Bella's Mom


  • Welcome Paula! It was so great to meet you and Bella on Sunday! And she did sooooo well at her first time chasing the bunny.

    I was supposed to give you some lure coursing links but I am at work presently and have everything bookmarked on my other computer. I will post again later tonight.
    You will get the hang of the forum in no time :)
    Don't forget to post pictures!


  • Welcome to the forums and hello from another "Bella's Mom.":D Oh, and I can't wait 'till you get the hang of navigating the forums so we can see pictures of your Bella!


  • Thanks for sharing so much on Sunday…any trips to Lewis Park planned anytime soon? I definitely would like to meet up for playdates. Bella and I are planning to go to Kennesaw Mountain this weekend (weather permitting) and of course we top off each Sat & Sun at the Swift-Cantrell off leash park. Looking forward to the links when time permits...Paula and Bella


  • Hi Paula,

    Here are all the links in my coursing bookmarks folder:
    http://www.toddbirchfield.com/

    He is a judge, whippet/greyhound owner, and one of the officers for Coursing Hound Association of the Southeast (CHASE). Premiums can sometimes be found here.

    http://www.umarapiti.com/default.html

    Photographer that does most coursing events. Many pictures of Zip and Lola can be found here.

    http://www.gocoursing.com/

    This is Ruthanna Birchfield's site. This is where we got Zip's coursing blankets. She is Todd's wife and is sometimes the Field Trial Secretary for coursing events.

    http://www.atlantawhippet.com/upcomingevents.html

    A regional coursing club. They do a lot of events in Calhoun.

    http://www.nghounds.info/

    S.O.N.G. site. They have the Sunday practices. If you e-mail the secretary she will get you on the e-mail list, that is how they get the word out about practice dates.

    I think you've already been here….

    http://www.carolinacoursing.com/

    Another club.

    AKC, to search for AKC coursing events. Go to Events and Awards search on the left and select Lure coursing on the "Competition Type" drop down menu.

    If Bella doesn't have AKC registration you can apply for an ILP # for her and she can compete in pretty much any event except conformation. Carrie will be able to tell you more about that.

    Actually I'm free on Sunday, so we could have a playdate.


  • You are awesome! I think I gave my cell phone number to Carrie…or maybe it was you. I would definitely like to meet up for playdates...my cell 678-270-0403. Bella and I plan to hit the mountain (weather permitting) on Sat morn and afternoon, as well as Sunday morn and afternoon.


  • Hey Paula,

    Posting personal info is a no no. If you e-mail the moderators you can ask them to send us your e-mail address and we can be in touch that way.


  • Clearly I don't know the rules…how do I email the moderator?


  • Yeah it's ok, no worries, really.
    Um….I think they are
    admin@basenjiforums.com

    Or "Contact Us" on the bottom right ought to work also.


  • Thanks, I just sent an email to the webmaster to forward my info to you…let's see what happens. Tell Liz, Zip and the ever handsome Riley "Hi! from myself and Bella"

    Thank you for saying these wonderful things about the mature Bs. My Black Magic lived to 171/2 and only started going down the last 6 months of her life. There is plenty of love in the B's without so much of the puppitis that infects them until age 5 or 6! Cherry just wants to do what is best for these 4. So thank you for the words and send anyone searching to us to get them connected. God Bless, Dawn

    @mauigirl: Okay I actually went and found the e-mail I sent in to order the collar. The collars are from Northwind Catalog. Their medium collar is adjustable from 10" to 16" On the first collar I ordered I requested that it be 3" smaller than the medium size (Zip, girl), and the second I ordered I asked it to be 2" smaller (Riley, boy, bigger). In hindsight the medium as is would have been fine. On both of our dogs the collars are adjusted to just about as big as they can go so 13" on Zip and 14" on Riley (his is snugger going over his head but still loose around his neck). And the allowance looks to be 3" (that extra loop in a martingale that make it instantaneously adjustable) Sorry that took me so long, I ended up staying at work til 1am that night! Thank you very, very much !! It's past midnight now so I'll check it in the morning. Greetz UPDATE : Yes, they are the right size !:D

    @wizard: They look like they are perfectly matched - and neither one looks "fat". I have uploaded the contrasting photos. Go have a kick

    They also need to have plenty of available things they are allowed to chew on! They are not a dog that can be allowed to get bored while unattended, not if you value your shoes, pencils, pillows, chair legs. . . . Awesome breed,though! No doubt about it. I'm glad I stumbled into them. I'd always heard about them when I was a kid,but it was just that they were "those African Barkless dogs". That's all I knew. I'm hooked now though. Two years ago Bloodhounds were my favorite dog. Now it's Basenji all the way! There are just no other dogs like them.
