    …and Moses was definitely not one of the most quiet ones in there...no, he had top make himself heard..

    That is what I liked about the B that was there, he just sat there and looked at everything and anybody walking by, no noise no nothing...very B-like and poised..

    @Forever:

    We just got back from the show. It was a nice time. There turned out to be 5 bs this morning in the ring, 3 r/w a tri and a trindle. New to this so not sure what went on but I think a r/w took first. So many interesting dogs and everyone was friendly my daughter loved getting to pet all the different dogs. I talked to one of the Basenji owners before we left and she was really nice. She was very helpful and gave me her e-mail address. We will post pics later.

    Looks by the results that all 6 entered did show. One was excused for threatening behavior towards the judge. And it must have been so, I have shown to the Judge, Betty Stites many times and she is not afraid of the breed.

    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.

    of course I'm comfortable

    Forever Amber, I'm glad you had a good time. Showing dogs and going to dog shows can be a lot of fun. My husband and I enjoy it a lot. There are some really great people involved with our breed.

    Trust me, you go to enough dog shows and you will see plenty of basenjis NOT being quiet. It is quite entertaining when they all get going together. :D

    Well that is true..this little guy just sat there, and I guess since Otis doesn't say a peep in the baroo and yodel department..I took for granted that all B's are quiet, silly me.

    I was watching (I think) Westminster on TV a few years ago…Basenji was a pretty little bitch and when she entered the ring, she yodeled. Made the judge smile and the commentator made mention of it. I don't remember how she placed, but she was called out for the short list, where they call out four or five dogs to take a second look. I don't know what the technical term is.

    Hey, forgot to tell y'all...last year, AJ made it to Westminster....Massachusettes! (the town) :D

    The five in the ring would have been the 3 Specials enteres (finished champions) and Winners Dog and Winners Bitch. The one that was excused would have been in the regular dog classes

    Laura is very nice, has very nice Basenjis and is a good breeder….

    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.

    Jaycee digs same way but she does somersaults head down over she gos first time neighbor saw it they could not beleive it. I think neighbor came over every day for a week waiting to see it again and Jaycee would do it. Yes I very much second that digging usually will cause the great B-500. Rita Jean

    Yes, Mojo is like that too Andrea. He loves to play with Auntie Sue at the shows. :) He can get a bit rough sometimes with others, but it is all in fun to him. And he has always been so gentle with puppies.

    @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

    $2000.00 for astro turf!!! Wow! I've seen that short green carpet which looks like grass and that works really well. I don't think its called astro turf though since it is much shorter. You can find it at camping stores or even Home Depo. Its not really that expensive and it is easy to clean with a hose.

    Broken Tooth in a Show dog

    One of our dogs broke a tooth on the side of her mouth that had to be extracted (the crack went straight through vertically, no way to cap or anything). I was so worried since it is one of the back teeth she used to chew things (and she loved to chew). Outside the initial healing period of a week or 2, you would never know it was removed. She can still chew through your average dog leash in about 30 seconds if you do not watch her. :)
