    @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.

    @Terry: where I got to see my first Decker Rat Terrier, looks very much like a Basenji with a docked tail! funny you should mention Decker Rat Terriers. I will be graduating Lexie from Obedience and here is a pic of her and Uzie. The first time I saw one in person and found myself daydreaming of a future family member/companion for Uzie. She sure has the moves when they are chasing each other, and so fast! Her coat is very fine and smooth, not saying I don't just love the wrinkles of my B boy! She is taller and her body is longer as well…They make a cute couple, eh? [image: attachment_p_161573_0_lexie-001a.jpg]

    @Benkura: Thanks. I've found a page on the Swedish Kennel Club site that lists dates for shows. Can I assume that Basenjis are scheduled for all group 5 days?? I'll need to get my atlas out and have a look where's where in Sweden!! :) Yes, basenjis are group 5. Google maps works great too ;)

    I have experimented with several different types. My favourite by far is a lambs leather half choke all in one. I feel I have enough control and they can't easily escape from them either!

    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.
