Westminster 2007
-
WELL i was disappointed, i did my research and its come to my knowledge, that NO basenji has ever won best in show at west, and in fact has only once has a B won best in breed (group : hound) idk, im just wondering why i guess…o well...any thoughts as to why? im guessing politics!!
-
wow that brindle was fabulous! all of them were gorgeous! i love it when they self stack. yall wait, next year fender will be there. haha. he would chew the place apart.
-
I remember that a basenji won at the Crufts dog show in England a few years ago.
-
Yes a basenji won Crufts in 2001. My mum owned his auntie until she passed away.
I like the brindle alot that won BOB at Westminster, very striking! -
I was pouting (ok, not exactly pouting, just sort of) that the B didn't win BIS and my DH says "Well that's just because it wasn't OUR Basenji!". We both looked at Giz and he proceeded to lick his behind. :rolleyes: So much for that!
The people we got him from said he was a show dog with his original owners, but I don't know if that is the case. They also said he was most recently (before them) owned by a breeder. He is extremely well behaved for a stud dog that didn't get much human affection, so I guess we just don't know his history :cool: Mystery Giz.:cool:

I actually went to West this year & I took the afternoon off from work to see the Basenjis ;) and it was REALLY great because our breeder was there with one of C3's relatives! El Dorado Echo Skies (or something like that) competed & he got honorable mention :( :(
The brindle that did win the breed was very nice looking & the FUNNY thing was that when they were going to place him for his winning picture he put his paws up on the table sniffed the table & then proceeded to HOP ON with NOOOO help LOL :D LOL it was so hysterical!! All the other small dogs are placed on the tables ha ha ha!!
My little boy C3 finished & I guess our breeder didn't continue to show him once he finished. DH thinks he could've won WEST BIS too!! LOL :D :D
Us B parents have high aspirations :D
-
competed & he got honorable mention :( :(
uh…..getting an Award of Merit, or honorable mention is HUGE at Westminster! Something people brag about :)
Lucky you for getting to go! I have always wanted to, but never actually feel like traveling in February!
-
ha ha I guess I REALLY wanted the little guy to WIN :D due to the storm a lot of people were stranded with their dogs in NYC. Lots of cancelled flights.
-
was it the red and white without the full collar? that was my personal fav, but what do i know?i love that even though they are at this fancy dogshow they still jump up and act basenji-ish. :)
-
i love it when jack does that psycho thing where he jumps in a mini circle with his head stright up, lol,. like a bolt of electricity schocked him, hehe
