A little show brag

Basenji Showing
  • I haven't been able to enter too many shows in the past few years so when I bit the bullet and entered a local 4 day cluster of shows, the butterflies started swarming. Amazingly, once I stepped foot into the ring Thursday, everything sort of just fell into place. This was an outdoor show and it was windy, cold, and damp but Bindi showed very well all 4 days. She went Winner's Bitch and Best of Winner's Friday and Saturday and got 2 points closer to her championship! I am so proud of her! Now it seems I have been bitten by the show bug and I can't wait for the spring shows to get here so I can compete with her again!

    Kudos to Bindi's personal fan club Nicky and Liz (Mauigirl), Carrie (Andrew), and my best friends Steph and Chris for coming by to cheer her on!

    PS Bindi loves her new coat from Carrie and Nicky! Thanks guys!

  • WOOHOO…. Robyn and Bindi... way to go.... that is great....

  • Congrats all around Robyn! I knew you could do it!!

  • Congrats! It is addicting! :)

    @evillemon said in How to start showing: @debradownsouth Yes we figured we will wait until he is at least two before we make any decisions on neutering him. I can understand why you might want to neuter a female but a male? Agree you need to wait. Most of the reasons advanced to neuter come from groups with an agenda but without solid science. Generally speaking the health risks of neutering outweigh any benefits and there is no effect on behavior. In my experience, having an intact male Basenji never presented any issues at all. Unless you just let your dog roam free I can't think of a single good reason to do it.

    Thank you everyone! Ill look at the book, try to get it. I also took a look at the site. Seems like it will help alots. Thank you ill keep that in mind. Ill have friends and family come over while im working with her and express their opinions of her. I will also keep in touch with my breeder. She doesnt do shows anymore but im sure she can offer up a little information…what is IMO? idk why but i never understood that. lol The show is actually in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It is given off the the Sioux Empire Kennel Club. Ill be working with her non stop until we go to that show. I figured well just see how she does and go from there. She may be good or she may just be pet material. Id like to try either way :)
