Dog training walk


  • This morning was superb! We had a dog walk with our training. We went to the sand dunes and were with 40! dogs. We, and especially Mirtillo, had so much fun! It's amazing to see how the dogs communicate with eachother.

    Of course.. we made some nice pictures:

    Is this your front.. or your behind.. ;)

    Home again:


  • HAHAHA ! Let me guess … I think Tillo had a GREAT time this morning:D
    You can almost see him laugh !
    Once again great pictures of a great team !

  • What great pictures!

    Tillo is so awesome!


  • It sure looks like he had a lot of fun.


  • Great photos, and looks like Tillo is headed for his bed for a long nap after a lot of fun at the dunes.


  • Beatiful pictures and the air shots are great! What type of camera do you have! I likes alot!!!!


  • AWESOME Pictures!!! Looks like SUCH a good time!! I'm jealous!!

    Well, taking pictures with a DSLR camera isn't as easy as with a point and shoot or a bridge camera (like my Lumix FZ18 with a 500 mm zoom !). So many different options and settings you can choose of : this type of camera was meant for the professional photographer but as prices rocketed down they became available for the enthusiast. Superb quality but a lot of practicing and studying is required.
    But Janneke, I find them pictures VERY good. Keep on "shooting" and keep surprising us !!!;)

    No, it's not easy.. but I definitly should have used another lens ;)
    If there isn't much light.. and you want to shoot action pictures.. you need some light on that mirror ;)

    I'll keep on shooting.. in a couple of months I want to make some nice shots of 'our' little Benji!

    Oops, minor correction : BENDJI .
    Info : it's the name of a village in Congo about 40 miles West of Kikwit.

    And yes, our little boy is only 2 weeks old (which means only 5 more to go !!:D ) and I already have +500 shots !! Most of them will end in the trashcan : I've selected the continuous burst mode so pushing the release button once gives you 10 to 20 pictures of which you can choose the best afterwards. Handy. Don't know if your D450 has it.:confused:

    BenDji.. Corrected :D

    Pics are great! We have so much of Tillo (and movies), we almost have to buy an external harddisc.. ;)
    I'm now making a photoalbum of his first year.. :D

    What you can try in these conditions is to rev up the sensitivity of the camera (you remember, the ASA thing ;) ) for instance from 200 or 400 ASA to 1600 or even 3200. But beware ! The "noise" will rise too so if you want to print the photos on a format greater than A4 the noise will be very prominent so you have to compare the pro's and con's. Again, practice, practise, practise. Better take 50 pictures than to wait for the right moment to shoot. That's the benefit of shooting digital !;)

    I don't like to high ISO's, because of the noice.. especially not if you can put another lens on your cam.
    Professional photographers not only have more experience.. they also have more money to spend on lenses…. that's another BIG advantage.. Better filters.. better feeling for composition.. better photoshop programmes.. etc ;)

    She is not too old to train, but even saying that, she is a basenji, and no matter the age, a bored basenji will find things to entertain herself, often things we would prefer she not touch. A companion helps, but even so, given temptation a basenji will usually go for it. Think "baby-proof" your house with a baby who can climb, leap, dig and chew. As said above by others, toys which present a challenge will also help.

    I loved Mammoth Lakes! My B/W Nika was like that. Always looking for the spot to jump over the water. Did not like walking on wet grass. She'd tolerate a bath now and then as long as the water was nice and warm.

    @Lovelace: Really? What ones? I don't know of any that have all the criteria? I've done extensive research on the breeds, and i'm curious I don't recall any. I think Pat means lots of dogs have one or more of these traits. Those three things all together MAY be an indication that the dog does have some basenji in it…but not for sure. Because the dog could be a boxer/husky mix...and end up with right color/markings, pointy ears, a curly tail, and have wrinkle on the forehead (lots of dogs have wrinkles around the face). Rat terriers are notorious for looking like Basenjis...but the shape of their head is slightly different, and the breed was founded using some Basenji way back. Another thing to remember is that after several generations of mixing, all dogs tend to go back to a natural or pariah dog shape...squarish, brown, pointy ears, slightly curled tail...that is just the natural phenotype of "dog"...so a dog might end up looking Basenji-ish even if there is no actual Basenji there. I am not refering specifically to the OP...that dog does look like it might have some Basenji in it..or Rat terrier...but it is REALLY hard to say for sure. It doesn't matter really, because everyone is welcome here...Basenji, mix, B-look alike...welcome...
