First Licens Runs

Basenji Training
  • for Panda and Jester are on the plan for tonight. Please keep your fingers crossed, that they do what they are supposed to do and do not come to other Basenji-ideas….

    Little Shakti is also going to have a Baby-run. Which means not more than 100 or 200 m in a slow speed to test, if she is interested (her mother does not like coursing, she thinks its boring).

    :rolleyes:;)

    Regards,

  • How exciting!! I have my fingers crossed for tonight! Anybody there to take pictures..? :D

  • I try my best, but as Panda and Jester are supposed to run as a team as well, I do not know, if Andreas will be able to start both of them at the same time and I guess they will not allow anybody else besides us to touch them in such an exciting moment….

    Regards,

  • How exciting..yes we will keep our fingers and paws crossed for them all to do excellent..

  • They did sooo well….

    Everything went perfect and they behaved really good. Even little Shakti did her very best to jump through the high grass and get the "rabbit".

    Pictures (watch out, it is really a lot of them) are to be found in our galleries with yesterdays date.... http://myndeklubbengallerie.seelenfreund.dk/#59.0 http://myndeklubbengallerie.seelenfreund.dk/#58.0

    Jester with the blue muzzle, Panda with the orange muzzle and Shakti "bare naked".

  • Great news. They look like they are having great fun..

  • Do you use slip leads in Europe when running your dogs?

  • some do, some don't. I was thinking about a better thing but a thin collar, because there still is a risk that the dog gets hurt for some stupid reason. I have bought some agility lead thing, as a retriever lead. But this does not work that well, if the dog is tackling the prey, so a slip lead would be a good alternative…. I think I can have someone make one or two for me, so maybe we have a new "top seller" soon.
    Specially Denmark is not very used to Coursing events. We do not have regular track racing under FCI regulations as here in DK you can bet on sighthound races. Coursing is quite new here and on August 8th the first national Championship is held. Next Year we hope to participate with the B's in a own coursing section, hopefully...

    @lisastewart: Went to another rally trial in the thunderstorms tonight, Xander earned his second Q. He was the only hound entry of the 32 dogs and held his own with the border collies and GSDs. Not to be outdone, Trog is now going thru rally class with our eyes on 4 days of rally trials over labor day at a show we are attending for the whippet specialty. Good to see a Basenji giving those BCs and GSDs a run for their money!!! Well done you and Xander! Looking forward to hearing more of your successes in the future.

    @seko: The afghan won over Uku (b/w) and over Valhi (r/w) she got a fright at the begining at the hairy giant dog behind her, stopped for a bit then ran again really well untill the afghan decided to play with her and she couldn't finish properly; the afghan didn't even get disqualified for annoying my dog and got better note :mad: That doesn't sound very fair:mad:
