Weekend Shows for Tanza and Breeding News

Basenji Showing
  • One of the deciding factors were watching your girls grow up. It does not always work out that litter sisters get along, but your girls seem to. So, seems to me that whole litter has awesome temperaments. LOL, however an entire litter of "tri-ings" could be the death of me! We are excited!

  • Yes, so far the girls are inseparable. We are making sure that they go away for boarding at Tads together next month while we are on vacation, and again next yr for 3 months while whelping. Reentry is something that we want to avoid. The boys are extreamly laid back about it when we go away without them, but you know how girls can hold a grudge if one is perceived as getting something the other does not:)

    Tris are my favorite, when we are ready for our next generation in 8-10 yrs, I'm hoping it will be a tri descent of one of our girls.

  • I hear you Lisa, C-Me and Franie are like sisters, I hope that breeding C-Me doesn't change that…. C-Me is pretty easy going and laid back... she is very confident in herself so has never felt the need to push the envelope. Hope that holds for having puppies. My Mickii was the same way and when she had her pups, once the eyes were open she couldn't care less who went in to visit with them, she loved the pups and was very at ease with the others (and there were three other adults (one male, two bitches). Of course Maggii, who was not what you would call Mother of the year when she had pups, was not that interested in them. But my boy dog liked them (till they got teeth) and Kristii, who was Maggii's daughter loved them.....

    Fingers will be crossed!

  • Congratulations :)

  • Congrats on the show successes, and hope the breeding is a success! Hope some of the puppies are placed locally and I'll get a chance to meet them one of these days…

  • Congratulations!

    I still am having a hard time thinking about a whole tri litter…watch it be a litter of 8 or 9!!! Can't wait to see pictures, keep us all apprised

    LOL, not an amusing thought! :-)

  • Pat that is just what you need! LOL! A litter of 9 Tri puppies! LOL!

  • @TwinDogsDifferentMothers:

    Very funny… NOT!!! :-) They would most likely take over the house and make Ted and I live in one room!

  • If I wasn't ALL THE WAY across the states Id offer to be the human chew toy now and again. I love tri litters for the fact that few are brave enough to have them but also because their patterns are so much fun to pick out in a bundle of moving brown white and black…did I mention I can't wait for pictures?!

  • @tanza:

    Really?? I might very well take you up on that offer… =)
    I've never met a wee Basenji pup. The youngest I've encountered was about 6 months or so. It'd be a real treat!

  • You'll always remember the teeth, trust me! But there's nothing cuter than a bunch of tiny "piglets" running around looking like little terrors. Oh, puppies!!! Looks like the puppy fever is back!

    …it always comes back :)

  • Airplanes make it much closer then you think… :-)

    @evillemon said in How to start showing: @debradownsouth Yes we figured we will wait until he is at least two before we make any decisions on neutering him. I can understand why you might want to neuter a female but a male? Agree you need to wait. Most of the reasons advanced to neuter come from groups with an agenda but without solid science. Generally speaking the health risks of neutering outweigh any benefits and there is no effect on behavior. In my experience, having an intact male Basenji never presented any issues at all. Unless you just let your dog roam free I can't think of a single good reason to do it.

    re: "A sanctioned match is important though, I believe new clubs must hold a certain amount of matches in a certain time frame before they're allowed to hold regular dog shows. Sorta like a trial run to make sure the club can do everything needed to run the event and take care of paperwork appropriately. Also already established clubs will hold matches in the evening after the show, and I have a feeling they are a good money maker for the club since they already have all the equipment and everything taken care of for the weekend." This is partly true - a club however in order to maintain it's status as a show giving club has to complete a certain number of components in a given year - a match can be one of them. Do some do it for money - maybe - but I'll tell you from experience that at the end of a show - about the last thing a show giving club is thinking about it's doing more work! we're typically too tired!!!!! In any event a match is good practice for the dogs, the judges and a great way to get your feet wet. You will have a blast.

    @lvoss: If you can find a copy, I would recommend trying to get a hold of a copy of the Basenji Stacked and Moving by Robert Cole. They are no longer in print and can get quite expensive but every so often you can luck upon a copy that is reasonably priced. Here is an online copy: http://www.basenjiclubofcanada.com/BCOC-BobCole.html

    I agree with everything that Pat, Lisa and Robyn have said in this thread (oh, and you too BBoy!). For the most part, I think it is fair competition at least at the Winners Level..and to some extent the BOB level. Where it gets frustrating is when you have someone in your area that consistantly has very nice dogs AND is well known by the judges…feels like you can't win then unless you have a stupendously great dog.
