Lola's first trial

Basenji Training
  • GO LOLAAAAAAAAAAA!

    She sure photographs well. If I didn't know any better I'd think she pauses in the "flying" position.

  • Congrats! Way to go Lola! Good luck tomorrow. It's addicting isn't it? :)

    Beck is a nice guy, Roxie got to run with him at her first trial this summer too!

  • Congrats!! Looks like Lola has lots of fun running :D Beautiful pics!

  • Very cool! Congratulations!

    My B's also love coursing, but unfortunately we have to drive about 300 km to get to the next Sighthound Association which offers free Coursings. Currently I am thinking about buying my own "Rabbit in a Suitcase" to allow my dogs coursing at the beach….

    Regards,

    Esther

  • That is so awesome! Congrats! You must be super proud of your lil girl.

  • I love the pictures! Thanks for sharing! She is so graceful when running.

    I am jelous just looking at how much fun she is having as we have to wait until May or when all this darn MN snow is gone :-)!

  • Congratulations Lola - hope you have many more wins!

  • Yay! Way to go Lola!

  • Thanks for all of the congratulations! Today was our third day, and she had 2 more great runs! She was the only basenji, so she got 1st & BOB again just for completing her 2 runs, but she had a TON of fun & her scores were great again!!!
    I took Booger & let him do a practice run. He's a huge flake, so I didn't want to pay to enter him. He ran a few yards, got bored & started running around. I ran with him to help him find it again, and he chased it a bit more until he found a tree that needed to be peed on. He had a huge grin on his face the whole time though so it was worth it just to run with him & see him having such fun!

    And Mauigirl…. Lola flies or sleeps. Those are her only two modes. Haha.

  • I made a Photobucket album of this weekend. There are pictures of Beck & Lola & one picture of Beck's new puppy sister, Bon-Bon (her real name is pronounced Bonmee, but I don't know how to spell it)

    That was very nice for a first try. She will improve greatly as she becomes more seasoned. Beautiful little gal. You're doing well with her. Heck, just getting a Basenji to do all that is a triumph. I thought it was cute how she went around to greet the judges. Such a little ambassador.:D

    @Janneke: Haha.. that's a great video!! Not afraid she's going to stand on your laptop? :D No she walks across my laptop all the time and especially loves to lay down and put her head across the keyboard so she can push as many buttons as possible to make it impossible for me to be able to do anything on the computer. She also likes to lick the screen for some reason. But I gave up worrying about it and just figure it's all part of the package of owning a b.:D

    In our house there is one way to get back inside… Now before you say thats unfair, we don't have a yard so human and basenji have to stand out in the rain until Indy does what he needs to do. It will only take one or two times to make the point. Plus no potty in the house

    If your dog doesn't like being crated then maybe creating a "safe place" for when kids visit that the dog can be where it can have some time away from the kids.

    Glad to hear the trip went well. I'm sure there are people on here that can tell you more, but Bs are about 17 inches at the shoulder. I use my crate all the time. Deke LOVES it. He'd rather sleep in there then with us! It's also his "safe" zone. I have two (human) girls 6 and 10 they are not allowed to bother him in there.. other kids that come over are also told to leave the him alone when in his crate. It is in our kitchen so he's always near us. He actually likes it covered(it's like a den), he's in it when ever we're not home and at night. When he goes to my parents it goes to and his bankets and the cover. He gets a treat most times he goes in. We trained him to go in with the command "crate" but "bed time" works at night. When he was little we just picked him up and put him in we said "crate, good boy" and gave him treats. He just learned to love it. Good Luck
