i used to take pet portraits for people. Got pretty good at making unusual noises to get the dog's expression. With horses, an umbrella slowly opening works wonders! But dogs, like kids, get bored quickly. In my experience if you don't get "that" shot in the first minute or so, you won't. But some are real hams and love the camera! Basenjis generally are very photogenic. 🙂
Zoni at the BCOSW fun day

Very cool to see. She did so good..and you are right her headshot is very nice
-
Great video of Zoni, i wish we had Basenji fun days in the Uk.
She's a beautiful girl. -
nice story!!
I would not trim those hairs you are talking about, but then again I think most show people would do for some reason, allthough I am showing my dogs I dont trim them like that, i prefer the more natural look and they are winning also this way

Looks like Zoni had lots of fun. She is a cutie!
-
Thanks everyone for the compliments! :D:D They just put some pictures up on the BCOSW website. I pulled this pic of her coursing.

She looks like she is having a ball….
-
She is on fire…watch out everybody..
-
She is such a cutie!! I am so glad you had a good time.

I know! It's funny how excited you can get watching them run. It's going to be so long until next spring when she can actually do it for real.

Not sure how I missed this thread…
Anyway, she is very cute:D:D...I can't get over how big she has become. And I love the video - she looks like she was having a blast. I can't tell from the video...was it fenced in?
I wish they had lure coursing around here...I think the closest I've seen it is CT - 5 hours away. I'd love to have both Ruby & Liyah give it a try - although that said, I guess I'd have to get over the fear of letting them free w/out a lead and a fence.
BTW, Nemo, I love your new avatar! :D:D Very cute!!!

I know! I can't believe how much my baby has grown up. :p:D
Yes, there was a fence. The host of the picnic has horses, so we were back in one of the pastures. However, the fence only had wires between the posts so they could have gotten out if they were really really determined. But I think everyone was pretty comfortable with letting their dogs loose. I was pretty okay with her doing it since she was so determined to get the lure as soon as she saw it. I wasn't so much at a coursing trial where the fencing was really far away and the field was open.
And thanks about the avatar…it's one of the few pictures I have of the both of them awake where Zoni isn't mouthing on Nemo's neck. :D:D (Poor Nemo! :rolleyes:)
