  • Congratulations!

  • Congrats and what great pics! Very handsome boy! :)

  • thank you all! Sunday we did just as well, once again going WD, BOW and Best Puppy in Breed for another point! I was VERY proud of my baby. We decided to stay and try our luck in the puppy hound group. Judge Booxbaum was really considering him for group 4, but Zumi decided he'd had enough and lay down, so the Norwegian Elkhound got it. Al Well, we shall try again at teh next show.

    I got more pictures of him for Sunday, but am waiting to get them loaded.

    not bad for our first weekend out.

    He is a lovely puppy, and you are doing a great job showing him :) My puppy, on the other hand, was being a complete goofball (I guess that is what I get for not training him!!) The judge commented 'he was giving you fits today' ;)

    Congratulations, and it was fun meeting you :)

  • Congrats! You have a beautiful little guy!

    In the US, for AKC Championship your dog needs a total of 15 points with 2 major wins. Points go from 1 to 5pts, with 3,4 and 5 being considered major point wins. Points are assigned by groups of areas or large states, such as California is one area. Here is a link to AKC with the detailed explanation http://www.akc.org/events/conformation/counting_points.cfm

    @ibi_n_sane: how funny, never heard of that, makes me wonder why they should not need teeth for eating veggies? they need to chew them too right? :confused: yeah…that is a load ;) that would mean that cows, horses, gorillas? wouldn't need teeth... I agree that dogs probably shouldn't be penalized for missing an incisor...but does it lead to missing molars (big problem for crunching bones)...and missing canines (big problem for catching prey)? I don't know, because I haven't run across more than one Basenji that was missing an incisor.

    @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.
