    Welcome! Your story reminds me of when I was showing our Bella (Ch Taji's Closing Bell at Quercus JC)…when she arrived at our house at 8 weeks, I wasn't pregnant...by the time she had been here a few weeks, I was! But I was still committed to finishing her (crazy!). So luckily, at her first weekend out, she won two majors (whoo...half done with points, half done with pregnancy!) We showed at several more shows that summer, until she was withing striking distance of her Ch. I didn't want her to finish before the National (how often does THAT happen to a person?). So in September (I am 7mos preg at this point) we drove from Ohio to Oregon and back! When we got home, my pregnancy got a little more complicated, so no more shows for me (even though I told my doc...but, but, I already entered, and it's a major, I can't NOT show!) I had Ethan in November, and by December I was ready to show again. Bella finished at her first show back out, I was exactly five weeks post partum! When I had her winning/finishing photo taken, I asked the judge if he would mind in I held my son in the picture, because, well...he had been in all of the other photos of Bella winning her points ;) He smiled, and happily agreed!

    Glad to have you here! Who is your boy's breeder?


  • Congrats and Congrats! Oh yes, Welcome too! Send pictures…we love pictures...of all babies...fur and furless alike!


  • Thank you guys! We are very proud to have simba in our live. My daughter Audrey absolutley loves him. she smiles at him all the time. and laughs when he comes over to lick her face. His breeder is A. Tad Brooks of Meisterhaus Basenji's! I am very thankful for him taking simba to the shows and finishing him.:)


  • Congrats August for Simba's Championship and for the birth of your baby girl, Audrey. We might be neighbors in Michigan - Livonia. There is also another member here from the Plymouth area that has Meisterhause Basenji. Same breeder, maybe. Welcome! This is a fun forum with lots of tips and info. Would love to see some pics - bet they're both real cuties. ;)


  • Congratulations on your new champion and on the birth of your baby! :)

    @saba: We have this award here in Australia. Obviously it works in a different manner, but it was intraduced for exactly the same reason the AKC is introducing it… I.E. To encourage the better dogs of the breed to remain in the ring. Actually, the GC in AKC shows has nothing to do with quality. It is solely for the revenue it can possibly generate. Quite frankly, I think it is rubbish. A dog can get a GC having NEVER won a Best of Breed! Seriously… if the dog is that good, it should at least win some BOBs. No, it may not be a dog being campaigned, but why should they get a higher title without attaining something golden ??? As it is, if a class dog wins breed, they can't count those points towards the GC, as they aren't yet finished. I agree with Lisa... why spend y money as point fodder for someone campaigning and wanting the numbers of rankings? Might as well use that money on me or my dogs elsewhere!

    Oh, I would love to see him in the Specials - unfortunately, our cousin, without reading the Events Calendar, can you imagine :eek: - decided to get married this weekend so we will miss the Palm Springs shows. How inconsiderate of her, LOL But I hope to see Deb at the club meeting; she'll have big brags! Terry
