Anti-basenji ASFA petitioning??

  • mauigirlM

    I just joined the ASFA Region 7 Yahoo group. It looks like we're in the process of looking for a new regional director and a couple people have indicated interest. Someone on the list posed a very direct question to one of the candidates:

    "It has been said through rumblings that there are many in ASFA but
    particularly in Region 7 that have a strong aversion to some breeds being
    allowed to run in ASFA coursing. These breeds being Pharaoh Hounds, Ibizian
    Hounds, RR, Basenji's and IGs. There has been talk of petitioning to get
    them out of ASFA. Unfortunately your name has been attached to these
    rumblings. I would need to know that I have a Director that can be the
    voice for all who participate."

    The candidate dismissed her association with the petitioning as nothing more than a rumor, mentioning that
    "In fact just yesterday I awarded a Best In Field run to a very deserving Basenji that I'd never seen before." (She was referring to Zippy, I about jumped out of my chair when I read that and then looked at the date it was written :D )

    I don't know much about ASFA as I haven't even been to a trial yet, haha…but seriously, anyone know about the aforementioned petitioning?

    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

    @agilebasenji: Could you put her in a pen behind the counter? Or section off an area for her. That way she could be with you, socialize, be the store mascot but not be out in the store where she could slip out the door. i dont think that hub will want to change the disposition of things…she'd just learn how to jump over the counter as soon as she figures it out!!!:D

    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]
