Maya's First Ringcraft Tomorrow..

Basenji Talk
  • Well, Maya is all vaccinated now and ready to face the world :p

    So… She is off to her first ringcraft class tomorrow I dont know if you guys call it "ringcraft" in other countries :confused: But anyway, its classes to get her ready for the show ring :D

    she went along last week to watch and LOVED it. And more to the point, everyone loved her. We have a lot of hounds at our classes (mostly beagles and a couple of those sausage dog things :D ) so they were very interested to hear all about her, and her breeding and they had a cuddle with her (after they were well and truely soaked in virkon! they must have been keen lol) and stuff. Maya is such a laid back baby, she just quite happily goes from person to person for cuddles!

    So, wish us luck for tomorrow. We're very good on the table. I was fortunate that the breeders spent time getting her used to standing and being handled on the table so that takes a lot of stress of my mind :) But she can be annoying on the lead, she walks well most of the time, but right behind me rather than next to me :rolleyes: Which is irritating, but she's getting the hang of it!

    I shall drag my mum along and try and get her to take some pictures/videos if possible! I always love having pics of "puppies first ringcraft" :D

    You can find a lot of puppy collars at thrift shops for pretty cheap - would never pay full price for one. I'm getting mine at 14 weeks and was told that 8-12 inches was what was being used - then at 4- 6 months graduate to 10-14 inch collar.

    What great news - she is obviously settling well. Although Basenjis have often been house trained before leaving the breeder they do sometimes regress in a new home and I'm sure you'll find Malaika very clean.

    Basenjis will go into water to play, just not to pee or bathe. Glad she had such a good time at the park. Anne in Tampa

    Jayden is super gross when it comes to what he'll eat: poop, vomit, and, if he pees on the patio, he'll lick that. Honest!!! We feed him and we feed him very well! Yucccchhhhh! Pat

    There's no animal so resourceful as a hungry basenji. They were slighted you know for centuries being last in line at the cooking pot.
