@kiroja:

Awww, too cute Andrea! Yeah, can't wait to see what kind of devious things the boys and B's devise when they get older. lol

Looking forward to seeing the twins again. They'll probably be mobile by then!

So when does Ethan hit the jrs ring?

Thanks Kelli <sarcasm>are you wishing naughty adventureres on me? I think Ethan will be thrilled when he can take Hippo in the ring…let's hope he is trained by then Maybe his debut will be next year at the Canadian National!</sarcasm>

Very handsome boys you got there…boys are so sweet. Girls are too, but boys are a touch sweeter, especially with their mommies..You are lucky, three boy hugs a night. I mean that in a nice way, I have a daughter too and she is the sweetest, but when your little boy comes to you and asks for a hug...it melts your heart:)

[kiroja]

lol Andrea. Well you have all boys and Basenjis, what else am I to think? lol

Aww, he will be so cute jogging around with Hippo. Although I think he should show Bella. After all, he was "along for the ride" when she was showing in the first place. Either way, it should be mighty cute, I'll have to bring my camera. I bet you guys will be too busy wrangling the others. lol

Just curious, but is there a requirement that kids need to be a certain age before they can start showing?

[kiroja]

I think in AKC they have to be 7 yrs old. In CKC they have a pee wee class where it's even younger, 4 yrs. And in UKC they can be 2! lol And I think in the youngest ones they can have an "assistant" handler. I know I've seen Laurie Soutar going around the ring with her granddaughter in UKC. She has Lakilanni Greyhounds and are regulars at the lure trials.

PS, that's for juniors. I think for the breed ring there is no age stipulation as long as they are in control of the dog. Kathy?
