Ayla is Sherwood's Jedi Master. She was bred by myself and is owned by Steph and Chris Johnson and myself and was handled by me. Ayla has had a couple of bad experiences in the show ring but we plan to get her back in the ring this Spring.
She was born January 1, 2009. Since she was the only surviving puppy in that litter I repeated the breeding. The two males I have listed in the Basenjis For Sale Or Wanted section, Rainie and Spot, have the same parents as Ayla.
Thank you for the link explainig the points system, Pat, I've printed it off - I find it much eaier to digest from the printed page - must be a symptom of age!

Sounds like it went well! And keep in mind, the handler can always request from the judge that they show the bite. I have never found a judge that refused that request.
I never request… I just put my hands on the mouth and lift the lips before the judge asks... no one has ever said a word to me about it.
Usually they just thank me for being so efficient! It is something that will settle him down if you are working with him on a table and checking his bite daily... then he knows you will do it and it won't bother him.
Also let others check his teeth and give him a treat... makes it all fun for them!

Welcome! I'm so glad you joined! There have been some litters posted about frequently here, so many of us have been following along. We knew when the pups were due and got to see them grow up in pictures…..Very cool that that process can and does continue after the pups join their families.
I agree wholeheartedly… Mega cool!! I'm so happy to see you here, too!:cool:
