Vanda's Debut Weekend…

Basenji Showing
  • Thanks Nemo,

    Im really not worried about what they do in the ring, while in the Baby class. They are there to get the feel of what all this showing 'stuff' is all about, hopefully :D. Im happy if they just come out of it having a great day, lots of socialising etc, etc, etc :)

    What really amused me was the way that she knew all this stuff, then about Tues last week, she suddenly decided that she had NO CLUE what I wanted her to do, and she decided that she was going to run as fast as she can back to the judge… I took her to Puppy Training on the Wed, and the teacher jokingly asked me if I had done ANY work with her at all :o:o. She was a horror, she was acting like I had never even had a lead on her. She tried to jump off the table, so the teacher and I both did acrobatic moves to catch her, thankfully we both caught her :o:o. It was really embarassing, and I asked the teacher to take her home for me, and I will see her at the Royal, all trained... Sadly she refused my offer :confused::confused::D:D

  • @moetmum:

    Oh bless her, puppies should be puppies, I wouldn't expect a little baby that age to show like a pro. :) Good luck with her.

    I dream of baby puppy pro, but I havent managed to cook one like that yet :):)

  • Hey that's great :D! Many congrats for Little Vanda :cool:!
    I remember Masai's first and second show. At first he was only one in baby class so we won that but his presentation wasn't dazzling. And second show was really terrible for me :D. He was with another two boys in baby class and got 3rd place. He jumped and pulled on the leash. In stack he was the best but judge prefered moving. So we had a 3rd place and it was that moment when I decided I want 1st place :D. A little bit training and results of endeavour are here :D.

    Many congrats once again :)!

  • Congratulations Saba and Vanda :)

  • Fantastic result…congrats Saba & Vanda...:D:D

  • I think it sounds like she did great, all things considered..she is a pup after all.
    Huge congrats for the first show wins and jitters being over with..now on to the next one..
    Did you get any pics..?

  • WooHoo.. that is super… congrats!!!! And yes, regardless of the judges idea... a baby puppy class should be FUN for them.. even if they act like they have never been on a leash in their entire "short" life... :-)

  • Way to go and you did so nicely.

  • Well, Miss Vanda has had her next 2 shows, and whilst she didnt win any classes in group, she did perform quite well, and she was best baby of breed both days :). At the second show, the judge had some nice words about her, so I was happy…

    Got the Royal Hobart Show tomorrow, and Im really looking forward to that. Will let you know how she goes :D

  • Good going Miss Vanda, I can't wait to see how it went..

    @mmitch777: Thx all. We really did not expect to win anything. We entered just because they were not too far away and wanted to get some show experience. She looks cute in the pictures but she is so naughty, I sort of wish she was not so smart :) Congratulations! She sure is a pretty girl. We all can sympathize with your last statement - they are clever to a fault, most times too quickly clever for us to catch up in time! I used to think age would calm them but no longer believe that to be true. :)

    Congratulations! On a side note: I work on tracking with Oakley to help mentally stimulate him; granted its only for fun but he likes it ( for awhile)…

    @ibi_n_sane: how funny, never heard of that, makes me wonder why they should not need teeth for eating veggies? they need to chew them too right? :confused: yeah…that is a load ;) that would mean that cows, horses, gorillas? wouldn't need teeth... I agree that dogs probably shouldn't be penalized for missing an incisor...but does it lead to missing molars (big problem for crunching bones)...and missing canines (big problem for catching prey)? I don't know, because I haven't run across more than one Basenji that was missing an incisor.

    @birdbars: OK so I'm being a kind of proud dad. appease me a little Jocelyn got her 5th Junior Showmanship win on Saturday, which qualifies her for Eukanuba National Championships. That has always been her "accomplishment" goal since she moved into Open Class. Then on Sunday she got her very first Best Junior Handler over about 30 kids which was goal of about eight hours, hehe. So now she has Westminster in her sights. With about a dozen more AZ Jr rings before the qualifiying deadline, we may need to start a plane ticket fund.:D Thats amazing!!! Im really happy for you!
