  • Just wanted to wish everyone good luck at the club show this weekend. I didn't enter as John was due to home this weekend but the army being the army changed his dates for him coming home so could have gone:rolleyes: But as it turns out Belle is in season and would be right in the middle of it so wouldn't have shown her anyway. I'm sure it will be a lovely show so hope you all enjoy your day out:D


  • We are intending leaving at about 2am on Saturday morning - staying over in Huntindon on the Saturday night, then drive back home Sunday. Am really looking forward to it -was a brilliant show last year (and no i didnt win anything!).


  • I love club shows but just not good timing with me:( Really upset that I couldn't get to this one as it is a memorial one:(
    Oh well hope you have a nice day Scott:D


  • me too! Nothing worse than travelling 300 miles away, to show under a judge who only lives 30 miles from home, and winning hee haw. did that earlier this year lol.


  • We will be there, not expecting to win though. I believe there are 24 in the parade of champions. Looking forward to it, I just hope the weather is kind to us as it isn't a very big venue.

    I don't know how you do it Scott (getting up early) I hope you have a good trip down!

    travelling isnt too bad - its the accomodation im worrying about more this time - i booked it when i was unsure of my job situation, so went for a real cheapy hotel (under forty quid for the night) - mind you will probably be too tired to see much of it after the show, dinner and a wee dram i will be sleeping like a log lol.

    Don't worry Scott you will either have been celebrating or drowning your sorrows so you won't even notice what the hotel is like:D:p


  • Good luck to everyone showing :)


  • Thanks Basi. We are going to Darlington Show on Friday and just carrying on down the road afterwards for the Club Show on Saturday. I'm taking my mum with me as she really wanted to go to the memorial show. I don't think we will have seen so many basenjis in one place at one time! :D

    I had forgot it was Darlo show this week, good luck there also:D
    I'm sure your mum will love it:D
    I think the last time I was around so many B's was when my mum judged the houndshow in 01 with an entry of about 80 I think it was, really nice to see so many in one go.


  • Scott, you won't be the only one travelling all that way! We're not even staying overnight! Looking forward to it, not much chance of any wins, but it'll be good to see everyone and of course, see all those fab Basenjis.

    Tell your mum we look forward to seeing her, it seems ages since shes been to a show!

    Theresa are you mad!!? Any further than a 4 hour drive each way and we always stay over - even with shared driving i find it a bit much. See you down there, and best of luck to everybody.


  • Theresa you are going to have to come and say hello to me, I must see what this crazy woman looks like!

    If I go to Scotland I stay two nights!

    See you all there!


  • Good luck to all at Darlington, we're not doing that one this year.

    We are at BCoGB, though i cant find my schedule! Anyone know where a downloadable one is??


  • I am looking forward the Parade of champions. Let's hope it outside! We did turn up at this show two years ago but it was indoors and space was very tight so we did not stop long.

    2am in the morning! Poor Scott. We will set of at about 6.00am which is a little more civilised. Make it a large dram and I am sure you will not even notice the surroundings!:D

    Good luck to all at Darlington and the club show, see you all at Brampton.

    Steve.

    Hi Jess,

    I think its paper copies only with the BCoGB. We (BOBA) have gone digital this year, I wish the others would. Let me know if you are desperate for a schedule and I will try to remember to bring it to work tomorrow and scan it to a PDF file.

    If it's just some key detail you need I can put them in a post.

    Steve.

    Steve.

    Im my own worst enemy though - it will take us about 6.5 hrs to drive down(plus stops), but i am NEVER late for anything - always at least an hour early - so i suppose we could have an extra hour in bed - aint going to happen though!

    Will be in a celebratory mood anyway - dont know if you remember i mentioned we were being made redundant - well a london broker we work closely with heard of what was happening, and has asked me and a colleague to open up their first Scottish office for them! So have been busy packing up files today - open up the new office on Monday. Tilly can rest easily now.

    I've tried bait and no bait in the ring. I think bait works better for Logan, but not for me. He likes it and responds to it well, but as a new handler it's a pain in the butt. I know what I'm expected to do. Doing it once in the ring is hard. I get caught up in the minute and then forget what I'm supposed to do the next. I once stacked Logan backwards on the table. D'oh! Logan is SUPER food driven and he knows if I have cookies in my pocket. That's all he'll pay attention to. Jumping on the handler is frowned upon. Yes, I know training and time will cure it. Not there yet. Too many hobbies. Showing, breeding, MGBs, stereos, astronomy, motorcycles, family, friends, travel, house, etc. I need more time.

    @eeeefarm said in Complete newbie to showing: ... I had a husky/shepherd crossbred that was the same way. Put a muddy dog in the barn at night, open the door to a perfectly clean one in the morning! What the...? Did they wipe themselves with a horse? :face_with_tears_of_joy:
