LC Brags! BIF #2

Basenji Training
  • This weekend we coursed up in Calhoun with the Metropolitan Atlanta Whippet Association. Zippy really enjoyed herself as long as when she wasn't on the field, she was being fussed over to be kept warm! There were very few ex pens set out, most dogs, and humans sat in their cars during downtime.
    There were, amazingly, two other basenjis there. I didn't expect that at all. Their human drove all the way from Illinois. The very handsome R/W boy running in Special was DC Jerlin's Our Zuri Pupin SC GRC ORC FCh (he has a full page in a recent Basenji mag). His trindle "sister" was named Bisa. Their Mom also had a 4.5 month old puppy boy named Ari and he and Lola had a BLAST playing together. It was SOOOO cute (post pics, Carrie). Booger ran for his JC and had a beautiful clean run on Saturday.

    Zippy took BOB both days with combined scores of 155 and 153. And today she ran against a Saluki and a Greyhound to win BIF for her second 5 point major. She's now at 12 points after 3 days of running in Open.

    Some pics from today:

    Mixed stake, the two opens and the special:

    They're off!

    BIF run. The Saluki is a sweet boy, but shy. He is an awesome courser.

    Zip got a good start

    See that fuzzy pink spot? Guess who!

    I never showed you Riley's fleece. 2 more months til we can enter him! He spent most of the day in the car, crated, but did have a great practice run at the end of the day.

    C-c-c-c-c-o-o-o-o-l-l-l-ld-d-d-d-d. The body-less B. Can you believe she was still shivering in there?

  • Congrats! And the pictures are cool too (love the body-less b) I'm looking forward to trying out lure coursing next spring. Looks like so much fun.

  • Congratulations!!!!! It sounds like Zip had a fabulous day! Thanks for sharing the photos too. It looks like you had a blast despite the frigid weather. :D

  • Congrats!! Great pics!

  • WOW! I love the fuzzy pink dot!! Congrats :)

  • Congrats, I love watching them race.

    Way to go Kobey, Kev and I are so proud of all you have done. I suppose we have to give much credit to those humans in your life like Pat and Anne, hugs to you all and we can't wait to hear more successful lure trial stories. Therese and Kevin (Kobey's proud co-breeders)

    I know this post is old, but its always good to have lots of different answers when researching anything on the forum. Mine crate together. I have 2 separate crates in case one is sick or in case they start to not get along in the crate together (like I thought would happen when Callie went into season). However, when I first brought Callie home, she was used to being crated with one of her littermates, so she did not like being crated alone. She escaped almost every day & destroyed my blinds (thank goodness that was all!). I started crating her with Lola, and although Lola gets testy when Callie won't settle down quickly, they both do very well crated together when I'm not home & when in the car. I can still crate them separately, but they prefer to be together so they can cuddle together & stay warm. I do always keep in mind though, it could go horribly wrong sometime when I'm not around. Its a calculated risk I take, but thus far it works out well as I have a small car and am forced to crate them together when we go anywhere.

    Way to go, Max!! See, all that energy is there for a reason! I love Max; he's beautiful and funny. LOL, one day I joked to Darren, "Don't you think Max and Jazzy would make beautiful puppies?". I think the look I got resembled this, ":eek: " Poor guy. I love doing stuff like that to him.
