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.

    I think Oakley sees my point because he will look to the object my hand is touching…most often times at least..he never looks at my face for a cue of to acknowledge my words..if I throw something and tell him to go get it (and he doesn't see the throw)..it's impossible to direct him towards it..he's silly that way- no direction!

    In your position, where you really have to take her out a lot, I understand. And I hope her comfort continues. My point was it is situational need, not dog need to be that social. :) I have a slim chance of that having worked with my current 2, but with my incredibly dog aggressive first one, I'd have been out in a basket muzzle and warning everyone to keep their dogs away.

    Yeah, after the first two, breed and group I was starting to think we had a chance, I thought , if he keeps this up…... But of course.. It was funny, he just would not stand still , I kept having to get up and do a turn and return to position and he would be ok and then just when the judge was passing by.... Again..... Of course it didn't help that it was on grass, and there were ants! They kept biting his legs and he kept jumping up and I had to take them off of him and move to avoid them... It was horrible. There are always ants Herr when its on grass!!!!

    @Forever: Yes we talked to one of the Bs owners right before we left her name was Laura (Tammen's Basenjis) She helped me out alot talking to me about zoe i'm so glad I met her. There was a fuss after the showing that delayed the next breed (a whippet owner was very upset about that) we asked laura about it and she mentioned that about the behavior. Laura is very nice, has very nice Basenjis and is a good breeder….

    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

    We take our kids as many places as we can… hiking swimming running/jogging- nature trails parks doggie events (like ours!! www.firstgiving.org/bdawg) I've taken Lexi to do lure coursing a few years ago- it was fun, but she wasn't as in to it as I thought she might be; our dobie was FAR superior! lol
