Maya's First Ringcraft Tomorrow..

Basenji Talk

  • Well, Maya is all vaccinated now and ready to face the world :p

    So… She is off to her first ringcraft class tomorrow I dont know if you guys call it "ringcraft" in other countries :confused: But anyway, its classes to get her ready for the show ring :D

    she went along last week to watch and LOVED it. And more to the point, everyone loved her. We have a lot of hounds at our classes (mostly beagles and a couple of those sausage dog things :D ) so they were very interested to hear all about her, and her breeding and they had a cuddle with her (after they were well and truely soaked in virkon! they must have been keen lol) and stuff. Maya is such a laid back baby, she just quite happily goes from person to person for cuddles!

    So, wish us luck for tomorrow. We're very good on the table. I was fortunate that the breeders spent time getting her used to standing and being handled on the table so that takes a lot of stress of my mind :) But she can be annoying on the lead, she walks well most of the time, but right behind me rather than next to me :rolleyes: Which is irritating, but she's getting the hang of it!

    I shall drag my mum along and try and get her to take some pictures/videos if possible! I always love having pics of "puppies first ringcraft" :D

    You can find a lot of puppy collars at thrift shops for pretty cheap - would never pay full price for one. I'm getting mine at 14 weeks and was told that 8-12 inches was what was being used - then at 4- 6 months graduate to 10-14 inch collar.
  • 2 B's or NOT 2 B's…. That is the question!!!!

    I'm afraid If I do decide to get another I won't have a chance to introduce them beforehand as it Will probably be a puppy I bring from the US.. I doubt there will be a problem since she will be a young puppy…

    Paco sounds like a well mannered boy :) Malaika doesn't ask, she just dives in and when Reuben snaps and chases she just comes bouncing right back for more. I can see we will have to work realy hard with her. Coincidentaly my parents have just been with Reuben (Papillon) and there was a bit of improvement although she's still to rough.

    @MacPack: They are all probably teething! And the best things for teething are phones, glasses, purses…well, you get the idea. What excuse can I use for my 11 year old who still takes my wallet out of my purse (dumb human, left it on the table again) and eats it? My B is over a year old now. I got him when he was just under 8 months old. He behaved best while he was still a puppy. Seems backwards. For some reason I believe he's starting to develop more of a separation anxiety. Which seems odd because he has always been fine before. Nothing changed.
  • What's your B's name?

    There's no animal so resourceful as a hungry basenji. They were slighted you know for centuries being last in line at the cooking pot.
