Mirtillo's first shows: May 1 & June 1


  • Mirtillo will enter his first show on May 1. It's 'just' a clubmatch, but great for practicing. On June 1 Mirtillo will enter a puppyshow. There will be 180 puppies! :cool:

    This wednesday we'll go to our first showtraining! We're very excited!

    Good luck with Myran this Sunday!!

    We're not coming to the Basenji Speciality this year, because of the strict import rules of Sweden.. (rabies vaccin, we haven't vaccinated Mirtillo yet.. for rabies) and because we were there in February already.

    We are planning a trip to Sweden for 2009.

  • @Janneke:

    Her first show is in July at Schoningen and is actually the judge who judged Basenjis at Crufts this year so I won't have the language barrier this time;)

    I only have until Mid November of showing her across here before we go back to the UK so I will have to try and get her to as many as poss before we go.

    Haha, I thought the Germans were pretty good in English :p

    So your leaving Germany in November? Does Kwame have his German Ch already?

    Most of the judges do speak English really if they know that you are English;)

    I am hoping Kwame will get his title at Dortmund in May if not hopefully he will get it before we leave.

    I'll cross my fingers for you and Kwame too :)


  • Mirtillo and I had our first showtraining yesterday… Haha.. It went... uh.. great.. NOT! He was soooooooo distracted! But we had a lot of fun and I think he will get the idea pretty quickly.

    When we got home he was so tired.. he slept like.. a baby :D

    Ah bless him:)

    I'm sure he will get the idea. I am having to do the ring training at my puppy socialisation classes aswell as at home as I don't have any ringcraft classes round here:( and she needs to get use to the distractions when moving.
    The people there probably think I have lost the plot. She is starting to realise that she has 4 feet not just 2 so is starting to get the idea a bit:rolleyes:


  • Janneke
    I will keep you posted how it goes with Hormonal Harry aka Myran ;)

    @ibi_n_sane: how funny, never heard of that, makes me wonder why they should not need teeth for eating veggies? they need to chew them too right? :confused: yeah…that is a load ;) that would mean that cows, horses, gorillas? wouldn't need teeth... I agree that dogs probably shouldn't be penalized for missing an incisor...but does it lead to missing molars (big problem for crunching bones)...and missing canines (big problem for catching prey)? I don't know, because I haven't run across more than one Basenji that was missing an incisor.

    @tanza: Great video… she looks good and typically "puppy"...gggg One pointer for you, when trying to move her front legs on the table, move from the elbow instead of mid/lower leg... she is less likely to pull it away from you.... Thanks for that! Will try that next time :D And yes the breed ring was tiny, and Maya (when she actually gets going) has such a long stride and trots out quite fast so it wasnt ideal. But better than being out in the rain :) Thanks for all the nice comments.
