Maya & her Pug and Lab At a Show

Show Off Your Dog
  • Well, in the end we decided against taking Gracie Pug along. She will have lots of shows coming up, but little Delilah doesnt get to go to any so i thought she might enjoy the day out more! And Meg the lab went along for the day out as well. The morning started with your typical household disaster…. We got up, and i was just carrying Maya across the landing to carry her downstairs and stood in the pug bed that they'd dragged halfway across the landing... I didnt realise as i stood in it that one of the evil puglets had left a half chewed cow hoof hidden in the bed... Very craftily chewed so it had some lovely sharpe edges, and of course you know whats coming!! All of my not inconsiderable weight on one foot right ontop of the cow hoof!! OUCH is an understatement!! I was quite literally hopping! Maya thought it was all very amusing but it did actually take rather a huge chunk out of my foot so im walking with a terrible limp at the moment :rolleyes: So of course, hobbling around a very large agricultural show was not much fun but we'd gone and i wanted to give them a good day out. Maya's favourite places were around the Show Jumping ring, and in the Poultry area. She would like a tiny hairy-footed chicken i think :p

    Anyway, here's some pictures from around the ring. Maya won AVNCS Hound Puppy and Hound Puppy Group 3 :)

    Maya being elegant as ever.. She ALWAYS sits like this!!

    Delilah was having a read of the Basenji club show schedule!!

    @Kipawa: Jess, I don't think Maya has a problem with weight, either light or too heavy. She looks very good. As long as you know she is eating wel, is healthy and is exercising, don't be too concerned. I realize their IS a standard for the basenji, but they are living beings that can't always match up to a picture in a book. She is a very, very good eater. She LOVES her food and its often more of a problem to keep her weight down as she will steal anything she can get hold of :rolleyes: Since having a basenji I have learned that they are worse thievess even than labradors!! :eek: I was defrosting a chicken last week and noticed it had disappeared from the kitchen worktop.. where do i find it? Outside with Maya and she'd eaten about half of it :rolleyes: She is a pig!! I walk her for about 2 hours a day now, most of which is offlead running (we walk to the horses fields and back each evening so she spends a good hour running around the fields and woods and farmland!) so she has quite a lot of exercise compared to some im sure, but if she didnt have that she would be a little porker cos she eats a lot :p But at the same time, cos she has so much time running around burning calories I do need to make sure her food intake is high enough. She is definately the highest energy dog i've ever had :eek:

    @Patty: I especially love the pictures with Poppy - Maya looks as though she is trying to let her know who is boss! Oh, no not at all! :D She was trying to get her to play, but everytime Maya bopped her on the head Poppy screamed at her and Maya ran away :rolleyes: She is probably one of the least "bossy" of my dogs but is definately the most playful and thinks that everyone wants to play with her, which in this case they didnt.. Poor Poppy!

    @Maya: Oh yes. That is her purpose in life :D Or at least, thats what i tell her. SHE thinks her purpose in life is to eat, have walkies and then go to bed :rolleyes: But, bless her, she was bought to be my little show girl so fingers crossed for her in a couple of months :) Oww I think she's a winner :D… I just showed my mom your pics... she thinks she MORE than beautiful ;) (she said.. ahhhh what a sweet B.. she is soooooooo georgeous... don't you want such a tri also...hahahaha)
