Coppers first points - a Major


  • Copper, Baruh's Batteries Not Needed, had shown a couple of times and was immature, didn't stack well on the table - sometimes gaited, sometimes bounced. Imagine my surprise when we walked into the ring on Saturday and voila - she was a show dog. She bait stacked, she moved out with incredible reach and drive, stood for exam on the table and darn - we got the points as WB. Of course day 2 the judge commented what a cute baby in a baby talk voice and she climbed right up to him cuddling and giving him kisses on his face - so much for show dog but it was funny.

    In the US, for AKC Championship your dog needs a total of 15 points with 2 major wins. Points go from 1 to 5pts, with 3,4 and 5 being considered major point wins. Points are assigned by groups of areas or large states, such as California is one area. Here is a link to AKC with the detailed explanation http://www.akc.org/events/conformation/counting_points.cfm

    @agilebasenji: all i can think of is "hungry, hungry hippo" anyway, congrats on his first point. did you get a pic? We sing that to him a lot ;) We also call him "Hippo-Dippo" which seems to fit ;) I did get a pic, and hopefully it will be good enough to post :)

    And if you ever get a second place in your class hang around. You may have to go back in to compete for reserve Winners. It took me a while to remember that one when I first started showing.

    @lvoss: If you can find a copy, I would recommend trying to get a hold of a copy of the Basenji Stacked and Moving by Robert Cole. They are no longer in print and can get quite expensive but every so often you can luck upon a copy that is reasonably priced. Here is an online copy: http://www.basenjiclubofcanada.com/BCOC-BobCole.html
