  • OK so I'm being a kind of proud dad. appease me a little

    Jocelyn got her 5th Junior Showmanship win on Saturday, which qualifies her for Eukanuba National Championships. That has always been her "accomplishment" goal since she moved into Open Class. Then on Sunday she got her very first Best Junior Handler over about 30 kids which was goal of about eight hours, hehe. So now she has Westminster in her sights. With about a dozen more AZ Jr rings before the qualifiying deadline, we may need to start a plane ticket fund.:D

  • VERY cool!
    Does this mean we get to look forward to seeing her on television one day?

    @ibi_n_sane: how funny, never heard of that, makes me wonder why they should not need teeth for eating veggies? they need to chew them too right? :confused: yeah…that is a load ;) that would mean that cows, horses, gorillas? wouldn't need teeth... I agree that dogs probably shouldn't be penalized for missing an incisor...but does it lead to missing molars (big problem for crunching bones)...and missing canines (big problem for catching prey)? I don't know, because I haven't run across more than one Basenji that was missing an incisor.

    @Janneke: Will you also let them run the next day? I don't know as they have never run before.

    @youngandtired: To me that expression in the first pic looks like he is saying, "What's up everyone this is a piece of Cake! I love these pictures, and I can't believe how he has grown, seems like just yesterday you were posting pictures of your new puppy. He is very handsome, and I love the stacking. How do you teach them to do that!!!!! I would love to teach Sahara that only b/c I love the look, not to show her, I just think it looks so cool. Thanks, and yes – it does seem like just yesterday dh had that weak moment and let me bring another B home. ;) Stacking w/mine has been pretty easy. I do it just like I teach them to sit, etc. I hold a treat and tell them to "stand", and put my hand under the belly to keep them from sitting, tell them "good stand" and give the treat. Once they "get" that, I tell them to "hold" and keep them at a stand for a few seconds -- if they move their legs, I move the legs back and say "hold" again. Once they "get" that, I tell them "hold" and move their legs back a bit into position, telling them "hold". Really, only takes about twenty minutes total to get them to understand "hold".
