Anti-basenji ASFA petitioning??

  • mauigirlM

    I just joined the ASFA Region 7 Yahoo group. It looks like we're in the process of looking for a new regional director and a couple people have indicated interest. Someone on the list posed a very direct question to one of the candidates:

    "It has been said through rumblings that there are many in ASFA but
    particularly in Region 7 that have a strong aversion to some breeds being
    allowed to run in ASFA coursing. These breeds being Pharaoh Hounds, Ibizian
    Hounds, RR, Basenji's and IGs. There has been talk of petitioning to get
    them out of ASFA. Unfortunately your name has been attached to these
    rumblings. I would need to know that I have a Director that can be the
    voice for all who participate."

    The candidate dismissed her association with the petitioning as nothing more than a rumor, mentioning that
    "In fact just yesterday I awarded a Best In Field run to a very deserving Basenji that I'd never seen before." (She was referring to Zippy, I about jumped out of my chair when I read that and then looked at the date it was written :D )

    I don't know much about ASFA as I haven't even been to a trial yet, haha…but seriously, anyone know about the aforementioned petitioning?

    AS DonC says,"the question of whether they WANT to...". I had one that after about a mile would lay down on his side and refuse to move. More than once did I have to carry that pain the butt Basenji, on my shoulders native style, home.

    Sounds like you take good care of him. Standard Process is good stuff. I assume your Doc does Nutritional response testing via kinseology(sp)? If yes, then s/he can easily muscle test if Cosamine would be good for him in addition to his SP supplement. Good luck. Host And Design

    Love it. I had seen the golden video a couple years ago and though. well of course a golden would be willing to learn that. Amazing that a Basenji actually decided it was worth while to learn that :)

    I use this brand: http://www.weatherbeeta.com/ The cover I have for Jala (standard female) is 40cm or 16" (neck to tail measurement). This cover is really warm and waterproof. Subaruthie, the hoodies you made look so cool! :) [image: attachment_p_23194_0_img_0660.jpg] [image: attachment_p_23194_1_img_0659.jpg]
