Thanks guys, I really appreciate the answers, and I now have a couple of things to do, to try to get rid of the mark on her neck :). I will keep you all updated… Just to clarify I NEVER have collars of any description, left on any of my dogs. I have heard some horrendous stories about dogs hanging themselves, etc, etc, (as many of us have heard, Im guessing ???), so I wont leave a collar on any of my dogs, ever... This choker is only used on her on show days... I feel I need to keep her on it though, cos she is quite a difficult, (read: headstrong, stubborn, and very much "I will do this MY way", type of attitude :D:D), bitch to show. Having said that Olivia is now showing her, and at the moment they are doing quite well together, so I might show her on a soft leather lead I have...

Congratulations! Great pictures of Geasy & Bujumbura. Steve.

Congratulations!

Congratulations and good luck for the future! I know what you mean about getting a little discouraged. We have been there also! Steve.

Great news, well done Jess and Maya! I know what you mean when you say (spoilt little princess), my Poppy is just the same! They can get away with murder if they keep winning.:D

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 am glad that is all taken care of.

@Buana: Sorry to hear about the growling Janneke, but the report is very nice! Great pics of mister handsome :) Thanks for the nice comment :)

I thought I had put Olivia in there too…Sorry Olivia, you are on fire too...burning hot..

Congrats!!!!!! :D

If it had been a bottle of Gin, she would have had a fight on her hands, lol.

Good going Miss Vanda, I can't wait to see how it went..

Great news way to go I also am proud for you. Rita Jean

@vstripe: How many basenji's are at specialty shows I have never been. I went to a small dog show in southern california and I think there were only 12 basenjis. My B and I had a nice time watching the show. We had over 60 Basenjis for our Specialty weekend.

@Rita: Thank you Pat we had walked her many times but it must not have been enough at least it was not poop thank goodness. I have never been around a breed of dogs that most if not all females of that breed were in season at same time. Rita Jean Yes, makes it quite an "impossible" situation… especially for the males...

Congratulations to Ochre :)

Thanks ;).

Pat thanks good to know he is nice. Rita Jean

What a wonderful win for you and your up-and-coming!

@basi: Good luck to you both Petra & Irena, look forward to seeing the pics:D Many thanks! I think we will need that :D. There are going to go 72 Bs, Masai has another 8 boys in the youth class and Petra's Mody has 15 :eek: another girls there! I will try to take tons of pics :D.
