Show Off Your Dog
  • Hello forum followers, I wanted to share Dude's accomplishments in his first year. He is my first dog, and we have had a lot of fun over the year. I have posted many candid photos previously, but would like to share our accomplishments in the conformation ring! After a lot of work, training and learning how to handle and show a dog we managed to earn a few points in the Pacific Northwest!

    First all-breed show, Wenatchee Kennel Club in August. Winners Dog and Best of Winners under judge Mrs. Robert D. Smith, thank you for our first point!

    Back-to-back wins at our first all breed show, Winners Dog and Best of Winners under judge Gary L. Doerge!

    Winners Dog, Best of Winners and Best of Breed in November at the Willamette Valley KC! Thank you judge Arlene Davis!

    Winners Dog and Best of Winners on the last day of the Portland Rose City Classic cluster! Tualatin Valley Kennel Club in January. Thank you judge Mrs. Carol Spritzer!

  • Awesome!! What a beautiful boy.

  • Gorgeous boy!! Congrats on your success :D

  • What a handsome boy! And what a great first year! Congrats :)

    She is really cute though I don't see Basenji. Like Shirley said, only a DNA can tell you much for certain.

    No idea, sometimes with mixes it's so hard to tell what the parentage is. I do think that your dog's head is a bit more refined than many of the pit mixes i've seen.

    I agree with the others that although he seems to have Basenji in him - his head is def. not Basenji. As for the leg I'd have it amputated if it troubles him - He'll cope with 3 legs I'm sure, but certainly consult a specialist first. Please keep us updated.

    @pacificNWbasenji: Thank you all for the wonderful comments, we think he's the greatest thing ever. So much fun and always entertaining! I beleive a lot of our red/white basenjis do have black hair on their tails, I am told it indicates the possibility of producing tri colored offspring if bred properly. Commonly referred to as 'tri-factoring' Yes, that is correct, breeding to a Tri colored or another color with the Tri Factor and you can get Tris.

    mryan, that is so cool! You are the first relative of puff we have met on the forum. Do upload some pics if you have a moment :) I know he sired a litter in California this winter and have been hoping to see pictures of them as well, calling all relatives!!!
