Weekend Show

Basenji Talk
  • Last weekend was the CLub Canino del Norte's annual dog show in Santiago, in the north.. It is not a very big show, the ones in SAnto Domingo are bigger. There were 63 dogs in all. and only one basenji.. Ayo, who showed very well in the breed , and group shows, he behaved perfectly,of course it was just him. We got full points, best of breed and best in group, so we went to the best in show, where, ( and i am not surprised, because i haven't had a chance to practice with other dogs), Ayo was a mess. He would not stand still and would lunge forward and backwards towards whatever other dog got near….. But it was great fun. and the second day he didi much better than the first. Now I will join a practice group here in Santo DOmingo, to prepare for the big four day international show next month!!!

  • Well done, congrats!

  • Congratulations and how typical of a Basenji to let you down at the last!!! It sounds as though you enjoyed yourelves.

  • 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!!!!

4/4

    @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….

    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!

    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. :)
  • What a weekend.
