Maya's First Ringcraft Tomorrow..

Basenji Talk
  • MayaM

    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

    I love it when they talk and yodel. Whenever they do I always give them huge praises and lots of pets, though this positive reinforcement does not seem to yield any more yodels. I am very excited when I do get them.

    Please post pics. Love to see Bs enjoying the snow! We had some snow last year. Having spent almost all of his life in sunny Southern California, Spencer was not impressed. Not one little bit!

    I had nose surgery a few months ago and when I got home I was worried the dogs would be so excited and jump all on me, but it was crazy how mild mannered and dare I say tame/domesticated they were. I swear they knew I was hurt and gave me a day or so of good behavior. They are truly great dogs to own!

    I'm afraid If I do decide to get another I won't have a chance to introduce them beforehand as it Will probably be a puppy I bring from the US.. I doubt there will be a problem since she will be a young puppy…

    Paco sounds like a well mannered boy :) Malaika doesn't ask, she just dives in and when Reuben snaps and chases she just comes bouncing right back for more. I can see we will have to work realy hard with her. Coincidentaly my parents have just been with Reuben (Papillon) and there was a bit of improvement although she's still to rough.

    @MacPack: They are all probably teething! And the best things for teething are phones, glasses, purses…well, you get the idea. What excuse can I use for my 11 year old who still takes my wallet out of my purse (dumb human, left it on the table again) and eats it? My B is over a year old now. I got him when he was just under 8 months old. He behaved best while he was still a puppy. Seems backwards. For some reason I believe he's starting to develop more of a separation anxiety. Which seems odd because he has always been fine before. Nothing changed.
