Hound Show on Monday

Basenji Showing
  • Is anyone on here going to the Hound Show in Bristol on Monday?

    We are entered but not sure if we're going yet. If we did, it will be our first ever hound open show - after only a year of owning a hound :rolleyes:

  • I'm not going Jess, but good luck if you do!

    My next show is Bath Ch show when Pip comes out.

  • Ms. Jess: Yes, ma'am, I'll be right over…as soon as they attach the pontoons to my 18 wheels and propeller to my DOT bumper... :D

    Good luck on the show if you go.

  • Maya - I'd forgotten it was SW Hound on Monday. Who was judging? How did you get on?

  • Cant remember who the judge was, he was judging BIS though.

    We had a terrible day, got nothing. Tamu was BOB.

  • Win some, lose some. Never mind, I assume that the judge was non-Basenji especially as he also did BIS. Well done to Tamu any way.

    Were there many entries? I'm really getting neglectful of attending my 'local' Open shows. I think after all these years I'm getting jaded!!

    Good luck for the next show!

  • There were only 5 entered which is terrible considering it is a show with basenji classes on (not many of those around!!), i try to enter any that do put our classes on as if they dont get the entries they wont keep doing them which is a shame.

    But yeah, win some lose some. Tamu looked absolutely stunning and definately deserved his BOB. Maya was being her normal self, a complete princess! The show was held in an unheated cattle shed type thing, with a ring directly infront of the open door and it was bloomin' freezing! So she stood in the ring with her ears sideways (what she does when she is unhappy), shivering and looking very sullen lol. Madam does not like going anywhere unless its warm and sunny! But the other dogs managed to just get on with it and show so she was just being a princess about the whole situation i think lol.

    re: "A sanctioned match is important though, I believe new clubs must hold a certain amount of matches in a certain time frame before they're allowed to hold regular dog shows. Sorta like a trial run to make sure the club can do everything needed to run the event and take care of paperwork appropriately. Also already established clubs will hold matches in the evening after the show, and I have a feeling they are a good money maker for the club since they already have all the equipment and everything taken care of for the weekend." This is partly true - a club however in order to maintain it's status as a show giving club has to complete a certain number of components in a given year - a match can be one of them. Do some do it for money - maybe - but I'll tell you from experience that at the end of a show - about the last thing a show giving club is thinking about it's doing more work! we're typically too tired!!!!! In any event a match is good practice for the dogs, the judges and a great way to get your feet wet. You will have a blast.

    He has a good hand with dog?s and is extremely knowledgeble he with several of the swedish kennel club have put their foot down when it comes to breeds that have gone to far like the Basset Hound,Mastino Napoletano etc… So our judges have now gotten order not to award these extreme bred dog?s so that the breeders will start to breed back to more sound looking dog?s.So far we have avoided any silly trends with the Basenji although a whippet kinda dog has been trying to emerge in to the show circuit hopefully that won?t be a success.One dog that I really like she has such a basenji expression is Fula Of The Congo dead but not forgotten:)

    Ok on the 18th is Myrans debute puppy class in a KC show everything has gone so far by the plan he´s very good when I stack him can stand still for ages.Gaiting is well ok as long as I don´t run too fast yes folks I run hurts but hey i´m stubborn.But is it because he´s still young (8 months)that he starts plowing when I go too fast and when I slow down the trot looks good according to onlookers??
