    Yesterday we got our The Basenji magazine. I had paged through it but hadn't really taken a close look at it but had it sitting on my desk when my husband got home. He picked it up and thumbed through it stopping at the stats page that lists all the standings for various organizations. He then says to me, "Hey Cole is tied for 16 in AKC lure coursing, hey, Rio is in 10th, how is she is beating her brother?", "I didn't think we did all that much racing this year, how did Rio get to be 12 in NOTRA?", "Hey, Cole is in the top 20 in LGRA and ASFA."

    Today I sit down and open my email and have a message from my mom, Cole's owner. She just got her The Basenji magazine today and writes, saw the Kinetic kids in the Top 20, 2 in AKC, 1 ASFA, 1 LGRA, 1 NOTRA. Apparently she and Sam have the same reading habits.

    Funny thing is, I usually look at those stats pages last so who knows when I would have actually noticed. They are not the year end stats but still pretty cool to see.

    @eeeefarm - Totally agree with both of you, while I don't do the "restrain the pup", but if it works great and in a pinch it does work for me if really needed. When we have pups (babies) and Mom is tired of them and puts herself in a position that they can't reach her, they turn to the next adult in the house.... same thing will happen if they get over excited and yes, I have seen Basenji Moms, pin the pup to the ground and/or other adults in the home.... so it is something that a pup understands. Walking away works for me... or I try to change up the "game" by turning to working their minds and getting them to think about other things. In the Basenji Breed this is another way of teaching them that the prior behavior is not acceptable. They learn pretty quickly. Thanks for posting this thread eeeefarm... well needed...

    Sarge uses his cell phone and calls me.....seriously, it depends on the door. One he can open himself by pulling down the handle the others he just scratches.

    I have a lunge whip, which we've played with ever since I got her. She loves it. I tried her at it on a small course back in July at our club picnic (here's the video, I've posted it before. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gl6NAGvjow) and she took off like a crazy girl. That was her second time doing it that day. A few months before that she was a little unsure of what to do. So, it sounds like to practice her a number of times to get her highly focused on the lure. I'm guessing Sue might be going to Racine in August, but if you're there too Lisa, I'd appreciate any input on her "focus" if she gets to do some practice runs. Clay
