    Congratulations:) You certainly have bragging rights!! Thanks for sharing, Oliver.

    How old is your girl and how long have you had 'senjis? As I've stated before in these forums, I'm a sucker for the "why/how I got my first Basenji" stories.

    Welcome, from Waukegan, Illinois:)

    thank you everyone for saying such lovely words yeah there are also basenji's here from klassiks kennel they are lovely my dog has klassiks line in her aswell.

    she's just a year and a half, she finished her title when she's 7 months old then my friend (the original owner) stopped showing her because he is not that interested with the breed.

    I got her because i have no dog to show at the moment i never thought i would be hooked up with her and the breed because i'm more into beagles. She is my first basenji and what a good way i think to start i never thought she would win a lot in a short period of time. I got her few months ago and i'm having a blast I hope she could finished her grand championship title soon. Being on the top 10 list (breed standing) in just a month of showing is truly remarkable for me I'm very thankful to my friend who gave her to me she is really a gift from God.

    I'm not expecting to have a basenji and definately i never expected heaven will give me something like her.

    thanks everyone for saying a lot of lovely words

    Yes snorky i'm very proud of her she's my first basenji maybe i'll get another one after she finishes her title and some of my beagles.

    Basenjis are really really nice to be with. the only thing i hate about them is when thier on heat they always want to find a mate. foxy(my basenji) destroyed her new cage when she was on heat geez they are really strong.

    Yours is a common problem, as Pat said if he is food motivated you are in luck. Besides the watch commands, I start by teaching all my puppies to TARGET TO MY HAND. Very easy & fast to teach. I would start by making sure every bite of food he gets is from your hand (include your oldest son in this training to overcome this fear.) Step #1 Put a treat in your hand, open palm, let him eat it (simple) repeat this several times. Step #2 Treat in open palm, move hand to left or right. When he follows it let him get the treat. Repeat both directions, up, & down. When he is following the treated palm consistantly procede to step 3 Step # 3 Put treat in palm, close your hand, if he looks at your hand, open your hand & give him the treat. Step #4 (Closed hand with treat) Move hand to left, he follows he gets treat, move hand to right, he follows he gets treat. Simple! Step # 5 Time to start moving. (Don't put the leash on since you could get tangled & you don't want to remind him of a learned behavior like dropping his head when the leash is attached.) Start with the treat in open palm & have him follow it as you move around, give treat. Work up to treat in closed hand as you move around. Be sure to hold your palm down because this is how it will look when you have a leash in your hand. After you have praticed this until he will follow you with head up put the leash on. Step #6 Attach leash, if you are good with the leash roll it up in your left hand, put the treat between your thumb & forefinger. Show him the treat & start moving, reward when he gos for the treat. DON'T let him jump at the treat, keep it right above his raised nose. Now put the treat in your closed left hand, fingers down, just above his head. Start moving, when he follows open your fingers & there is the treat! Work up to moving fast, changing direction, make him catch you for the treat (you should do this off lead too.) If you have problems with the leash, work them out beforehand. You can also start by dropping the leash & letting it drag behind. You can also hold it in your right hand until you both get the hang of it. I don't use a verbal command other than to say the dogs name & "GOOD DOG". In the Show ring nerves can kick in & having commands to remember as well as everything else can cause a meltdown. Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS) is my motto! Until he has this new behavior imprinted in his mind I would give every bite of food from you hand. Remove the dog bowl! All food comes from hands not inanimate object on floor! Best of luck, but remember that good conformation is only part of Showing in Conformation. Attitude plays a big role. I have seen many beautiful dogs who never finished because they hated showing. I have seen not so great dogs with lots of attitude finish quickley. Have fun, this excercise helps with Agility, Rally, & Obedience too. Will improve your WALKIES too. Attending an Agility or Rally class will help build his confidence.

    @youngandtired: To me that expression in the first pic looks like he is saying, "What's up everyone this is a piece of Cake! I love these pictures, and I can't believe how he has grown, seems like just yesterday you were posting pictures of your new puppy. He is very handsome, and I love the stacking. How do you teach them to do that!!!!! I would love to teach Sahara that only b/c I love the look, not to show her, I just think it looks so cool. Thanks, and yes – it does seem like just yesterday dh had that weak moment and let me bring another B home. ;) Stacking w/mine has been pretty easy. I do it just like I teach them to sit, etc. I hold a treat and tell them to "stand", and put my hand under the belly to keep them from sitting, tell them "good stand" and give the treat. Once they "get" that, I tell them to "hold" and keep them at a stand for a few seconds -- if they move their legs, I move the legs back and say "hold" again. Once they "get" that, I tell them "hold" and move their legs back a bit into position, telling them "hold". Really, only takes about twenty minutes total to get them to understand "hold".
