Max


  • Max, who often shoots himself in the foot in the show ring, was dead on at the Evergreen Basenjis Club Specialty.

    He was Best in Maturity, an event reserved only to the previous years Futurity participants. Not to my knowledge has a Futurity winner has gone on to win the Maturity, but Max came close, he was Reserve in Futurity the year before.

    Now if were can get him over his anxiety attacks he is struggling with at all breed show.

    And yes, this is a field dog, check out his Lure Coursing photos in performance section.

    And yes, those are my shorts and sandals, my dress down show attire.


  • Congratulations to Max.
    He is stunning!

    {Aside from Jazz} Max is my absolute favorite.
    Not only is he beautiful, he has personality plus!


  • Max continues to do it the hard way, Best of Breed at the Olympic Kennel Club, August 19, 2006, from the classes for his first major, in spite of his antics.

    His performance in group was even worst. He worked himself up into a frenzy, wanting out of the ring, too much noise and commotion. Highlighted by the complement I received on how well I handled the situation.

    Nothing more fun trying to show a dog under a panic attack, thank goodness he does not have any aggressive tendencies.


  • Max is gorgeous! Congrats on those nice wins! What is his registered name?


  • Hey what is Max's pedi?


  • Max is Jumoke's American Dream

    Am Ch Jumoke-Quita Dreamcatcher JC x Jewel Hill Of The Nile

    His pedigree is in Sally Wallis's "Basenji Pedigree Search"


  • As I've said before, He is stunning!
    And as far as the antics in the ring, well….they sure add some spice!

    The judge that day seemed {to me} to be quite taken with him.


  • he's beautiful and did I read that correct he is just now showing as an older dog having already coursed to title?

    I love how they put MAJOR on the showboard for the picture. Wish photographers would do that more often. Also wish when you earned a major it was a little different color ribbon then just a solid purple.


  • What a gorgeous fella you have. I feel left out, having a basenji mix I don't get to participate in shows. Could run in practices at lure coursing but not in trials. Oh well, I love my basenji/whippet mix anyway!!


  • max is sooo gorgeous! so is his daddy! max seems very sweet and playful too. handsome dog. go jumoke!


  • Max is absolutely stunning!!!!!!!! I just love a gorgeous brindle!


  • You oughta see him in person – stunning, as you said, with personality PLUS!


  • My husband and I have always loved the dark brindles, there are just so few around here. Would love to find one, Rocket would love a little sister!

    I've tried bait and no bait in the ring. I think bait works better for Logan, but not for me. He likes it and responds to it well, but as a new handler it's a pain in the butt. I know what I'm expected to do. Doing it once in the ring is hard. I get caught up in the minute and then forget what I'm supposed to do the next. I once stacked Logan backwards on the table. D'oh! Logan is SUPER food driven and he knows if I have cookies in my pocket. That's all he'll pay attention to. Jumping on the handler is frowned upon. Yes, I know training and time will cure it. Not there yet. Too many hobbies. Showing, breeding, MGBs, stereos, astronomy, motorcycles, family, friends, travel, house, etc. I need more time.

    @Roux I have to live with the dogs 24/7. The judge sees them for maybe 3 minutes. My preference tops his/hers !
