Puppies are only "fun" to show if you have a judge that appreciates the "fun" the handler (not) is having showing a wild thing… :D

Oh, Pat I think everyone should look like an idiot at least once in the ring!! I've found most judges (not all certainly) accomodate b/c they're puppies.

We showed to 4 judges this weekend and I can say two, husband and wife, really had a great sense of humor and were appreciative of the challenges of showing a puppy. They both made the experience enjoyable and I would gladly enter under them again. One of the judges didn't seem to be happy to be judging any of the basenjis and definately had no time for puppy antics. He was also the Puppy Group judge and didn't watch a single puppy smaller than the Harrier hound go around the ring. The last judge just kept moving Sophie's tail from side to side to see if he could find a place where it would curl right. She didn't really care but kept trying to wag it while he was trying to make it curl. His pace was brisk but I think we all got our time.

That would be the "delightful" (NOT)…. Robert Stein... On my list to NOT even walk across the street to show to him.... or his wife..... it is so obvious that he doesn't even like the breed....

Congrats, she's beautiful, I just love the B/W's more and more. She is Half Af?

I like Ringo, but I must admit, she is very nice…....Willy!!!!:D

Yes, Sophie is Half Af, her sire is Avongara Cole of Brushy Run JC. I am very proud of the whole litter and think they are all turning out really nice.
