    The ASFA coursing Top 20 list was finally finalized, and so I wanted to recap our past year & brag a little on my girls.
    Callie & Lola both finished their ASFA Field Champions (FCh) early last year. Callie went on to finish her AKC Field Champion (FC), earn an ASFA Best in Field & Best in Event as well as an AKC Best in Field. She won a perpetual trophy that will have her name engraved on it. Callie only coursed for 3 months of this year, and managed to end the year in a three way tie for 11th place in ASFA, out of 150 dogs! Callie also earned her Temperament Title (TT) this year, as well as 6 points toward her conformation Championship (C).
    Lola is not quite as speedy as other basenjis, but she still loves coursing. She had two very notable accomplishments in coursing this year that caught me completely by surprise because she is considered the "points fodder" dog. First, she earned 2nd place in a stake of 4 basenjis and got her first AKC coursing point ever in June. Second, she was the last dog standing at the end of the weekend of a small trial, and earned the Best in Event trophy by default. Lola is the last dog on earth I would ever expect to earn a trophy of any sort, and I was so proud of her.
    Most importantly, they continued to please me every day with their good health and personalities. I hope we have many more years of fun, happiness & health together!

    Carrie & the Brindle Babes, Callie & Lola (Not Andrew)

    Jennifer I find a lot but all seems to be quoting one major study showing 21 percent of lab dogs exposed developed tumors http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3A.edu+dogs+and+radon

    nobarcus wrote you could have one of those reality shows like the Ozzy Osbourne Family only it would be all the craziness the dogs were creating That would be so funny and doopey.. Kanagan wrote He's an extremely picky eater. I cannot motivate him with treats at all. Anyone else with a Basenji like this? Otis will eat anything..except the fish my hubby caught during our trip last week..we took it into his mouth, chewed on it for a few seconds, spit it out and thn tried it again, with the same results..he just could not get himslef to eat it. The dachshund on the other hand devoured it, only to realize too late what he had done, then he had this horrified look on his face..as if he had eaten poison or something..hilarious in my eyes, not so much in Gus' eyes..Otis and Luna thought he was insane for eating the fish..it was even cleaned and filead (sorry about spelling, having a blond, foreign moment and can't think of it..), but nope not edible in their mind..

    That's great to hear all went well for you - sounds like you had a fantastic time! We don't have a dog park in my area either & I really hope we find one on our road trip this summer. About the hotel inspections - be careful with that - I'm usually up my female's rear end because I have little trust that her curiosity won't get her into trouble. The first time we stayed @ a "pet friendly" hotel, my B was able to find some random black debis on the chair, stuff under the beds & 2 prescription estrogen pills! I had just had her spayed, but she certainly didn't need all that!! ;)

    What I tell my puppy owners is that if the puppy will be crated during the day, then it SHOULD sleep with them at night. What is the sense of having a companion that is in a crate during the day, and in the crate at night? I had Caesar crated during the day while I was at work and at night because I had Beta who was the same age, but completely an out of control basenji due to her rescue background. They were crated together. Neither ever complained. Caesar complained as a puppy. Each situation is different and unique I suppose.
