BOCA show question

Basenji Showing
  • Does anyone happen to know where the BOCA specailty might be held for 2008?
    I don't get to attend this year and would love to know where next year so I can start making plans to take off. I know it sounds strange but you have to understand the job I have.

  • Texas 08, Kentucky 09.

    do you mean BCOA? Basenji Club of America?…. it is Dallas in 08 and the dates have just been changed. Don't know if they have changed the website yet, but it will be a week earlier. and KY in 09 and Colorado in '10

  • oops typo…yes that is what I meant..
    Sometimes by fingers go faster than the brain.

  • I have a basenji that I showed for a couple of years and then got him fixed. Someone told me once that you can show your basenji again once he turns 8 years old in a senior's show. Does anyone know if that is true?

    It is 7yrs and that would be in a Veteran Class, however "only" at a Basenji Specialty show where there is no further competition after the Breed judging.

    A little addition, this would be for neutered/spayed, an in-tact can be shown in Veterans at a regular All Breed show.

  • Here is a pic of my neutered Vet who won Best Opposite Sex Veteran In Sweeps at a local Basenji Specialty.

    A sort of funny story, the other day I was telling the box operator at a race meet how excited I was to be planning a litter sired by my boy. He is going to be 11 years old in December and is my first basenji and we have accomplished so much with the help of some good friends.The box operator had just commented on how handsome he was and then noticed he was neutered. You could tell for a moment she thought I was nuts since I was just telling her how I was going to be breeding him. I noticed the look and said, Frozen Semen. She looked at me, and said "Oh! I was wondering how."

    My FAVORITE Veteran!!!!!

  • Yes, and he absolutely loves getting out and showing with you at those specialty shows.

    And isn't it actually at Southfork Ranch (the scene of the series, "Dallas") which I think is Plano, TX.

    Yes that is correct it is at Southfork

  • @tanza:

    That is just so cool to me that it is there! Yes, I'm showing my age as I was a Dallas junkie…but I seriously would love to drive thru that gate and up the driveway (and if possible in a red Mercedes convertible :D :D).

    @evillemon said in How to start showing: @debradownsouth Yes we figured we will wait until he is at least two before we make any decisions on neutering him. I can understand why you might want to neuter a female but a male? Agree you need to wait. Most of the reasons advanced to neuter come from groups with an agenda but without solid science. Generally speaking the health risks of neutering outweigh any benefits and there is no effect on behavior. In my experience, having an intact male Basenji never presented any issues at all. Unless you just let your dog roam free I can't think of a single good reason to do it.

    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

    @soulmate: Never heared of these judges before. But I have to tell you, that I am quite happy with these lots of new judges no one knows already. So you never know, what you can expect….. Regards, Esther That's True! :D On my showlist there are many unknown judges! Only hope they all know enough of B's :D @ibi_n_sane: well mrs, Broecker, she judges my ibizans once on a show in the morning and later she called them back as she had to judge the pharaohhounds… she is also not very carefull and really rough with the dogs she judges. said enough? >grin< but for the group you should not care about this ;) Thanks :D For the group judgements we don't mind the judge.. But to call in an Ibizan for a Pharaoh… hmz... hahahaha (did they play in the mud the day before show???)

    He has a good hand with dog?s and is extremely knowledgeble he with several of the swedish kennel club have put their foot down when it comes to breeds that have gone to far like the Basset Hound,Mastino Napoletano etc… So our judges have now gotten order not to award these extreme bred dog?s so that the breeders will start to breed back to more sound looking dog?s.So far we have avoided any silly trends with the Basenji although a whippet kinda dog has been trying to emerge in to the show circuit hopefully that won?t be a success.One dog that I really like she has such a basenji expression is Fula Of The Congo dead but not forgotten:)

    Well, when Rally had her emergency C-section, they did not "fix" her umbilical hernia but because of where they made the incision it did get rid of hernia. So maybe because they are so easily obliterated by abdominal surgeries they don't include them on the list.
