New to Showing Basenjis

Basenji Showing
  • Im new to showing basenjis and have a 5 mo. old. I know that tails get trimmed but was wondering if anyone shave the insides of the ears and the hind end. would appreciate any tips as well. Also does anyone use chalk to brighten the legs up? Thanks.

    @cashh - Just curious, did you have your dog excused? Typically it is because of being lame in the ring or not letting the judge to exam the dog?

    @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.

    I trim tails, whiskers. I do chalk then finish with a shine spray or wipe.

    @irena: Yes it is Jenson's granddaughter :D. Actually I don't know why he got VG, he was nice judgement and there weren't written nothing so bad…..:confused: whooppieeee it means to me that Jenson really inherited very very very well!! I am very pleased with that, means he is worthy as a stud! I hate critiques like that, sometimes it really makes no sense :-(

    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
