Philadelphia dog show

Basenji Talk
  • [QUOTETrust me, you go to enough dog shows and you will see plenty of basenjis NOT being quiet. It is quite entertaining when they all get going together.
    ]

    Well that is true..this little guy just sat there, and I guess since Otis doesn't say a peep in the baroo and yodel department..I took for granted that all B's are quiet, silly me.

  • I was watching (I think) Westminster on TV a few years ago…Basenji was a pretty little bitch and when she entered the ring, she yodeled. Made the judge smile and the commentator made mention of it. I don't remember how she placed, but she was called out for the short list, where they call out four or five dogs to take a second look. I don't know what the technical term is.

    Hey, forgot to tell y'all...last year, AJ made it to Westminster....Massachusettes! (the town) :D

  • @Forever:

    There was only 5 in the ring though we did see a brindle later and talked to the owner that b wasnt there at that time

    The five in the ring would have been the 3 Specials enteres (finished champions) and Winners Dog and Winners Bitch. The one that was excused would have been in the regular dog classes

  • @Forever:

    Yes we talked to one of the Bs owners right before we left her name was Laura (Tammen's Basenjis) She helped me out alot talking to me about zoe i'm so glad I met her.

    There was a fuss after the showing that delayed the next breed (a whippet owner was very upset about that) we asked laura about it and she mentioned that about the behavior.

    Laura is very nice, has very nice Basenjis and is a good breeder….

    If the dogs are having similar symptoms as in the previous years, they need to be treated ASAP! It is my understanding that many are developing the acquired Fanconi Syndrome and need to be put on the protocol. Many vets though do not have the equipment to do the venous blood gas test and get an accurate diagnosis. Emergency vets should have the equipment. Do not buy any dog treats that come from China and if the package does not state where it is from then do not buy it! Jennifer

    @Nemo: Yep you can use a clicker for that too. I used a clicker to help me touch both of my dogs mouths, to brush their teeth, look at their teeth, touch their feet, hold their head, etc. when needed. I'll give it a try - maybe I can find a different clicker, one with a softer pop. It's funny sometimes how the cookie crumbles - I can't show Trinity, yet she's the one who lets me get right in her face, in her mouth, stands still when I want to inspect her…:p

    @tanza: Got ya…. and how nice of her to sit up and puke!!! :eek: I am lucky (knock on wood) all mine ride great... crate pads keep them from sliding around and they just sleep anyway.... Sure makes clean-up easier! I used to keep wipes in the car to clean her, esp. before shows! ew. I just layer plastic bags in the trash can, and tie 'em off as used, then toss when we get to where there's an outside trash can. I'd make video to show, but really, that'd be gross :eek: She's really good in her harness, so it works out quite well. As I said, Keoki continues to be my car challenge in terms of how to best travel with him. But he loves going in the car in general.

    Owning a basenji requires a good sense of humor and a large dose of patience and a willingness to do some creative thinking to convince the basenjis what you want is really the same thing as what they want. So true, never a dull moment with these dogs

    Hollie will hide her treats and her dog food. Her favorite hiding place is under MY pillow in the bed. She has tried to hide her entire food bowl by pushing one of her plush toys with her nose in an attempt to get the toy on top of her food bowl. Why doesn't she just use her mouth to pick it up and place it on the bowl? Silly dog!
