FROM THE EDITORS

During

our first year we have been so focused on making sure The Modern Basenji - Worldwide is providing the best coverage of basenjis worldwide that we never properly introduced ourselves and described our jobs. We are a small group, which means it’s not unusual for any one team member to wear several “hats.” In a nut shell, here is what we do. [Listed in alphabetical order as every job is critical to the success of The Modern Basenji.] Tad Brooks, someone most everyone knows, gathers content, show coverage, news, you name it. He also is part of the Advertising team. It’s amazing how “in touch” Tad is with the show scene. No doubt many of you hear from Tad when it’s time to encourage you to place an advertisement in The Modern Basenji. Heather Ervin manages the subscription work. You will be hearing from her soon as subscription renewals are fast approaching for those of you who started with us on that inaugural edition. The magazine was such a hit that first issue sold out! Melody Falcone is the other member of the Advertising team. She, too, keeps up with what is going on in the show world so don’t be surprised to hear from her shortly after you walk out of that ring with the big rosette. When you look at most of the ads in The Modern Basenji, credit Melody with those creative layouts. She can take pictures and text and turn them into magic. Remember Melody when you are ready to place that next ad. It was Melody’s idea to give the magazine a Facebook presence. She posts news about the magazine to keep everyone informed. Be sure to stop by our Facebook page often. Jason Maleck makes our digital magazine rock. He is a master at the software required to make our slick magazine come to life. Jason also developed and manages The Modern Basenji website. He is a top ad designer and creates some of the ads when he has time. Jason also owns Ribit Design so, no doubt, many of you have seen his work in the popular all-breed magazines. Wanda Pooley coordinates the content and production schedule and is responsible for the appearance of the magazine. All those articles, reports, tallies, and ads require careful planning and placement, and without exception, everything needs special attention to look attractive. She is the one who sets the deadlines, keeps track of the work that’s finished and follows up on what is outstanding. Wanda also is our “bean counter.” She pays the bills and keeps the financial end of The Modern Basenji on track. We are very fortunate to have some meticulous copy editors. Each issue Maxine Elliott, Heather Ervin, Sue Joyner, and Anne Rogers carefully review all the content searching for typos, accuracy of text, grammar, and anything else they can find to make the magazine read better. In short, they put the polish on the magazine. The digital magazine is still available to everyone. We have been kicking around ideas of how to use this medium more effectively. We decided to hold off on the log-on for online access because we want everyone to see this great magazine. As always, The Modern Basenji Team promises to keep the magazine fresh and interesting. We celebrate the first year of the magazine and look forward to bringing our readers another great year of news in 2012! h

THE GENE DISCOVERED! (continued)

a given chromosome has a matching gene at the same position on the corresponding joined-chromosome. Each component of the matched gene is called an allele and the combined effect of the two matched alleles determine a particular trait. If the two matched alleles are the same, the chromosome is “homozygous”. If they are different, the chromosome is “heterozygous.” Now, armed with the knowledge of exactly which gene to examine, a test for the mutation definitively determines if a dog is normal/ clear (no mutation), a carrier (heterozygous for the mutation), or genetically affected and at risk for developing the disease (homozygous for the mutation). There is no longer an “Indeterminate” status such as when using the linked marker test. Results from the direct gene test do not use the word “Probably.” A DNA test for the actual gene enables breeders to make informed breeding decisions, with certainty, in an effort to avoid producing affected dogs and to provide better health management where appropriate. However, it is important to remember that most genes have more than one function, and the Fanconi Syndrome gene may be discovered to impact other traits we consider desirable for the breed, traits that we want to preserve. For breeders and owners who tested their dogs with the linked marker test, the Basenji Health Endowment will subsidize $15 of the retesting cost for each direct gene test until 31 December 2013. When ordering the DNA test as a retest on the OFA website at www.offa.org, select the “Fanconi Retest” at a cost of $50 per dog. The research laboratory at the University of Missouri will determine if sufficient DNA remains in storage from the linked marker test sample (for both blood or buccal cells from a cheek swab) to run the test. If they have enough DNA on file, a new sample will not be required. However, if the previous test does not have adequate DNA remaining to conduct another test, more DNA must be provided, in which case a test kit will be sent to you. For those breeders and owners who wish to test dogs previously tested but using new DNA samples, select “Fanconi DNA” on the OFA website at a cost of $65 per test. Our breed fancy is indebted to Dr. Gary Johnson and his team for their long-term commitment towards this effort and their pivotal discovery for the health and well-being of our dogs. But their work is not done. There are still a number of important questions that Dr. Gary Johnson and his research team will consider in order to describe the mechanisms that cause the disease to manifest. Some of their questions may include what triggers cause an ‘Affected’ dog to become symptomatic (afflicted), what other genetic factors affect expression of Fanconi Syndrome and what variation exists in expression of the gene (such as degree of severity and age at onset). Are there modifiers which may alter gene expression, how does the identified gene actually contribute to the onset of Fanconi Syndrome, and are there ways to improve management of the disease for those that progress faster than others? Only time and research will reveal the sources of these mysteries.

by Fran Medley This year marks the 35th year of dedication to this breed we all love so very much. We even have a couple of members who have been with the club since its beginning. Now that’s real dedication! We have been busy since our Specialty last March. First our annual All-Breed Lure Coursing Fun Run was held on April 23 at the Haggard’s farm with the emphasis on teaching newcomers the sport. Watching first-time pups get their first look at “the bunny” and seeing the excitement in their eyes and the enthusiasm in their run is a joy. One basenji and an Italian Greyhound tried to go through the pond – boy were they surprised! Lunch was served to all the folks while we enjoyed visiting. We held two interesting educational programs at club meetings. The first, in April, Patricia Williams, DVM, spoke about first aid for dogs and what to do in case of an emergency. The second speaker in August was Canine Sports Massage Therapist, Roberta Kirby who demonstrated massage on one of our dogs and spoke of how our lure coursing athletes could benefit from massage. AKC has encouraged clubs to host a Responsible Dog Owner’s Day to educate folks about different breeds, their specific requirements to make them a better fit into human households, and just good dog care in general. DFWBC participated with the Ft. Worth Kennel Club (FWKC) sponsored event on September 24th at Veteran’s Park in White Settlement. Weather was perfect, and many people from the community stopped by to visit our booth. At least 10 other breed clubs took part by setting up booths, providing literature and answering questions. We were very surprised and pleased to win first prize for the best decorated booth. We spent the day greeting the public and educating them about basenjis. Three of the four colors of basenjis were represented – Zoë, a red & white seven-year old bitch, Zan, an 11-year old red & white male, Pharaoh, a three year old tri male, and Paladin, a black and white six-month old male puppy. All were on their best behavior, being both cautious and eager to meet the public. The DFWBC Specialty is March 23, 2012 at the usual place – Will Rogers Memorial Complex, Fort Worth. Various other breed club specialties will be held Friday night, followed on Saturday and Sunday by the FWKC’s All-Breed Shows. A club dinner will be held Saturday night at a member’s home; all show folk welcome. Our Puppy and Veteran Sweepstakes Judge will be Mike Graves of Leander, TX, a long time basenji breeder and handler. Mike has great hands on puppies. The breed judge is Theresa Hundt of Newtown, CT who has handled basenjis in the past. Trophies will be some lovely African or Egyptian themed items with a special trophy for the Oldest Veteran in Sweeps. See our website in November for more information. <www.dfwbasenji.org>

THE B-L EGAL BLOG By: Karla Schreiber

One For All And All For One

his Quarter’s B-Legal Blog isn’t going to cover a specific legal topic. Instead, I want to plant a seed. A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to explore the website of the Dog Federation of Wisconsin. While reviewing the site, I was struck by the fact that this organization is doing something extremely important to the survival of purebred dogs in an increasingly hostile environment. As Animal Rights groups everywhere assault us from all sides, and as we (and AKC) fumble to formulate articulate and persuasive responses to these attacks, the mission statement of the Dog Federation of Wisconsin seemed particular poignant: “The Dog Federation of Wisconsin is a grassroots organization consisting of dog clubs, and individuals from all walks of life. Our membership includes Wisconsinites involved in dog conformation, agility, obedience, rally, freestyle, tracking and fly ball activities. Working dogs that participate in herding, sled dog racing, carting, search and rescue, hunt tests, field trails and hunters are found in our ranks. Many of our members are also actively involved with breed rescue and pet therapy. We represent and promote responsible dog breeding and dog ownership. DFOW represents the full spectrum of dog owners in Wisconsin. We are the experts.” The DFOW works tirelessly to combat dog-ownerdiscriminative legislation at both the national and state level, while at the same time promoting the positive aspects of purebred dog ownership to the public. There are quite a few state organizations out there, consisting primarily of AKC conformation-based kennel clubs, that attempt to influence legislation and work for a positive image of purebred dogs. But from where I sit (and this is my blog!) the DFOW goes a step or two further. DFOW includes EVERYBODY involved in any way with purebred dogs – everyone from die-hard breeders and conformation exhibitors to rescue folks and companion owners. Everybody who loves and cares about the continued existence of healthy, well-bred purebred dogs is welcomed, and the DFOW, therefore, speaks with considerable broad-based expertise when it seeks to influence legislation. For many years, those of us in “the fancies” have relied on AKC or similar parent club organizations abroad to “be our voice” when it comes to Animal Rights based laws and proposals. As we close the

books on 2011, I want to express the thought that while AKC and other parent club organizations and registries may have attempted (in good faith) to take on the role of “expert” when dealing with local and national legislation, this effort has not been successful. In short, DFOW has it right. What can, and does influence legislation is a cohesive and broad-based group of LOCAL experts, speaking authoritatively and confidently about the positive impact of purebred dogs, and the ongoing benefits of allowing breeders and owners to continue providing quality, hobby-bred, health-tested pups to those who want a purebred dog. To do otherwise is to risk allowing purebred dogs to go the way of the fur coat – branded by the Animal Right as a “dirty word” – an antiquated concept that is bourgeois and irrelevant. Purebred dogs in general, and certainly our ancient, landrace breed, are not bourgeois or irrelevant. They are living artifacts of our shared human past. Their existence on this planet informs our future, and our children’s futures. As we move from an old year to a new year, please consider the concept that unites the DFOW. Please consider how useful it may be for all of us involved in purebred dogs – breeders, owners, and rescuers – to beat our swords into plowshares. Now is the time to pull together. Together we can take a stand and protect what is important to us. Our purebred dogs are not “fur coats” – luxury items that are “for sale” at the expense of the quality of life of the animals that produce them. Our purebred dogs are history. Our purebred dogs are beautiful and useful. Our purebred dogs are not a “dirty word” – they are as much a part of humanity as we are. Those who want to take beauty and utility and turn those concepts into “dirty words” are the ones who are wrong-headed. Those of us who live in, and support the world of purebred dogs have much more in common than our differences of direction might sometimes suggest. If we join hands, we will be strong – strong enough to defeat those who seek to harm us. If we cannot join hands, we will be weak, and we may not prevail. Until next year….

HOW TECHNOLOGY HAS CHANGED DOG SHOWS

PART 1

by Thomas Meade II - Junior Columinst

the 1970s exhibitors either filled out an entry form at the show superintendent’s desk or called in their entries. Much has changed since then. Probably the first thing that comes to mind when you think of how today’s technology affects dog shows is submitting online entries. To enter a dog show, you can use a website such as Infodog, owned and operated by MB-F. Just fill out the required information in the online form, pay for the entries with a credit card, click the submit button, and record a transaction number. You are now entered in the show and have confirmation of the entry. An immediate confirmation is sent to the e-mail address of the exhibitor’s choice. Another facet of digital technology is the ability of superintendents, such as MB-F, to show real-time results from their shows. MB-F uses an operating system called Multibase. This operating system, developed by Cykic Software, was designed specifically for them. They have taken advantage of this technology to give us results in real-time. This is wonderful because it’s easy to see how people have done at the MB-F shows almost immediately, without even needing to ask, call or text someone for results. Another useful feature of this software is the ability to read how a show dog is doing. You can also manage your kennel on-line with Infodog’s Kennel management feature. There are numerous other features on the Infodog website such as an on-line dog show calendar which can be viewed by selected states or by a weekly time period. In many cases, each show is linked to past entries and show results, and any current judge changes. It is a very useful site. Infodog does charge a nominal monthly fee for users - approximately $10.00. The site offers a discount for on-line entries for subscribers. In all cases, it is a very useful tool for the dog fancier and professional dog handler. Information is stored from previous dogs entered, making it very easy to submit additional and future entries to show superintendents.

Other enjoyable features that have arisen from the Internet are services such as Yahoo Groups and Facebook. These were initiated by the exhibitors. Dog fanciers can add each other as “Friends” on Facebook and update their individual pages or groups. There are discussion groups for people who are just interested in specific breeds, or those interested in making majors at shows, especially shows that might not normally have many entries. This has created more friendships and champions too! One nice advancement of the digital revolution is the many webhosting services available to create kennel websites. Way back, if you wanted to see a top winning dog, you either had to see the dog in person, or you had to find it in a dog publication. Of course, video has added a nice dimension to the sport of dog showing, too! Today you only need to open your favorite web browser and type the web address of the kennel you want to research. There you can see pictures, video, additional links to other helpful websites and resources. The use of the Internet for kennel websites has been particularly useful for individuals interested in researching breeding programs around the world. Language translation programs now make it possible for people who don’t speak the same language to discuss many topics, including the sport of dogs and shows. Technology has even changed how we watch the BIG shows such as The Westminster Kennel Club (WKC) and The National Dog Show (Eukanuba). A few years ago, the WKC began offering live feeds from the breed rings during the day. This was big news! I remember rushing to a computer during the day to see specific breeds. It was a bit slow at first, but when the results and videos were downloaded, it was magic. This has definitely changed the face of the sport at the BIG shows. If you’re not at Madison Square Garden in person, you can definitely feel close at hand if you have a computer and an THE MODERN BASENJI - Page - 12

Internet service. Sure, you can wait until the eight o’clock live telecast and watch the group competition... but why would you? Let’s say you want to watch the breed judging and then see how the breed winner in the group looks compared to other dogs that were in the breed ring. Even if you are at the Garden as an exhibitor, you can now review how you and your dog performed, your strengths and weaknesses, and compare your entry against the other competitors in the ring. The websites for Westminster and Eukanuba are excellent resources for information. In addition to the ability to download a show premium, all the information needed to attend the show is provided. Both websites have helpful information ranging from entry requirements to transportation and hotel information. What makes these sites particularly useful is their ‘up-to-date’ and ‘of-the-moment’ news links. In addressing our basenji breed specifically, technology is very useful in discussing health issues, especially Fanconi research this year. I followed the excellent discussions right before the 2011 national specialty. The use of our basenji newsgroups on Yahoo and Facebook discussions facilitated getting out the information quickly, correctly and efficiently to club members and additional individuals in the breed. In closing, technology has greatly changed the sport of purebred dogs. It has helped us enter our dogs more efficiently and effortlessly in shows, communicate with others in the sport, and become better educated about our breeds through websites and on-line research. It has promoted links between individuals, kennels, clubs and national organizations. It has assisted us in becoming more efficient, educated and accountable in our sport. 

MBIS/MBISS CH. Arubmec’s Sweet Spot SC One last wave....

Arubmec BASENJIS Interview with Pat Cembura

How did you choose your kennel name and what does it signigy? I was with my friend and mentor, Russell Hendren, at a dog show, and we were talking about kennel names. I said I liked “ARUBMEC” which was my last name backwards. I told my husband, Paul, that I would put his name on the map in basenjis; I just didn’t tell him it would be backwards. How did you acquire your first basenji and why are you still this breed today? I was always interested in dogs as a youngster but had not heard of a basenji until I met my husband. He said he had a friend with a dog that didn’t bark or have a dog odor. I thought, “Hey, the perfect dog!” I bought one for my husband for Valentine’s Day in 1974. We treated “Taj” like a normal dog, took him camping with us and on all day trail rides with our horses, the dogs following behind. I fell in love with the breed and then acquired my foundation bitch from Della Biggs of “Pero” basenjis, Ch. Pero’s Cayenne of N’Gi aka Pepper. How long have you been breeding basenjis? I bred Pepper to Ch Asari’s Ti-Jii in 1981. This was my first litter, so I guess you could say I have been a breeder for 30 years, but I have owned basenjis since 1974. My first breeding produced Ch. Arubmec’s Allspice, aka Alli. He lived until Sept 1996 and died due to a throat tumor. What do you feel your greatest accomplishments have been in the breed, and why? I feel my greatest accomplishment is the type that I have bred. My biggest compliment came from someone who said they could recognize one of my dogs anywhere in the country. “Your ‘cookie-cutter’ dogs are your stamp.” Also, having “Victor” featured in Susan Coe’s “Out of Africa” as one of the top show dogs was a real thrill.

What are some of your favorite awards / wins and why do you consider them your favorites? Of course the Best in Show will always be my favorite win. I handled Ch. Arubmec’s the Victor to a BIS in 1988. He was the first basenji to go BIS in California and was breeder-owner handled. Another favorite win was watching Mike Work win the 1986 BCOA National under the late Anne Clark with Victor. I have had many Specialty wins that were thrilling. The same can be said for every new one that I win. I was able to be present when Erin Roberts won BIS on my “Spotti” in 2004. I drove to Oregon to watch them, and let me tell you the 10-hour drive home flew by as I re-ran that moment in my head many times. The Diane Coleman Memorial Hound Group Award was another thrill. Thanks to Erin, Michael and Patrick. Of the dogs that you have bred, which ones do you feel have made the greatest impact on your breeding program and why? I feel Ch. Arubmec’s the Victor has made the greatest impact on the breed as he is behind many of the great dogs that we know today. DC Arubmec’s Encore SC

is known for putting his flying side-gait on his offspring. I have been very lucky on the health side that many of my stud dogs have produced good health and temperaments. Name a couple of basenjis that you feel have been the most influential to our breed and why. Ch. Reveille Re-Up goes back to all my dogs so his health had to be a factor. I bred to Ch Djakomba’s Spotlight several times as I loved his type. MBIS Ch Zindika’s Johnny Come Greatly JC did a great job of getting the brindle color seen in the BIS ring.

DC Arubmec’s Encore SC - Cori

CH Arubmec’s Final Mission JC - Maddi

What are your favorite breeding combinations litters, and why do you feel they are your favorites? One of my favorite breedings was MBIS/ MBISS CH Arubmec’s Sweet Spot SC to DC Arubmec’s Hannah SC. I got excellent type movement and some of the best temperments that I have ever seen. Offspring of these litters also have the health that I want and excellent temperaments.

I have seen great results in our eye exams and hip problems; we need to make sure we keep this going. What is your thought process when planning that next breeding and your priorities. When I plan a breeding, I look for the dogs to compliment each other. I look at what those dogs have produced and work with that to get my final (hopefully) outcome.

Have you had any other breeds during your years in the sport of dogs? I had an Italian Greyhound in 1985 that I finished at nine months old and then placed with one of my puppy buyers that fell in love with him as a companion for their puppy. I now have two Australian Cattle Dogs.

I was going to take Ace back to the breeder in three weeks when I was in Washington state, but after two days Ace What do you think needs improvement in the breed? was glued to me, and I fell under his spell.

IT’S ONLY COLOR But color can tell you a lot. by Mary Lou Kenworthy

Standards were written by knowledgeable people who knew and understood the origin and purpose of their breed. Standards are the guidelines that were meant to preserve the breed as it was meant to be.

The

basenji, once considered “Nature’s Masterpiece”, has been traced back in time to the second branch from the wolf where the basenji split off onto a branch by itself. Only the basenji was on this branch and carried on for centuries without the addition of any other canine species. The isolation provided by the environment kept this strain pure making the basenji one of the most ancient existing dog breeds that developed by natural selection without human selection until recent years. For thousands of years these basenjis evolved in the wild unimpeded by man. The basenji’s earliest reported history is from cave drawings, drawings in tombs and earliest history written by explorers. Here the colors of the basenji are reported to be the same as most wild canines, colors of the ‘A’ series. These are (Ay) -yellow, red, tan etc. depending on what breed it is applied to, (a) - recessive black, (at) - black with tan points or any of the other ‘A’ series alleles like saddle and sable. This was the original nature-made basenji. The following paragraph is a quote from the BCOA Column in the July 1958 AKC Gazette written by Walter Philo, president of the Basenji Club of America from 1955-1956: “Visiting the basenji bench at the Westminster K.C. some seven years ago, (1951) Dr. James P. Chapin of the American Museum of Natural History remarked that from a naturalist’s viewpoint, it was

commendable of U.S. dog fanciers to undertake the preservation of a pure strain of the African barkless dog. ‘The BASENJI in Africa is a welldefined breed,’ he has said, ‘evidence of long isolation from the outer world and a surprising thing in a country where natives practice little selection in domestic animals.’ Like many of us, he has been concerned that, with the influx of Europeans, bringing with them dogs of all sorts, the BASENJI was becoming mongrelized in the more traversed parts of the Congo.” In the August 1958 AKC Gazette column Walter Philo writes the following on basenji color: “As long ago as the Museum’s 1909 - 1915 Congo expedition, Dr. Chapin noted that there is a great variation in the coat of the BASENJI from sandy yellow to rich yellow-brown, from light reddish brown to deep blackish brown. The last color, he said is the least common, but a dark brown BASENJI with a white collar was the kind that he found most attractive. The handsome tri-colored BASENJI of our show rings is very rare in the Belgian Congo and apparently does not appear in the French Congo.” In his book, Basenji Dog from the Past, Forrest Bryant Johnson searches for information on the basenji in ancient Egyptian texts and historical records. The colors he mentions all fit the “A” series alleles. No one has ever discussed the other color that was found in the mid-nineteen THE MODERN BASENJI - Page - 16

hundreds. It seems strange that no one questioned the brindle color that suddenly appeared in basenji-like African dogs at this time. The brindle pattern, like barking, is a dominant trait and comes only from a parent with this trait. The brindle pattern was never found in the wild. In spite of being called “tiger striped”, breeding has proven that this is the same brindle that is found in domestic breeds of dogs. It is a dominant color pattern so it can come only from a brindle parent. Brindle (kbr) was never found in the wild; it is a mutation that started in domestic dogs. Whatever breed(s) introduced (kbr) into the African dogs was not apparent after a few generations because the basenji has a primal body canid design. This proves to breed true and is seen in pariahs as well as many pure breeds around the world. Any dog with prick ears and slightly curly tail is dubbed a part or full basenji. Any mix soon shows many basenji features. Most dogs of unknown ancestry turned into shelters are labeled “part basenji” whether they are or not. Long domestication tends to change traits of the original dogs and color is the trait most easily seen. When human selection is involved, anything new and different is suddenly prized and preserved, even if the trait would be culled by nature in the wild or was not an original color. Civilization has been creeping into Africa for the past century or more and bringing with it domestic breeds of dogs. All dogs run free, and there is little or no selective breeding so canines are free to mate with whatever they can find. It is only in the most isolated parts of central Africa that the nature-made basenji is still pure. In order to preserve a natural breed (not man-made) one must resist the temptation to change what nature created. The show ring has destroyed many breeds - whether natural or man-made.

ARUBMEC BASENJIS, Pat Cembura Interview Continued from page 15

What do you feel are a breeder’s greatest challenges, and how have those challenges changed over the time you have been in the breed? The most challenging thing for a breeder to do is to stick with the type that they have picked, and, of course, health and temperament. I sometimes think that breeders do not pay a lot of attention to puppy temperaments if that puppy looks like a real winner. I don’t care how pretty or correct the dog looks, if you can’t touch it, it should not reproduce. Another challenge is finding the right family for the puppy. Please share a few photos of Arubmec dogs and tell us a little about each. MBIS/MBISS CH. Arubmec’s Sweet Spot SC (2000-2011) (pictured on page 14) Spotti was probably one of the sweetest and silliest basenjis I have ever owned. The photo is one of my group placements with him as a young dog before he went on “tour” with Erin Roberts. Thank you to Michael Jamison, Patrick Allison and Erin for getting the best out of Spotti and for all your help and support. Spotti was tested as Probably Affected for Fanconi but has never showed any signs or symptoms. I worked

at a Specialty clinic and constantly had him tested; the results always came back normal. For those of you who don’t know, I was at the National in Wisconsin this year when my husband called to say he found Spotti dead in his crate the morning of Sept. 18th. He told me that Spotti had been acting completely normal the night before, he ate his dinner, ran upstairs to his crate and gave him his nightly cookie. I was in disbelief; I couldn’t believe my Spotti was gone. My super silly boy that was the sweetest and best “waver” -- he stood on his hind legs and waved to everyone for anything -- that I have ever known. Rest in peace, my sweet boy. You are greatly missed. Another photo is of my latest new champion (#73) Ch. Arubmec’s Thriller. Mikey finished with five majors, a Best of Breed from the classes from breeder-judge, Kathy Britton. Thank you, Kathy, for the Best Puppy in Show award, shown by my good friend, Kelly Collins, who is always willing to stand in for me when my knees give out, and through my up-coming knee replacement this winter. Mikey hopefully will live up to my expectations. His sister, Izzi, Arubmec’s This Is It at Itapuca, owned by Savio Steele in Brazil certainly did. 

It’s Only Color Continued from page 16

breeds change, and not always for the better, because of the breeders’ desire for pretty colored ribbons. The trend is to breed for the latest winning fad even if it is not what the standard calls for. Standards were written by knowledgeable people who knew and understood the origin and purpose of their breed. Standards are the guidelines that were meant to preserve the breed as it was meant to be. Unfortunately, standards have been changed to suit man’s will. Adding a different color just because it’s new and someone likes it will only dilute the authenticity of a breed. In nature, the only lasting changes that take place are for the preservation of the breed. Has no one ever questioned how brindle just appeared out of thin air in the mid-nineteen hundreds? Brindle is a dominant color and can come only from another brindle. Brindle was never a wild color pattern. It didn’t appear in African basenjis until after the influx of other breeds from other countries. The same is true of dominant black, it is not reported in the wild either. It appeared in Liberia where history tells us cross-breeding was practiced by workers on the Firestone Plantation. Some fanciers there started a line of dominant black

“basenjis.” Clarence C. Little, who wrote The Inheritance of Coat Color in Dogs, placed this dominant black color in the ‘A’ series and this was thought to be correct for many decades. Modern research and DNA has proven this to be incorrect. Both dominant black and brindle are on the ‘K’ series. The black on the ‘A’ series is recessive (like our Fula blacks) or part of the black/tan pattern. Black, although not fully understood at the time, was in the original basenji standard. Brindle was added to the standard in recent times (1991) allowing further contamination from some other breed or breeds and a dilution of the pure basenji. This is why ‘color’ is important; it can, at times, define the purity or impurity of a breed. Is adding other colors more important than maintaining the purity of an ancient natural breed? Both dominant black and brindle are now long ingrained into our basenji gene pool. There are a few who would like to add more colors even if they are not the original basenji colors. This would further dilute the original basenji gene pool. Is it worth bringing in impurities for the sake of a new color? We have allowed human desired changes to creep into the basenji - a THE MODERN BASENJI - Page - 18

natural breed that we were entrusted to preserve. Further contamination will only take us further from “Nature’s Masterpiece.” If we are to preserve the true basenji, any new additions to our gene pool must be only of the purest natural basenjis. These dogs must come from the furthest possible area away from civilization where their isolation has been documented for centuries. These areas are far away from coastal regions where population first builds up and access is easy from other countries. These dogs must resemble the earliest recorded basenjis as opposed to what man has created for the show ring. They must be of an original ‘wild’ color and not carry other color genes or barking from domestic dogs. It is only in the deepest, most uncontaminated by civilization part of Africa where such native basenjis can still be found. Only these ancient descendants can offer us the proper type and can pull the breed back into the moderation of the original basenjis and away from the extreme caricatures that the show ring fads have created. DNA color testing can help provide us with dogs that carry only the “wild” color genes from the original basenjis. This can help us maintain a higher degree of purity.

ack in 2008 I was thrilled and delighted to be elected to judge this show, and after much anticipation the reality did not disappoint. I understand that the class entries were down somewhat, understandable given the state of the economy worldwide at the moment, but the quality on the whole was pretty high. In the males a fair sprinkling of top class

a light tidy and a touch of chalk. I was pleased to see that for the most part, square dogs were square because they were short in back and not because they were lacking in angles. However, a lack of ribbing was not uncommon, where sometimes chests sufficiently deep at elbow cut away too sharply. There were a few otherwise very typy basenjis that lacked foreleg length. I hope the preceding comments are taken in the spirit in which they are intended; as an outsider I was generally more than impressed with the quality of the entry and any minor criticism is only to pinpoint where attention might need to be focused; specifically for me, on front movement and heads. WINNERS DOG: from the 9-12 r\w class, Laurel S’Simply Goes Too Far, sound, well made, correct and compact, nice typy head and good eye shape and colour, really scored on movement, clean as a whistle coming and going, covered the ground well in sidegait

2011 BCOA National Specialty Comments by Judge Lisa Tyler, UK

animals, a good solid ‘middle’ of decent quality and only a few that were disappointing. In the bitch classes there were more of those really high class ones; this was reflected in the very good entry of specials as well, and a higher proportion of those coveted Awards of Merit went to bitches. Some observations on the entry as a whole; profile movement was generally excellent, much better than I am used to seeing; and there were only a few that weren’t good going away. However, clean front movement was a lot harder to find; while only a few were really untidy, a degree of toeing in was very common and cost a few otherwise top notch hounds higher awards on all three days. When a puppy does this it is unlikely to improve. Feet were generally good, again there were a few exceptions. I was heartened to find that front assembly seemed to be much improved from what I had observed ringside on recent visits, and fewer hounds lacked fill in front; that tacked on, super-straight, short upper arm was rare too. Heads still need work. Quite a few round and/or light eyes, long snipy muzzles and unappealing expressions; the best heads were on a par with what can be seen in Europe, but there weren’t a majority of those. Amongst the winners, I mostly had a good clean wedge and decent head planes, but not always the fine detailing of wrinkle and cushions. Interesting that a number of those with the most typy heads came from a small number of kennels; two of the best male heads were father and son, two of the best bitches, sisters. I found quite a few hounds that I would like to have seen a little more flesh on. My winners were all just nicely covered so that the ribs could be felt but not seen. Pliant, flexible skin was not by any means common, and I wonder how many judges know to check for it. Tri and brindle markings were usually good and clear, and it was a pleasure for me to note the multi-coloured nature of my final winners, with brindles going BOB, RWD and RWB, blacks taking SD and AOMs as did several of the tricolours. I was struck by the amount of preparation that some had clearly had. As a judge one can only assess what is in front of one in the ring, and it is not my job to inspect the contents of grooming boxes! But I hope our breed never becomes one that generally needs more than

and just kept moving better and better as the class went on, great feet and good bone, colour good, but coat a touch heavier than perfection. RESERVE WINNERS DOG: from Open Brindle, Karnak’s Raven Rock N Rollin, very elegant and stylish, good head and fine wrinkle, very clear markings and level topline, clean coming and going and a light free action, most promising. Also in contention for Winners were: Bred-By Exhibitor Dog: Sonbar’s Xactlyas Xpected; compact, elegant red with a pleasing well-wrinkled head, level topline, clean out and back, superb long ground covering stride on the move. Croup slopes a touch. 9-12 AOAC: Flutesong’s Imagine; substantial tri, lovely head shape with short muzzle, clean bone and good feet, level topline, strong rear, superfine coat and colour, short back. A little short in neck and not quite as good in front assembly as the winners. American Bred, Emerant’s Heez Got Gusto, very elegant, square and short-backed b/w with a nice head and pleasing outlook, fine coat, correct angles, decent mover; would like a touch more body on him. Open Red/White: Kibushi the Oracle; surprised he is not a Ch, masculine dog with a very nice head and good front, super clean front movement, short back, good rear angulation, tail standing off back a little. Veteran Dog 7-10 years: Ch Jerlin-SS General Powell, b/w male with lovely type and outline, substantial but elegant, nice head and good front, strong rear, good depth, covered ground really well on the move. Veteran Dog 10+ years: Ch Berimo African Warpaint, compact b/w who scored on his free light movement, not showing his age at all, correctly made and made the best of what he has got. Field Trial Dog: GCh DC Jerlin’s Our Zuri Pupin MC, LCX, r/w with exceptionally good head shape and almond eyes, level topline, good clean front and strong well-muscled rear, short back, slightly longer coat. Impressive that he is also the sire of the second and third, those performance genes are clearly being

THE MODERN BASENJI - Page - 19

passed on! WINNERS BITCH/BEST OF WINNERS: from BBE, Laurel S’Simply Shocking Sabrina; balanced, compact r/w with a pretty head, good eye and wrinkle, fine coat and deep red colour, short back. Absolutely sound in every department, free moving and with great athleticism, she never stopped showing for a second. Litter sister to WD, she demanded the top spot and could not be denied. RESERVE WINNERS BITCH: from 6-9 Puppy, Songwe’s Rock Star Legend; well marked light brindle, very feminine with a very nice attractive head and excellent wrinkle and earset. Excellent front with good forechest, good feet, deep chest and good heartroom, clean coming towards me which won her RWB. Also in contention for Winners were: 9-12 RW: Meisterhaus Signet One ‘n Only; perfection stacked and I liked her as soon as I looked at her. Nice head with short muzzle, correct front assembly, level topline and strong rear with high tailset and good reach, lovely profile movement and good going away, but not quite as good in front which cost her in the challenge. 9-12 AOAC: Berimo ‘n Taji Zenyatta; most attractive b/w with a very nice outline and overall type, moved very well when she settled to it, good front and pleasing outlook, correct rear, most promising. nd 2 in BBE, Taji’s Chock Full o’Moxie; oozed basenji type with lovely feminine head, fine bone, superb coat colour and texture, good feet, lovely profile movement, correctly angled rear. Just needs to fill a little more in front. Open RW: Meisterhaus Signet Hell or High Water; upstanding bitch, very typy and with a super outline; good front assembly, strong driving rear, moved very well when she relaxed. 12-18: Raven Rock n Karnak’s All That Jazz; petite and feminine red, nice head and good coat and colour, moved very nicely, good feet and fine bone. Veteran Bitch 7-10 years: Ch Taji’s Klassic Beauty JC; what a fantastic mover this tri bitch still is; absolutely effortless ground covering stride, clean both ends, could balance a glass on her topline, and she has superb tri markings and a very nice head, still in strong contention with the top bitches. Veteran Bitch 10+ years: Ch Jerlin’s Lyric in Black, stylish well constructed b/w with a very nice head, still an excellent mover all round, very well preserved and liked her a lot. Field Trial Bitch: DC Epic’s Accidental Magic SC, attractive tri bitch who looked very stylish going around, good coat and colour, nice head, strong front, competitive. AWARDS OF MERIT: GCh AB-Rafiki the Icon of Cool: the consummate showman, this very stylish tri never misses a beat, beautiful masculine head with perfect earset, crested neck into good front, rock solid topline and highset tail, well ribbed up, moving out well in profile and with a strong driving rear action. Toeing in in front. Ch Taji’s Klassic Beauty JC (see comments above) Ch Rosewood’s Mystic Illusion: extremely elegant upstanding b/w bitch with a striking outline and most attractive head, excellent front and matching well angled rear, short back and strong rear action, clean free movement, feet not her fortune. GCh Signet Meisterhaus Gossip Girl: one of the best heads in the entry and she is a good mover too; one that looked better gaiting than stacked, she moved her way up the order with her

head, sidegait and clean front. GCh Sonbar’s Sonic Shockwave RE NAJ: attractive masculine well-made dog, approaching the top of the substance continuum, clean moving in all directions and ultra sound. As a top performance basenji he knows how to do a day’s work and he is well equipped for it. Ch Klassic’s Gift from Paris: square, very feminine attractive tri who looks nice enough stacked but whose virtues become apparent when she starts to move, flowing free stride and clean both coming and going, couldn’t be overlooked. GCh Taji Goes Platinum: petite and extremely typy r/w bitch with a beautiful head and stunning fine orange red coat, double curl well set, good angulation and moved very well. A shade wide in front. GCh Klassic’s Slam Dunk: attractive well made tri with excellent sidegait. Nice masculine head, level topline, good depth of body, well ribbed up, just not quite the angles behind that he has in front but he makes maximum use of what he has. Ch Sonbar’s Xclusive Xtrovert; r/w bitch, still very much a baby but showing extreme promise, both chock full of type and sound as a bell. Not willing to stack nicely for more than a few seconds at a time, but did enough to show me what she had, and I fell for it! Ch Jerlin-SS General Powell (see comments on page 19) SELECT DOG: Ch Kasendo-Tutu Special Agent Gibbs, this ultra sound b/w is not a showy dog and really needs to have hands on to appreciate fully, when you realise how correct he is. Good clean front and feet with correct front assembly, level topline and strong rear, ample body, correctly shaped head, perhaps a little light in eye. In superb show condition with superfine coat, sound as a bell on the move. SELECT BITCH: GCh DC Bantu’s Playing Rochambeau SC, this r/w bitch was a little star, fabulous on the move with terrific sidegait, clean all round, typy elegant outline, beautifully put together with well matching angles, attractive head and expression, didn’t put a foot wrong and just had the misfortune to come up against one of the outstanding basenjis of this or maybe any era; but this little one made her work for it. Beautifully handled and put down to perfection. BEST OF OPPOSITE SEX: GCh Jasiri Sukari Win Tin Tin, I realised that this leggier r/w was a young dog but not that he was only 9 months old! Such poise for one so young; he has a beautiful head and wrinkle, very elegant and typy with good leg length and tight feet with good slope of pastern, good fill, excellent in profile and clean coming and going, high set tail with good curl, must have a big future. BEST OF BREED: GCh Meisterhaus Dazzle n’ Daze, have admired this lovely brindle bitch, and her mother before her, since she was a puppy, and so was disappointed to hear that she had been retired after her Westminster win, and that I would not get the chance to go over her and find out if she was as good as she looked. Well, her owners and handler are true sportsmen and so to my surprise, here she was; and yes, she is! Pretty, wedge shaped head, short muzzle, well arched neck into correct front, deep chest and well ribbed up, strong rear with broad second thighs, short back. Perfectly sound in all directions and totally effortless in profile. This is one that really does look as if she could go all day, and has that indefinable ring presence that makes a good hound a great one. The best basenji I have ever had my hands on and very difficult to fault.

BCOA African Stock Exhibition Manitowoc, WI September 22,2011 by Judge Mia Löwbeer Yulara Basenjis, Sweden

First

I would like to thank all of you who made this possible; it was an experience I will never forget! The BCOA who invited me, Amy who picked us up at the airport, Lisa, Beth, Heather, Judy, my steward, Robert who drove us to the airport, and then all of you old friends and new friends who made our stay very special! Thank you! I felt very honoured to be invited to judge the Africans, and I looked forward to it very much. I was very pleased to see the new imports from 2011 as well, five of them. They will all contribute in their own way to the population, and I hope we all will be able to make wise and intelligent decisions as to what to breed them to in the future. In came the puppies and I must say I was very pleased with them, especially the

½ Africans. I was impressed! The head of my winner was gorgeous, and she was so well put together and looked square and high on the legs. My BOS puppy was ¼ New African. Immediately you see the influence from our domestic lines. An interesting observation I had was that some of them were a little different, a lot of very loose skin, a little lower on leg, longer in body, and a little heavier. After I read the catalogue I realized they were from a little different area compared to those from the more northern part of DR Congo. This area has dense jungle so it is better to be lower on leg, as well as loose skin, to be able to run through the thick vegetation not found in the northern ones.

In the northern region it also is savannah and semi-jungle where dogs need to have longer legs to be fast enough to hunt the game. It was lovely to see the amount of wrinkle some of them had. So much needed today in the breed. It will be very interesting to see the result when they are mixed in with the domestic population. My adult winner has so much breed type, lovely head, square and high on legs with an easy movement. And was I pleased to see that he has the same mother as my BOB-puppy. My BOS adult had so much quality as well with a lovely shoulder and upper arm, and I discovered she was a Champion! It was fantastic to be honoured to be part of the Africans. I really think they have a future in the breed. They have so much to offer, and again we have to make intelligent choices when we breed to benefit the breed rather than promote our own egos. We have a breed to preserve for the future. The effort to bring dogs from Congo should be very much encouraged.

BCOA 2011 Agility

Susan Cook Agility Chair

Ten

basenjis and eight incredibly optimistic handlers attended the BCOA 2011 Agility Trial, held on Sunday, Sept 18th as part of the Manitowoc County Kennel Club Agility trial. The handlers sported bright yellow custom made team shirts, designed by Belinda Kaufman. The color made them really stand out in the crowd! Not untypical of September, the weather was cool and blustery. The wind played havoc with the timer, compounding the challenge for success that day. Although the dogs gave some excellent performances, most ended up over time. With 20 runs of basenjis we had one qualifying team, Jada and Jan Cook! Thank goodness we had a basenji to give all those awards! Name Jada Rusty Aubrey Arrow Kaper Bakari Miranda Whistler Chili Sonar

Basenji Club of America National Specialty - Manitowoc, WI Sept. 20 thru 25th, 2011 What the Host Group had to say...

Memory Walk

By Lisa Marshall, Assistant Chair One thing I love to do is look at the national club websites of other breeds. If a club lists an upcoming national specialty, I’ll click through the site to read all the specialty information -- the schedule, the list of judges, where the show is being held, and I also look to see what special events are planned. Memory Walk While perusing the Vizsla Club of America, Inc. 2010 national specialty website, I came across a fund raising event called The Memory Walk. What a wonderful way to celebrate the memories of special dogs and pets, and people who have passed on. Luminaries - candle-lit bags - were set along a pathway, each one representing a dog, other pet, or person who has passed on. I attended the Vizsla Memory Walk and loved what I saw. I even made a short video and showed it to some of the 2011 BCOA host club members. They were enthusiastic about having our own Memory Walk, so we scheduled it for Thursday night of the national week. People completed a sign-up form and donated $15 for each luminaria. A simple catalog, with a color cover depicting basenjis running down memory lane, included a short description of each of the 38 memorials. Many volunteers helped make the Memory Walk a lovely and memorable event. Rande Mathers r Cox designed stencils that she Fiedle Terry y b to placed inside each luminaria bag. Pho When the battery-powered candles were lit, the outlines of a basenji head and tail or a firefly glowed through the bag. Susan Cook and Lisa Tyler (our specialty judge) filled the luminaria bases with water for weight in case the evening was breezy, and Pat Wand enlisted other helpers to make an arch of balloons in rainbow colors using PVC tubing. This arch was the start and finish of

the pathway. Lisa Lemberger set up a DVD player to play a wonderful selection of songs in the background for all the visitors. Steve Mathers bought several small flashlights to hand out to people so they could read their catalogs as they wandered through the path of luminaries. Many more people helped - if I try to name everyone I will miss someone, but thank you to all. Those who bought luminaries set up displays of photographs, collars, toys and other mementos beside their luminaria(s). It turned out to be a lovely night to take a stroll down Memory Lane.

“Guess the Kennel Name” basket game

The Welsh Corgi 2010 National Specialty had a fun game called Guess the Kennel Name baskets. People put together baskets with items hinting their kennel names. People wrote their guess for each basket, the winner received a prize, and the baskets were then donated to their auction. Our host group liked the idea and it was really no work on our part other than publicizing it. Eight very creative baskets were entered and displayed daily in the show ring area. Forms were set out for people to use to submit their guesses for each basket. These were collected and scored on Saturday at lunch. A three-way tie occurred with seven correct guesses out of eight which prompted a drawing for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places. The winners, Karen Hutchison, Joyce Hughes, and Sandy Beaudoin, each chose a basket. The remaining five baskets went to the live auction. The 1st place winner also got a DVD of the 1988 trip to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, donated by Jon Curby. Thank you Jon! Thanks to the basket makers, NewWorld, Karla Schreiber, Sonbar, Sally Wuornos, Arendahl, Lisa Marshall, T’Zn, Sandy Tucker, Ruler and Dasher, Laura Caldwell, Klassic, Sue Kite, Bluegrass Collar and Lead, Nick Russell, Joy-Us, Sue Joyner, for their clever creations!

Basenji Club of America National Specialty - Manitowoc, WI Sept. 20 thru 25th, 2011 What the Host Group had to say... Elements, A Study of the Breed Standard by Clay Bunyard

Best Trick competition was held prior to the ELEMENTS Educational Exhibition. The surprise guest judge was Mayor of Manitowoc, Justin Nickels, who incidentally is also one of Susan Cook with the youngest mayors in the Arrow & Aubrey. U.S. (elected at 22, currently 25). Despite being a self-confessed “cat person”, Mayor Nickels got into the spirit of the event and judged the eight teams entered in the competition. In front of an enthusiastic crowd, the teams performed tricks ranging from “stick your paws in the air”, a find the treat “shell game,”and returning tissues to the trash can. In the end, Mayor Nickels chose the team of Susan Cook and her dogs, Arrow and Aubrey, as the Best Trick of the evening with their dueling tricks comedy routine. The ELEMENTS educational exhibition was first introduced at the 2010 BCOA National Specialty in

Greeley, CO as an informal and fun way to learn more about the basenji breed standard. Analogous to a “parts” class competition, the focus of the event is on the individual “elements” of the breed standard which are broken out into separate classes. Breeder judges from across the country were selected (and kept secret until the time of the event) for the challenging task of focusing in and judging only one aspect of the dogs in front of them. Exhibitors were free to enter a dog in any of the seven classes which resulted in a total of 40 dogs entered in the competition for 135 individual class entries. The competition was divided into two parts, starting with a round-robin judging at seven different judging stations to narrow the pool of dogs for each class down to the six highest scoring finalists (via numerical scoring). While not necessarily spectator friendly, the round robin had a significant time-saving Above: ELEMENTS judges.

ASFA Trial and AKC JC Tests Karla Schreiber, Field Trial Chair Decent weather and a gaggle of great-running hounds was the order for the day. Thirty-six basenjis were entered in the ASFA event, and ten basenjis earned both legs of their AKC JC titles. Best in Field winner was a repeat from 2010 – Sue and Bob Joyner’s DC Joy-Us Fire on The Mountain SC FCH (Micki), winning from the Field Champion stake! Putting on a field trial is an exercise in coordination, cooperation, and plain old hard work. This is the fourth time I’ve chaired a BCOA National Specialty field trial and each time I’ve hit the jackpot in terms of “cast and crew...” My hat is off to the following folks, and to everybody who helped out on the day!

Judges: Kevin Carlson, Scott Hurlburt (ASFA), Scott Hurlburt, Karla Schreiber (AKC JCs) Kevin and Scott generously judged our trial for what I’m 99% sure was something LESS than their actual expenses - THANKS guys! Judges’ Lunch: Lisa Lemberger. Judges’ Gift Bags: Lisa Lemberger. Equipment Hauler Extraordinaire: Terry Lemberger Terry shuttled the coursing equipment up to Manitowoc, procured a storage facility for it, brought it all to the field, and took it home ”Woot!!” And one more special thank you to all of you who ran your hounds in the trial, tests or practice, and the folks who just came out to watch. It was uplifting to see such a good-sized gallery cheering on the runners! As the old Jackson Browne song says… “You got up on your feet, and made the show!”

Wearables Committee Runs Amok! by Lisa Lemberger

kay, we admit it. We got carried away with the number of shirt options offered for the 2011 Basenji Nationals. Eighteen choices to be precise and in a range of seven sizes, which meant 126 different possibilities. To be honest, we didn’t do the math when we started. It all began with an amazing logo from Wanda Pooley, and the theme “The Test of Time.” Rande Mathers was immediately inspired to use safari colors, greens, golds and Photo by W anda Pooley oranges, to really show off the logo. But since those colors don’t look great on everyone, we decided it was important to include some neutrals like tan, blue and black. Then it was about marketing. Terry Lemberger gathered all the color swatches from the manufacturers’ websites and inserted a .jpg file of the logo on each swatch so buyers could see what the shirt would look like. Next, Clay Bunyard and Carmella Troisi-Hoerr loaded all the images onto Facebook® and the National Website and the sales began! In the first round of orders, we sold 205 shirts to 90 different people. There was such interest at the Specialty, we decided to do a second round of orders. Despite having to pay for shipping, we sold an additional 85 shirts to 50 people. Some people from the first round even ordered more shirts! Overall 120 different people ordered 290 shirts, an average of 2.5 shirts per person. And the reason we have all these numbers is because Lisa Lemberger is an Excel geek (she loves Pivot Tables!).

As you can see, it takes a village to do wearables! 

The Auction! By Nicole Freedman and Janet Ketz, Co-Chairs

he National Specialty received some wonderful items for its auction. Some of the live auction items included an authentic African bell, a signed Veronica Tudor Williams Blue Book, and a beautifully framed and matted original print of an African woman with three basenjis donated by Mike Work from his most recent trip to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Photo by Terry Fiedler Cox The silent auction was located near the ring every day for people to browse and bid. On Saturday after lunch, the silent auction was closed so the winners could check out early and not have to wait for the live auction Saturday night. This year people were able to check out through PayPal using either a computer set up at the live auction, or their own smart phones. Carmella Troisi-Hoerr, the 2011 national specialty website administrator, set up the PayPal site. Janet Ketz worked diligently to ensure that things went smoothly. Katie Campbell, Wendy Anderson, and Dennis Arrand made sure the live auction was fun for all. The auction raised $4,590. Special thanks to everyone who participated - by donating, working, and buying - to make this year’s auction a success.

And on Seminars...

from Lisa Marshall Thursday evening at the Holiday Inn a standing room only crowd gathered to hear a presentation by Dr. Jo Thompson, Oxford University educated primatologist who is an international expert on the Bonobo, considered the rarest of the great apes. In the course of her years of fieldwork in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Dr. Jo has lived in the remote areas where native basenjis are still found. Dr. Jo’s presentation included fascinating and beautiful photos of many native basenjis in her research areas. She also showed a video of basenjis on a hunt, providing valuable commentary on the dogs and the hunting traditions of the local people.h

Noel Baaser & Rainer Findel THE MODERN BASENJI - Page - 48

German Basenji Club Specialty TRECHTINGSHAUSEN Show - 28th August, 2011 Sally Wallis, Zande Basenjis

hen Noel Baaser invited me to judge the biennial show organised and run by herself and Rainer under the auspices of the 1st German Basenji Club, I was delighted to accept, and I hoped, for their sakes, that their confidence in my judging would be repaid by a nice big entry ! Noel’s email saying “66 dogs from NINE different countries – a record !” was hard to believe. I should like to say a very big “THANK YOU” to all those lovely people who travelled such distances and brought such a wonderful collection of super basenjis. The venue has to be among the very best I’ve ever judged or shown at. High up in the mountains above Trechtingshausen, the forest opens to reveal a large open space, mown grass and 6 gazebos grouped together for protection of the table, the raffle, the paperwork and the officials. Many exhibitors had their own tents along the bank overlooking the action. Eukanuba tape was pegged to the ground around the ring, not flapping in the breeze. A touch I feel could be emulated . . . The ring was big enough to really show off true basenji gait. Plenty of space to stride out. The rain was a bit of a nuisance but the open-sided tents also provided sanctuary for dogs and handlers when needed – We could see blue sky over the mountains and it was just a question of patience! The condition of the dogs exhibited was superlative, teeth were clean, nails (mostly) well clipped and they were well-presented. Quality was also there, in great abundance. I’m old-fashioned (or just old) and I like a wedge head with correct proportions and side wrinkle, small ears, a good crest – neck flow into the shoulders, a short back with a well set tail and a shelf. A balanced dog, in fact, that looks like a basenji! All too often these days, muzzles (fore-faces) are too long and side wrinkle & cushion totally lacking. Some ‘basenjis’ have little or no angulation – the hock descends in a straight line and there is no shelf. Before you shout. “There is no mention of ‘shelf’ in the Standard,” I know. But an adequately angulated basenji has a decent bum! I use the word ‘adequately’ because that is what I am looking for. NOT an over-angulated rear or front assembly. Adequate is more than adequate! If you take away the head and rear end of one of our wonderful little dogs what do you have? Not a basenji but a plain little brown dog. Basenjis are supposed to be high on the leg, but they are also expected to present a square outline. Thus I am not too worried about size (height) as long as the dog meets all my other demands. Elegance should not be sacrificed, and that was certainly not the case here. Movement was pretty good in the majority of cases. If space permits, any basenji will move truer on a loose lead. Strung up, the weight distribution can be distorted and the neck-shoulder flow spoiled. The grass was, by turns, wet and steamy, and although it was flat and level, the surface does make a difference to gait. I surprised myself – brindle is not my favourite colour for our breed, but if you read what I am looking for, you’ll admit that these attributes are far more prevalent in the brindles than in the reds. At risk of being facetious, I have to ask, could this be that they are closer

to African dogs, and there have been fewer generations for humans to ‘improve’ on what came out of Africa? ©Photo by Sabine Nagel The concept that every exhibitor has paid the same entry fee and is, therefore, entitled to the judge’s opinion, in writing, to take home at the end of the day, is wonderful. Every single dog there, not just the first two in each class. A good ring secretary makes it easy. In UK, you will often find in a critique the words ‘unlucky to meet 1’ or some other comparison between dogs. Judging each dog to the Standard and writing a critique there and then is both very difficult and also much easier. Its easier because you have the dog standing in front of you; you have just seen it move and have gone over it on the table. So you don’t have to scribble frantic notes you later can’t read and then compose a critique for the Dog Press – often weeks after the event. It’s more difficult because you can’t explain WHY you particularly prefer one dog over another – and its almost impossible to avoid using a similar vocabulary for every dog! I want to mention a couple of dogs in particular– Prime Time out of Africa. 12 years old, in superb condition and one of the truest movers on the day. She lost out on age to a younger Veteran male, Isimo ti-n Abu Teka, but only by a whisker. She is a great credit to her owner, and it was a pleasure for me to go over her. When Hannah Ekibondo came towards me on the out and back, having performed a superb, true, go-around, I almost gasped out loud. SUPER MOVER! I absolutely loved her. No paddling (crossing of the forefeet) – that girl came on as straight as straight, with a lovely forearm movement, shoulder muscles rippling under the skin. I knew Best of Breed would be a hard choice, but Hannah was cold by the final Challenge and the young man Matabichi Fahari Zola held his topline (and his nerve) and took the final honours. After the BOB challenge came the Sweepstakes - no entry fee, anyone can join in and very many did - for best wrinkle, best feet, best mover, best yodeler (the handlers yodeled encouragement to their charges). A lovely relaxing way to end the serious competition and I did take the opportunity to spread the honours around a bit! There were even spot prizes for least distance traveled by an exhibitor (5 kilometers.) and the first to enter the show. In the evening a Gasthaus in the town was taken over and filled exclusively by a large crowd of exhibitors and folks from the German Basenji Club - supper and conversation went on for hours. Exhibitors took the rain and my judging in good humour, and I am very grateful to everyone for making me so very welcome. Thank you, Sally Wallis

Basenjis in Brazil and South America By Savio Steele – Itapuca Kennel

Brazilian National Specialty Show 2011 and the scenario of the breed in Brazil and South America

the basenji breed is not popular in South America, we do not have an extensive number of breeders here. The majority are backyard breeders who don’t show and have poorer quality dogs. This makes it difficult to see many basenjis at shows. At most there may be no more than two basenjis entered, even in the big shows. However, we do have a few breeders doing their best for the breed. We do see good basenjis winning in great shows here, especially in Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Ecuador, and sometimes in Colombia and Chile. In Brazil, I’m the biggest enthusiast of the breed and the best breeder of basenjis since 2007 by our official ranking (CBKC). I have been a breeder since 2003. Since 2010 I have organized the only Specialty Show for basenjis in Brazil. We refer to this as our National Specialty Show. It really is not an official name since there isn’t a club for basenjis in Brazil. We don’t have enough breeders to create a club to organize a national specialty.

By the way, I and some others breeders arrange for this Specialty to always be held with a big all-breed show to attract the public to show off the breed. This year our National was held with the largest show in Brazil, the KCSP in October. This show is always held in San Paulo by the Kennel Club of the State of San Paulo (KCSP). The KCSP always organizes a festival of Specialties, too, one of them this year was our National in 14 of October. Mrs. Barbara D. Aldermann, long-time AKC judge from the USA, was a great judge. We had 17 basenjis entered. Mrs. Aldermann said that our dogs are really nice and certainly have the quality to be shown in USA. Mrs. Aldermann judged one of the all breed Shows, the most important of the weekend -- the International Show CACIB. Her choice for the Best in Show was Bupe Itapuca. This is the first time a basenji has won this prize in Brazil! For us, the KCSP is the same as Westminster for the Americans.

Canada From Arlene Bacon, ON Well, Autumn is definitely underway and closing in on Winter. Already my basenjis are getting lazy and fat. While good nutrition is an important part of their well being. sometimes even a little food is too much for my dogs. We held a booster for basenjis in October. The results are listed below. Add to that, we are gearing up for our next National Specialty. More information will be coming soon along with updates as news becomes available. Mark your diaries for the Purina National, a CKC Charity Event, on 9-11 March 2012. The CKC’s flagship event next year will be held in Hall 5 of the International Center in Mississauga, Ontario, close to the international airport. This event features three all-breeds shows, three obedience trials, three rally trials, junior handling, an international panel of judges and over $40,000 in prize money. Basenji Club of Canada will hold a booster on Saturday, 10th March, for which the club is offering

the following prizes: Rosette ribbons & medallions for BOB, BOS, BOW and BP, plus gifts for WD, WB, RWD and RWB. In addition, the BOB winner will take home a hardback, limited edition (No. 19 of 20) “Basenji Champions 1978-1989” by Jayne Wilson Stringer, inscribed and signed by the author. This is volume two of the three volume paperback series, all now out of print and difficult to find. The hardback versions are very rare and only came to light after her death. The BCOC will also have a booth in the Breeders Village this same weekend to highlight our breed. The show superintendant is http://www.mjnshowservices.com/. Check this link for details as they become available. A list of judges can be found on the Canuck Dogs website, www.canuckdogs.com (go to Ontario Events). BCOC is looking for rescue volunteers and foster homes in the Canadian regions. Please visit the Rescue page on the website for all the forms.
