasper and Chance loose in your house?:eek: You'd be lucky to get away with just the socks.:D

    Texas it is!:cool:

  • Wishing everyone a great and wonderful week. It will be exciting here on the sidelines for all the updates.

  • Yes, it sounds like a lot of work but fun, fun, fun! Looking forward to hearing (and seeing?) more about how it's going!! Lots of luck to all!

  • Everyone is probably exhausted. It was a long day yesterday. The last event didn't finish until 7:30pm and then some of us helped with the blood draw which took until about 8:00pm. I had to drive home so I could teach today and didn't actually get home until midnight.

    My husband is showing Sophie today in Puppy Sweeps. So far no news about how it is going.

    Yesterday Nicky, DC Sherwood's In The Nick of Time SC, RN, LCM took 4th in the 9-11 year Vet Dog class. Pat's boy OJ was the oldest Vet in Sweeps and took 2nd in his class.

    Sophie was 2nd in the 50% not greater than 75% 9-12 AF Puppy Class and her brother, Zeke, was 3rd in his class.

  • It was a sad day, I had to forfit Chance's first event. Hopefully we will be there tomorrow. Paws Crossed.

  • Thinking about you ladies, don't over do it.

    Vanessa, Chance is young, he'll have lot's of shows to do in the future:) .

    I know you hate to forfit.:(

    True but I've spent alot since Mr. Q's arrival (just dropped $9,000 last night finalizing the fence so I can remove the ugly temporary) so I am going to be a bit more budget minded for the rest of the year.

    @Quercus: We had a great time, Hippo managed to not be too much of a turd!! He won his class (he was the only one in it!) It was really fun meeting Nemo, and Nicole also from the forum. Hopefully we will be able to meet more of you at other shows this year!!! I just found this thread! It was great meeting you too. Hippo was such a sweet dog. He is a nice looking boy too. -Nicole

    I haven't managed to find any Basenji's in my area and Id like to get together with some other Basenji owners and their dogs and let our dogs socialize and let us human's get to know each other. I love Basenji's and I figured it would be awesome to get them all together at a dog park or something and let them play. I figured this would be a great place to throw this idea out there since SO many members are on this site :)

    The gang in the picture "Basenji and rescue friends" where certainly entertaining but at the same time sad. One of the club members works for a Vet. Puppy mills bring in dogs for various reasons and sometimes after the Vet care is completed the Puppy mills figure they have too large of a bill and just don't come back to pick them up. This lady takes them in and she keeps them with her Basenji's. The Pug had both legs broken, and currently cannot use it's front legs, but somehow get's around…....it's a touch sad to watch. The little Chi wha wha, had a broken leg and was in a cast. Hopefully it will heal correctly and it can walk without problem.....they just don't know. Good to know there's folks that have a kind heart and are willing to take in such sad cases that no one else wants. My son and I couldn't help looking at them in there and comparing them to the toys on the Isle of misfit toys from the Christmas cartoon. They really where cute with they're basenji foster mom.
