One of the puppies from our first litter had a spectacular weekend. Ch. Taji's Rayne-Carnation JC was BOB at the Evergreen Basenji Club Specialty. I think Katie said this was the 12th show she has been entered in, and she won BOB over something like 130 other dogs! (corrected to be entry of 93 dogs 
I've tried bait and no bait in the ring. I think bait works better for Logan, but not for me. He likes it and responds to it well, but as a new handler it's a pain in the butt. I know what I'm expected to do. Doing it once in the ring is hard. I get caught up in the minute and then forget what I'm supposed to do the next. I once stacked Logan backwards on the table. D'oh! Logan is SUPER food driven and he knows if I have cookies in my pocket. That's all he'll pay attention to. Jumping on the handler is frowned upon.
Yes, I know training and time will cure it. Not there yet. Too many hobbies. Showing, breeding, MGBs, stereos, astronomy, motorcycles, family, friends, travel, house, etc. I need more time.
