    It feels like I havent done a Maya update in ages so thought I probably should!

    She had her first show since December in March - Crufts. Complete disaster :eek: i cant even bear to think about it never mind speak about it :o But still somehow managed to come away with a 2nd in a lovely class (the winner won the CC and BOB!). She hadnt shown again since Crufts until last weekend where she went Best in Show :)

    Heres some pictures taken a couple of days ago:

    From her show at the weekend where she went Best in Show

    And her daughter Evie who has done no showing :p But I cant help showing her off!

    Ready for the showring?? :p

    The pics below were taken today!

    Maya has adopted her and tries to feed her!!

    And wash her:

    But mostly she just cuddles her :)

    Congrats, Maya! And you're such a sweetie, too!

    Great pics! My fav is the 3rd one from the bottom - I love the way she sits and at the same time, her front right leg is hangin' on to the little one! :D

    Great photos as usual Jess. Maya has always been a favourite of mine and i just don't know why she hasn't done better. A shame but she is beautiful and you should be very proud of her.

    Awww, thank you :D

    Everyone keeps telling me she should have been a champion long ago, and that if she had been with a well known handler she would have been, etc etc etc :rolleyes: But, I have always shown her and always will, if she never gets the other two tickets thats ok and if she does thats even better, but i'd want to know she got them for being the best dog there, not because the judge knew her handler. Theres plenty of dogs in the world who should have been champions and never will and just as many who shouldnt be that are :) Maya has done well enough in her stakes classes against ALL breeds to more than prove her worth to me :D I would be proud of her if she never won a single class anyway, she's my little princess :D

    @tlish:

    mine too! she looks like she is just chillin', watching tv, and holding her little baby.

    Thats exactly what she was doing actually! Girl knows how to relax :p

    Thanks everyone! :D I like to think Maya has it pretty good, but of course she always finds something to complain about. Put her in her crate for a couple of hours earlier to spend some time with the parrots and I think she'd have phoned the RSPCA if she could - the cruelty! Infact, with the noise she was making they could probably hear her without the need for a phone lol! And she's usually an angel in her crate, little horror wanting to do some more parrot hunting :D Una is a friesian Holly :D My dream horse, my very own black beauty :D Thats not the most flattering photo, they are a stunning breed :) Maya has always had her long legs, but they all grow differently, im sure Binti will catch up in no time :)

    @Kipawa: Jess, I don't think Maya has a problem with weight, either light or too heavy. She looks very good. As long as you know she is eating wel, is healthy and is exercising, don't be too concerned. I realize their IS a standard for the basenji, but they are living beings that can't always match up to a picture in a book. She is a very, very good eater. She LOVES her food and its often more of a problem to keep her weight down as she will steal anything she can get hold of :rolleyes: Since having a basenji I have learned that they are worse thievess even than labradors!! :eek: I was defrosting a chicken last week and noticed it had disappeared from the kitchen worktop.. where do i find it? Outside with Maya and she'd eaten about half of it :rolleyes: She is a pig!! I walk her for about 2 hours a day now, most of which is offlead running (we walk to the horses fields and back each evening so she spends a good hour running around the fields and woods and farmland!) so she has quite a lot of exercise compared to some im sure, but if she didnt have that she would be a little porker cos she eats a lot :p But at the same time, cos she has so much time running around burning calories I do need to make sure her food intake is high enough. She is definately the highest energy dog i've ever had :eek:
