If on the premium there are only certain breeds listed under group headings, does that mean those are the only breeds from that group that will be shown on that day?
Depends on where you are looking. Some breeds are listed because they are giving special trophies or hold sweepstakes. Or do you mean in the list where they state who the judge is?
Oh whoops, it does say breed prizes at the top. My bad. I did find where the judges are listed…and there's a judge for Basenjis for tomorrow so...I wish I could bring Zip to watch, bring her back to her showin' days, haha.
Robyn, if Carrie and I go can we find you, sit with you and bombard you with questions about basenji conformation?? Just kidding about the last part, haha :D

I might be late in the game, here. But have you seen this video? I like that they make a nod to Basenji naughtiness!

Should be… I will not be showing at our Saturday Specialty, instead will be ring steward since our judge, Wanda Pooley is who I purchased my Franie from in the Spring...
Hehehe, ok, so I saw you, but as you were with the folks on the other side of the show, I figured you were with them…we will sure get together next show site, I am sure.
I agree with everything that Pat, Lisa and Robyn have said in this thread (oh, and you too BBoy!).
For the most part, I think it is fair competition at least at the Winners Level..and to some extent the BOB level.
Where it gets frustrating is when you have someone in your area that consistantly has very nice dogs AND is well known by the judges…feels like you can't win then unless you have a stupendously great dog.
