FROM THE EDITORS

J

ust as spring has turned into summer and our young puppies are growing into the next generation of young hopefuls....The Modern Basenji -- Worldwide is changing and growing as well.

With the overwhelming response to our first issue, The Modern Basenji has already doubled its subscription and advertising base. It is with your continued support that we firmly believe that this magazine will indeed be the most complete and comprehensive basenji publication resource worldwide.

We are so pleased with the color results of our printer’s digital press. However, through a learning curve in the production process we discovered this machine does have a page number limitation.

Because we want to produce that same brilliant appearance in future issues, by applying some new typesetting techniques, The Modern Basenji is able to provide the depth of information between its covers that our readers enjoy and still keep the quality of the magazine bold and bright.

Why do people advertise their dogs? For many, the first thing that comes to mind are those “weekend warriors” that travel the country in the battle to be the top dog. The efforts of owners to keep their dog in the forefront of Dogdom require a great deal of publicity.

Another reason is to announce a big win -- that new champion or a dog capturing a specialty prize. An ad is an excellent way to thank the judges who recognized these dogs.

In a breed specific publication such as The Modern Basenji -- Worldwide, advertising comes into play to let people know about your kennel or to just show off the up-and-comers from the next generation of puppies

Several years ago, an author in one of the all-breed publications compared advertising to works by famous artists. Artists may not have had the opportunity to enjoy their fame because nobody saw their artwork until the artist was deceased. The author made this point for the same reason I am writing this. Breeding dogs is a form of art; art in motion. We breed to a standard and strive for perfection as we understand that standard. Many dogs are shown, become champions, and then retire to the sofa. Some may go on to become sires or dams of future generations. But how will anyone know?

The artwork is no longer out there for people to see and may soon be forgotten.

Advertising offers the potential for others to improve or expand on their own breeding programs. Advertising can be the media for research of a particular line; a way to open dialog for someone searching for a new show puppy. It may even offer the opportunity to welcome new people to the breed who want to show and uphold the future of basenjis. What an honor, as a breeder, to have someone call to inquire about using one of your stud dogs, or because they like your upcoming litter plans and are interested in a puppy from that litter.

The Modern Basenji is a great avenue to publish your “artwork!”

Is there a topic of particular interest to you that you would like us to explore? Please write to us and tell us your interest in subjects about basenjis! As we go forward with the Third Quarter issue we welcome your comments, suggestions, article contributions and advertisements.

Gardening With Your Dogs in Mind

By Lisa Stewart

​ Many common plants are toxic to our pets. It’s important to do your research on the plants currently in your pets’ living area and check before you buy new plantings to save both your pets and your wallet.

The ASPCA has a comprehensive listing of toxic plants on their website at: http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/poison-control/ as well as information on the national poison control center.

When laying out your outdoor living space, keep your pets’ comfort and safety in mind. When we moved to our latest house in Missouri, the backyard was lined with lovely rose bushes. While our basenjis ignored them for four years, the first time our whippet puppy ran outside, she connected with a rose branch and tore open her fragile whippet skin. Those roses are now located outside the fenced portion of the yard. The previous owner of our home had been a quilt artist who made her own dyes and had many plants growing on the property for the productions of the dyes. I researched the plants inside the area we planned to fence for the dogs and found several that were poisonous. Those were removed and replaced with more dog safe varieties.

We decided to replace the aging wooden deck with more dog friendly bluestone and gravel. This has been a very popular move with the basenjis who enjoy baking in the sun on the bluestone. When removing the wooden decking, our contractors discovered a trove of black widow spider sacks and spiders on the underside of the wooden deck floor. When we had the wooden deck the patio would become overrun with antss in the summer, no doubt drawn to the moist wood from the constant humidity in our area. Since removing the wood, we have had very little sign of

ants. There are still occasional black widows, so all my gardening is done with heavy gloves. I make sure to remove dead leaves and grasses as soon as possible to reduce the hiding places for brown recluse spiders and other local hazards.

Other hazards in our region is copperheads and water moccasins. I have removed as much tall grass and scrub trees as possible outside our fenced area to a distance of over 20 feet in all directions. While this does not remove the problem, it lessens the habitats for snakes and vermin. Our first few years in the house I saw snakes nearly every time I mowed the grass and relocated many rat snakes from the flowerbeds outside our fenced yard. By cutting back more and more each year, I am seeing fewer snakes. A product I am trying this year is called liquid fence and is advertised as environmentally and pet friendly. Their web site has snake repellent as well as several other products. http://liquidfence.com/

The two pests our patio seems to have encouraged are moles and gophers that burrow beneath the stones for the springtime warmth. Unfortunately our basenji, Trog, feels that mole babies are a delicacy, so this year I am trying out a Smart Solar - Solar Mole/ Gopher Chaser. We will see if that reduces the little furry buggers as I’m tired of worming the dogs from their tasty snacks.

Remember to provide shade for your pets and water if they will be outside for extended periods. We have a nice, healthy patch of bamboo that provides shade and is safe to eat. Our whippets are quite fond of taking a leap into the pond to cool off, and basenji Tempest is quite sure that the waterfall on the pond is her personal drinking fountain.

With just a little planning, you can make your yard a safe and fun place to enjoy with your pets. One year I planted a row of marigolds along my patio as I had read that they repelled mosquitoes.

As I was planting, I turned around to get one of my tools and there was elderly basenji Katie with a marigold in her mouth and a nice neat line of freshly unplanted flowers. She was having fun helping out around the yard.

In Search of a Gene ...

Fanconi Syndrome in Basenjis

by Dr. Jo Thompson

Fanconi Syndrome continues

to be an issue of great concern for most of us. In an age where global populations of people are able to communicate almost instantly, a concise and up-to-date source of information is needed. This article is an effort to provide a succinct overview of the pertinent facts about the ongoing search for the gene that, in its mutant form, is responsible for Fanconi Syndrome.

Fanconi Syndrome is a debilitating disorder of the kidney tubes in which certain substances (vitamins, minerals and sugars) normally absorbed into the bloodstream by the kidneys are instead released into the urine. There is no known cure. It is a type of renal tubule disease that leads to progressive and degenerative renal (kidney) failure. It is known in a number of dog breeds but most commonly in basenjis. In the basenji breed, Fanconi Syndrome is typically a late onset, fatal disease. The symptomatic dog excretes certain compounds and nutrients, much needed for normal health, into its urine that then are flushed away instead of being passed through the bloodstream to nourish the body. The sick dog may experience muscle wasting, metabolic acidosis (too much acid in the body fluids), weight loss, lethargy, poor condition, and ultimately organ damage leading to death. Based on a 2004 study of 60 dogs with idiopathic (unknown how it was acquired) Fanconi Syndrome, it was determined that the median survival time after diagnosis was 5.25 years and the median estimated lifespan was calculated to be between 11.3 and 12.1 years. This suggests that an afflicted dogs’ lifespan is not substantially reduced and, with early intervention and lifelong management, afflicted dogs generally have a good to excellent quality of life.

However, since the affected dog does not become clinically symptomatic (impaired kidney function) until after it is well into its reproductive years, the potential to spread this deadly disease into the population by breeding diseased or disease-carrying dogs before symptoms are expresssed makes Fanconi Syndrome the highest priority health concern for basenji owners and breeders.

The Basis of Heredity

All living organisms are made up of cells. Each individual dog has trillions of cells in its body. Inside the nucleus of each of those cells are the full set of canine chromosomes. The dog has 78 haploid (the number of chromosomes contributed from both sperm and egg cells during reproduction) chromosomes arranged in 39 pairs. One haploid copy is contributed by the dam and the other is from the sire. These two ‘like-chromosomes’ are then joined during the process of breeding (fertilization) to make a complete new paired-set (diploid) of chromosomes in each offspring.

So, although each dog has 78 chromosomes, we typically refer to two copies bonded together in 39 chromosome pairs: 38 pairs of autosomal chromosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes. The autosomal chromosomes contain the instructions for each individual’s phenotype characteristics while the sex chromosomes mainly determine gender. When each cell is examined under an extremely powerful microscope, the paired or diploid chromosomes look like little “X’s.”

Each autosomal chromosome is numbered 1-38. Some of them have been mapped in full or part. Each chromosome contains one continuous threadlike structured DNA double-stranded molecule. Chromosomes come in different lengths and each can contain thousands of genes. Each gene is a short section of the DNA double helix molecule. The canine genome as a whole is comprised of 19,000-20,000 genes. The genes are the coded region or segment of the DNA strand that occupy a specific position within a chromosome. They cipher the language or program for individual inherited traits or functions. All those genes are distributed unevenly on the chromosomes.

The canine genome (the genetic total of the dog’s hereditary information) contains the script for each individual dog’s THE MODERN BASENJI - Page - 6

phenotype written in nucleotides. The double-stranded DNA molecule is held together by four chemical components called nucleotide bases: Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), and Guanine (G). These structural units are the basic building blocks of DNA. They are coupled together into “base pairs” (bp) to form the double helix chain. The DNA molecule is simply a chain of these Illustration by Kathryn Gorney at www.arteest.etsy.com

four nucleotide pairs in varying order.

A large degree of genetic variance, known as polymorphism, exists between individuals. These genetic differences mostly involve variation in only one nucleotide, but they can be linked to genetic disease.

When quantified, the number of base pairs (bp) refers to the physical length of a sequence of nucleotides. The dog genome contains 2.5 billion base pairs (bp).

The majority of DNA does not seem to have a coding or regulatory function; its biological function is of questionable value at this time. The DNA that has no known biological function may sometimes be referred to as “junk DNA.” Yet this “junk DNA” takes up space in the genome and may play a crucial role in switching on and signaling behavior of the actual genes.

Since chromosomes are found in pairs (diploid), each gene on a given chromosome has a partner at the same position on the matching paired-chromosome. Each partner member of the matched gene is called an allele and each ‘allele pair’ influences a particular trait. If the two matched partner alleles are the same, the chromosome is “homozygous.”

If they are different, the chromosome

Solid Gold SunDancer

A chicken-based dog food is finally here.

Several years ago, Solid Gold decided to develop a chicken-based dog food. Then, came the bird/avian flu and chickens were contaminated and chicken-based dog foods were pulled off the market. Solid Gold waited. Then, in 2009-2010 the chicken/egg salmonella poisoning caused many chicken-based dog foods to be recalled.

Now, chickens have been given a clean bill of health, so Solid Gold introduced SUNDANCER. This unique dog food is an advance of all other chicken-based dog foods on the market. Peas are a good source of protein, but caused gas in many dogs.

However, we researched and found that if tapioca and the grain quinoa were mixed with peas, gas doesn’t form. So we used these unique ingredients.

Tear stains in some dogs are problems. It is usually an allergy to some ingredients in the dog’s food. However, we found Chia seed/ AKA Salba, neutralizes this problem. People may know Chia seed as Chia Pets, that clay head that sprouts “hair” when water is added. But Chia is much more than a novelty Chia has been called the Ancient Grain of the Future. Aztecs and Mayans mixed the seeds with water to form a gel. It was taken internally not only as a cleanser to remove irritants in the intestinal tract, but was used for endurance. It was the only food used by ancient warriors and athletes during an activity. When the gel was applied topically to wounds or skin irritations, the skin healed rapidly. We also put Chia for internal healing in our Sundancer dog food.

The most fascinating ingredient in our SunDancer is curcumin, the root from the turmeric plant. It has a 4,000 year old history for curing a variety of health problems in India. Curcumin is known worldwide as the “Indian Solid Gold”.

That’s a nice déjà vu expression. Perhaps, curcumin is most well-known for its use in cancer. The Indians say that there are 33 channels of cancer, and curcumin address all of them. The University of Maryland Medical Center found that curcumin lowered bad cholesterol to reduce the cause of stroke. It also reduced pressure on the eye. Curcumin gives mustard the yellow color and the spice flavor. See http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/tumeric-000277.html.

Dr. David H Frig, MBA found turmeric/curcumin inhibited amyloid plaque from forming in the brain which contributed to Alzheimer’s disease.

In 1958, the U.S. Congress wanted to fund a study for the elimination of cancer using turmeric/curcumin. But the big pharmaceutical companies put forth such a large lobby, that it was stopped. They said such a study would interfere with the revenue from their cancer drugs. One pharmaceutical person said that if this curcumin were so effective, they would synthesize it and make it into a prescription drug.

In 1971, President Nixon agreed to begin a new curcumin/cancer study. But the Watergate problem stopped that.

Look for our shiny purple bags of Solid Gold SunDancer dog food. We also use fish to support the DNA of Oriental dogs, Arctic dogs and dogs originally from England, Scotland, Ireland, and all water dogs (such as labs, poodles, terriers, retrievers, and sporting dogs). If you don’t add fish to these dog’s diet, they may develop allergies in the lower legs and chew or lick their feet.

Look for the two dancing dogs on the bag of our hermetically, vacuum sealed bags for freshness. Do not pour the food out into another container. Open the bag, scoop out what you need and close with bag clips or clothes pins. The act of pouring exposes the food to air. We use no chemical preservatives in our fresh Solid Gold dog foods.

A Funny Story Sissy, the owner of Solid Gold, was recently at a dog show and it was quite warm. Someone commented that the news said that the planet, Saturn, with its rings, was heating up the galaxy. A near-by 10 year old girl standing close by said she knew what Saturn looked like. She said “that’s the planet with the hula hoops”.

Now, don’t you feel old!

is “heterozygous.”

Fanconi Research Efforts in the Basenji Breed

The symptoms and scourge of the disease we now know as Fanconi Syndrome have been loosely identified by basenji breeders for well over 50 years. Focused research efforts began in 1978 by studying eight afflicted basenjis.

Progress was limited and there was still much uncertainty about whether the disease is acquired or inherited.

However, in February 1996 some excitement was generated by an article reporting that mutant mice suffer from severe Fanconi Syndrome caused by renal proximal tubular dysfunction. This launched our initial collaboration with Dr. Gary Johnson and his research team at the University of Missouri Department of Veterinary Pathobiology.

Although this study was only able to rule out two candidate genes as the disease causing genes, it fixed the BCOA in an ongoing, long-term relationship with the research laboratory in the quest to identify the disease-causing mutation form of the actual gene. In 2001, a survey of BCOA members ranked Fanconi Syndrome as the #1 health concern in the breed and prompted stepped up research to identify the mutation responsible for Fanconi Syndrome in basenjis and to use this information to design a DNA-based test for carriers of this disease.

DNA-Based Disease Research: 1) Pedigree Analysis

The first objective in DNA-based disease research is to analyze pedigrees to determine the mode of inheritance. By looking at family history (both the line of descent - the afflicted dog, its parents, grandparents, and back - as well as siblings in each litter), pedigree analysis is an important tool to study when trying to predict recurrence risk of a trait in future generations. Once phenotypic data is collected from multiple generations and the pedigree is drawn, careful analysis will allow determination whether the trait is dominant or recessive. But, this requires many generations to track backwards since a recessive trait can remain “hidden” for many generation lines in the pedigree.

When investigating a trait that is recessive or is one that people may not mention for fear of stigma, a minimum of five generations is most often recommended for analysis. Based on a large sample size spanning many generations, Fanconi

Syndrome is believed to be an autosomal recessive trait. However, other forms of a fanconi-like syndrome can be acquired.

These may develop from heavy metal poisoning and the use of certain types of antibiotics known as aminoglycoside antibiotics. It is difficult to differentiate whether the cause is genetic or idiopathic

when comparing the two phenotypic forms.

DNA-Based Disease Research : 2) Mapping Phase

Once the mode of inheritance was determined for fanconi, the scientists began a laborious analysis of the genome. Phase I was mapping. The Fanconi Syndrome candidate chromosome is known to be Chromosome 3 (CFA3). With the DNA from blood draws and the detailed clinical records of each dog, the researchers began looking for the positional candidate gene.

It is tedious, painstaking work and is a heavy drain on lab personnel (that can be irregular in numbers of people and hours worked). Efforts beginning in January 2003 worked to isolate DNA from basenjis with Fanconi Syndrome and their close relatives and to evaluate variant sequences associated with an affected basenji.

In mapping, sequences of nucleotides from 20 sibling pairs (paired affected and normal siblings) are plotted on a graph to determine where, on the chromosome, patterns of association emerge; one pattern for afflicted dogs and a different pattern for normal dogs. The X-axis is the location on the chromosome and the Y-axis is

the logarithm of odds (LOD) score.

THE MODERN BASENJI - Page - 8

Association of two base-pair sequence loci (locations) is assumed when the probability of them being together divided by the probability of them being apart is equal to or greater than the ratio of 1000:1.

The logarithm of this ratio is called the LOD score (Logarithm of the Odds). LOD scores of association measure as 1=a pattern of association that by random chance would occur 1 out of 10 times; 2=a pattern of association that by random chance would occur 1 out of 100 times; 3=a pattern of association that by random chance would occur 1 out of 1,000 times; and so on. The closer two loci are to each other, the higher the resulting LOD score. To be significant, a minimum LOD score of 3 must be observed.

As mentioned above, the polymorphism patterns associated with afflicted dogs may involve variation in only one nucleotide or they may be longer sequences of 2-4 bps repeated many times (microsatellites). Each peak on the graph represents a variation in nucleotide patterns associated with afflicted or normal individuals [example: afflicted peaks at nucleotide “G” but normal peaks at nucleotide “C”]. By looking for strong LOD score peaks, researchers can map DNA sequence patterns that are highly associated with afflicted individuals. The mapping phase identified a target region on Chromosome 3 which is highly suggestive of the causative gene being in a specific area. The “peaks” reveal nucleotide coding patterns unique to afflicted dogs and provide genotype patterns that distinguish afflicted from normal dogs. The mapping phase also identified other nucleotide segments that associate significantly with the target region.

According to the Canine Genetics Unit sequence map of CFA3, this chromosome has 93.5 megabases [a megabase is one million nucleotides / codings of base-pairs long unit of DNA molecules]. By 2006 the research team had determined the chromosomal location of the mutation and confirmed it to a segment that represents less than 2 percent of a dog’s DNA. However, that segment of chromosome still contained over 200 genes. They then mapped the 6 megabase (Mb) segment of Chromosome 3. Additionally, as new information hinted at potential candidate genes, the research team would examine those selected genes within the ever narrowing target region; always looking for the mutation that causes the disease. But, the direct gene was still

not identified. So a linked marker test was developed as a short-term interim tool in advance of the 2007 breeding season. That DNA linked marker test was released for use on July 14, 2007. It is a test for markers; not a test for the actual disease gene.

DNA-Based Disease Research : 3) Marker Linkage Test

A marker is an identifiable segment of DNA or gene (coding region) with enough variation between individuals that it can be recognized and its inheritance pattern can be tracked as it goes from generation to generation. It has a known location on a chromosome and a clear-cut associated phenotype (in this case an afflicted dog).

A marker can be a gene or it can be some section of DNA with no known function (“junk DNA”). Each individual dog has thousands of marker locations throughout the genome. The marker is used as a point of reference when following the trail of a mutation whose location is not known.

But, the marker is not the disease gene and can actually be located several “miles” (megabases) from the real gene location.

We do not know how tightly correlated the actual disease gene is to each marker or how tightly linked they are to the target region, whether the disease gene is left or right of the marker on the DNA strand, nor the intermarker distances (how far apart the markers are from each other). So, researchers have to identify markers (polymorphisms / coding differences) with a high probability of being inherited in the target region of the chromosome where the disease gene is assumed to be located (here called ‘disease linked markers’ or ‘mutant linked markers’ where the non-mutant status is “normal”).

There are lots of differences in the genome but the researchers have to determine which differences are associated with the diseased dog phenotype. Thus, in developing the linkage test, researchers had to identify markers that have an allele that is found only in affected and carrier dogs. As stated above, during the mapping phase other nucleotide segments that associate significantly with the target region were identified.

The tendency for genes or segments of DNA closely positioned along a chromosome to segregate together at meiosis and therefore be inherited together is known as linkage. During meiosis, crossing over and recombination results in genetic material exchange. Linkage is the association during inheritance of two or more genes on a section of a chromosome crossing over together at a rate greater than expected from independent assortment (random). In other words, linked markers are segments of DNA on a region of the chromosome that get

inherited together more often than would be expected. Crossing over can occur at any location on a chromosome, and it can occur at several locations at the same time.

When using marker linkage tests to predict potential for disease inheritance, there is always an expected margin of error.

About 5% of errors result from either false negatives or false positives.

During chromosome crossover, the marker and the disease gene can become separated and result in false results when reading linkage tests. As a result of chromosome crossover, the marker may not show up on the chromosome where the disease gene target region occurs, thus leading to a test result that indicates that the dog is clear / normal when it actually has the disease gene. Or as a result of chromosome crossover, tested individuals may carry the marker but not the disease gene. In that case, the linkage test leads to a false positive.

The Fanconi Syndrome linked-marker test looks for the three markers that have a high rate of association in inheritance with the disease phenotype and are all located within the target region of Chromosome 3. It is important to remember that this test is still in the research stage. It is still experimental. It is a test for the markers; not a test for the actual disease gene. The genetic markers themselves are NOT the disease gene. The markers are all linked to the mutant allele with a high rate of accuracy. The test results are based on reading the markers, not the disease gene.

DNA-Based Disease Research: 4) The Current Fanconi Test

The University of Missouri offers a marker linkage test that considers three markers associated with the target region on Chromosome 3 of the canine genome.

As discussed above, the expression of a particular inherited trait (in this case the Fanconi Syndrome) is controlled by partner alleles on the diploid chromosome. To determine the marker status requires that the researchers look at all six (two allele pairs on each of three markers) alleles. If the two matched partner alleles are the same, the chromosome is homozygous for the markers linked to the mutant gene region associated with the disease.

THE MODERN BASENJI - Page - 9

If they are different, the chromosome is heterozygous for the markers.

The pattern of sequences at these three paired sites is used to classify the tested dog based on the marker scores at each haploid chromosomes (one from the sire and one from the dam).

Currently, the marker (linked to the molecular target region associated with fanconi afflicted dogs) test is scored in four categories based on the readings of the six alleles and the probability of the tested dog being associated with the disease gene1: • PROBABLY CLEAR/NORMAL - all markers are homozygous normal or two markers are homozygous normal and one marker is heterozygous with one allele linked to the disease gene region.

• INDETERMINATE BETWEEN NORMAL AND CARRIER any combination of alleles not covered by the other categories.

• PROBABLY CARRIER heterozygous (having one allele on the chromosome linked to the disease gene region) at one, two, or three markers and homozygous (both alleles are linked to the disease gene region) at the remainder of the markers.

• PROBABLY AFFECTED homozygous at all three markers (all six alleles are linked to the disease gene region).

DNA-Based Disease Research: 5) Identification of the Fanconi Syndrome Disease Gene

The marker linkage test serves as a predictive test and not a definitive, direct test. Work continues on identifying the shortest chromosomal region of the affected dogs and searching for possible candidate genes within that region.

In January 2008 the research team announced that they had used a large number of DNA strands mounted on a small piece of silicon glass (chip) to look for DNA

sequences that differ between individual dogs. These sequence variations are known as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).

There are currently approximately 27,000 of the 2.5 million identified SNPs in the dog genome. Some are within genes and might cause the disease while others are located in “junk” DNA that is part of the genome. A SNP is a DNA sequence variation occurring when a single nucleotide [ A, T, C, or G] differs between individuals; in other words, a single base pair mutation at a specific locus. SNP chips provide a technique that easily and quickly analyzes thousands of markers at the same time. By genotyping analysis of SNP chips the researchers were able to narrow the target region to about 2.1 Mb where the disease gene is located.

As of January 2011 the wholegenome sequence of a Fanconi affected dog has been mapped and the research team is in the process of analyzing the data. That will certainly provide a critical and very big step forward as they narrow in on the actual disease gene.

Unfortunately, although the Fanconi Syndrome candidate gene is known to be on Chromosome 3, its specific identity and location continues to be elusive.

The ultimate goal is to identify the gene that in its mutant form is responsible for Fanconi Syndrome; to eliminate expression of the disease but not the gene. By offering a DNA test for the actual gene, breeders will be able to make more informed breeding decisions in an effort to avoid producing afflicted dogs and to provide better health management where appropriate. But, it is important to remember that most genes control a number of functions and, once the Fanconi Syndrome gene is actually identified, it may be discovered to impact other traits that are desirable.

It’s the Economy, Silly

By Lisa Tyler, UK

...or is it?

A

study of entry figures at shows in the UK over the last few years does not make edifying reading. With one or two exceptions such as Crufts and the breed club shows, which draw slightly better numbers, we are usually getting entries in the high twenties to low thirties (remember we only have 17 shows each year that have CCs on offer for basenjis, and most exhibitors live within four hours’ drive of the majority of these). It doesn’t seem so very long ago that this figure was closer to 60-70; and there could be up to 20 entered in the higher bitch classes. Entries at open shows have collapsed and only the specialist Hound Group open shows can be guaranteed to schedule classes for basenjis; even the three breed clubs’ 2011 spring specialty open shows managed to rustle up a terrible average entry of just 18. When I judged one of these back in the late 90s, I was commiserated with by my peers because it fell on Easter Sunday and I had a fairly modest entry of 45.

The most obvious cause for this isn’t far to seek. It’s not as if this decline is unique to our breed; judging most of the Hound breeds at open level I have noticed that even in the most popular, like Whippets, the average entry has dropped considerably.

The economy has certainly had its effect; some have lost their employment, many more are enduring a greatly reduced standard of living and struggling to pay mortgages, and the price of petrol -- heading towards $10 a gallon as I write -- has made even our modest long distance drives incredibly expensive. People are having to cut down the number of shows they do, or enter fewer dogs; and at $40 plus per entry, who can blame them? But what are exhibitors saying about how they are making those choices?

Judges are a factor; as always! There have always been murmurings about incompetent judges and those that can’t judge the right end of the lead. That is nothing new! But exhibitors are now thinking much more about the cost of entering a particular show, and if they feel (rightly or wrongly) that they won’t get a fair crack of the whip, then they won’t enter as casually as they might have done in the good times, just for the day out. Competence apart, one of exhibitors’ pet gripes is judges whose names appear over and over on panels with the bare minimum gap between appointments (and it’s not always all-rounders who are guilty of this). Perhaps we should be looking at a minimum of three years between appointments. This would give ample scope for a judge to go over the same dog as a youngster, again in its prime and again when the dog hits the veteran years. Show committees have to take some responsibility for this. We try to get them to look outside the box by noting the date of a judge’s last CC appointment on the list we send them; but for whatever reason they often still go with the ‘same old same old’. It’s telling that the best entry of the year in 2010 was for a specialist who hadn’t judged the breed since 2001. Another gripe is judges who don’t write critiques, a KC policy. So, how do some judges keep getting away with not posting a critique time after time?

Then there is the difficulty in making up champions. We pride ourselves that our title is the hardest in the world to get, with up and coming dogs having to beat champions to get those coveted CCs; we certainly don’t want ‘cheap’ champions but only two basenjis were finished in each of the last two years. It’s a matter for debate, with some calling for a system in which there is a separate class for Champions, for Reserve CCs to count towards a title in some way, or for all the general championship shows to have CCs for all breeds; one suspects this is an argument that will run and run.

We must also consider the sheer pace and content of our busy modern lives; there are so many other calls on people’s time, especially at weekends with the rise of Sunday trading, lots of extra-curricular activities for children and work stretching into leisure time. The open shows have probably been the main sufferers from this.

So, while the state of the economy and the sheer cost of showing these days is probably the main factor, there are other supplementary issues that, in combination with how hard up most of us are feeling, may well have contributed to the current decline in entries. Registration figures are of course firmly linked to this; but that question is for another day. 

By Katie Campbell

The word alone stimulates the imagination. It’s a powerful word to Americans. In a very general sense, I think that most of us consider Africa one of the most populous continents of the world, in spite of having been plagued by a barrage of diseases for decades, and yet more recently – stunningly high degrees of political unrest. isually, when Americans think of Africa, our minds reference photos of exotic cats, elephants, and zoo resident creatures…and on a more dismal note -- starving children.

Within the basenji community, however, there is an additional element of wonder and awe, as it is the indigenous home to our beloved breed. Recently I had the great opportunity to travel to Uganda and then Congo to marry my imagination of Africa with my own reality.

As most of The Fancy is aware, we started with a very small basenji gene pool in the western world – proliferated upon -but not expanded for decades. The study of animal husbandry proves that small gene pools are dangerous on a number of levels.

Meanwhile, technology has advanced and modern breeders now have access to a barrage of various health and genetic tests which most responsible breeders take advantage of in determining the state of their stock. With this information, many well intentioned breeders eliminate “flawed” candidates from their breeding programs in their effort to eradicate various diseases. But on the other hand, this gallant effort further restricts the breadth of this abnormally small gene pool that leads to other inherent dangers.

I was fascinated by the reports from the last Avongara import trip that there were concerns about the next trip perhaps being the last. With the alleged rampant deforestation (thus concern of increased access between areas), and the

V

advancement of society, many have feared that the “purity” of the native basenji is being compromised by cross-breeding. I inquired with those who were on the last trip and before I knew it, I was invited to join them on the next trip.

Our group consisted of: Jon Curby of MO (his fourth trip), Michael Work of NY (his third trip), Fritz Clark of NH, Carrie Lewis of VT, Ethel Blair and Bev Reid of Australia, and me from Seattle. Little did I know at the time that it would take nearly two years for the climate, political unrest and our personal schedules to line up before we could book our trip. In the end I chose to extend my time in Africa on the front end of the trip by touring Uganda including big game safaris through Queen Elizabeth National Park, mountain-trekking with gorillas in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, and canoeing upon Lake Bunyoni…but for this article I’m going to focus on my time in Congo, more specifically in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

The area that we stayed is Dungu (DOONG-goo) which is a village in the Haut-Uele Province of the DRC. It’s in the upper northeast region of the country, not too far from Sudan, south of the Garamba National Park, near the point of confluence of the Uele and Kibali rivers. The climate there is tropical, though not as lush as one might expect. The terrain there is considered wooded savannah. As a native Seattlite, I considered it humid and dusty.

This dust – which is everywhere - is red in color; It comes from the clay earth there; It THE MODERN BASENJI - Page - 12

ranges in texture from a powder to a grit; It gets into your shoes, clothes and is almost impossible to launder out (I left almost all of my clothes there at the mission); And it sticks to your skin and hair like a magnet.

Few homes have walls. Most houses are more like a thatched roof functioning as an umbrella on wood stilts. Walls impede air circulation so they aren’t really practical. Having electricity in your home is considered a luxury that few people inside or outside the city limits have. No one has landline telephones. Many people have cell phones. They buy minutes on a card and replenish as needed. I saw one television at the mission and that was it – none in private homes. No one has running water.

Water....It’s something that everyone reading this article takes for granted, and yet the arrival of water is a daily achievement in the Congolese culture.

The mission where we stayed has water delivered by truck daily, and there are three grades of water: Top grade drinking water; Red grade washing water; and then Blue grade water which is used to flush the toilet. Yep, no toilet tank lever (we were grateful to have western toilets – period) rather you hurl a bucket of water down the toilet after you’ve used it…big buckets and small buckets provided…I think you get the picture. The mid-range grade of water is used for bathing and laundry. We were rationed roughly 3 gallons of water per day for washing, delivered in a red bucket to my chamber door daily to use for

THE THE MODERN MODERN BASENJI BASENJI -- PAGE Page -- 13 13

washing/cleansing. We were able to hire out laundry services to one of the women in the mission named Emme. Emme’ washed my clothes in the typical method: That being by hand in red grade water and then hung to dry in the sun. One afternoon I saw Emme’ collecting my underwear from the drying sun and ironing each piece with her coal heated iron (Yes…like the one your grandmother or great-grandma used before electricity). I told her in my broken French that such service was unnecessary, but Emme’ insisted that ironing was required to kill the fly larve that is invariably laid upon wet clean laundry when it dries in the sun.

Needless to say, I was very pleased to have Emme’ iron my underwear.

In the private sector, women and children travel as far as five miles, 2-3 times daily to fetch water from the many clean water wells that have been engineered primarily by various American humanitarian charities. You may have seen these yellow plastic rectangular containers in photos from time to time.

They are everywhere. When full, each one weighs about seventy-three pounds. We see Congolese travel on the dirt roads with these containers on the back of bicycles and balanced atop the heads of these familial couriers. It’s a daily chore for them, no more imposing than our own routines of charging cell phones and checking the gas tank in our cars. We’re grateful to have our productivity gadgets. They are grateful to have clean water available regardless of what it takes to get it. But the standard of living gap is so immense, its hard to wrap your head around it.

The primary language that we encountered there is Lingala. The primary western world language is French (a remnant of the Belgian occupation). The children there are taught French in school as a secondary language to Lingala.

Fortunately, our guards and guides spoke Lingala fluently because that’s the only language used out in the bush. We stayed at the Catholic mission in Dungu (well protected), though I don’t believe that any of us in our group are practicing Catholics.

The mission was not fancy, but we did all feel safe there. Safety is an important consideration there. Quite literally, DRC has the world’s worst reputation for occurrences of sexual assault and lack of penalty. The Rwandan rebel regions are the most dangerous. We were in the territories monitored by the Azande chief system that appeared to be very effective in governing everything from crime to real estate commissioning to education to social justice. We even had the opportunity to meet the Chief!

Logistically, traveling in Congo is

nearly an oxymoron. They do not welcome nor offer international tourism; hence, their service industry is more than a century behind ours. This extends to lodging, restaurants, entertainment, transportation and so on and so forth. Personally, I akin my stay in Congo as much more like camping than traveling. With the exception of the beautiful people and the dogs, the natural wonders of Congo are rather lackluster in my opinion. If you intend to travel on the roads at all, the seasonal windows are very short. And there are very few roads at all.

Let me offer some perspective.

Consider the square mileage from the Mississippi river to the Atlantic coast of the continental United States. That’s almost exactly the same size as the DRC. Officials there told us that the total amount of roads (highways plus residential streets, but not including driveways or machete’ maintained pedestrian paths) if you laid them end to end it totals only about 300 miles. Stop and imagine that for a minute.

Imagine what that implies for logistics (transportation of goods).

Imagine what that implies for anyone or any creature getting around and traveling any substantial distance.

Furthermore, on our trip over the course of eight days, we saw no paved roads at all. We were told that the total amount of paved roads if you laid them end to end is about 140 miles worth and we assume that most to all of those paved roads are in and near Kinshasa , the capital of DRC - Democratic Republic of Congo in the west end of the country.

The roads in DRC were built by the Belgians prior to 1960. After a war there in 1977 some road maintenance was performed on the roads near Dungu (all of which are unpaved). However, they have not been maintained since, not even once.

The rainy season wreaks havoc upon these red dust roads, which makes them nearly impassible. The dry season drives many of the more feral basenjis deeper into the bush to keep cool. Even those basenjis that are fairly domesticated stay in cool places, usually out of sight, which effectively keeps them out of our view. We were there at the shoulder season between the dry season and the rainy season, so we saw the roads just about at their best. Yet still, it was an hourly occurrence to see potholes 3-4 feet deep. Consequently, motorcycles and bicycles are - by far - the most efficient type of land transportation there. However, with basenji acquisition as our mission, we needed more than two-wheelers.

We rode in two white SUVs on our daily safari outings which must have appeared as some sort of entourage because every time we passed people on the road THE MODERN BASENJI - Page - 14

they would wave. Children often rushed the vehicle, grinning gleefully from ear to ear, shouting “Bonjour!” or “Bote!” – warmly welcoming us to their neighborhood.

Clearly, two cars traveling down the street at the same time (in the same direction) was a rarity that warranted such a greeting.

For those of us having a window seat in the vehicle, we were always on watch for basenjis, but it also meant that you shared a perpetual wave with the local people there.

We sort of felt like The Queen waving (elbow-elbow-wrist-wrist-wrist)! Only a handful of times did we even pass another four-wheeled vehicle, which was probably a good thing because maneuvering past another car AND those gigantic potholes took great finesse which our very competent and experienced drivers were able to manage certainly much better than I ever could.

“The Bush” is just that – thick as a backyard bush or blackberry brambles.

Sure, a basenji has the agility to slither through such obstacles nearly unscathed, but it is a lot of work for them to do so.

In equatorial heat, they choose to save their energy. So regardless of the season, basenjis travel the road just like everyone else does. This should be of no surprise, as we all know them to be a distinctively clever breed, ever leaning towards efficiency in accomplishing their task at hand. Conflict rang in my mind as I correlated and wrestled with the contrast of the native basenjis using the open road versus the warning heralded in basenji folklore about more basenjis dying of being hit by cars than of natural death. Something just sort of made me jump inside seeing a basenji in the roadway. In any event, when you see the conditions of the roads there, as sparse as they are, and you compare that to the density of the bush, you understand the how and why the population and culture have remained nearly purely indigenous.

The race/ethnicity of the native people there are not cross-bred, and neither are their dogs.

My travels to Indonesia and the Far East, as well as eastern Europe prior to their association with the E.U. certainly helped prepare me for this trip. In Africa, you learn quickly to abandon any expectations of western comfort and sanitation, and to be extremely careful about what you eat and drink. People who lose their temper are assumed to be mentally unstable and are abruptly ignored. So you need to stay flexible and be able to just go-with-theflow. There were days on the trip that I asked myself, “Where ARE we, anyway?

And what am I doing here?”

I will confess that after being away from home for over two weeks, I was ready

to come home. Maybe after a week traveling through Uganda I was just beginning to feel incarcerated in my 70 sq. ft. bedroom of six concrete walls and no viewing windows in Congo. Maybe it was because I hadn’t had a real shower or washed my hair in a week.

Maybe it was because I was one of the few who hadn’t become ill on the trip (yet) and I was anxious to get home before I had any such misfortune. Needless to say, this is not an appropriate trip for someone who has not traveled much, or expects western accommodations, or needs their routine in a certain way.

The primitivity – the inherent simplicity – is what makes African culture and sociology more interesting to me. Upon arrival, I found myself stripped down to a raw simplicity, and then upon my return to the States, I reflected upon my experience, and there was a discord. Although I expected a huge cultural difference, I still felt a culture shock upon my arrival in Africa, (which is not forgiving), and then there was an immersion shock upon my return home. So the “trip” lingered as I quietly meshed this experience into my personal frame of reference for “daily life” at home. That experience is one that I hold parallel to the actual voyage. Let’s face it, in this day and age, you can look at photographs from other basenji fanciers’ trips to Africa, you can read the books that have been written, you can watch the Discovery channel and PBS and see much of the African landscape. But there is no media experience that can substitute for the emotional impact that the physical experience of travel offers.

The basenjis in the Congo differ from what we see in the western world, which is to be expected. Western breeders have selected for pretty “fancy points” since the original imports. We did not see any tightly curled tails on this trip. The vast majority had gaily held saber tails and more than a few had tails that actually rested on one hip when at ease. We saw the four colors of basenjis called for in our Standard with the overwhelming majority being the red & white, distantly followed by black & white and then brindle & white and then tri colors the least populous colors seen.

In addition we saw brindle-pointed tris, and some of the legendary colors that are rarely, if ever seen in modern day: blues, mahogany tris, and even a cream!

Since returning home and sharing photos and stories with fellow basenji fanciers, when I recount the non-Standard colors that we saw I’m often asked, “Did these wild dogs really look like basenjis?” and “Do you feel sure that what you saw in odd colors were still ‘pure’ basenjis?” Where we were, they certainly looked like (what I would consider) pet-quality basenjis. In my THE MODERN BASENJI - Page - 15

opinion, maybe two or three that we saw could have been successful in the American show ring including one that hung around the mission daily (he didn’t like white people, but we enjoyed drooling over him).

In my experience of having bred 8+ generations along a couple of different arms of my bloodline, I have had the experience of overcoming liabilities and capitalizing upon assets by appropriate close-breeding and out-crossing. The faults we saw in these native dogs, I’ve seen before in the ring and/or in my own whelping box. I am of the opinion that collectively we, as a fancy, have overcome these faults before, and we will again through selective breeding. The paramount opportunity here, in my opinion, is to save the breed by opening up the gene pool and AKC stud book. Peer pressure for health testing along with show/titling systems (meaning the AKC coupled with other respected countries’ registrations) will assure that the “pretty” basenji is not endangered.

As for characteristic differences, I think the biggest difference between native dogs and domestic basenjis was the way that they behave. Keep in mind that these dogs know no boundaries. They are free to come and go as they please. They are not incarcerated inside homes with walls, nor within fenced yards, not even upon leashes much less crates - - all of which we westerners value as requirements for responsible basenji ownership in our busy (and dangerous) technologically advanced environments. Native dogs just wander all day long and go where they are comfortable and can get food. They approach other basenjis in completely different manner without “snarkiness.” Occasionally we would see the posturing, but same-sex packs were not at all out of the ordinary.

I adore this quality in the native basenjis there. We found them outgoing, but not at all sharp or defensive. It was beautiful.

Collectively we exported six basenji puppies (estimated to be 8-12 weeks of age at the time they left the continent): 1 red & white male destined for Australia; 3 red & white females, one tri-color female and one black & white female – all to reside in the USA. We will be writing more specifically about them in the months to come as they mature and proof out.

It was the trip of a lifetime, one that I’m not ready to commit to repeating yet at this point, but one I shall never ever regret.

As a basenji fancier, having dedicated twenty years to creating a bloodline that I felt proud and responsible for, it was a fantastically humbling experience to view multiple arms of Mother Nature’s direct bloodline of basenjis without Fancy interference.

FANCONI ...Dealt A Bad Hand

ACE’S STORY Photo by Dave Thompson

Ace the Bathound

By Jessica Ryno

In September of 2007 my little basenji girl, Ace, tested ‘Probably Carrier’ for Fanconi Syndrome. Less than four years later on January 31st, 2011 Ace was diagnosed with Fanconi.

T his past December and January Ace began drinking more water and started having potty accidents in the house. So I made an appointment to take her in for what I thought was a urinary tract infection (UTI) or something similar that could be causing the incontinence.

Saturday, when we arrived at Dr. Stan Carter’s clinic, one of the vet techs came out and took a urine sample from Ace. We went inside to wait for Dr. Carter. After a few minutes the vet came in and asked why I had brought in Ace. I explained about the accidents in the house and how I thought she might have a UTI. He said there was no indication she had a UTI, but her urine did show the presence of sugar (++++). That is when he asked me if she had been DNA tested for Fanconi.

“Yeah, she came back carrier.” I was so sure it was not Fanconi that I really could

not comprehend what he was saying. No UTI, spilling sugar, Fanconi test…what is going on??? I just didn’t understand.

This was supposed to be a simple trip to the vet. My head was spinning. “It could be diabetes. We need to do some blood work.” he said. I still don’t know if he really thought there was a chance it was not Fanconi ….or if he just could not break my heart. I agreed and assumed the position with Ace, as he drew her blood. Later standing alone at the desk waiting to pay, it hit me…Dr. Carter thinks she has Fanconi!

First thing Monday morning my phone rang. It was the call I had been waiting for all weekend, the call I never wanted to get. It was Dr. Carter, “Her blood sugar looked fine, so it has to be Fanconi.” I am sure I will never forget that day. I rushed home in an ice storm to get Ace to have her blood gasses done. There was a blizzard on the way and I wanted to get this done before we were all snowed in.

Thankfully, Dr. Carter had the venous blood gas machine, and thankfully, I had him to help me. If I was going though this with a vet that did not understand basenjis and everything that goes along with them, this would have been much harder. He ran her blood gasses; everything was off, but not too bad. Maybe we caught it early. In all honesty, I will tell you I had been crying from the moment I got off the phone with him until I walked through the clinic door with Ace. After that, though, it was all business. Dr. Carter told me what I needed to do, and I got busy. I ran around collecting as many of the required pills as I could find.

Ace was started on Dr. Gonto’s Fanconi Disease Management Protocol that night.

Ace needs six pills twice a day -- 3 Sodium Bicarbonate 10 mg, 1 Potassium 550 mg, 1 Pet-Tab Plus, 1 Calcium Phosphorus -- plus a Centrum (human vitamin) and an Amino Fuel (human body building supplement she only needs once a week.) Ace was put on a new diet that includes canned wet meat. She had a four-week recheck and her levels looked good. Dr. Carter thinks we may have caught it early. Considering we were not looking for Fanconi, we really lucked out.

The day Ace was diagnosed with THE MODERN BASENJI - Page - 18

Fanconi I contacted the University of Missouri to inform them of her status and express my concern for her three puppies.

In March, Ace’s Fanconi test was re-run and she came back ‘affected’. At the same time, they also re-ran Ace’s three pups.

When her pups were originally tested back in 2007, two pups tested ‘probably carrier’ and the other one ‘probably affected’. On the re-test, all three pups came back ‘probably carrier’. No one has been able to clearly tell us why there were changes in the results.

We all know that the Fanconi test is a linked indirect marker test and were all told over and over again that the test was not 100%. The results are listed as ‘probably clear’, ‘probably carrier’ or ‘probably affected’. On top of that, there is always the chance for human error. The test is a great tool to help breeders make the best decisions they can for our breed. However, when it comes to the dogs in our lives, we need to pretend that the test does not exist. We need to go back to test stripping every dog, just like we did before the test came along. That is the only way to find Fanconi early and that could make ALL the difference for the dog.

Chances are that you will never live with this guilt that I am living with now, but trust me, you don’t want to! My girl was sick and not feeling well and I was not doing everything that I could have been doing to help her. I let her down. Don’t let the dogs you love down.

Please, please test strip your dogs!!!

Diamond finished his Grand Championship at the Rose City Classic January 22nd going Best of Opposite Sex out of an entry of 39 for his fifth major. Life was good. About two weeks after the show Diamond developed some diarrhea. Although he had never picked up a bug at a show before, it wasn’t too uncommon, and I wasn’t alarmed. He was started on some Metronidazole and his condition improved quickly. I did notice, however, he was drinking more water at that

Fortunately all of his

I collected thought that maybe Diamond’s saliva as he had Leptospirosis. directed by the kit the day She wasn’t very confident in the I received it and mailed way she stated it back the very next morning, which was this possible diagnosis, March 4th. At the time and I was of this writing I still have pretty not received a result notification from the skeptical that he had Lepto. Then, University but I did almost as an afterthought, learn she said he had a lot of glucose in his urine. My head starting reeling and my stomach hit the floor. I blurted, “Oh my god! He has Fanconi.” My world turned upside down.

I quickly made an appointment with the Julie & Diamond ~ Photo by Laurie Gregory specialist veterinary clinic since they are one of very few places in my area you can have venous blood gases from a friend that his test results run.

She was currently treating several other basenjis for Fanconi, had tested as Affected. so I felt good about that.

Dietary Management for Fanconi Affected Basenjis

Any good quality dry food may be fed, with the addition of at least one can per week of HIGH PROTEIN “wet meat” mammal meat based dog food (beef, lamb, etc.) to replace long-chain amino acids and phosphorus. Poultry based foods have proven far less effective in the management of this disorder then mammal based meats.

The only exception to this high protein diet, in this protein-losing uropathy, is documented renal failure (increasing BUN/CREATININE):

As more dogs have survived long term on this protocol, we have seen multiple cases of renal failure onset from various causes, most often just the “normal” slow onset renal failure of aging. In these cases we have HYBRIDIZED the Fanconi Protocol to allow for the maintenance of acid/ base chemistry, while correcting the problems of the renal deficiency. We start with life saving measures as needed, including fluid, peritoneal or serum dialysis as needed. We then institute a diet as follows: 1.

LOW protein dry or “canned” food. Fresh water remains freely available.

2. Add in up to 1/2 tablet of the AMINO FUEL or other amino acid preparation daily, to cover our protein loss.

3. Increase CENTRUM type multivitamin to QOD. 4. Drop the PET-CAL type tablet from the regimen, since in renal failure serum PHOSPHORUS tends to go UP.

BREEDER INTERVIEW Breeder Jan Robert

TAMSALA BASENJIS Australia Ch Tamsala Calico Patches (Cricket)

What is your kennel name?

TAMSALA. This was a combination name taken from my Tamaiti, Audrey de Little’s Selvas, and Barbara Simcock (NZ) Impala as we were all working together.

How long have you been breeding basenjis?

I bred my first basenji litter in 1971 under the prefix Janjinja - which was changed to Tamaiti in 1972 as I had tricolours by then so a ‘Jinja’ name wasn’t appropriate!! I have been owned by basenjis since 1968 when I bought my first (Kaspar of Kariba)

What dogs that you bred do you feel have made the biggest impact on your breeding program and why?

Three girls (none of whom became champions) have made the biggest impact on my breeding.

Tru Blu of Woz (Imp USA) “Angie” Bred by Cecelia Wozniak.

Although not bred by me, I feel she should be mentioned as her son and daughter still influence my bloodlines today. A tiny (but with substance) 14-inch black /white with a deep chest, excellent shoulder/humerus angulation, beautiful dark almond eyes, and the best feet I have ever seen in a basenji. In her one and only litter ( to BISS Ch Tamsala Silkn Sage) she shaped my bloodline through her son RUBISS Ch Tamsala Jazz Rhythm and daughter Tamsala Rhapsody NBlue.

Tamsala Rhapsody NBlue “Molly” - My most valuable brood bitch.

Molly’s soundness was evident in every litter but one - that to Prince did not prove to be a good combination. Molly loved babies and hated the show ring. She is the dam of six champions from three different sires. Her children, when blended with brother Fred’s offspring and combinations from Caddi/Ch Tamsala Kudos Kulindi, proved an excellent mix. Molly was the dam of the world’s first basenji frozen semen litter. Her champion children were Multi BISS Ch Tamsala Tan Ariki, Ch Tamsala Himself(AI), NZ Ch Tamsala Bertha Kitt(AI), Ch Tamsala Phineas Phogg (AI), NZ Ch Tamsala Designer Genes, and BISS Ch Tamsala Calico Patches.

Tamsala Make a Wish “Misty” - (RUBIS Ch Tamsala Himself(AI) X Three Wishes of Woz(Imp USA) - Misty made an early decision never to accept car travel, so became an excellent Mum instead. She is the dam of Dual Amer Ch Tamsala Rocket Socks MC, LCX (Exp USA), Nordic Ch Tamsala Makes Waves (Exp Sweden), Amer Ch Tamsala Lucy Locket (Exp USA), Aust Ch Tamsala Dashing Derek, Aust /

Indonesian Ch Tamsala Sunnyside Up, and Aust Ch Tamsala Sunworshiper.

Although once again not a Tamsala bred bitch, mention must be made of Amer/Aust Ch Sukari-Jasiri Mary Puppins (Imp USA) “Mary”: Mary excelled in the breeding box, when mated back to Tamsala boys. Her children included Ch Tamsala So Love Me Lots, BIS Grand Ch Tamsala Hot Time Tonite, Multi BIS/RUBIS Grand Ch Tamsala Hot Diggity Dawg, BISS Amer Ch Tamsala Hot Onya Heels, Ch Tamsala Mitena Mystic, and BIS Grand Ch Tamsala Mitena Magic.

The boys also hold a special place in my Tamsala breeding.

Once again, an imported dog has earned his position in this article.

My first American import set the standard.

Amer/Aust Ch Touch-O-Class of Woz (Imp USA) “Caddi” (Amer Ch Khanis Tuff Stuff X Amer Ch Jolain Flower Child of Woz) The dog with the look of my favourite basenji - Eng Ch Lograk Lubilash of Littlebreach. The crested neck, the stance, the deep chest (and sternum bone) the showmanship and style. Caddi is the dog appearing most often in the background of my current basenjis. To my knowledge he was the sire of 10 Champions in America, England and Australia.

RUBIS Ch Tamsala Himself(AI) “Thomas”) (Amer Ch Jamila’s Jamadari X Tamsala Rhapsody NBlue) A dog with substance and bone, but ultra sound with excellent balanced angulation, a long neck topped with a gorgeous head showing the blackest eyeliner and lip pigmentation (fast disappearing from the breed). Thomas’ head and expression still comes through, many generations away from him. He was the sire of 9 Champions, the most influential today being No. 3 on this list of boys.

RUBIS Ch Tamsala Skulduggery “Duggie”) - (RUBIS Ch Tamsala Himself(AI) X Ch Tamsala In The Red) A tricolour mix of 2 strong stud dogs (Thomas and BIS Ch Tamsala Silkn Soksi), Duggie is a tightly linebred representative of Tamsala. Duggie has proven very strong in

passing on his soundness, his movement, and his angulation. Sire of 12 Champions to date including amongst them Grand Ch Tamsala Forbidden Fruit, BISS Ch Tamsala Lil Green Apples, BIS Grand Ch Tamsala Hot Time Tonite, Multi BIS/RUBIS Grand Ch Tamsala Hot Diggity Dawg, Grand Ch Taqsim Smoke and Mirrors, BISS Amer Ch Tamsala Hot Onya Heels, and Dutch Ch Tambuzi Jetset Jensen.

How many Champions have you bred? Best in Show winners?

Specialty Winners? Tell us something about your big winners and what you liked and didn’t like.

To date, I have bred 73 Champions, which includes several in Denmark, Finland, Indonesia, New Zealand, Norway, South Africa, Sweden, and USA. There have been 13 Tamsala bred Best in Show Basenjis in Australia, Norway and South Africa - and five Runner Up Best in Show winners. Nine Tamsala bred Specialty winners have been given the nod in Australia, England and USA, and 5 Runner Up Specialty winners in Australia. There have also been six Australian Grand Champion Tamsala Basenjis.

I am even prouder to say that one of my basenjis, BIF Dual Ch Tamsala Rocket Socks MC, LCX, achieved things in the breed that I could only dream about in Australia.

My biggest winner in the show ring would have to be Multi BIS/Multis RUBIS Australian Grand Ch Tamsala Hot Diggity Dawg. He was part of the very successful pairing of RUBIS Aust Ch Tamsala Skulduggery X Amer/Aust Ch Sukari-Jasiri Mary Puppins (Imp USA). In Ferret’s illustrious career he achieved the supreme award of BIS (All Breeds) 6 times and Runner Up Best in Show 9 times. He never showed the same success in the Specialty ring. He was also the Best Basenji in Australia (DOL Pointscore) 2 years running in 2007 and 2008..

I loved Ferret’s movement from the time he just coasted around my exercise yard as a young puppy with this easy flowing gait. He was a very laid back basenji who loved every person and every dog.

My only regret with Ferret is that to date I have no offspring sired by him. Besides the fact that he is too closely related to the girls I currently have, he did not consider sex a part of his lifestyle. BUT, I have his frozen semen for THAT day when the right girl comes along.

In the meantime he lives the life of Riley with a basenji girl on 2 acres by the sea, with regular trips out on the Lakes on a fishing boat!!

The bitch that I considered to be one of my best basenjis was Ch Tamsala Calico Patches (Cricket). Born in 1988 from BISS Ch Tamsala Blue Sancerre and Tamsala Rhapsody Nblue - Cricket showed the basenji fraternity how a basenji could move. She was a multiple B.I.G winner who won consistently on her movement. With a beautiful perfect tricolour coat she made a stunning picture as she floated around the Allbreeds ring. Cricket outmoved her kennel mate BIS Ch Tamsala California Gold (Shannon) to win BIS at our Basenji Club of Victoria 25th Specialty under respected basenji breeder Jeraldeen Crandall.

My only regret with Cricket was that she never had the opportunity to pass on her qualities - having only one litter before developing a tumour on her spine.. She was gone at 5 years of age - a real loss to my bloodline.

Can you tell us a little about the Australian system and how you title your dogs and then a little about the ranking system.

Dogs and bitches are judged separately, with a maximum of seven different age classes with available placings of first, second or third, except at larger specialty shows where numbers of entries may go up to fourth and fifth, depending on the total entry. Some shows also conduct ‘sweepstakes’ competitions for two age groups – Babies (three to six months) and Puppies (six to 12 months).

All dogs and bitches of every breed in the show are eligible to enter and compete against each other at the same time, usually as the first competition of the day. Champions compete in the same classes against non-Champions.

1. Challenge points Challenge points are only awarded at Championship Shows and are given to the Best Dog (called Challenge Dog) and Best Bitch (Challenge Bitch) for each breed.

One hundred Challenge points are required before a dog can be awarded the title of Australian Champion. Challenge points are determined on the following basis - 5 points for winning the challenge and one (1) additional point for every dog/bitch beaten.

Thus if your exhibit is the only exhibit of the breed and the judge awards best of breed your exhibit will achieve 6 challenge points.

Best of Breed points are calculated in the same manner, 5 points for the BOB win and 1 point for every dog & bitch exhibited up to a maximum of 25 challenge points.

This title is retained for life and the initials Ch. become part of the dog’s registered name.

Grand Champion - to attain the title of Grand Champion in Australia the exhibit must accrue 1000 challenge points, and also have won one (1) Best Exhibit In Show (All Breeds) OR four (4) Best Exhibit In Group wins; OR four (4) 25 point Best Of Breed wins. This title is retained for life and the initials Gr. Ch. become part of the dog’s registered name.

2. Best in Breed For each breed, dog classes are judged before bitch classes.

The winners of each class, excluding Baby Puppy, compete for the Challenge if it is a Championship Show, or Best Dog of Breed if it is not. The dog selected as Challenge will then leave the ring and the dog that came second in the same class as the Challenge winner returns to the ring to compete for Reserve Challenge. Then the bitches are judged similarly.

When the judging for Challenge and Reserve Challenge Bitch is completed the Challenge Dog re-enters the ring to compete with the Challenge Bitch for Best of Breed.

Whoever wins this leaves the ring and is replaced by the Reserve Challenge of the same sex as the Best of Breed who then competes with the opposite sex Challenge winner for Reserve or Runner-up Best of Breed. The Best and Reserve Best of Breed automatically win their respective Class in Breed.

The winners of each class then compete with the opposite sex winner of the same class for Class in Breed and the winners for each class then progress to compete for Class in Group.

3. Best in Group When all the breeds in the group have been judged, then all Best of Breeds enter in alphabetical order to compete for the Best in Group. The Runner-up Best of Breed then comes in to compete against all other Best of Breed winners for the Runner-up Best in Group.

Best in Group and Runner-up Best in Group winners are automatically the Best exhibit in whatever classes they were entered into. All other classes are then judged by having all winners for each particular age group compete for that Class in Group.

4. General Specials (Best in Show) When all groups have been judged, the seven Best in Group

THE MODERN BASENJI - Page - 24

winners enter the General Specials ring for Best in Show and the judging sequence of Best in Group is repeated.

The Runner-up Best in Group to the Best in Group-winning dog or bitch that wins Best in Show comes in for Runner-up Best in Show. These two dog/bitches are automatically Best in Class in Show, and all other Class in Shows are judged in the same manner as the Class in Groups.

Ranking System

There is no formal ranking system in Australia. Breed clubs will often conduct a pointscore throughout the year (each breed club will determine the scoring method of their pointscore), thus there is no consistency in point scores across Australia.

Dogzonline is an independent Australia wide competition where an exhibitor may wish to record their wins in line with the pointscore rules. The Dogzonline pointscore is split into five individual competitions.

• Show Dog of the Year (All Breeds) • Best of Breed Competition • Rising Star of the Year • ADVANCE® Breeder of the Year (Prizes Sponsored by Advance) • Dog News Australia Junior Handlers Competition (Prizes Sponsored by Dog News Australia)

The competition is held in Australia between 1st January, 2011 and 31st December, 2011. Only results from Championship Shows held in Australia between the above dates are eligible.

As this Dogzonline is a voluntary competition, it realistically is not representative as an Australian wide ranking tool. Nevertheless it is a popular competition and within its limitations is a representative ranking system for Australian exhibits.

What do you think breeders have improved on during your years in the breed?

I feel that there has been considerable improvement in the temperament of the basenjis in Australia - many of the early ones were very sharp and difficult to live with.

Basenjis have more refinement and elegance - but many are losing the soundness of the earlier dogs.

good; and because of the incorrect angulation the basenji ‘pattable’ bottom (shelf) is also being lost. Eyes are losing that dark eyeliner, and lips the black pigment; the chiselling is disappearing from under the eyes and the ‘furrow’ between the eyes and up into the wrinkle is rarely seen.

How would you correct the problems in the breed?

Breed to what is correct - not to what is flashy and wins in the show ring. There is not enough attention being paid to what a basenji should look like - there is more to a basenji than a flashy wide open side gait!! They also move away and come towards you!! Check the bloodline of what you want to use - do the ancestors have the conformation you are looking for - or is that dog just a flash in the pan??

What breed traits do you feel are the most important and why?

The basenji hallmarks are it’s wrinkled forehead, and hooded ears; its curly well set on tail with a definite shelf - and the distinctive easy flowing gait that could go all day - with a topline you could balance a cup of tea on (and it wouldn’t spill!!).

Many basenjis are becoming what I call ‘generic show dogs’ - long neck, short back, long legs - and a flashy side gait - change the head and the tail and you could have a Boxer - the coat and it could be a Springer Spaniel.

Our breed is distinctive for it’s difference from the other breeds - it should still be able to do what it was bred for. It is not a show dog per se - it is an African hunting dog.

What one or two dog(s) do you feel has been the most influential to our breed and why?

I watched an old film in 1979 of Amer Ch Reveille Re-Up moving - and realized then what basenji movement was all about - easy and flowing as if the dog was out on a Sunday stroll effortless. The dog that has always been my ideal picture of a basenji is Eng Ch Lograk Lubilash of Littlebreach - I never saw him in the flesh - but to me he fitted my idea of the standard.

Now all I have to do is breed one - with Re-Up’s movement!!

What breeding or breedings of yours are you looking forward to in the coming year /years?

What do you think needs improvement in the breed?

It is the same in Australia as it is all over the world. We are losing the balanced angulation front and rear - many basenjis have VERY long second thighs, but a short straight upper arm which gives a completely wrong style of movement with over reaching, crabbing, and an incorrect ‘flick’ up at the rear. There is also a predominance of poor toplines - steep shoulders causing a rise over the rump - most unattractive in a basenji when on the move. Because of all of this the chests are often shallow, lacking in sternum bone, or the deepest part is behind the front legs giving a hollowed out front. Feet are not as

I look forward to all of my breeding - there are things I need to improve on without losing the angulation and movement that my basenjis already have. I am very pleased with the boy I bred last year (Tamsala Jiminy Cricket) from my new Swedish import Ch Yulara Mutua and Tamsala Skylarking. Sky is a very close line breeding on my strongest basenjis and this combination has proven very sound and typey. I feel that Jimmy will achieve so much of what I want when he is blended into my line in future years.

The “B” LEGAL Blog W

elcome to the first edition of my new quarterly column for The Modern Basenji-Worldwide! I hope you’ll enjoy the blog format. It seemed to be the best fit for a thoroughly modern publication with both digital and print formats. Since The Modern Basenji is a truly worldwide publication, this blog will focus on topics that are generally informative and useful to basenji-lovers everywhere. We’re going to spotlight on how to think about legal issues and topics that impact breeders and owners – how to analyze options, locate resources, and create useful documents to serve as “guidelines” for our relationships with one another…. In that spirit, today’s blog topic is:

Co-owner and Co-breeding Agreements: Drafting Made Painless (well, almost)….

I have probably heard every excuse in the book for not preparing co-ownership or co-breeding contracts – everything from “I didn’t know where to start” to “I don’t think anything I draft will hold up in court,” to “I started to draft one, but then …my basenji chewed through my PC’s power cord; I remembered I hadn’t done the laundry in two weeks; I noticed my basenjis’ nails needed trimming; I saw a bunny outside my window.” But fear not! You (yes, you!) can prepare an agreement – a quality road-map for your ongoing coownership or co-breeding relationships – without having to lock yourself in a windowless room, spend hours looking up “legalese” on the Internet, or writing those run-on sentences. We’re going to use a nifty technique called “columns and categories” to produce a working draft of a SIMPLE contract that does what it needs to do, without any extra padding or excess baggage.

First, let’s address the elephant in the room – legal enforceability. That’s not why you are drafting a contract. If, while you are drafting, you’re thinking strictly about how your agreement will hold up in court, my polite suggestion would be to re-think whether you want to enter into the arrangement at all. Of course, the agreement should be enforceable – but the most important job of these agreements is to serve as a reminder of what you and your co-owner or co-breeder agreed to at the outset. Contracts are roadmaps that lay out the expectations and responsibilities of a relationship, whether it is long-term or short-term. If you are worried, at the very beginning, that the other person will not honor the agreement, stop reading right here, and go back to watching that bunny outside your window.

“Columns and categories” is a model of contract building that borrows from the concept of Chinese menus. Maybe this is because law students are often broke, and tend to eat a lot of Chinese takeout? Anyway, the old “one from column A, two from column B” approach is what we’re after. First, make your basic columns by listing all parties to the agreement (let’s use a co-breeding agreement as an example).”

Next, make a list of categories as shown

By Karla Schreiber

in Chart A. Start broadly – you can always go back and add more subcategories later. The broadest topic categories in most cobreeding agreements are usually the “costs” (as in, who writes the checks for what), “care and maintenance” duties (who will look after the physical well-being of the dog(s), and resulting pups), and “take-aways” (who gets what). Your chart will look like this: CHART A Co-Breeder A 1. A will pay for: 2. A’s care & maintenance 3. A’s take-aways

Co-Breeder B 1. B will pay for: 2. B’s care & maintenance 3. B’s take-aways

Co-Breeder A & B 1. A & B will share the costs of: 2. A & B’s care & maintenance 3. A & B’s shared take-aways

Great! We’re on a roll! Now you’ll want to come up with the subcategories that will fit under your main categories. Your chart will begin to look something like Chart B below. For the first subcategory, “who will pay,” consider items like veterinary care, food, and travel/shipping costs. In the “care and maintenance” section, think about the terms you want to set regarding the physical care of the bitch and her pups. In the “take-aways” subcategory, list what each person will receive by virtue of signing the agreement.

CHART B

1. a. b. c.

Co-Breeder A’s Responsibilities

Co-Breeder B’s Responsibilities

A will pay for: Stud fee Routine vet care Puppy vaccinations

1. B will pay for: a. Food for dam and pups b. Dew claw removal (C-section, spay) (50/50) c. A.I. cost if necessary

2. A’s care & maintenance

2. B’s care & maintenance

a. Ship bitch to B by 5th day of bitch’s cycle

a. Feed Fromm Gold to dam and pups b. Remove pups’ dew claws c. Vaccinate pups using XYZ schedule d. Return bitch and A’s pick puppy to A on or before X date.

3. A’s Take Aways

3. B’s Take Aways

a. Second pick puppy b. 30% of proceeds of sale of balance of litter c. A’s kennel name first on all pups

a. First pick puppy b. 70% of proceeds of sale of balance of litter c. B’s kennel name second on all puppies

Shared Responsibilities 1. a. b. c.

A & B will share costs of: Travel costs (50/50) None-routine vet services Emergency boarding fees (A-30 / B-70) 2. A & B’s care & maintenance

None

3. A & B Shared Take Aways a. AKC co-breeders of litter

You can continue adding categories and subcategories – I still find this easier to do with a pen and paper. Then, once I have an exhaustive list of categories and subcategories, I use Excel to “build” my contract-chart. I typically take the “next step” and turn the chart into a document (with paragraphs, subheadings and all that jazz). But that’s not necessary. The chart, standing alone (well, with just a little tweaking), can be the “guts” of your agreement.

There are a few other necessary bits required to turn a columns

THE MODERN BASENJI - Page - 28

The “B” Legal Blog (Continued)

and categories chart into a real contract. You will need a caption or title, and simple beginning and ending paragraphs. Your chart will be the “frosty cream” in the middle (yes, it is lunchtime here – LOL!). What goes at the beginning?

• The name of the agreement: “Co-breeding Agreement” in the case of our example; • A sentence identifying the people who will sign the agreement, and be subject to its terms: “This co-breeding agreement is between Breeder A (address) and Breeder B, who signed it on X date.”

• A sentence identifying the dogs involved: “Breeder A will ship her Basenji bitch, Ch. Almost Perfectly Perfect (registration number X) to Breeder B, to be bred to Breeder B’s stud dog Ch. Really Quite Exceptional.

• A sentence stating what the columns and categories in your chart relate to: “The purpose of this Agreement is for Breeder A and Breeder B to co-breed a litter out of Ch. Almost Perfectly Perfect and Ch. Really Quite Exceptional. Breeder B will whelp the litter, and the litter will be co-bred by Breeder A and Breeder B pursuant to the terms of the chart that appears below. <cut and paste chart here!>

What goes at the end?

•

•

A sentence stating which laws will govern the agreement if there is a problem: usually the laws of the country and/or state where Breeder A or Breeder B lives. “This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Nevada.”

Signature and date lines for Breeder A and Breeder B.

Voila! You’ve done it! Using the columns and categories approach, you’ve built a contract that can go off for review by the other folks involved in your planned co-ownership or co-breeding adventure! Using the chart format is helpful when negotiating changes, too. Not only can everyone involved in the agreement see what their responsibilities and benefits are, at a glance, but everyone involved can begin to THINK in a similar way about the contract (categories of obligations and benefits, neatly tucked away in the appropriate spot under each person’s name). It is easy to see how useful this approach can be for very complicated agreements with multiple parties, multiple goals, and lots of responsibilities and benefits to be parsed out, but the approach is just as helpful for two-party agreements with fairly straight-forward terms.

Just remember that every co-ownership or co-breeding agreement needs to answer basic questions: What costs will each person be responsible for; What costs will be shared; What is each person required to do under the agreement (and when); What will each person receive in return? By thinking about these questions using the columns and categories approach, I hope you’ll feel confident enough to build a solid roadmap for your future cobreeding and co-ownership relationships. If you can make a grocery list, or order Chinese take-out, I predict success!

See you in the next issue (and that’s a threat!).

Dog Shows, Part II

By Thomas Meade II

AKC MODIFICATIONS AND ADDITIONS: Moving Forward in the Sport of Purebred Dogs he American Kennel Club (AKC) has made changes in conformation and companion events. Most notably is the Grand Champion (GCH) classification, recently modified to include four designation levels. Also new is the Group Five Placement (blue and yellow rosette) and Group Six Placement (red and yellow Rosette) at All-Breed and Specialty Shows. The Reserve-Best-In-Show (yellow and white rosette) is currently a regular agenda item (with ‘draft language’ in documents) very close to a final vote, and an additional class called Master Class in Junior Showmanship. Also, the opportunity for Juniors to compete in companion events (agility and obedience) at national invitationals begins this year.

T

What is Grand Champion?

“The Grand Champion title was developed and approved by the Delegate Body at the December 2009 meeting. This new title is an effort to provide our exhibitors with an additional venue to participate in with dogs that have obtained their Championships while assisting AKC Clubs with increasing their entries. It will continue exhibitor participation and camaraderie in our sport while emphasizing breed judging by recognizing quality and breed type. The development of a “Grand Champion” concept is consistent with the ongoing objective to encourage the exhibition and, ultimately, the breeding and registration of purebred dogs.” (http://www.akc.org/events/conformation/what_is_gch.cfm)

In April 2011, The American Kennel Club announced a new enhancement to the Grand Champion program --- Achievement Levels. Beginning May 11th, when the new point schedule begins GCH’s will have the ability to earn Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum designations in the sport at all-breed, group and specialty shows.

ENHANCED AKC GRAND CHAMPION PROGRAM • Bronze Grand Championship will require 100 points • Silver Grand Championship will require 200 points • Gold Grand Championship will require 400 points • Platinum Grand Championship will require 800 points

The owners will receive special recognition through medallions and certificates, along with their names and breeds listed on an AKC website. The online GCH Breed Lists will be expanded from the Top 25 to Top 100 dogs including Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum level designations. To keep up-to-date with the competition, a new Top 100 All-Breed Grand Champions list will be available at www.akc.org/grandchampionship/ .

“We are happy to highlight the highest achievers in the Conformation ring with the creation of the Grand Championship Achievement Levels,” said Robin Stansell, AKC Vice President of Event Operations. “Many exhibitors brought their Champions back into the rings to complete the Grand Championship or continued showing when they normally would have stopped after obtaining a Championship title. The Achievement Levels give them an opportunity for continued recognition and achievement.” (www.akc.org/ grandchampionship/)

Grand Championship judging will remain the same: all Champions of Record entered in the Best of Breed/Variety competition will be eligible to compete for Grand Championship points at no additional entry fee, and points will be awarded, at the judge’s discretion, to Best of Breed/Variety, Best of Opposite Sex, Select Dog and Select Bitch. Points are calculated using the same AKC Point Schedule as is used for Championship points. Once a dog completes the Grand Championship title, points will continue to accrue as it reaches the Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum levels; there is no reset.

If a dog has already accrued 100 or more Grand Championship points since the THE MODERN BASENJI - Page - 30

beginning of the Grand Championship program, the Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum designation will be awarded retroactively. For more information about the new AKC Grand Champion Achievement Levels, visit www.akc.org/ grandchampionship or contact eventplans@ akc.org. It is also to be noted entries in the Best of Breed class since the induction of the GCH May 12, 2010 was up 30,000 for 2010, over 2009.

Reserve-Best-in-Show and 5th and 6th Group Placements

On the AKC Board of Directors agenda are the amendments to create a fifth and sixth place in groups if a specific number of different breeds are represented in a show, and a Reserve-Best-In-Show rosette. A final discussion of these additional placements will take place at the June AKC Board of Directors meeting, with a final vote in September of 2011. There is also on-going discussion and clarification of the new Four to Six-Month Puppy Class piloted this year.

The AKC has received very positive feedback on this program from judges and dog show fanciers. Of special note is a majority of the entries in this special ‘optional class’ are ‘first time’ dog show participants.

Master Class in Junior Showmanship

In February of 2011, a new Junior Showmanship class was approved and will be implemented beginning November 1, 2011. The new class regulation reads as follows: Section 5, New Section (C) ( C ) Master. This class will be for boys

AKC Modifications and Additions (Continued)

and girls who are at least 9 years old and under 18 years on the day of the show, and who have won the 10 first place wins in an Open Class Competition. The calendar for this class will be November 1 - October 31 of the following year. All Juniors meeting the criteria for this class are required to enter the Master Class and may change their entry without charge the day of the show if entries have already closed.

Once the eligibility time frame for that year has passed all participants return to the Open Class to compete for the following year. (http://www.akc.org/ pdfs/about/board_minutes/0211.pdf)

This new class is meant to increase the level of competition in Junior Showmanship.

Though there has been no official word from the Westminster Kennel Club (NY) or the National Dog Show (FL), rumor has it only Best Junior Handler wins will become the deciding factor in eligibility for either of these two invitational shows. For example, to qualify for Eukanuba National Dog Show, a Junior currently needs FIVE wins in an open class with competition, and TEN wins in an open class with competition for the Westminster Kennel Club.

The change in Junior Showmanship with the addition of the Master Class will also change how Juniors currently are ranked by breed, group and top Juniors in the country beginning November 2011. It will no longer be possible to receive over ten wins in an Open Class, and then continue to work towards dogs defeated points as done in the breed rings --- and maybe pick up a few Best Junior Handlers too. If a Junior is exceptionally proficient, and wins quickly, he/she will be required to move into the Master Class for the remainder of the year. It has been discussed that many Juniors aware of the changes are not planning on going for first place wins initially --- and will hold off -- content with a second, third or fourth placement --to earn ‘dogs defeated points’ until they need to push for the wins late summer at the large cluster summer shows into early fall. This is especially true in the Open Intermediate and Open Senior Classes that are often large in entries.

Juniors are not totally in disagreement with the changes, but its unfortunate few if any were asked for feedback on such a large change in their sport. Of course, the bottom line is The American Kennel Club, since it is their Junior Handling Program, but a brief survey would have been helpful for those directly involved in the decision-making on THE MODERN BASENJI - Page - 31

the Board of Directors. I would have suggested the Master Class as ‘optional’ after ten wins in an Open Class. What might have made the new class enticing to juniors and their families would be to offer the ‘Master Class’ free-of-charge, and as the ONLY road to qualifying for Westminster Kennel Club and/or The National Dog Show (Eukanuba). If the goal of the Master class is to offer an opportunity to earn Best Junior Handler wins towards invitationals -- and provide a very competitive opportunity for juniors ages 9 - 18 -- make it truly an invitation to participate in the Master Class too.

Junior Showmanship in National Companion Events

There will also be a Junior Showmanship companion event competition held with the 2011 Agility and Obedience Invitationals. The American Kennel Club plans to recognize participation of Junior Showman in AKC Companion Events, and to provide a venue for experienced exhibitors (in companion events) to mentor the younger competitors at a national level.

The first year will be open to any junior with a junior handler number, with following years by invitation only. 

What Is Diversity, Really?

A

by Mary Lou Kenworthy

few years ago I had the unique opportunity to participate in a Cyberdog experiment set up by John Armstrong, a genetics professor with the Department of Biology at the University of Ottawa. John was a breeder of Standard Poodles and used some of the early imports as models for his Cyberdogs project. Unfortunately John passed away of a heart attack before he was able to publish the results of our experiment.

Given the recent inclusions of native stock and discussions that have followed, I felt it would be interesting to share the outcome of this experience.

The Cyberdog program consisted of importing a theoretical breed new to the country where we lived. It started with a limited foundation stock of Cyberdogs.

Professor Armstrong decided to run a simulated breeding program with eight breeders participating and founding a hypothetical breed. To begin the program, each breeder was assigned a dog and a bitch that were litter mates. Two inherited defects existed in some of the foundation dogs – one an early onset defect and the other a late onset. Since these dogs were imported, little was known of their backgrounds. However, a few of the dogs were known to be related.

Some dogs carried one genetic problem and some of the others carried the other defect, but none of these foundation dogs carried both. Some didn’t carry either defect. This was all the information we were given to start this program. No one knew which dogs carried what genetic disorder or which ones were healthy. From this point everyone was to breed hypothetical litters.

As the breeding program progressed we were given additional information and most breeders shared any information that they learned about their own dogs.

Since this was basically a Diversity List, six of the breeders immediately went after diversity by breeding to males as distant from their bitches as they could get.

One other breeder and I believed in linebreeding and, perhaps occasionally, some inbreeding. This other breeder’s dogs had known relatives in the program so she decided to breed to them. Not wanting to cause a furor on the List, my first litter was an “accidental” breeding of brother to sister - when it turned out I had a fence climber.

Additionally, this other breeder’s dogs had the early onset problem. Since she had line-bred she quickly discovered this and was able to determine where it came from so

she could avoid those dogs in future breedings. In a few generations she had clear stock.

My dogs carried the late onset problem and fortunately it showed up in my first litter so I knew it was there before I had gone too far down the wrong road. With late onset problems breeders can get into trouble quickly before they realize it. Both problems proved to be recessive in inheritance.

I then bred my dogs that did not develop the problem with dogs from the other breeder’s line. As her dogs were now free of any defects our only concern was carriers of my dogs’ late onset problem. With further line-breeding this, too, could be eliminated.

The study was based on 10 generations and in that time the other breeder and I knew exactly what we had and where our one problem might be hiding.

Given another few generations we could have eliminated it entirely. Seeing the results other people got from using our dogs helped add to our knowledge as this information was shared. The health problems were randomly computer generated within their possibilities.

The other six breeders thought they could control problems with out-crossing their stock. Some of them started with the early onset problem; some had the late onset problem and at least one of them had clear dogs with no problems. Each of these six breeders bred to six or seven other people’s dogs. Everyone kept records that were shared with the group. After three or four generations, these six people started seeing the problems. After a few more generations they could no longer outcross because everyone else had done the same thing and had bred to all the dogs so there was nothing ‘different’ to go to.

All their pedigrees were the same hodgepodge of the many foundation dogs and now they all carried both problems.

Since none of these breeders had line-bred, they never discovered which of the foundation dogs were the healthy ones.

These were the dogs that should have been used for back-crosses and line-breeding.

Now it was too late. The six people with the out-crossed dogs now had affected and/or carriers of two genetic problems, and they had no idea which dogs carried what recessive defect. Instead of having some clear dogs and some with one problem, all of their dogs now carried two problems THE MODERN BASENJI - Page - 36

recessively. Now that the six people had already incorporated everything into their breeding programs there was no diversity left.

The two breeders who line-bred their stock had healthy dogs with only a few carrying one problem, and they knew where to expect that defect to show up. So they were ahead of the game.

Population genetics preaches diversity and that diversity is mistakenly equated to anti-line-breeding. And yes, diversity is necessary in the whole population. However, short of God, who controls whole populations??

The main problem I noticed is that most people try to apply population genetics to individual breeding programs and cannot separate the two in their minds.

The only way to keep diversity within a breed is by line-breeding. Let me say that again so you know I didn’t make a mistake.

“THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP DIVERSITY WITHIN A BREED IS BY LINEBREEDING.”

One breeder must line-breed on a certain few dogs long enough to establish a separate line (different from all the rest).

Another breeder must line-breed on a few different dogs and establish another line. A third breeder should line-breed on yet some other dogs to establish yet another line. A fourth breeder – etc., etc., etc. NOW we have diversity! Even if all are descended from the same limited number of original ancestors, by having different lines, we maintained diversity.

When you line-breed and run into a problem you can always out-cross. If you are already out-crossing and run into a problem -- and you will -- where do you go then?

My grandmother always used to say, “Sweep your own doorstep first.” If breeders create and monitor their own lines, the breed, as a whole, will prosper. No breeder can maintain diversity by himself, and any attempt to do so will lead to disaster for the breeder and the breed. It takes a network of breeders working together with individual lines to maintain diversity.

Line-breeding and in-breeding get a bad reputation because popular studs are overused. The big winners owned by the politically correct individuals are bred to most of the bitches. Soon these sires are in everyone’s pedigrees multiple times. Their problems are spread throughout the breed and the use of animals that are not big winners or properly owned is lost along with what diversity they could have offered.

MENTORING

EDITOR’S NOTE:

Everyone has to start somewhere when they begin their journey into the “dog world.” Sometimes that first tentative step begins at that first dog show or is prompted by an invitation to attend a doggy social function. Either opportunity can have a positive or a negative outcome depending on how well that “newbie” is received.

Some are very fortunate to have a thoughtful mentor; some aren’t so lucky. It is easy to bask in all those good experiences you may have enjoyed in the beginning. However, it’s difficult to admit that a positive reception might not be waiting for everyone coming into the sport. When I read this article, it took me back some 20+ years ago. I discovered it wasn’t hard to put myself in this person’s position, as may some of you also be able to recount shades of this experience. As you read this, consider what we can do to keep our sport alive and growing; consider what we can do to welcome everyone because without growth, we all suffer.

By Chris Maxka

“When we first entered the “basenji world,” we were made to feel completely out of place. No one was willing to help us. We were two younger people, totally in love with the basenji breed, but “wet behind the ears” and looking for guidance. But when we would ask people questions about how the shows work or if anyone would be willing to give us a helping hand, we got a cold shoulder. Some acted very competitive while others acted like we were somehow below them and their standards. No one offered help or advice. It didn’t take long to wonder why we would want to be part of a community like this. We walked away, went to no more shows, and, without any help, began to breed our dogs. They were from good lines, with champion parents. We thought we were doing things right.

Obviously we weren’t.

We did not have contact with our dogs’ breeders, as they had been purchased by our mother, who became ill, and did not pass along any information, including the fact that our dogs had come with breeding and show contracts. Perhaps we did not reach out to our dogs’ breeders because of our bad experience with the local breeders. I do not want to place blame on anyone but ourselves, but I do believe that if the people in the basenji community had taken even just a minute to explain to us that we were going about things wrong, we would have tried to make changes sooner so that we could do things right.”

There she was. Unmistakable. The little girl I had sold three years earlier and had never heard from again. I had written, I had called, I had left pleading and frantic messages, but never heard a word. And here she was, a photo on a website for a kennel I’d never heard of. I’d know that little face anywhere. But what had happened? This was not the name of the person I had sold her to.

Carefully, gingerly, I sent out a probe: “Is this little girl a SunDiata dog?”

I received a polite, but careful response, “Yes, she is from SunDiata,” followed by a smiley face.

I wrote back, “May I ask how you came to have her? I am her breeder.”

What followed was both heartwarming and heartbreaking. These were two young people who were enamored with the breed, and my little girl. The dog had been sold to their mother, who had purchased her and a male, both on show and breeding contracts, and then another female. None of us breeders knew she was getting other dogs.

The woman became very ill, and gave the dogs to her son and daughter-in-law, but did not put them in touch with the breeders of these animals. This explained, partially, why I’d never heard back from my inquiries. The post was filled with love for the dog: “Absolute queen of our house,” “She knows she’s special and she shows it!” “Every day when our son comes home from school she waits by the door wagging her tail, and when he walks in the door she always lets out a big yodel as if to say ‘Hello’ to him.

It’s so cute!” They suggested we get together, and that they “would love to learn more about her background.” They had already looked over my website, and asked to learn more about my experiences, and repeatedly asked for suggestions and help in making informed choices.

Unfortunately, they had already bred not only my little girl, but the other female as well.

I gave the situation careful thought before responding. One impulse was to get angry, to excoriate their impetuosity. But the young people seemed unusually excited to be talking with me, and soon the story of their attempt to enter the “basenji world” spilled out. They obviously loved the basenjis, but were proceeding without any guidance. I took a deep breath, and asked them if they would like to try again, to do THE MODERN BASENJI - Page - 38

things “right,” to hit the reset button.

They were thrilled. “This is a dream of ours to become more involved in the basenji world and you are offering us a great opportunity.” They asked their mother, who found the original contract that had come with the dog, and felt quite badly they had bred her not in accordance with the contract.

“Please understand, if we had known, we would never have bred her without your blessing.” They wanted to honor the original contract.

I started at the beginning by explaining the three types of breeders: Puppy mills, backyard breeders, and reputable breeders.

Puppy mills are places with pens or cages of dogs in a barn that churn out as many puppies as possible for profit, not bothering to check if these puppies are sold to good homes. Backyard breeders are people who have two pets and just have puppies without much knowledge of the breed. Reputable breeders are not in it for the profit, but for the love and welfare of the breed. They strive to preserve and improve the breed and to decrease the incidence of genetic health and temperament problems.

“This is the category you want to be in,” I told them.

I went on. There are two general activities that identify a reputable breeder: testing for genetic diseases and participating in conformation or performance events. I personally am not that fond of showing, but understand the importance of finishing championships on most of my breeding stock in order to measure their quality against the breed standard. However, in order for my new mentees to get some momentum in the show ring, they needed support. I offered that support, but because I live a considerable distance from them, I enlisted the help of a friend who lived near them. I forwarded the entire e-mail trail to my friend, who immediately wrote them and welcomed them to the basenji world.

I explained to my new mentees the tests that I do on my dogs, and asked that they test theirs. The puppy bitch I sold had been tested by a certified canine ophthalmologist when she was a puppy, but her hips and thyroid had still to be done.

This bitch was from two and three generations of tested Probably Clear Fanconi dogs. Still, I recommended she be tested before being bred again. I sent them a photo of their little girl when I still had her, stacked for show at five months. I explained that both her parents were champions, and that her sire is on the Stud Dog Honor Roll. I asked if they would give the show ring another try, explaining that while some

exhibitors may be unfriendly, worried that newcomers will become competition, others of us take the longer range view that people such as themselves can grow into an asset to the breed. I suggested we all go to some shows together, betting we would have fun.

In their next email, they announced they had decided not to breed again until they had done the health testing. And they would like to try showing again, despite their experiences with the basenji people the first time.

“After you found us and began steering us in the right direction, we tried to be more involved into the basenji community once again. I think we both remember how that opened up a whole new can of worms on the basenji forums. We felt jumped on, chewed up, and spit out by some of the people on there because we had not had our testing done. It was discouraging that still, no one wanted to offer any advice other than to tell us how we had not done health testing. We were scolded as if we were children and again made to feel below their standards.”

At the same time I was carefully establishing a mentoring process with these young people, they were reaching out again, to the basenji community, this time, on line.

They joined a forum and discovered that they themselves were the hot topic de jour.

They read the comments criticizing the information they had put on their newly established website. At first, they thought the criticism was about their website, and tried to assure everyone that they were still working on it, adding that they would be happy to answer any questions, that their goal was to learn and to become respected breeders. While some people posting offered constructive feedback on how their website could be improved with links to health testing and providing the registered names of their dogs, others were unrelentingly critical, saying the website was of no concern, that puppy mills have websites. “Too bad you didn’t learn a lot before diving into breeding.”

I cringed, and hoped the young people would not give up. And indeed, this is what came close to happening.

“Honestly if we had not already started working with you we would have most likely walked away again and continued to breed our dogs in the wrong manner.”

Instead, they wrote back, rather bravely:

“I realize to you and some others we may look like back yard breeders. I suppose I can understand why! Our goal, though, is to be responsible breeders. I admit that maybe we did jump the gun and should have learned more before breeding our dogs. But

now we realize this and are trying to take steps to correct this, such as joining here on the forums in an attempt to make new friends and to learn as much about our beloved breed as we can. Though we might not have started in the correct manner we are looking to change that. We came here in hopes of meeting people who are knowledgeable and are willing to share that knowledge with us so that we can make responsible breeding choices. However, I am starting to get the impression that some members of this community have no desire to help newcomers and would rather push them away then take the time to give some guidance.”

But the attacks kept coming. “Actions speak louder than words.” “Where is the health testing information?” “What are your accomplishments with your dogs?”

“What is your involvement in the basenji community?” “Obviously you already had a litter so are behind the 8- ball already…”

The young people struggled: “We do have champion bloodlines…our dogs are AKC registered…I did not make any claims that were untrue…”

Finally, “We have tried in the past to become more involved in the basenji community and then too, we were received in this same hostile manner. How can anyone expect to keep this breed strong when there are people that love this breed and are trying to become more involved but feel pushed away. I understand we may have made some mistakes. We started out as owners who loved this breed and never had intentions of breeding our dogs. So yes, I am sure there are some things we should have done differently. But, we WANT to learn.”

Still, more unfriendly attacks: She was told, “It is very easy to say that you are going to start but until you actually do so, it means very little. You have chosen to breed first and use the accomplishments of others as the selling point for your dogs which most people are not going to be very receptive to and has probably contributed to the attitude of others you have encountered in the breed.”

”If you choose to respond with hostility when someone points out how your method of presenting yourself appears to those who see it then chances are you are not going to get a warm welcome.”

But to my eye, these young people were trying mightily to approach the group. The hostility was coming at them, not from them.

I do not believe the experience these people had is unique. I recounted this story to a well-established breeder, and she replied that her early experiences had been rather similar. No one would talk to her, no one would tell her anything, or take her under THE MODERN BASENJI - Page - 39

their wing. This breeder is a researcher, and her response was to read voraciously, but not everyone can learn on their own.

Personally, I was blessed with several “auntie mentors” when I joined the basenji community, over 40 years ago. I remember long hours spent over coffee in the kitchens and dining rooms and back yards of older, experienced breeders. My phone bills were out of sight from the hours and hours spent gleaning facts and information, talking long distance in the years before cell phones. My mentors and I would travel together to shows. They would critique my performance in the ring, they would critique my dogs, their dogs, other peoples’ dogs, until my eye was trained, and I could see type, balance, and gait at a glance. They insisted I keep up to date with the latest health tests and breeding practices, and I absorbed years of knowledge and experience. We argued, we debated, but in the end, I didn’t have to repeat their mistakes, and I had a solid frame of reference from which I was eventually able to establish my own line of basenjis. I realize now that I did not appreciate my mentors enough at the time, especially when I see that today mentoring has all but died out.

Criticism is not mentoring.

Constructive criticism is a good thing, but it is not effective until trust and receptiveness are established. Civility, support, interest and encouragement are the important first steps. Harshness turns people off, and we get situations such as this-- people go off on their own and breed on their own. Instead of new fanciers, we have another back yard breeder; the breed loses.

We have so few young, enthusiastic newcomers to replenish our ranks. Who will carry on after we are gone?

On a positive note, our young people have, with our encouragement, joined the local kennel club and have attended handling classes. My little girl dog has been to two shows; in the first, I handled her, in the second, her owner handled her and was thrilled to win Reserve. More telling, she immediately emailed me that “a very nice man” complemented her dog, and her handling, and encouraged her to continue showing. We have shows scheduled together in the coming months. And lastly, the dogs are getting their health tests.

When I sent this article to my friend and fellow mentor who lives near the young couple, she agreed, and wrote, “Mentoring is a process of having willing people learn from those who have walked before them, but also it is a trust building endeavor where the newbie learns and becomes more secure in their own footing so they can step off and lead...bringing in their own newbies and so on and so on."

By Sue Joyner

The Greater Chicagoland Basenji Club is giving up our traditional middle of June Specialty date--at least for the time being. Clubs are changing dates and places making it difficult to find an affordable spot to hold an independent specialty. So, we have applied to BCOA and AKC to hold our 37th show as a designated specialty with the Chicagoland Hound Association. If we receive permission it will be on November 19, 2011. More information to follow next time.

GCBC members and dogs will be participating in a Responsible Dog Owner event along with BRAT on May 15 in Bourbonnais, IL, . We will report on the fun and success next time.

News from Canada

By Arlene bacon Hi Everyone!

It has been a long, cold, dreary winter but the weather is finally starting to look up.

People are starting to get interested in more shows and events. Basenji Club of Canada (BCOC) held its first race meet on April 9, 10 and 11 with the results posted below. We had a fantastic time with 70 basenjis entered. I included some racing pictures of some of the dogs entered. On April 22, 23 Greyhound Club of Canada (GCC) held their race meet. Those results are also posted below.

The BCOC National Specialty is coming up soon on July 30, 31 in beautiful New Brunswick. The Conformation judge is breeder judge John Forbes. To learn more about the show, visit http://www.basenjiclubofcanada.com/BCOC-Specialties.html

In Canada, summer is the time that we like to get out and

show, not just because of the weather, but also because our breeding and whelping is done and the puppies have all gone home-except the ones we have kept, of course. Many people might think Canada is a cold country, but in truth, we get days of 90-100 degrees and humidity of 100 %. So showing is a hit-and- miss thing throughout the spring, summer and fall. Having the extremes of temperatures year round is something we Canadians just learn to live with and so have our basenji’s.

Right now is something I like to call the “mud season.” This means rain, rain, and more rain. And we all know how much basenjis love the rain. It’s funny that a basenji will race right through everything in the rain if they are loose, but just try to get them to potty outside when it is raining! Hopefully in the next report I will have the New Champions of 2010 and more reports of racing and/or conformation showing. That’s all for now! Thanks for reading The Modern Basenji!

In September 2010, Bev and Aussie achieved a qualifying pass in Test 6 - which gave them another place in Australian basenji history - the title of T.D.X. (Tracking Dog Excellent) Test 7 in 2011 brought about the next challenge ( detailed below). When Aussie passes this test, he will have reached the pinnacle - T.Ch. (Tracking Champion).

April was Aussie and Bev’s first trial for 2011. It was held at the Haddon Shooting Range at Ballarat in Victoria. It was a bush track which both dog and handler preferred.

Unfortunately a week or so prior to the test, Aussie had somehow injured himself - resulting in the removal of an inch square piece of skin on his ribcage. This had nearly healed - but by that day the skin was pulling together and was tight.

Aussie started the test successfully, finding the blind start for the track.

However, the wound was right under the strap of the tracking harness, causing him a great deal of pain and discomfort.

Aussie decided that tracking was not his scene that morning and called it a day.

Walking over the track afterwards Bev said it was the hardest test she had ever done.

TRACKING CHAMPION TEST - Test 7 – Unknown person

The dog is required to track an unknown person and find lost articles over a trail of approximately 1,200 metres. The Track will have a minimum of six changes of direction; two of these must be greater than 90 degrees but not more than 135 degrees. The first change of direction to be no less than 100 metres from the start.

Three articles must be placed on the Track; two articles must be indicated by the dog to obtain a pass

The start must be a minimum of 30 metres from roads, fences, rivers or other permanent barriers. There will be a small marking flag where the Tracklayer will start from to enable them to line up with the next flag on the Track. The Tracklayer will take this marker flag with them. The starting line flags will remain.

At least 30 metres before the starting line the Tracklayer will place one of their scented articles in a clean sealable bag and hand it to the Judge or his nominee, or the sealed bag with the first article may be placed in the vicinity where the Judge gives instructions to the Tracklayer.

The Judge will, when the track has aged sufficiently, take the Handler and dog to approximately 30 metres from the starting line, hand or indicate the unopened bag to the Handler and inform him that he is free to start tracking. There will be two Cross Tracks that may be laid by one or two unknown persons. Cross tracks will be laid according to the Judge’s direction.

The Cross Tracks must be laid approximately 30 minutes after the original Tracklayer has passed.

The minimum time lapse for the commencement of the Track must be 90 minutes and the maximum 180 minutes, from the time the original Tracklayer crosses the starting line. The Tracklayer or Finish Article must be found at the end of the Track for a dog to obtain a pass.
