    Want to start with a thank you to Robyn of Sherwood Basenjis. She was gracious enough to teach Mauigirl & I some basics of conformation this afternoon. Robyn looked at our dogs (I only took Lola), showed us her dogs & showed us basics to stacking & handling for the ring. We learned a LOT, and she was very patient with our newbie questions as well as Lola's fidgeting. She did her best at trying to stack Lola, who didn't want much to do with it. Here are some pictures… Sorry about the size but Andrew isn't around to do help me & I'm computer challenged.

    Thanks again Robyn. I hope you don't mind us posting pictures because, um, you're in them. These are the favorite ones of Riley. I tried to make them a little smaller but it seems that didn't work out (I'll keep trying). Carrie and I have the opposite problem :)

    good body shot

    and good head and neck

    Edit: Got the size right finally!

    Thanks for the help Nicki!!

    And I loves me some brindles, too!! Lola is my baby princess, and she knows it. Spoiled rotten drama queen, as Robyn can now attest to (the whole time she was on the show lead she was hacking, coughing and choking although it was extremely loose & not bothering her in any way whatsoever other than to inconvenience her.)

    It was fun and I'm glad I was able to help you guys out. :)

    Next time we will work with Zip and Booger and try to get some pics of them.

    PS Lola really is a drama queen lol!

    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

    We're looking forward to it for sure. Can't wait for you to meet Zippy girl.

    We're bummed out that we're going to miss you at SONG practice tomorrow. Our last 2 practices each time we've wondered if we'd see you, funny that this time you're going and we're not! But we're excited for Carrie, Andrew and Booger's first official trial. It will also be Liz's first time to a trial, Zippy's first trial since May and her first time running in Open. The pups will get to watch and learn…We're meeting at 5:45am in the morning and no doubt we'll all be buzzing on caffeine. Should make for an interesting car ride with ALL of us in the van and the boys at opposite ends so they don't bicker over who has bigger balls. Should be fun and the forum will definitely hear about it when we get back :) Gotta remember to take pictures....

    Andrew says "I have the biggest ones." Oh wait… you're talking about the dogs. :rolleyes:

    He was originally called Patch but I have always liked the name Seeley and decided to call him that. I still can't decide which one(s) to keep and which ones to rehome. There are things about each animal that I really like. Every one of them could earn their AKC championships, well, except Seeley. His second testicle never dropped. :( But, his personality suits me very well and he shows a strong desire to lure course. (He reminds me so much of his dad Baron and that's what I was hoping for from this breeding.) Rainie and Blaze are the most logical prospects for my breeding program though. I don't know. Decisions, decisions.

    @wubanga: thats pretty cool , congrats, how do u get into something like lure coursing? i dont know much about it. can anyone take there basenji to one of those places? really no clue how it works, how much does it cost? any info appreciated curious if my younger one would chase it. just youtubed it, looks like great fun for the dog. i think mine are too dumb/the other too old to chase it lol Lure coursing is a BLAST! We MUCH prefer it to showing (mostly because I don't have to dress up haha). It is a very instinctual thing… doesn't require any smarts ;) If your basenji likes to chase birds, squirrels, leaves, trash in the wind, shadows, whatever, it will likely chase the lure. Both of my girls took to it the very first time they saw it. There are two organizations that we compete in... ASFA & AKC. In order to compete, you need an AKC number. If you have a rescue or, in my case, a dog registered with Continental Kennel Club, & you don't have AKC papers, you can get an ILP (Indefinite Listing Privelage) number to allow you to compete. There are a few requirements to get it (the dog must be spayed or neutered, you have to submit pictures, you have to have a breeder or breed specific rescue rep sign off on the form, and I heard today a DNA test, but I'm not sure about that... that wasn't a requirement when I got Lola's ILP 2 years ago). You pay a small fee, and it doesn't take too long to get the number. To find events in your area, check out http://asfa.org/ or do an event search on http://www.akc.org/. Be aware that you have to check the trial schedules frequently, as trials often don't get put on the website until a month before the trial. Virginia is in Region 8. Here is the contact info for the Region 8 Director. He should be able to point you in the right direction. REGION 8: NJ,PA,DE,MD,VA,WV Don Ewing (2011) 370 Bollinger Road Littlestown, PA 17340 (717) 357-9606 REG8DIR@asfa.org Lure coursing is a lot of fun for the dogs. Its a lot of waiting in really hot, really cold, windy and rainy weather for humans, but its worth it when you see your dog running all out, doing what it is built to do. Its a little tricky to find the information & trials when starting out, but once you get into it, its a little easier to find out about upcoming events. I know a friend with Ibizan hounds that lives in Virginia. I'll ask her for some more info to pass along to you.

    @Janneke: I'm a Geasy fan! He lost some weight, didn't he? He looks great! :) Yes, he did. I also think he looks great for his age :). He is my favourite. I look forward to see his and Buju's kids, but I will must wait till next summer for them.
