  • Doomsday Preppers on Nat Geo
    GeorgiaK9G GeorgiaK9

    Hi All

    We recently worked with the wonderful crew at Doomsday Preppers on the National Geographic Channel and the episode will be premiered tomorrow evening. If you have not watched the show before, it is definitely worth some of your time. Quite a bit of fun and some educational stuff to boot. I'm not sure if our B's made it on the show or not but we can't wait to see!

    Also, stay tuned for more details as we prepare for our work on a Manhunting TV show due to film later this month.

  • Capt. Arthur Haggerty Award
    GeorgiaK9G GeorgiaK9

    Hi All,

    I was surprised and very much flattered to hear that I was awarded the Arthur J. Haggerty Award from the Alliance of Pure Breed Dog Writers for my book, K9 Trailing; The Straightest Path. This is a very special honor considering the person for whom this award was named. Arthur J. Haggerty was an icon in the K9 world and his accomplishments were many. Babette Haggerty, APDW Director and daughter of the late ?Captian? Arthur J. Haggerty, will introduce me and present the award on the Sunday prior to Westminster, Feb. 12, 2012. I'm excited to meet Babette and learn more about this very prestigious group of people! Click on the link below to learn more about Captain Haggerty and the APDW.

    K9 trailing does have Basenjis in it,believe it or not, because I site some of their natural ability to use their wonderful noses. If any B people will be in Manhattan the Saturday and Sunday prior to Westminster, look me up…though I will not have my B's, I would sure like to meet some of yours!

    Here is a link to the Alliance of Pure breed Dog Writers if any have an interest:

    @krunzer:

    Uh-Oh that one is T-R-O-U-B-L-E

    Your forgot multiple exclamation point!!! :) But, this litter was all about agility and ability. What was amazing is all the pups had varying degrees of similar ingeniousness.

    Check out this video of 9 week old Jaroufa's Glamazon at Rift Valley is quite the agility queen. She went to her new home today thanks to my good friend/ driver and combat tracking mentor, Frank Merritt. We will miss the dark brindle girl but she is going to one of the top racing homes in the country and that is what this litter was all about.

  • Meet Kilo-Georgia K9's New Narcotics Detection Pup
    GeorgiaK9G GeorgiaK9

    I would like to formally introduce Kilo to the Basenji world. He was our pick of our working basenji litter. Kilo was thoroughly tested for working traits for scent detection. He is nine weeks old and begins his formal training now. This training will consist of environmental desensitization, puppy play groups, lots of play related to detection, and his first odor introduction. This is pic is of Kilo meeting Valco, a wonderful GSD owned and handled by our Kennel Master, Phoebe Bault.

    Her are a couple of vids of the pups in action…I love how agile they are at such a young age. Blows away most other breeds of dogs at similar ages we work with.

    Anne,

    Flash is a very sweet boy! Both parents are very social with people and other animals. The puppies display these traits as well. The brindle girl would probably be way too much for your older pups. She is our little instigator. However, I do believe Flash would fit in well. Let me know if you would like more information.

    @MacPack:

    That video is very neat! I hate to ask…but is the little black boy (first one) placed? Don't know why I'm asking...I have 3 and that is my limit! He sounds very sweet and non-dominant.

    If you are asking about the first black boy in the pictures with descriptions…that is Flash and he is available...sorry, I thought you meant black face from the video.

    The all black face boy has been chosen for explosives detection and is not available.:( Sorry about that. He and the dark brindle scored the highest for working and social traits, actually just about equal.


  • Working Dog Basenji Pups Waiting list

    I agree with you so much! We dedicate hundreds of hours of exposure for all of our dogs in training. Thankfully, I have full time trainers who help me do a lot of it!

    I am still working on the teasing videos but am having compatibility issues. Here is a video link to the pups first excursion into our obstacle course:

    I will answer all three questions in one if that is OK. Yes, only one had little prey drive. Based on the rest of his assessment, he will be a very good pet, show, or sport work. He does not have enough drive to work for us.

    We plan on placing starting at 8-9 weeks based on the test results. This litter is incredibly mature and it is time to bond with new homes.

    The forgiveness test is how the puppy responds to the human who just did something it did not like such as being dominated or after touch sensitivity testing. The pups that immediately come back to the human who cause the problem happily, are generally the most human oriented dogs. Pups that leave the human immediately and do not come back, are often too independent and will probably be fearful/ reactive dogs.

    We have a couple of homes on tap once the work priority is dealt with. Kelli and I are still a little undeceive as to who will be our detector dog.


  • Working Dog Basenji Pups Waiting list

    OK, Terry Fiedler came by and helped us do some filming while the puppies were tested. Kelli and I could not be present to skew the results. I am working on putting the video together now as it is quite long. Here are some interesting results for the tests and some pics to go with them. All of our tests were scored on a sliding scale of 1-6 and there were ten tests. The trailing/ tracking test could not be done due to temps in the 20's. We will try that on Friday.

    Flash: Scored very well for a friendly pet or show as he was social but independent. He had a very high degree of forgiveness and his touch sensitivity was good He was not sensitive to sound issues but his prey and hunt drive were relatively low. He is one of the faster pups an may do well in coursing.

    Small Brindle: Had good social acceptance and followed everything but was also independent. Touch sensitivity was the best of all pups and her sound sensitivity was minimal. Her prey drive is VERY high. Retrieval was low. Her hunt drive was high. She is VERY fast, jumps very high, and climbs quite well. She is the most agile puppy we have and is suitable for agility or lure.

    Big Brindle: Good social acceptance and following with some independence. She had very good results for touch sensitivity just behind small brindle, excellent hunt and prey drive, very good retrieval, no sound sensitivity. Fast and very powerful. This is a working pup prospect for scent detection but could be good for lure.

    C Monster: So named for the C Shaped collar. Had good social acceptance and following but is dominant. His forgiveness was good. Touch sensitivity was a little low with no sound sensitivity. Prey and hunt drive was very high with no retrieval. He is the biggest B/W and fast. C Monster will be a good lure dog and his looks are pretty awesome. I'm not a good show person but his markings are striking to me.

    Black Face: Scored close to big Brindle but had great retrieval which is rare in a basenji and what we are actually looking closely at. His father, Kaden, tested similarly and will retrieve all day long if you let him. This component is necessary for detector dog work at a high level. Frankly, besides C Monster, I think his looks are amazing and I am not sure how lots of black goes in the show ring but if it does, he would be a charmer. Black face is probably our working stock pick of the litter and would also do great for any sport work.

    I hope to post the video soon.

    We are conducting puppy testing tomorrow for our Basenji litter. We will be choosing work pups for detection and sports as well as just great pets. This litter is incredibly well socialized and quite gregarious. If anyone has questions please let me know. I will be videoing the testing process.
