I can get another signature for you, just fill out the application. IMO, you have really prove a value to the breed. You have learned so much in such a short time… it amazes me!! Well Done

I was thinking the same thing, you should have no problem finding someone to sign for you If you need it, I certainly will

I'm a member. BCOA is actually one of the easier breed clubs to get into. Some of the larger ones are significantly more difficult.

Our local club requires two signatures too but that's usually not hard to get. If you know a BCOA member and don't live near them you can always send an application to them via the mail.

[lvoss]

Anne, I would also sign for you if you reconsidered being a member.

[Terry]

Petra, I would absolutely sign for you! In fact, Bob and I both would, but I think there's a rule that 2 members from the same family can't both sign…

[YodelDogs]

I am a member and I would be happy to be a sponser also.

[Basenjimamma]

Awesome…will sign up here in a few then..I've been wanting to sign up for a while, but felt odd asking for "sponsors"...thank you so much guys..:D
How do I do it, just fill my app form out and send in payment, then what?

Thank you again..:D

I am not a member. Like others, I've always been under the impression that the BCOA is mainly for show people and breeders.

Since we don't know any other Basenji owners (let alone any BCOA members), I wouldn't have anyone to sign the application. Now, if we lived in the Seattle area, that would be a different matter, but I'm not sure there are even any Basenji owners here (not that I'm aware of, anyway).

Your pups breeder is a member, they would sign for you, as would I.

And again, BCOA is not just for breeders or people that show. It is for everyone and everyone has something to offer and learn about the breed.

[Rivermoon]

I'm a member of BCOA.

Also, don't forget about your local basenji clubs….they are also for ANY basenji owner.

You are exactly right!

@tanza:

How many here are BCOA members? How many would want to be? If not, why not?

I've been a member for 10 years.

[DebraDownSouth]

I was a member, not now.

[sharronhurlbut]

Debra, if you ever want to rejoin, I will sign for you.

[MacPack]

Thanks Andrea, Sharron and LVoss, I may just apply and join up. I am addicted to the breed.

[agilebasenji]

Anne, you really should join! You are such a great basenji person.

And I feel anyone/everyone who is interested in basenjis should join. I think it is only helpful to gain many different persepctives of basenji life. I feel strongly that the BCOA should not just be for breeders and tend to cast my vote for BCOA board people who are interested in more than just conformation.

So I hope to see many new members on the upcoming rosters!

[curlytails]

I am not a member, but I have looked into it and would be interested in joining.

I would be interested in some events just to witness and understand how "professional" Basenji people do things at large organized events, to see a variety of Basenjis, to learn more about the breed history and current breed activities, and to help out with the rescue side wherever possible.

I use the scare quotes because I realize it's not just a club for breeders and professionals, but I do feel like that's the crowd that a lot of the events cater to. I could be mistaken of course. And with a fairly active local Basenji meetup group, I have not been hurting to meet other B's, though I would always love to meet more!
