Fun Dog show

Basenji Talk
  • thunderbird8588T

    Today we went to a Fun Dog show in a local park in aid of Guide Dogs for the blind.
    Malaika won a second for the Dog in best condition and a third for having the most appealing eyes. There was a lot of Dogs in all classes so we think she did very well. Think it helped when she high fived the judge ;)
    We met a man who had a Dog for the disabled and he was telling us the story behind getting his Dog. Apparently the Dog had been badly abused and he needed to do a lot of rehabilitation with him . He is now able to help the man with lots of household tasks and leads a happy life. It was heart warming to see how things have worked out for both Dog and human.

    Congrats to Malaika on her 'wins'. Well done!

    It's just so heartwarming to hear about dogs who help those with disabilities. The fact that the dog was abused makes it extra special. How wonderful that these two met up - probably it was just meant to happen.

    Congratulations. Malaika is doing very well at her shows.
    What a lovely story about the abused dog, so nice that it turned out good for that dog eventually.

    Well, the lab I mentioned (chocolate overweight one) almost took me out by slamming into my knee. I commented loudly " he better not insure my knee!" No comment from the owner. Others were keeping an eye on this over exhuberant dog too. Many peeps were standing behind a bench for protection. What really bugs me is that the park has very visible signs when you enter it that say you must have control of your dog.

    That was amazing…he was a gorgeous boy. I'm watching the breed selection video now and all those dogs are beautiful! Of all the B's in the breed video, number 9 (little girl) a tri beauty who stopped to scratch an itch during judging, number 16 (little girl) a black and white, and number 18 (little boy) a red and white are my favorites.They were all beautiful, but those really stuck in my mind. What I found so amusing is that number 9 the one that scratched her itch was the best of breed for our little angels. She did a wonderful job and showed beautifully. She was a great representative of this breed!

    @Nemo: Yep you can use a clicker for that too. I used a clicker to help me touch both of my dogs mouths, to brush their teeth, look at their teeth, touch their feet, hold their head, etc. when needed. I'll give it a try - maybe I can find a different clicker, one with a softer pop. It's funny sometimes how the cookie crumbles - I can't show Trinity, yet she's the one who lets me get right in her face, in her mouth, stands still when I want to inspect her…:p

    Thanks for the advice, I guess the ramp is not needed.

    Owning a basenji requires a good sense of humor and a large dose of patience and a willingness to do some creative thinking to convince the basenjis what you want is really the same thing as what they want. So true, never a dull moment with these dogs

    The only thing I would be concerned about with a Dachshund would be the possiblity of it having some back damage with the rough play of a basenji…or even trying to do the same acrobatics that Bs do. I have known some folks who had a lot of problems with disk and spine problems with Doxies...but I don't know if that is typical. Something to think about though...
