Pretty Miss Kayla!
-
Miss Kayla will be heading to Sweden in a few months…
but until then, she gets to learn how to be a show dog here at Khani's...
she started off with a bang... Winners Bitch her first two shows for two points... and then Best in Puppy Sweepstakes last weekend!
Here she is her first weekend out:
Saturday ~
Sunday ~
-
She's quite a beautiful b/w that's for sure!
-
She is stunning, lucky people in sweden!
-
Very nice Kathy! You can always send her here instead.
-
She is super:D
-
She is beautiful. I've never really been a huge fan of the black and whites (no offence meant to any people who own them) but Kayla is a beauty!

We are all entitled to our preferences (tricolour is my least favourite colour) as long as we leave them behind when we stand in the middle of the ring.

Exactly
Im not a big fan of black pugs but when i judged at Boston last year i gave a black Best Puppy
Was a stunning little dog.The black and whites do look very flashy, i always think they look very nice in the ring but the tris and reds are my favourites. I honestly couldnt say why
-
You don't have to have a rational reason
I gave a tri dog BIS at the Norwegian specialty, and a well marked and coloured tri is a very attractive sight. But I do like my blacks.And yes, Kayla is lovely; maybe we'll see her at Crufts one year.

Since i started showing my Basenji I have been surprised at attitude re colour of some people in the uk. Whilst i love the tri colouring, i would far rather have a healthy and typical b/w or brindle than a poor tri or red. My mother has only been to a few basenji shows, but she was very taken with a certain little b/w girl being shown at the moment - i can feel i might get talked into having one sometime in the future…

I wasnt saying that i wouldnt have a b/w if it was a choice between a good b/w and a poor tri or r/w
Or that i dont like the b/w.Just that, as we all have preferences, of the 4 accepted colours for basenjis in the UK the b/w are not my favourites. I still think they are beautiful dogs (as are all basenjis in my opinion!) and conformation, health and temperment should come before colour anyway
-
Sorry Maya i certainly wasnt meaning you - we all have our personal preferences of which we want to live with - i have too - i was referring more to breeders and judges who sort of crinkle their nose and look a bit distainful if you mention b/w or brindles.
Like you - i love Tris - especially if they are marked as well as your girl.
-
Ah, ok. Didnt want to come across as though i was saying anything but r/w and tri i dont like lol
I think the colour thing happens with most breeds as far as judging goes. I have an apricot pug - many judges wouldnt give him a second look (and have said so - they just say they dont like the colour/dont think it should be recognised) so we havent shown him much. The same with our chocolate labs, we pick our judges carefully!
I know a friend who has dobes that she shows very occassionally and she said its the same sometimes with the brown ones (not sure if theres a correct name for them!!l). Its sad that judges cant see past colour sometimes…
-
I personally prefer R/W but it doesn't mean I don't appreciate other colours, construction is more important than colour.
There's a certain little B/W bitch that lives very near to me and I have loved her from the first time I ever saw her! Probably the same one as Elscodoberman's mum!
-
She is truly a beautiful B. Very lucky family back in Sweden. I guess I should way in on my favorite color, of course Brindle is up there as #1 and if I get another one day…I want a red/white little princess..dark red..beautiful..
-
I have to say that in my humble opinion, photo's do not do the 'non reds' justice!
Having seen Tri's in the flesh, there is a real depth to the colour that is not usually born out in 2D and I would have to assume the same for Black and White's.

Hmmm, I can smell weakness! Must go off and devise a cunning plan!
-
LOL. I think by this time next year i will have enough to keep me occupied! i suppose one of each colour would be good - next time john asks what i want for my 40th birthday present i will have an answer already prepared….

And she is a good girl most of the time, for a Basenji; now she is getting over the Kevin stage. (Honestly, they do get over it. Eventually).

I think you might! Hope it works out well for you, it's an exciting time.
