Bragging about Mirtillo

Basenji Showing

  • We had a show today and Mirtillo did wonderful. It was his first time in this class (youth: 9-18 months) and he became first with an 'excellent'. He also got his first point (out of three) for his Dutch youth championship. And he was second best male with a reserve CAC.. but because male nr 1 is a Dutch Champion already, it counts for a CAC. So he also has his first point (out of four) for his Dutch Championship! :D

    This was his judge report:

    Very nice young male of 10 months. Beautiful type and overall image.
    Beautiful head with good ears. Good bite. Dark eye with typical expression.
    Beautifully arched neck. Tight and straight back with good tail set.
    Good front and ribs.
    Good muscled hindquarters. Straight legs with compact feet.
    Fine coat.
    Shows himself well, but showed little movement.
    Very pleasant behaviour.

    Tillo showed 'little movement' because there was urine on the floor… He wasn't planning on walking through that... Or even near that place..:D

    And it was quite a challenge showing Tillo, because there was a bitch in heat.. Tillo was in LOOOOOOOOVEEE... :rolleyes:

    I'll add some pics later..

    Dank je, dank je :) And that's Wanyika Fauzi indeed!


  • Tillo is maturing beautifully. Congratulations on the nice win and lovely judge's report.


  • Congratulations!! Well deserved for a handsome man and such a dedicated 'mom'.

    Next time they want to see more movement, have a friend drop a squirrel in the ring.:eek: That will separate the men from the boys in the movement catagory:D

  • Yesterday evening I received a call from the breeder : our puppy is on his way !!
    They did an echography as well as a bloodtest which were both affirmative: 4 puppy's are in the making. :D
    30 more days to go:).

    I'll keep you all informed.

    SPANNEND!!!! :D

    You should start a thread, so we can all follow the news with date of birth.. pics.. and pics.. and euh.. pics :D :D


  • Huge congrats!!!


  • :D Sure, Janneke, I'll start a thread as soon as I get some news.
    As for the name of our boy: the breeder asked us, with respect to the breed, to choose an African/Egyptian (official) name for our pup, beginning with an "H". We've chosen "Hanubis Du Vieux Bry" aka "Bendji" as his call name.
    Hanubis referring to Anubis, the Greek name for a jackal-headed god associated with mummification and the afterlife in Egyptian mythology, and Bendji, the name of a hamlet in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
    Hope you guys like it too :rolleyes:

    Congratulations to all of the dogs and your daughters, sounds like they had a wonderful time. Good size entries too! My Rufus was a little 'B' when he was in puppy (still can be if he feels like it) we entertained everybody with his antics, it does get better!

    @Janneke: Let's hope it gets better… I blame myself for giving him some chewing bones.. I believe it might have made it worse. (didn't noticed before giving the bones) He's not getting them anymore for a while... We already noticed the diffirent opinions of judges. Some said: "overbite.." Like Mirtillo should never have been in the ring.. other where like: "ooh.. an overbite.. if that's all" I would say for sure that the chewing bones did NOT have any effect.. at all on that…. typically you would not notice it that much until they loose the baby teeth and start to get the adult ones and the head starts to take shape.

    @Janneke: I finally have his judge report. I tried to translate it to proper English.. but please correct me if I'm wrong.. Young breed representative of four months. Square construction. Elegant expression. Beautiful topline and outline. Splendid head with beautiful wrinkle formation. Small dark eye. Beautiful straight legs, bit stronger angulation on the hindquarter. Already beautiful forechest. Very well condition with supple skin. Moves gracefully and light-footedly. Already excellent show qualities. Beautiful presentation. I love how your shows have written critiques. This is not done at AKC dog shows so you never really know what the judge thinks about your dog unless they happen to make a comment.
