@Patty:
I totally agree with Jess about over washing - after all basenjis are perfectly good at keeping themselves reasonably clean and shouldn't need bathing every week - in my opinion too it's not good for the coat.
I'm wary of using a dremel and sometimes when one of you are dremelling at a show when I'm there I'd be grateful if you'd show me how you do it! I brought a dremel a few years ago and its still in its box unused!!!
The secret to the dogs co-operating with the dremel is bribery! Mine queue up because they want the treat.
I use the Dremel all the time at home, I have 4 B's that aren't shown at the moment! If its an indoor show and you just briefly dremel the nails they look super clean when they go in the ring!
@Quercus:
Agreed. It isn't good form to be hovering at ring entrance with any dog, really…
True. I've been at many shows when another breed is 'hogging' the entrance and the people with the breed that is 'up' cannot get through without shoving someone aside to get to the ring opening.
Thank you everyone!
Ill look at the book, try to get it. I also took a look at the site. Seems like it will help alots.
Thank you ill keep that in mind. Ill have friends and family come over while im working with her and express their opinions of her. I will also keep in touch with my breeder. She doesnt do shows anymore but im sure she can offer up a little information…what is IMO? idk why but i never understood that. lol
The show is actually in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It is given off the the Sioux Empire Kennel Club. Ill be working with her non stop until we go to that show. I figured well just see how she does and go from there. She may be good or she may just be pet material. Id like to try either way :)
Very odd…
as the judges here int he PNW shows were Bill Potter and Eric Liebes.
And none of those dogs were in the ring, except "Arrow" CH Emerant's The Navigator (as a specials dog
The super was Onofrio and show results are up at www.onofrio.com for the Timberland Valley shows.
