    LOVED the costume, so it was an easy vote. And, if you're looking to donate food to needy dogs, might I suggest a basenji-related rescue group especially if they give out coupons/certificates instead of the actual bag. I know Colorado Basenji rescue has a glut of dog in right now. I'd imagine Medfly or BRAT are also needy. (I just sent CBR a coupon for a bag of food that Zest won, much to Z's dismay as she was looking forward to eating the entire bag in one sitting.)

    @wubanga: thats pretty cool , congrats, how do u get into something like lure coursing? i dont know much about it. can anyone take there basenji to one of those places? really no clue how it works, how much does it cost? any info appreciated curious if my younger one would chase it. just youtubed it, looks like great fun for the dog. i think mine are too dumb/the other too old to chase it lol Lure coursing is a BLAST! We MUCH prefer it to showing (mostly because I don't have to dress up haha). It is a very instinctual thing… doesn't require any smarts ;) If your basenji likes to chase birds, squirrels, leaves, trash in the wind, shadows, whatever, it will likely chase the lure. Both of my girls took to it the very first time they saw it. There are two organizations that we compete in... ASFA & AKC. In order to compete, you need an AKC number. If you have a rescue or, in my case, a dog registered with Continental Kennel Club, & you don't have AKC papers, you can get an ILP (Indefinite Listing Privelage) number to allow you to compete. There are a few requirements to get it (the dog must be spayed or neutered, you have to submit pictures, you have to have a breeder or breed specific rescue rep sign off on the form, and I heard today a DNA test, but I'm not sure about that... that wasn't a requirement when I got Lola's ILP 2 years ago). You pay a small fee, and it doesn't take too long to get the number. To find events in your area, check out http://asfa.org/ or do an event search on http://www.akc.org/. Be aware that you have to check the trial schedules frequently, as trials often don't get put on the website until a month before the trial. Virginia is in Region 8. Here is the contact info for the Region 8 Director. He should be able to point you in the right direction. REGION 8: NJ,PA,DE,MD,VA,WV Don Ewing (2011) 370 Bollinger Road Littlestown, PA 17340 (717) 357-9606 REG8DIR@asfa.org Lure coursing is a lot of fun for the dogs. Its a lot of waiting in really hot, really cold, windy and rainy weather for humans, but its worth it when you see your dog running all out, doing what it is built to do. Its a little tricky to find the information & trials when starting out, but once you get into it, its a little easier to find out about upcoming events. I know a friend with Ibizan hounds that lives in Virginia. I'll ask her for some more info to pass along to you.

    @Janneke: We're still in Sweden :D :D We're illegally using someones internet :D :D :eek: (this forum is addictive….) But the trip is great :D The show was very nice, lovely to see so many dogs I only 'know' from the pictures and talk to the people behind the dogs :). Tillo did good as well, he was placed 5th with an excellent in his class of 11, of which I believe 6 got an excellent. AND Tillo was nice to the judge :D Only running like crazy in the ring.... :rolleyes: And now I know how stupid you feel when you are in a show ring in a different country with different show rules and a language you really don't understand... And people just keep on talking to you in Swedish :D :D Ahh right I thought it was a bit soon for you to be back lol. Well done on Tillo's placement:D Ahh the language problem, it makes things interesting doesn't it;) Glad you are having a nice time, hope you have taken lots of piccies for us:D

    @hdolbow: LOL ! of courseeee!!!! when doesn't rocky make those devil noises!? i really think he is a little demon. lol One of these days I am going to have to tape the sounds she makes. It cracks me up! A little scary for other people, my mother-in-law was scared of her the first time she did it. Anymore I just tell her no and knock it off and she normally does!
