Philadelphia dog show

Basenji Talk
  • …and Moses was definitely not one of the most quiet ones in there...no, he had top make himself heard..

    That is what I liked about the B that was there, he just sat there and looked at everything and anybody walking by, no noise no nothing...very B-like and poised..

  • @Forever:

    We just got back from the show. It was a nice time. There turned out to be 5 bs this morning in the ring, 3 r/w a tri and a trindle. New to this so not sure what went on but I think a r/w took first. So many interesting dogs and everyone was friendly my daughter loved getting to pet all the different dogs. I talked to one of the Basenji owners before we left and she was really nice. She was very helpful and gave me her e-mail address. We will post pics later.

    Looks by the results that all 6 entered did show. One was excused for threatening behavior towards the judge. And it must have been so, I have shown to the Judge, Betty Stites many times and she is not afraid of the breed.

  • alot of these are blurry but I picked the best of the Bs.as the day went on hubby got better but unfortunately no more bs. We had borrowed my sons camera for the day.







    sorry took so long had to wait for my son to help me out and he was ready to kill me by the time we were finished.

  • There was only 5 in the ring though we did see a brindle later and talked to the owner that b wasnt there at that time

    Yes we talked to one of the Bs owners right before we left her name was Laura (Tammen's Basenjis) She helped me out alot talking to me about zoe i'm so glad I met her.

    There was a fuss after the showing that delayed the next breed (a whippet owner was very upset about that) we asked laura about it and she mentioned that about the behavior.

  • Forever Amber, I'm glad you had a good time. Showing dogs and going to dog shows can be a lot of fun. My husband and I enjoy it a lot. There are some really great people involved with our breed.

    Trust me, you go to enough dog shows and you will see plenty of basenjis NOT being quiet. It is quite entertaining when they all get going together. :D

    Well that is true..this little guy just sat there, and I guess since Otis doesn't say a peep in the baroo and yodel department..I took for granted that all B's are quiet, silly me.

  • I was watching (I think) Westminster on TV a few years ago…Basenji was a pretty little bitch and when she entered the ring, she yodeled. Made the judge smile and the commentator made mention of it. I don't remember how she placed, but she was called out for the short list, where they call out four or five dogs to take a second look. I don't know what the technical term is.

    Hey, forgot to tell y'all...last year, AJ made it to Westminster....Massachusettes! (the town) :D

    The five in the ring would have been the 3 Specials enteres (finished champions) and Winners Dog and Winners Bitch. The one that was excused would have been in the regular dog classes

    Laura is very nice, has very nice Basenjis and is a good breeder….

    In your position, where you really have to take her out a lot, I understand. And I hope her comfort continues. My point was it is situational need, not dog need to be that social. :) I have a slim chance of that having worked with my current 2, but with my incredibly dog aggressive first one, I'd have been out in a basket muzzle and warning everyone to keep their dogs away.

    I have had a couple stained glass made, but there is normally a 3-4 month lead time as the artists are already booked up for Xmas this yr. Most of the artists on etsy will be booked this late in the yr, I had two quilts and a needle felt made a couple yrs ago and I placed my order in June in order to guarantee Xmas delivery. If you have a nice photo, there is a company called treasure knits that does wonderful woven afghans out of a photo with about a one week turn around. I have had both afghans and pillows made from photos as xmas gifts from them and they do great work.

    Well, the lab I mentioned (chocolate overweight one) almost took me out by slamming into my knee. I commented loudly " he better not insure my knee!" No comment from the owner. Others were keeping an eye on this over exhuberant dog too. Many peeps were standing behind a bench for protection. What really bugs me is that the park has very visible signs when you enter it that say you must have control of your dog.

    @tanza: Got ya…. and how nice of her to sit up and puke!!! :eek: I am lucky (knock on wood) all mine ride great... crate pads keep them from sliding around and they just sleep anyway.... Sure makes clean-up easier! I used to keep wipes in the car to clean her, esp. before shows! ew. I just layer plastic bags in the trash can, and tie 'em off as used, then toss when we get to where there's an outside trash can. I'd make video to show, but really, that'd be gross :eek: She's really good in her harness, so it works out quite well. As I said, Keoki continues to be my car challenge in terms of how to best travel with him. But he loves going in the car in general.

    Hollie will hide her treats and her dog food. Her favorite hiding place is under MY pillow in the bed. She has tried to hide her entire food bowl by pushing one of her plush toys with her nose in an attempt to get the toy on top of her food bowl. Why doesn't she just use her mouth to pick it up and place it on the bowl? Silly dog!

    We take our kids as many places as we can… hiking swimming running/jogging- nature trails parks doggie events (like ours!! www.firstgiving.org/bdawg) I've taken Lexi to do lure coursing a few years ago- it was fun, but she wasn't as in to it as I thought she might be; our dobie was FAR superior! lol
