Yup, nothing fun happens until everybody's peed. Today she saw the old man go out on HER walk hour and was DISPLEASED. I agreed with her that it sure would be fun to go for a romp!
I'm glad we're not the only dweebs who sing to our dogs. We've taken to improvising a life soundtrack to the tune of "Springtime for Hitler" that usually starts "____-time for Basenjis, ______". The past couple days it's been "Pottytime for basenjis, come on, go pee!" 😃
First Licens Runs
-
for Panda and Jester are on the plan for tonight. Please keep your fingers crossed, that they do what they are supposed to do and do not come to other Basenji-ideas….
Little Shakti is also going to have a Baby-run. Which means not more than 100 or 200 m in a slow speed to test, if she is interested (her mother does not like coursing, she thinks its boring).
:rolleyes:;)

How exciting!! I have my fingers crossed for tonight! Anybody there to take pictures..?
-
I try my best, but as Panda and Jester are supposed to run as a team as well, I do not know, if Andreas will be able to start both of them at the same time and I guess they will not allow anybody else besides us to touch them in such an exciting moment….

How exciting..yes we will keep our fingers and paws crossed for them all to do excellent..

They did sooo well….
Everything went perfect and they behaved really good. Even little Shakti did her very best to jump through the high grass and get the "rabbit".
Pictures (watch out, it is really a lot of them) are to be found in our galleries with yesterdays date.... http://myndeklubbengallerie.seelenfreund.dk/#59.0 http://myndeklubbengallerie.seelenfreund.dk/#58.0
Jester with the blue muzzle, Panda with the orange muzzle and Shakti "bare naked".

Great news. They look like they are having great fun..

Do you use slip leads in Europe when running your dogs?
-
some do, some don't. I was thinking about a better thing but a thin collar, because there still is a risk that the dog gets hurt for some stupid reason. I have bought some agility lead thing, as a retriever lead. But this does not work that well, if the dog is tackling the prey, so a slip lead would be a good alternative…. I think I can have someone make one or two for me, so maybe we have a new "top seller" soon.
Specially Denmark is not very used to Coursing events. We do not have regular track racing under FCI regulations as here in DK you can bet on sighthound races. Coursing is quite new here and on August 8th the first national Championship is held. Next Year we hope to participate with the B's in a own coursing section, hopefully...Regards,
