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.

    Look up local dog clubs in your area. Ours in Missouri is Greater Kansas City Dog Training Club. They have Obedience and training for shows. Hope this helps. Rita Jean

    I have experimented with several different types. My favourite by far is a lambs leather half choke all in one. I feel I have enough control and they can't easily escape from them either!

    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:)

    Thank you everyone! Ill look at the book, try to get it. I also took a look at the site. Seems like it will help alots. Thank you ill keep that in mind. Ill have friends and family come over while im working with her and express their opinions of her. I will also keep in touch with my breeder. She doesnt do shows anymore but im sure she can offer up a little information…what is IMO? idk why but i never understood that. lol The show is actually in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It is given off the the Sioux Empire Kennel Club. Ill be working with her non stop until we go to that show. I figured well just see how she does and go from there. She may be good or she may just be pet material. Id like to try either way :)
