Today was fun!

@tanza:

I just love his eye shape and color… one thing I have notice here in the US is way to many Basenjis are getting a rounder eye instead of almond shaped...

And my only comment about his tail would be that it sits a bit low, could be set higher, But I don't get the "open".... comment.

And I think his top lines looks great... but if the comment about him being a bit loose in front moving... maybe she thinks that gives him a softer top line also?..

Thank you for your comments. I also love his eyes.. I can watch that first pic for hours… (but why should I.. I can look at the real dog actually.. ;))

You're definitely right about his tail.. It should be set higher.. about the open.. maybe she wants a double curl? and next time the judge writes something I don't understand.. I will ask her personally... haha..
I don't think it has anything to do with his movement, because the judge reports are always written in the same order as her judging: On table: age, head, teeth, body. Then the movement. You have to stack you're dog after doing all this in front of her and she tells her writer what she thinks..

Well done Janneke & Tilo. I think he looks great - thats a real basenji expression - in my opinion.

Congrats on the fun day! The last point will come… (i know!)

The pics are great!!

And the coursing.. We want to come also... but I really can't open the site..
(kan ik iemand een berichtje sturen via internet om iets te vragen?)

Hey Janneke ! Congrats to you and Tillo of course !:)
As I look at the picture of "Mr. BOB" I get the impression the judges are going for the more muscular type or am I wrong ? This of course would be great news for us as Bendji is quite firmly build.:D

I remember meeting his litter sister at Hannover Garbsen so you would have seen her too she was in Belle's class. He looks a nice dog and has had some nice wins.

Not 'the judges' of course, but this judge and not more muscular.. If there's one pup muscular… then it's mine :p
And don't mistake muscular with Bendji's firm body :p :p Haha.. just kidding of course :p (has he lost some weight already?)

Chandu is very elegant looking, high on his legs compared to the other. I will upload pics of the other basenji's in about half an hour.. there are also a couple of Aboteres.

Yes, his sister won that class, didn't she? I believe the whole litter looks very nice.

Yes:( I prefer him to her as he has a better length of leg to height ratio.

Ah yes… not good for you of course.. But Belle had a nice second place. I spoke to the judge afterwards and she told me she really liked the female puppies. (opposed to the male puppies :p :()

Yes she said that she enjoyed the bitch puppy class and it was a hard decision between Belle and the other girl, she actually has a write up about the show on her website.

YOU NAUGHTY GIRL !!! Laughing at my little Bendji !!!;)
And no, I have put him on a daily 400 kcal diet but he remains on the heavy side … Maybe due to the lack of running opportunities he has were we live. But I arranged with Alain to visit the doggy yard 3 times a week instead of only once a week... this will help him burn the puppy fat more easily I hope. :rolleyes: He has to be in top shape by the end of this month for he will be performing on his first show !!!:eek:

Chandu is very elegant looking, high on his legs compared to the other.

Hum, heard somewhere his feet are pointing outward … so he's not a match for Bendji hahaha:D
Just kidding. He's very beautiful indeed.:)

Hahaha.. yes.. better than crying about it.. isn't it
What show are you going?

And.. no dog is perfect..

Edit: all B pics online in 5 minutes..

BOB guy IS more mature looking in the pic than Tillo…he also has "showy" markings, which make his shoulder angulation appear striking. He is a nice dog, I wouldn't feel bad about losing to him!

I don't Only problem is.. we'll have to compete in our next show as well

That's okay Different judge, different day! I think Mirtillo could beat him if a judge liked a lighter boned dog.

Yes, a couple of weeks ago when Tillo became BOB he did beat him.. so anything is possible
