Kiya's First Show

Basenji Showing
  • I am so excited. Today I entered Kiya in her first show in Placerville. Kiya will be turning 6 mts old. Her and her brother Gatii will both be there together.
    We finally came up with her AKC name. Man did it take forever!
    Kiya is officially Zuri's Princess Tadukhipa of Mitanni which in short means Kiya.
    When we named Kiya we knew that we wanted her AKC name to be Egyptian.
    Now she is official. Paws crossed that she does well on the 25th!!!

  • Glad it was the 25th and not the 24th…. she will have a good judge for her first ring experience..... I would never show a puppy to the judge on the 24th....

    Even if she was in the ring on the 24th she would of been DQ'd. She turns 6mts on the 25th. :D
    I've been working with her getting her ready for the ring. I remember when Chance was in the ring as a pup and the "issues" we had :p
    So far Kiya hasn't acted the way chance used to act and she is pretty attentive towards me or her handler.

  • I was talking about the judge… not how the dog acts.. and I meant that it was a good thing that she was not "of" age on the 25th. He is NOT a very good judge for a puppy, and I would never show a puppy to him.

    @tanza: Great video… she looks good and typically "puppy"...gggg One pointer for you, when trying to move her front legs on the table, move from the elbow instead of mid/lower leg... she is less likely to pull it away from you.... Thanks for that! Will try that next time :D And yes the breed ring was tiny, and Maya (when she actually gets going) has such a long stride and trots out quite fast so it wasnt ideal. But better than being out in the rain :) Thanks for all the nice comments.
  • Zumi's first show and our first point!

    I can't take animals on the kitchen counters, so I used to have Jazzy "practice" on the coffee table. Now she will work anywhere. Her "code word" from me is "Hold", and she'll hold a pretty stand. I guess I should ask what Bryan tells her in the ring, LOL, for some consistency.
  • It's a teeny brag, but it's all I have…

    LOL, Bryan. I suppose it comes from all those years of my mom telling me, and me telling my kids, that it's not polite to brag! LOL BUT, I really do have a Wall of Jazz in my family room that has a bulletin board with all her ribbons, and the three show 8x10's next to it. So, maybe that's my subtle way of bragging to everyone that enters the room…?
