Well isn't she a sassy little thing? Thanks so much for the information. I had not heard of this one at all. I will Google it to get more info and find where to purchase!

Westminster results

Yay neither of the poodles won
Yay the hound group won
Boo the basenji didn't make it

Whole-heartedly agree. How come the B's never win? It's rare that I see a B even win best in group!
-
Well it took since 1983 for a hound to win westminster. Perhaps in 20 more years a Basenji will win. There are enough beautiful basenji's to step up to that position. Perhaps the Brits are smarter a Basenji won Crufts a few years ago.

During the other dog shows that are televised, we are lucky if we even get to see the basenji.

I agree! I was so excited just to see the basenji on TV! Every other dog show I have watched they haven't showed one. I was excited to see it shown & even discussed (although not as highly as some of the other breeds)

Probably because most of the people mc-ing the dog shows don't know that much about basenjis. One of the guys who usually does westminster (can't think of his name right now) used to be a sports-caster! He usually has a lot of inane comments about the dogs.

That was Joe Garagiola (sp?) - and you have to admit he made it funny - he doesn't do it anymore though.
I looked in the records for the past 100 years and the hound group has only won 4 times total (counting this year). -
Yes, he was good for a laugh! I can't believe the hounds have only won 4 times. But, of course, I'm prejudiced.
