    I like that! Especially the 6 heads lined up with the differences pointed out. Apart from differences in head and tail the only thing about my two that I notice as different is that Riley has more shelf than Zip. But the whole angle shoulder thing is totally lost on me. And good fronts?! Umm…Carrie and I need to go to some dog shows here.

    Let's go. If you can supersleuth it & find some, I'm all for going.

    The easiest way to find if a AKC show is going to be in your area is to do a search using the AKC event search function, http://www.akc.org/events/search/

    Select you state and the timeframe and do a search.

    You are both in Georgia, right?

    There are shows in Atlanta this coming weekend the 22, 23, 24 at the Atlanta Exposition Center, http://www.onofrio.com/jp/LAVL2JP.pdf

    Thanks for the reminder, Lisa. I'll post this on the GA Basenji list. :)

    One thing that I have learned in life is to accept that things are not all black or all white. Life is shades of gray and just because someone sees a different shade of gray than you do, it doesn't mean their shade is right or wrong, its just different. ~ Robyn Dubbert

    I'm up for going. Even if I might not really know what's going on without sitting next to someone who does….

    I noticed the "Georgia Classic" show around Sept 20-something. 94 pages of premium. I was like whoa. I'm not very practiced in reading a non lure coursing premium. I don't quite know what's worth going to for B people. There's some hound group rally and obedience, I suppose some basenjis will be in that....

    We have some time to figure it out...

    Most likely not many in Rally and OB, I don't know too many, if any in that area off hand…
    The reason the premium is so large is that the shows are called a cluster and there is a separate premium for each day of the show... you can learn somewhat about shows at http://www.akc.org/events/conformation/beginners.cfm

    I believe that there is at least one person in Georgia does Rally and Obedience with her dogs. I don't know if she will be going to the Georgia Classic though.

    I think she's on the Georgia Basenji yahoo list, she replied to Robyn's post about the show this weekend. She was going to have a female in Rally but she came in season. She's showing her pup from Ch. SunDiata's Pi R Squared x Ch. Select Lothlorien Elentari….Would be fun to meet her, don't know if she's on the forum..

    I just realized it's Saturday...oops. Looks like I'm going tomorrow.

    If on the premium there are only certain breeds listed under group headings, does that mean those are the only breeds from that group that will be shown on that day?

    Depends on where you are looking. Some breeds are listed because they are giving special trophies or hold sweepstakes. Or do you mean in the list where they state who the judge is?

    Oh whoops, it does say breed prizes at the top. My bad. I did find where the judges are listed…and there's a judge for Basenjis for tomorrow so...I wish I could bring Zip to watch, bring her back to her showin' days, haha.

    In that shot, she looks like a basenji. I'll happily decrease photo size if you want to send them to me.

    Question For Basenji Judges…

    Our Breed Council organises breed seminars in the UK for aspiring judges which they have to pass to progress up the judging lists (I was an assessor at the last one and am a KC approved judge for Basenjis). The colours are definitely gone through thoroughly and we try to have representatives of at least the main four colours, though the brindles and especially blacks are very thin on the ground and Ruby and Bryn have done sterling service as colour reps! At the last seminar there were examples of both regular and barred tris. At the moment we have no recessive blacks in the show ring and rarely do, but the colour is mentioned in the presentation with an explanation of how it tends to change with age. There has not been a trindle shown here to the best of my knowledge so we have yet to tackle that thorny issue. The BC presentation emphasises clear, rich, well-demarcated colours. Naturally some judges see colour as more of a priority than others. I do try to ensure that there is a b/w at the seminars if at all possible, as many upcoming judges may never have seen one and probably never gone over one.

    I agree with everything that Pat, Lisa and Robyn have said in this thread (oh, and you too BBoy!). For the most part, I think it is fair competition at least at the Winners Level..and to some extent the BOB level. Where it gets frustrating is when you have someone in your area that consistantly has very nice dogs AND is well known by the judges…feels like you can't win then unless you have a stupendously great dog.
