FROM THE EDITORS By Wanda Pooley

Recently I had the pleasure of attending two other titling organizations in the US and decided to write about those experiences. “The Other Games in Town” is featured on page 16 of this issue. Typically, in the US the most popular shows are sanctioned by the American Kennel Club. The vast majority of exhibitors started at an AKC show with their first dog. In fact, I would venture to say that the American Kennel Club is a household name to most people who follow dog show competitions. It certainly has been for me. So, stepping outside that realm of precision and order to venture into other venues felt somewhat strange. Over the years people who have crossed back and forth between the American Kennel Club, the United Kennel Club, and International All-Breed Canine Association have had much to say -- some positive; some negative. The only way I could form any opinions was to simply enter my dogs and find out for myself what these “other games” were all about. It’s very reasonable to accept that an organization such as AKC has to operate like a well-oiled machine in order to coordinate its many sizeable events and to provide a uniform venue. I have always fully accepted that order and structure are important to maintain consistency throughout the dog show world. The other two organizations I attended, while they may have a similar structure, do offer a more relaxed atmosphere, and I can understand how this would appeal to many exhibitors. It fascinated me to receive a mixture of responses when I confided that “This is my first UKC (or IABCA) show because I usually exhibit in AKC shows.” Regardless of the venue, people had plenty to say about their own choice. Without exception, everyone was pleasant, helpful, and encouraging. They pointed out that the more casual nature of a UKC event , for example, encouraged better sportsmanship, and I have to say these folks may have a point. Exhibitors cheered on their competitors, helped people they didn’t know with their dogs if an entry had to go back in the ring, sought out someone who was late for their class. Even judges politely held a class if an exhibitor had a short delay because of a ring conflict. In fact, the judges I observed seemed to go out of their way to make a nervous exhibitor comfortable. Clearly, no one was in a hurry. One positive aspect, for me, anyway, of this “Relax, take it easy” attitude was that it helped me dial back my own intensity that usually accompanies me when showing dogs. At AKC shows we are always conscious of time, worrying about holding up the judge, and just trying to “get it right.” UKC and IABCA events make it easy for exhibitors to settle in a bit before their ring time and to just relax and enjoy the experience. It’s helpful that these events have smaller entries because this gives people plenty of time to visit with others, to learn about other breeds, and to help where needed. The “family” atmosphere was refreshing. However, while both shows were great experiences, AKC will most likely continue to dominate my show choices as I am one of those people whose comfort zone survives on order and structure. Best success in whatever endeavor you choose for you and your basenji!

Basenjis In Australia

or those of you who aren’t aware, there are six states and two territories in Australia plus a few basenjis! Basenjis are not a commonly seen breed in Australia; in fact, most people have never heard of them, let alone seen one. The basenji network in Australia is a small community, and even though we are all a long way from each other in each state, we like to keep in touch as much as possible for the benefit of the breed. I am a member of the Basenji Hound Association of Queensland (BHAQ). My main role in the club is Editor of the Basenji Scroll, the official publication of the club. I have been editor for over 10 years, and I must say, with the advent of the internet, email and other modern technologies, my job has become a lot easier. I remember when I first started writing the Scroll. It was no mean feat to keep coming up with interesting articles and pictures for the magazine. When I did manage to get pictures I often had to

Australian breeders who are doing testing for Fanconi and other diseases are taking a responsible approach to breeding and are striving to breed basenjis that are strong and free from disease.

Training

Fundraising A big focus of the Basenji Club in Queensland, and I’m sure a lot of the other basenji clubs in Australia, is raising funds to continue rescue work. Some of our most successful activities have been through the huge Bunnings Warehouse, a large hardware franchise in Australia. They allow community clubs to participate each weekend by hosting a Sausage Sizzzle. This fund raising event is typically booked out sixe months in advance. So far we’ve been lucky enough to get three weekends in the last year or so which has boosted the club coffers enormously. We’ve also done a big sale at the Rocklea Markets in Brisbane, a book sale at the Logan Library, and in 2010 we presented our very first basenji calendar!

We have myriad of animal trainers and experts in Australia Relaxing in the sunshine. Rosie, Sherman and Mimi offering all sorts of services such as dog obedience and dog psychology. Here’s a funny, or maybe not so basenjis coming in to rescue is around the funny, little anecdote about my first two-year mark. We seem to get more boys basenji, Foley. Foley was my first dog than girls coming through rescue, and the ever; I’d been raised with cats, so maybe number of dogs coming through each year in hindsight that was a good thing as my can vary greatly. expectations weren’t as high as they might Lure Coursing As I mentioned earlier in this article, have been had I been exposed to You’ll be impressed to know also, that the development of our club website and (normal?!?) dogs growing up.

HUNTING BASENJIS IN FINLAND

By Arto Harju & Katja Lappalainen, Finland

Photo Copyright: Katja Lappalainen

The

breeder of our basenjis, Mrs. Tiina Taavitsainen of Bulldobas Basenjis, asked us to write about our hunting experiences and share them with the readers of The Modern Basenji. Arto’s interview of hunting basenjis was also published in a big Swedish hunting magazine Jakt & Jägare (05/2011). Little bit of background: We are a couple living in Somero (South-West Finland), where we have an old farm with our own fields, a small river and pond, etc. As we both love the wild nature of Lapland, we also bought summer places from Salla and Pudasjarvi which gives us hunting possibilities in all these places. We are members in two hunting clubs. Every autumn we go to the North for hunting some grouse and also moose with our dogs. Arto has been hunting since he was a teenager, and Katja passed her hunting license several years ago, but usually she just uses the camera. Our first hunting dog was German Shorthair Pointer bitch, Takapellon Piitu (1999-2010), who competed in elite-class in field trials. Currently we have six dogs: Basenji male BISS C.I.B Fi Se No Nord CH, Basenji Of The Year’99 in Finland Bulldobas Whipper-Snapper ‘Aatu’ (dob. 17th Nov. 1997) Weimaraner bitch Scuba’s Hot Scotch ‘Nessa’ (dob. 13th Jan. 2004) Basenji bitch SBOS Fi Se CH FiJW-05 EuJW-06 Bulldobas La Scala ‘Diva’ (dob. 26th Dec. 2004) German Shorthaired Pointer bitch Takapellon Nieida ‘Neida’ (dob. 16th March 2006) Basenji bitch Bulldobas Court And Spark ‘Eve’ (dob. 20th Dec. 2009) Jämthund (Swedish Elkhound) bitch Haukkuhurtan Rin-TinTin ‘Tinka’ (dob. 12th Nov. 2010) I (Arto) started hunting with basenjis 4-5 years ago. For the training purposes for our pointing gundogs we bred pheasants. Our Diva-basenji showed great interest in them, so I also used her in pheasant training and was convinced of her hunting instincts. When the grouse-hunting season started, we headed to north where Diva got the opportunity to show her skills in the nearby forests of our cottage while our other hunting dogs were resting. The bird population was down that year, but I shot the first hazel grouse for Diva, who was so proud and excited! Diva has extremely strong Diva’s enthusiasm shows hunting instincts and really does work in the forest. No matter what the weather is, she is looking for game. During this five- year period I’ve shot about ten grouse with basenjis. More would have been possible, but, since the grouse population in Finland has been relatively weak for several years, in many situations I have decided not to shoot. Last autumn I shot more birds with Diva than with our field trial awarder GSP. Our young basenji girl, Eve, (whose dam is Diva’s cousin) has also THE MODERN BASENJI - Page - 8

THE MODERN BASENJI - Page - 9

proven her talent as she was only nine months old when she flushed her first black grouse. We have high hopes for her hunting career! Eve also shares my passion for fishing; she’s always ready to go for a lake trip!

Eve ready to hunt.

How does the grouse hunting happen with basenjis then? As we all know, basenjis have really sharp senses -- excellent hearing and sense of smell. The basenji is more of an air scent dog, but it can also be used for trailing. It normally searches inside the shotgun range (20-50 meters). The basenji expresses very clearly when it has found the scent of birds and then searches faster and wider. A basenji works as flushing hunting dogs. When it flushes, the bird doesn’t fly very far. Possibly the basenji’s silent approach, small size and red color make it look like a fox in bird’s eyes. Anyway, after the first bird contact, the basenji tracks the bird to the tree where it landed. As the basenji doesn’t bark, the visibility vest is a must to spot the dog’s location. The basenji gets the grouse’s full attention, and goes around the tree and jumps toward it making whining noises at the same time. The bird starts answering with its own sounds which teases the basenji. Now it’s possible to sneak closer. One autumn we saw only a few grouse, and I didn’t want to shoot any of them, so had a great opportunity to watch one scene: A Black grouse and Diva were “discussing” for over half an hour, and I bet this would have continued for several hours if I hadn’t slapped my hands together to drive the bird away. I believe that basenjis are very suitable for grouse hunting in distant forest areas. Basenjis’ basic obedience is not that good so the risk of being hit by a car is high when we are closer to roads. September is hunting time for grouse and

is also very suitable for basenjis as the weather is not too cold. They love to chase everything, but as they do not bark, I don’t think they are very suitable as scent hounds, like for hare hunting. I really think that grouse hunting with basenjis is very special because of their searching ability. You can see/hear them almost all the time and their movements are so light and silent that you get to see the bird situations very close. Basenjis are also very good at tracking the wounded game. Like every other breed, basenjis have their weaknesses. First of all, they do lack certain level of obedience. Our basenjis run freely, and they normally obey the whistle very well, but they do everything with their own style and speed. Retrieving is not their strongest skill, nor is water work. Consequently, I don’t think basenjis can ever be used for duck hunting. Some important things to know if you would like to start hunting with your basenji: Get your basenji used to gunshots at an early stage and make sure that your dog has enough hunting instincts. Watch how it behaves on shot game (with another dog). If possible, try pheasant training with your dog on leash. If your basenji is interested in pheasants, it will be interested in grouse, too. A puppy should get familiar with the woods, and be taught to come back when you use a whistle. You can teach this to an adult as well, but it’s always easier with a puppy. When your basenji is gun-proof, it has proven hunting instincts, it comes to you when you whistle, and the forest is familiar area to it, you can start training practical hunting. Find a distant forest, with no roads or other distraction nearby and go alone with your basenji -- no other people or dogs along on this early training. In the beginning, your basenji will move very close to you. Encourage the dog when it starts showing spontaneous search. Don’t make the walks too long in the beginning so your basenji won’t lose interest. Try to find areas where you know grouse live to make it more probable for the basenji to have bird contact. And don’t be disappointed if your basenji doesn’t work as you wish for on the first trips. Patience is very important when hunting with basenjis. All in all, hunting with basenjis is really interesting even for an experienced hunter, and the dogs surely love it! Running after a plastic bag such as in lure coursing is not hunting for them; they THE MODERN BASENJI - Page - 10

know better. Diva and Eve start yelling every time I put my hunting equipment on. They want to make sure they are not left at home. Our basenjis are not just beautiful; they are true hunting dogs! Hopefully you enjoyed our story, see more photos at our homepages: http:// www.nieida.com/

Lessons Learned: • Never send relatives you want to remain friends with to pick up a basenji puppy twenty hours from home. • Confining a basenji puppy is like confining an overflowing toilet. • NEVER send a puppy out of its home unless it has been well socialized, been leash broke, been car trained, taught to pee and poop outside, and taught to see strangers as brand new friends. • Always live in the South where 6-week old puppies can go out and play in the yard and learn life’s lessons from the older adults.

The Other Games in Town I recently decided to step outside the realm of the AKC world to venture to some different dog show venues. - International All-Breed Canine Association and the United Kennel Club By Wanda Pooley

ver the years many people have talked about the United Kennel Club (UKC) shows and the International All-Breed Canine Association (IABCA) shows. Up until this year IABCA was a member of the German based Union Cynologie International - UCI. Moreover, since I received conflicting reports about these events, I decided to find out for myself how these two title-awarding organizations work. IABCA shows began over 20 years ago with the intent to offer owners of purebred dogs the opportunity to earn an International Championship title on their dogs right here in the USA rather than travel abroad to earn such awards. As this was a mission to learn, I decided to enter a seasoned basenji that I felt could adapt well to any new situations. Blade (MBIS, MBISS Am GCH CH/Can CH AB-Rafiki The Icon of Cool) took these experiments in stride, as I was confident he would. In June Blade and I went to the IABCA show in Hutto, TX, an outlying community north of Austin. This weekend event held four shows -- two each day. I opted to enter all four shows which made for a pretty tired dog and handler by Sunday evening. An IABCA International Championship title is achieved after receiving three IABCA Award Certificates. These certificates must be awarded by three different judges, with at least two of the judges licensed in different countries. (for example: 2 Americans and 1 Canadian). In order for Blade to earn an International CH Title, he had to receive a V-1 rating (Very Excellent) from three of the four judges that weekend. Dogs in the ring compete with their breed standard. For example, all the dogs in one class may receive a V-1 rating. The judge then determines how these V-1 dogs are ranked by assigning a suffix letter such as ‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’, etc. after the rating. The dog earning a

V-1(a) is considered the winner of that class and is eligible to compete for Best of Breed. After the ring evaluation, which is the same process as in AKC shows, the judge

completes a written Judge’s Report and discusses the results with the exhibitor. In an AKC show, the judge is alloted two and a half minutes per dog; in an IABCA show, each exhibitor may spend 5-10 minutes with the judge. Hence, a 100-dog entry will take each of the four judges about four hours to complete his/her of the assignment. Best of Breed is determined in the same manner as an AKC show. The winners of each class -- dogs and bitches -- compete for BOB. The only exception is that IABCA offers no Winners Class. The breed winner then goes on to compete in its respective group and like AKC, the winners of each group continue on to Best in Show competition. Sounds simple, right? Now, just extrapolate that to four shows in two days. Strong contenders get quite a workout. Blade competed in the Hound Group for each show, the Best Bred-By Group, the Best In Show BBE, THE MODERN BASENJI - Page - 16

and then twice in BIS. By the end of Sunday, I had lost count of the number of times Blade had been in the ring. Speaking of puppies, these youngsters can get quite a workout so if you plan to enter an IABCA show, which I strongly encourage you to do if one comes to your area, consider how much work your puppy might face before submitting that entry. Personally, if I planned to enter a puppy, I would select a couple of the shows, maybe one each day, rather than give him a big dose of “dog show mania.” The most popular features of an IABCA show is the written critique. People told me they found this facet the most helpful in terms of learning more about their breed standard and forcing them to look objectively at their own dogs. The judges really seemed to enjoy working at an IABCA show as it gave them the opportunity to discuss, face-toface, the merits of each entry, something that rarely happens at an AKC show. Because an objective evaluation is critical, judges never rush the exhibitors through the process. It was pleasant to not worry about the clock pushing the events. All four judges were also approved AKC judges Because the average IABCA show is much smaller, entry-wise, than AKC shows, exhibitors and spectators had plenty of time to visit with one another and to share ideas and experiences. I found everyone to be very helpful in explaining the show process. On Sunday afternoon I was amazed when a couple of fellow exhibitors came running out to the lawn where I was exercising Blade to tell me I needed to get to the Best Bred-By Group Ring. The judge was actually holding the ring until I arrived! Amazing, don’t you think? The overall quality of the dogs in attendance that weekend was very good. Each show’s Hound Group had an impressive depth of dogs. Blade acquitted

THE MODERN BASENJI - Page - 17

himself nicely, but he surely had to work for the honours he won. The Bests in Show judging was equally impressive. Clearly, people take this venue seriously. Going to an IABCA show gives one the opportunity to see many rare breeds not recognized by AKC. Dogs such as the American Hairless Terrier, Australian Stumpy-Tail Cattle Dog, Barbet, and Bolognese were some of the rare breeds exhibited. Just attending one of the IABCA shows is an education. At the end of the day on Sunday, Blade had earned four IABCA Award

Certificates with V-1 ratings. Three of those were applied to his International Championship title and the 4th will be used to apply for a higher title when another IABCA show comes to my area. This is Texas so I have big area to cover. Houston is the next closest show.

UNITED KENNEL CLUB The United Kennel Club was established in 1898 and is the largest all-breed performance dog registry in the world. It has 15,000 annually licensed events a year, 60 percent of which are tests of hunting ability, training, and instinct. UKC takes pride in offering family oriented, friendly, educational events. In mid-August a United Kennel Club show was scheduled at the same site in Hutto, TX. Since I had a free weekend, I entered Blade under the Temporary Listing option. Like IABCA, UKC shows also have smaller entries and can fit two shows into one day. In order for Blade to earn a UKC CH he needed to get three competition wins under three different judges. The likelihood of other basenjis entering this weekend of shows was slim to none so I entered another basenji, Seri (CH AB Service While You Wait). Blade could have also earned competition wins in Group. However, because this was going to be a small show, according to the Show Secretary, there was no guarantee other sighthounds would entered. Unlike

AKC, hounds are divided into two groups -- Scent and Sight. Ironically, as it turned out, there were plenty of sighthound breeds and only one scent hound entered. UKC shows have a very relaxed atmosphere. While the morning show had an official start time listed, that didn’t mean judging would actually begin on time. Gate entries are allowed and about a third of a day’s entries may be made up of people who arrive the morning of the show to enter. Other than me, who was fully indoctrinated into the AKC preciseness of time concept, no one seemed to be concerned about getting to the ring on time. When the Show Secretary finished taking the gate entries and recording them on the judges’ books, each group and breed order was posted by each respective ring gate. It was then the ring stewards started calling for dogs. The groups and breeds stayed in the same ring all four shows; only the judges rotated. I found this to be a nice arrangement as I didn’t have to scramble across the building to get to another ring. Again, this venue recognizes many rare breeds. After the IABCA experience, I was able to identify several dogs. Judges at these shows may also be approved AKC judges. They appeared to enjoy the more casual environment, especially to have the ability to chat more with exhibitors, both inside and outside the rings. People didn’t seem concerned about this openness between exhibitors and judges either. It really felt more like one big happy family than the usual bit of tenseness that can sometimes be felt at an AKC show. I thoroughly enjoyed talking to these judges about their careers and how they got started as UKC judges. Some told me they felt closer to the exhibitors, and they especially liked being able to get their hands on many dog breeds in one day. UKC approves judges, and, other than four specific breeds, lets those judges determine their own capabilities to grade the breeds they judge. American Eskimo Dogs, American Pit Bull Terrier, Belgian Shepherd Dog, and Toy Fox Terrier breeds require judges to apprentice at a number of shows under the guidance of approved judges before being granted provisional status to award championship points. THE MODERN BASENJI - Page - 18

Some judges would like to see more breeds added to the apprenticeship program, but for the time being, only these four are designated. It took me a while to get used to seeing a Champions class and a Grand Champions class in addition to the other more familiar classes. The winners of all theses classes then compete for Best of Breed. This means every class winner has a shot at beating the titled dogs. This is very similar to the method of judging in the United Kingdom. Blade won Best of Breed in three shows which gave him the 100 points and three competition wins needed to qualify for a UKC CH title. I pulled him from the fourth show to give Seri the opportunity to earn a competition win from the Group. Achieving a Grand Champion title would take more strategy as the requirements call for a dog to win the Champion class five times with at least three champions entered at each show and under three different UKC judges or optionally go Best of Breed over multiple Grand Champions. Basenjis in UKC competition in my area are scant, and would leave it to me to put Champion titles some of my other dogs to create competition. Now, for those breeds where the numbers are plentiful, earning a Grand Champion title is more realistic. Owners of low-entry breeds, such as the basenji, would have a difficult and expensive time achieving that level The relaxed nature of a UKC show was very pleasant, making this a good choice for a puppy or young dog to get the feel of the ring along with the usual noise and bustle of a dog show. Judges were very patient with the pups, most likely because the time constraint doesn’t exist at UKC shows. This factor alone removes the pressure for an exhibitor. No need to rush to make a ring time or worry about holding up the class. Both venues were great experiences, and I encourage exhibitors to give each a try. Personally, I feel AKC title requirements are tougher to meet; hence earning a CH is very rewarding. That said, I don’t envy those competitors in countries such as the UK who have only a limited number of shows each year and have to work hard to earn even one CC against well-established UK Champions.

The Lost Basenji and the

Cock-Eyed Goat

ON THE LIGHTER SIDE OF LIFE Just one of those fun stories... by Mary Lou Kenworthy

onds between animals can be very strong and can transcend time and space. One example of this was the unlikely friendship of a black and white basenji bitch, a Carolina Dog and a Nubian goat. The dog, Jake, and the goat, Peter, lived with their owner at the edge of the Brandywine hunt country. The owner’s girl friend and her basenji, Bea, often visited, and the animals became good friends. This was a safe place to let the animals run free. The hunt country is vast and comprised of many large farms like the King Ranch. This was familiar country to me as I had ridden over much of the area years before my adventures of hunting for lost basenjis in that area. All the fences are set well back from the roads to allow safe passage for horses, riders and their hounds. Many dogs run free as traffic is light and the locals are always on the lookout for animals. The phone rang one morning shortly after I had gotten to bed. I was working the night shift at the time and was not ready to

get up. However, when my friend on the other end said there was a lost basenji, I was wide awake. Shirley said she’d pick me up in about an hour. I brought my dogs in and settled them back in their crates for the day. A young lady, Pat, who worked at New Bolton Center had gotten a puppy from Shirley. Bea, now over a year old, had gone missing. There had been a lot of spring rain in the area and the Brandywine Creek that serpentines through the countryside, was swollen to the top of its banks. The only safe place to cross it was at one of the many bridges. Both Bea’s owner and her boyfriend, John, had to work during the day, but their house was left open for us to use as the center of the search. This gave us access to the phone and a list of numbers to keep in touch with them. When we turned into the drivewaym the creek bank on my side ran up to the front yard. At the top of the bank stood the oddest looking, and biggest goat either of us had ever seen. His eyes appeared to be crossed and they had a wild look in them. “Well, get out,” Shirley told me. THE MODERN BASENJI - Page - 20

I looked at the goat again and said, “You get out first.” “Why me? You’re the one who had goats.” “But you’re the one on the other side of the station wagon.” Shirley put one foot on the ground. The goat never moved. She got out and the goat turned and walked away. We made it safely into the house and called Pat to see if there was any recent news about the lost basenji. We learned that Peter, this strangelooking goat we had encountered, had been deprived of oxygen at birth and was never quite right, but he was harmless. Peter had a habit of wandering off and ‘forgetting’ to come home. He was well known in the area and eventually someone would call and say, “Come get your goat.” The three of them, the two dogs and the goat, had started off to the south two days earlier. Peter came back shortly thereafter but the two dogs went off on an adventure. Four hours later Jake came back alone. Pat and John searched for Bea till dark. The next day they started putting up posters for the missing Bea, and notified the proper authorities. Now, we were on the scene, and, armed with more posters, we began our search for the errant basenji. Jake followed

the station wagon as we drove slowly around the area in ever widening circles. We crossed the bridge just south of John’s place, and then crossed the next bridge. The thought was that when Jake came home he crossed a bridge, and Bea stayed on the other side. Once she missed the bridge, she was hopelessly stuck on the wrong side of the creek. The first day of our search produced nothing, and we went back home after promising Pat we would return the next day. I told Shirley I would meet her at John’s so that we could go our separate ways so I could go home earlier to take care of my dogs. A school bus driver reported sighting a little black and white dog in the area on the far side of the Brandywine creek from John’s. That was just where we had been searching. We both drove around all day with no luck. Houses were few and far between so we never saw anyone to ask if they had seen the dog; we had to rely on spotting the basenji for ourselves. Our third day of the search was the fifth day that Bea had been missing. We decided to search together in one vehicle. The only news was that now Peter, the goat, was missing. No problem they said, he does this all the time and will come home eventually. We decided to reverse our course and started off on the road to the north of John’s home. This was a direction the animals never went. It was devoid of anything interesting. About two miles in, the road abruptly ended at a major heavily traveled road. We turned right, planning to check out several places where the posters had been left, and to drop in at the Embreville Police Station. The first thing we came to was a stone arched bridge that, while quite beautiful, was also pretty scary. It rose so sharply and so high that you couldn’t see if any traffic was coming toward you. It also appeared quite narrow -- less than two cars-width. I wouldn’t want to meet another vehicle on the bridge, and I surely would be afraid to walk across it. At the the other side of the bridge was a tavern where we inquired about our missing Bea. After going about 15+ miles down this road we decided to drop back down into the hunt country again and work back over the area where Bea had been spotted. The police had no word about the basenji and at the end of the day we had had no luck, either. I left for home to tend to my own

dogs. It was time for John and Pat to take over the search again along with their other dog, Jake. Working the night shift and getting only a few hours sleep each day had drained me. I decided to take the next day off, stay home and sleep, and return the following day if help was needed to the search for Bea. The next morning I had just gotten home from work and put the dogs out when the phone rang wotj the latest update on the search. The evening before, Pat & John received a call from a lady who told her, “I think we have your goat.” John was expected home from work soon so Pat told the lady they would be right over to get Peter. Pat asked for directions and was surprised to find that Peter was at a home on the other side of that busy road just a few miles down from the bridge and the tavern. He had never gone in that direction before, and it was amazing to us that he had not been hit on the busy road. The lady told Pat that the goat had been hanging around their back yard for two days now, and she was afraid to go outside. Her husband had tried to chase the goat away, but it refused to leave. When they called the police, they were given John’s phone number and were assured that the owner would come get the goat. Pat asked if the goat was still there. The lady replied, “Yes, he’s out in our back yard playing with a little black and white dog that has been living under our shed for the past three or four days.” Apparently Bea had searched in circles for a way home, but the rapidly moving creek had always blocked her path. Her circles kept taking her further north until either she realized that she was past where she wanted to go or else the busy road had discouraged her from going any further in that direction. Frustrated, she holed up under a shed. Peter apparently got the vibes of his distraught friend and went to help. He went off into unfamiliar territory, across a dangerous bridge and down a heavily traveled road. Peter found his friend when the humans had failed. Perhaps he traveled in the wee small hours of the morning when traffic was at a minimum. That makes one wonder, if he crossed the bridge at closing time for the Tavern, what would inebriated patrons have thought if they came face to face with a big, ugly, cockeyed goat?  THE MODERN BASENJI - Page - 21

New Pilot Program From AKC The Open Show is currently a special attraction being offered as a pilot program to refine the regulations. The Open Show is very similar to a sanctioned match and is being developed to attract new exhibitors. Some of the differences from a sanctioned match are listed below: 1. Miscellaneous Breeds will be included in a “Miscellaneous Group” and the Group Winner will compete in Best in Open Show. 2. FSS Breeds will be included in an FSS Group and the Group Winner will compete in Best in Open Show. 3. An e-mail invitation will be sent to all 4-mo through 2-year old registered dogs within 50 miles of the event. 4. Professional handlers and CH dogs may not compete in the Open Show. 5. Open Show judges must have an AKC judge’s number but need not be approved for any specific breed. 6. Non-judges may apply for a judge’s number through Judging Operations. An anatomy test and a procedures test will be required. 7. Open Show experience can be used for new breed approval requirements. 8. Clubs can count the Open Show as two of their eligibility requirements. One is credit for holding the event and the second is credit for providing the breed educational opportunity for judges. Since this is a pilot program that is being refined, there may be minor changes throughout the development period. After the concept is finalized sometime in 2012 we intend to offer points for a Certificate of Merit beginner’s title to appeal to new exhibitors. Clubs wishing to hold a Open Show should contact AKC Event Operations at:

BASENJI FANCIERS OF GREATER PHOENIX Arnieta Kurtz

Basenji Fanciers of Greater Phoenix Basenji Specialty Sunday, November 6, 2011 Prospector Park, Apache Junction, AZ Conformation Judge . ..................... Mrs. J. R. Crandall Sweepstakes Judge ....................Ms. Jennie D. Behles

We are happy to announce that, after holding our last specialty show in November 2009, we are again planning an independent basenji specialty for November 6, 2011. Our ad on the left gives all the particulars and contacts for information. We will have great trophies, a silent auction, and lunch, as well as friendly people and beautiful basenjis. Dog shows are few and far between in this part of the country, unlike the Midwest region. Finding an all-breed club to work with is almost impossible. The shows are usually at the wrong time of year for basenji puppies, or too far away, or they are four-day shows, forcing us to hold our specialty on a Thursday. This year we are again trying a stand-alone specialty. Last time we used an indoor facility which was adequate, but its size required us to limit the entry. This time we are using a park, so the show will be held outdoors—and we hope for good weather. There are several armadas and people can also put up their own shelters. For those able to take an extended dog show vacation, we have an amazing six weekends of shows in this region. First, the basenji specialty in northern California, with an all-breed show; a standalone basenji specialty in southern California, followed by our stand-alone specialty. After that, if you care to make the trip to Tucson, you will find two weekends in a row of four-day all-breed shows. You can follow those shows with a trip to Yuma and another four-day weekend of all-breed shows to finish out the year.

Club members gathered in July for a cookout at the Bob and Sue Joyner’s home. The chicken and hamburgers were indeed cooked outside, but most people chose to actually eat them inside. Chicago had been suffering for more than a week with hot, muggy weather. On some days the heat index rose to 105, 110, and even 115 degrees. (At that rate you could be in Phoenix!) In spite of the weather, everyone enjoyed the delicious and plentiful food, as well as the great company. The dinner was followed by a short meeting. The upcoming show was the main topic. Since appropriate, affordable, and available sites for dog shows are in short supply, we are trying something new for our 37th annual basenji specialty. Aside from two extra winter specialties in the early 1980s, we have always held a stand-alone show. However, this year we will be part of the Chicagoland Hound Association as a designated specialty. The superintendent for the Hound Association, Roy Jones Dog Shows, will handle our entries. This means no raffle or auction, but we will have great ribbons and trophies. Our sweepstakes judge is Dan DeWalt -- a basenji lover and owner for many years. Our judge for regular and non-regular classes will be Francine Schwartz. The CHA judge for basenjis on Sunday will be Patricia Murphy. The Chicagoland Hound Association is offering obedience and rally, as well as junior showmanship, on both Saturday and Sunday. Please see our ad on page 26 for more information.

UK PET SCHEME - REVISED! DEFRA creates new rules that will be easier on the pocketbook when traveling abroad with your pet.

last, beginning January 1st, 2012, the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) announces it will become cheaper and easier to travel abroad with pets when new rules are introduced. The United Kingdom will correspond its pet movement rules with the rest of the European Union from January 1st, 2012, bringing the UK’s Pet Travel Scheme into line with the most recent science. The UK will continue to maintain its high level of protection against animal diseases after the changes, which have the potential to save pet owners around £7 million (or $11 million USD) in fees. Requiring pets to spend six months in quarantine, a practice dating from the 1800s, is no longer necessary because of vastly improved rabies vaccines and treatments. All pets will still need to be vaccinated against rabies. Pets from the European Union (EU) and listed non-EU countries such as the USA and Australia will no longer need the blood test that measures the titer levels for rabies and will only have to wait 21 days before they travel. Pets from unlisted non-EU countries such as India, Brazil and South Africa may enter the UK if they meet certain strict criteria to ensure they are protected against rabies, including a blood test and a three-month wait before they enter the UK. The changes will ensure the risk of rabies coming to the UK remains extremely low. It’s estimated that the new rules mean there would be one case of rabies in a pet in the UK once every 211 years, with the possibility of a person dying from rabies obtained from a pet once in every 21,000 years. Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman said, “The UK’s quarantine system was designed to combat the threat of rabies in the 19th century and has now been left far behind by scientific advances. It’s time we changed these outdated rules which have caused hardship to generations of pets and pet owners, and those who rely on assistance dogs, with too many animals cooped up unnecessarily. “What is needed is a simpler, evidence-based system for protecting the UK from rabies which recognizes the actual risk to pets and pet owners. The EU’s pet movement scheme has been working very well for nearly a decade, and it makes sense for us to have similar rules. It means the UK will remain protected from rabies and other exotic diseases while making it easier and cheaper for people to take their pets abroad.” Chief Medical Officer Professor Dame Sally Davies said, “Rabies is a very serious human disease and the rabies-free status of the UK must be protected. The pet travel scheme provides important protection of public health by ensuring that pets entering the UK are free of rabies and other infections.

“Scientific evidence shows that there is a robust alternative to quarantine in preventing rabies incursion from those countries where there is a high incidence of rabies and good reason for changing our very precautionary rules. The EU pet travel rules have been successful in preventing any cases of rabies occurring in legally moved pets since the scheme started, so harmonizing the UK’s rules with those of the EU will make it easier for those who wish to travel with their pets. “It is important to continue to protect the public against the risk of serious exotic tapeworm infections and the government is pressing to retain our tapeworm controls for pets entering the UK. The wider public health risks from exotic tick-borne infections and the need for tick controls for pets entering the UK will be kept under review.” The UK has been discussing with the European Commission the most appropriate form of tapeworm controls for dogs, to ensure the UK continues to be protected from Echinococcus multilocularis. The Commission has recently indicated that its proposals, expected shortly, would enable the UK and other tapeworm-free countries to retain tapeworm controls, with a requirement that animals be treated between one and five days before returning to the UK. Tick treatment for pet animals returning to the UK will no longer be required. All pet owners travelling abroad with their animals should discuss with their vets the use of treatments, including those designed to control ticks as part of good animal health practice. The UK, along with Ireland, Sweden and Malta, has an exemption from the standard EU pet travel rules. They are all harmonizing their entry rules with the rest of the EU at the same time as the UK.

The “B” LEGAL Blog When Is Your WILL Not Your Own?

By Karla Schreiber

kay, you’ve bitten the bullet and taken care of one of the chores that adults dislike most – you’ve drawn up a last will and testament that contains provisions for the care and maintenance of any basenjis owned by you at the time of your death. The will is duly witnessed, executed, and everybody who should have copies (your primary, secondary and tertiary choices for executor, any trustees, etc.) is in receipt of one. All set, right? You can relax now, knowing that your wishes will be carried out to the letter if and when something happens to you….. That’s the way it works in the movies, but in real life, unfortunately, wills and trust documents often aren’t followed to the letter. Here are a few of the most common mistakes and misconceptions, and ways to potentially avoid them. *Breeder A “assumes” that all basenjis co-owned by and living with Breeder A at the time of her demise will automatically “go to” the coowner(s) recorded on the dogs’ AKC registration papers. Ooops! This is not the case. Breeder A’s ownership interest in the co-owned animal will legally pass to her heir(s) at law unless her will specifically states that at her death, all dogs coowned by her are to become the sole property of the co-owners as named on the dogs’ AKC registration papers. This is especially important if Breeder A leaves behind females that constitute valuable breeding stock. *Breeder Q’s will dutifully leaves a tidy direct gift of cash to Breeder Z, with the

instruction that the funds are for the care and maintenance of Q’s basenji, Mariah. All set, yes? When Breeder Q passes away, Breeder Z will take possession of Mariah, and use the funds to care for her. Ummmm. Maybe. This will occur IF Breeder Z is an honest and upstanding individual. However, once an estate is closed, there is no longer any practical enforcement mechanism in place to require Breeder Z to spend the cash on Mariah. Because under the common law, dogs are property and therefore cannot inherit cash or property, what Breeder Q has actually done is leave a sizeable cash bequest to Breeder Z, with the request that the funds be expended to maintain Mariah. If, however, Breeder Z’s box van breaks down and needs several thousand dollars worth of repairs, the only thing preventing Z from using the bequest for that purpose is Z’s moral integrity, and respect for Q’s wishes. The lesson here is simple: Do not leave a direct bequest of money or money’s worth to someone for the care and maintenance of your dogs after your death unless you trust them implicitly. There are ways to help assure that the recipient will use the money as you intended, such as setting up a pet trust, with a different person serving as trustee, who will parse out the cash to Breeder Z when presented with receipts for appropriate expenditures. *Breeder L is a very lucky individual – flush with cash and other assets. Breeder L’s state of residence allows trusts to be established for the benefit of companion animals, so Breeder L places $200,000 in trust for the care of her now-11 year old basenji, Devon. Devon is set for life, right? Maybe not. Courts have routinely overturned trusts that leave very large sums of money for the care and maintenance of pets if heirs at law decide to contest the amount. Be sure that the amount of money you set aside for your basenjis’ care and maintenance is realistic. Base the amount on pragmatic estimates that factor in your dogs’ ages, actual vet care costs, etc. How you calculated the amount may even be stated directly in THE MODERN BASENJI - Page - 30

your will and/or trust documents. In the case of Devon, Breeder L’s spouse, adult children, or other heirs may be able to contest the pet trust if they can show that Devon’s care and maintenance is more likely to cost $10,000 or less, based on his age, past vet care records and health history. *Breeder P doesn’t want her two elderly basenjis, that have health issues, to be a burden to anyone if something happens to her, so she asks her attorney to add a provision to her will stating that all basenjis owned by her at her death will be humanely euthanized. At the time the will is drafted, Breeder P.’s basenjis are 13 years old and 10 years old, respectively. After executing the will, however, Breeder P purchases a new puppy. When P dies unexpectedly in a car accident, the pup is only three years old, and P never updated her will. Will Breeder P’s young dog have to be euthanized? The answer is probably “No.” Courts also routinely overturn will provisions that mandate euthanasia for younger, healthier pets, assuming a family member or friend is willing to care for the animal. If you want to put this kind of provision in your will, consider providing an age range and additional conditions that make the request a reasonable one. For example, “…It is my wish all dogs that I own at the time of my death that are deemed by Breeder B to be in failing health, or otherwise unable to be adopted or re-homed, be humanely euthanized. *Breeder D attempts to create a pet trust -- using one of those nifty software programs on sale at stores like Office Depot -- as part of her estate planning. However, Breeder D’s state of residence does not authorize trusts for the benefit of companion animals. The trust is therefore null and void, and D’s wishes will not be fulfilled. It is critical in all estate planning, but particularly for those of us specifying how our show/breeding animals should be cared for after our death, to have all required documents drawn up by a licensed attorney familiar with your State’s estate and trust laws. At this

writing, approximately forty-five states have enacted laws that allow trusts to be established for the benefit of companion animals. The laws tend to be fairly uniform, but they are not identical. Breeder D could have assured her wishes were carried out by a) having her will prepared by a licensed attorney familiar with estate planning laws, and b) making sure she understood the best way, given the laws of her State, to provide for her dogs after her death. To see a State-by-State summary of pet trust laws in the United States, visit: http://www.animallaw.info/articles/ armpuspettrusts.htm. (Please note that this, and similar “summary of laws” websites may not be updated frequently. Many states now have their current statutes on line, however, so always double-check to make sure you have the most current version of the statute). One of the biggest differences in State laws authorizing pet trusts is the trust termination date. Some states require the trusts to terminate at the death of the last companion animal covered by the trust, while other states require the trusts to

terminate 21 years after the decedent’s death. The latter provision is typically fine for dogs and cats, but for longer-lived animals like horses, tortoises or birds, a work-around must be created to prevent the trust from terminating too soon. When the trust terminates, the decedent’s will may state who (which person, charity, etc.) should receive any remaining trust balance. If the will doesn’t specify this information, any funds left in the trust will pass to the decedent’s residual beneficiaries (the beneficiaries who receive “whatever” is not specifically bequeathed to a named individual or entity by the decedent’s will). Wills and estate planning are things none of us enjoy thinking about. What’s even worse than slogging through the will preparation process, however, is going to the trouble and expense of preparing a will and related documents, only to have your wishes ignored or overturned after your death. If you want real peace of mind about what will happen to your basenjis when you depart the planet, make sure to avoid the pitfalls above by having your will prepared by a licensed attorney with THE MODERN BASENJI - Page - 31

estate and trust experience. Also, remember to make sure that your named executors and heirs know what your will provides regarding your animals and why having your wishes carried out to the letter is important to you. Last, but not least, don’t forget to revisit your estate planning documents - if not annually, at least every two or three years - to make sure the provisions are up-to-date and still reflect your wishes. That simple task may well be the difference between a will that truly expresses YOUR ‘will’ – and one that – in the end - doesn’t. ‘Til next time, here’s yodeling at you!

JUNIOR COLUMN By Thomas Meade II

What is the most important part of our BCOA National Specialty? Armbands! Camera! Movement! Who’s ready for the 2011 Basenji Club of America National Specialty in Manitowoc, Wisconsin September 20 – 25, 2011? Our specialty will include both conformation and companion events such as Sweepstakes, Regular Classes, Agility, AKC Junior Courser Tests, Obedience, Rally, ASFA Lure Coursing, and AKC Junior Showmanship... and of course an African Basenji Exhibition. Of special interest this year, and every year, is the prestigious Bred-By-Exhibitor (BBE) Class. This is always an impressive class with many successful dog breeders. Winning this class is a big accomplishment, often considered as impressive as winning Best of Breed. As 2011 rolls by, we are slowly figuring out what constitutes a Grand Champion (GCH) and how Select Dog and Select Bitch is awarded. Receiving this prize will be a significant win in view of the number of basenjis entered in the specialty. Best Veteran Classes will bring out some of the ‘old timers’ strutting around the ring. This class always is a crowd favorite, with exhibitors excited to see some of the dogs from ‘days gone by’ again in the ring. At the judge’s discretion, up to 10 Awards of Merit are available this year. Non-Regular Classes include Stud Dog, Brood Bitch, Brace, Best Puppy and Best of Opposite Sex in Sweeps, Best Veteran and Best of Opposite Sex in Sweeps, and Best Junior Handler. I would like to encourage everyone to attend and support the 2011 African Stock Exhibition. The dogs are very interesting and offer us insight to the past, present and future of our breed and numerous breeding programs. This exhibition often prompts sharing of stories and pictures by individuals who have traveled abroad to

Africa for basenjis. It’s the only time during the year we have an opportunity to validate our African basenjis and their exhibitors --- it’s a significant part of our national specialty. Without the first African basenjis --- none of us would have a basenji today. This year the Host Group has planned a great variety of social activities when we are not in the ring or in companion events. Our social activities will begin with a Cookout and Ice Cream Social on Wednesday, and a banquet entitled, “The Test of Time” and auction on Saturday evening. The Memory Walk is going to be very special. Luminaries will be available at the beginning of the walkway. We’ve been asked to bring flowers, pictures, and special items to place next to our luminaries. This event will take place after a presentation by Dr. Jo Thompson on Thursday, September 22, 2011. Are you planning to honor a basenji or two at the Memory Walk? The BCOA Annual General Meeting will take place on Friday, September 23, 2011. This is the most important part of our national specialty as without the club there is no national specialty. This is the one official opportunity for us to discuss and share our accomplishments, goals and challenges as the designated AKC breed club. I hope the officers, board of directors, committee members and general membership will keep the basenjis at the center of focus during the entire meeting. It is our responsibility to further and protect the breed in every avenue through thoughtful discussion -- listening and speaking -- and group decision-making opportunities. We meet once a year as a general membership and have pertinent issues to discuss that directly affect the well-being of the breed now and in the future. Several additional meetings will take place including a Fanconi update lead by THE MODERN BASENJI - Page - 32

Gary Johnson, DVM, University of Missouri. In addition to an update on his work and findings, Dr. Johnson is expected to take questions and facilitate a discussion with the BCOA membership on Saturday, September 24th. On Thursday, September 22nd, Dr. Jo Thompson will present and lead a discussion on current issues regarding native stock basenjis. I feel that we are missing a very important aspect of recognition in the BCOA -- a Hall of Fame (HOF) program. A few of my junior friends have it as part of their national club. New inductees are announced annually at the national specialty, and it is very prestigious honor. A HOF program could be used to honor many of the exceptional basenjis and their breeders at each year’s national specialty. Some breed clubs honor only conformation show dogs, others honor all venues. I would like to see a BCOA Breeders HOF, a Dam and Sire HOF, a Show Dog HOF, and a Performance Dog HOF. The BCOA has many basenjis and breeders that have made significant contributions to the breed. I see a BCOA Hall of Fame bringing together the best of the past... and hopefully directing the present and the future of our breed. A BCOA Hall of Fame would provide a venue for documenting, archiving and honoring breeders and dogs that define excellence. It could also be used as a teaching tool, using pictures and video documentary in an educational capacity at Judging Seminars and Training. As a junior handler and first time basenji breeder, I am not knowledgeable of the great basenjis dogs of the past. A BCOA HOF would provide the means to

Junior Column continued

become more knowledgeable about my breed (in an unbiased way) through reading about significant contributions by specific breeders and dogs, looking at pictures and studying video. I hope a discussion of the possibility of forming a BCOA Hall of Fame will be on the agenda at our general meeting this year. There are many basenjis and breeders that deserve forever recognition and acknowledgment from our club. I also hope to see the BCOA Top 20 again as part of our national specialties. I attended the Top 20 in Kentucky two years ago and enjoyed watching the best of the best as three judges carefully examined each dog (following a specified points scale) on the table and through movement. The evening included formal dress, a beautifully printed Top 20 program, complete with a picture and bio of each dog, and fancy black and white satin

participation ribbons. I believe that an internet link from the BCOA website to pictures, video excerpts and the printed program would serve as an excellent educational, archival and public service tool for the sport of purebred dogs and to potential basenji owners. The Top 20 is a prestigious event, open only to the top twenty basenjis based on the number of dogs defeated during the past year. It is an opportunity to acknowledge breeders and/or handlers that have had an exceptionally successful dog show year. For many breeders and exhibitors, this is the highlight of their national specialty. I would also like to see a group picture taken of everyone entered in Best of Breed (BOB) immediately after everyone has been checked in by the ring steward. This is a quick and great way to document the group and their dogs for our

national specialty archives and can be posted on our website. It doesn’t have to be fancy --- simply a picture with everyone and their dogs. 1 – 2 - 3 click. A Moment in Time. Done. In closing, I wish everyone safe travels to and from our very amazing 2011 Basenji Club of America National Specialty. Thank you, Manitowoc, Wisconsin and the Manitowoc County Expo and Ice Center for hosting us. Thank you to the Host Club, officers, board members and various committees for your preparation and work. May our specialty be a time of anticipation, excitement, and reflection. Further information and specific details regarding the specialty can be found at <http://www.bcosw. org/2011BCOANational/index.html>.

PRODUCT REVIEW By Lisa Stewart

Thundershirt™ “With its patent-pending design, Thundershirt’s™ gentle, constant pressure has a dramatic calming effect for most dogs if they are anxious, fearful or over-excited.” http://www.thundershirt.com/HowItWorks/ This product receives a mixed review from me. I have several whippet friends who swear by the effectiveness of this product at calming their dogs both in storms and for travel. I had to take the shirt in a bit to achieve the tight wrap on my whippet that it says is most effective as the size recommended for her was too wide across the chest; the shirt did, however, fit basenji Trog quite snugly. There is a minimal benefit to my whippet in alleviating her travel anxiety, but a nice fleece jammie gives the same amount of calming at half the cost. I tried the Thundershirt™ on basenji Trog, who has very severe storm anxiety. It did calm him some, but he still required lap time to be really happy in a storm. His wearing the Thundershirt may have repelled some of the static electricity buildup that accompanies thunderstorms, thereby lessening some of his tension. I am sure that I would not leave the Thundershirt™ on either of my dogs unattended as they would be likely to undress themselves or chew holes in it trying to get it off. Unless it is quite cold, my basenjis have always felt clothes to be a fashion don’t.

Hi Everyone!

ell, it’s now August and after a very, very hot summer -- yes, it gets hot and humid here, too -with the humidex hovering around 110-140 degrees F. We are finally moving on to cooler temps of 80-90 degrees F. Hopefully, our Fall season will be better. As for racing, while it’s been simply too hot to even hold a meet, we did manage to have one race meet. Our 2011 BCOC National Specialty was held in the eastern section of Canada in New Brunswick. I toured the area for about five days before arriving at the show site. We saw some wonderful country, sights, and local flavour. The wooden box trophies for the top winners were crafted by L. Jane Williams, Candu Creations, and were very well received. The donations of prizes and food made by Eukanuba were wonderful. We also had some nice calendars available. Thee list of top winners in each category. is provided below.

Each year our national specialty shifts to another region in Canada. The 2012 BCOC National Specialty will be hosted by Erie Shores Kennel Club located in Caledonia, Ontario. It’s only about an hour from the border at Niagara Falls/Fort Erie/Buffalo and is promising to be a very good year as well. We are looking at a panel of hound judges for the whole show. Tentatively the dates are May 31 to June 3. The combination of the BCOA specialty and the all-breed shows makes six set of points available. Visit the BCOC website for updates as they become available throughout the year. http://www.basenjiclubofcanada.com/BCOC-Specialties.html Please take note of these dates and plan to take a vacation. The show is right on the Grand River with many things available 2011 CHAMPIONSHIP TITLES Ch. Ahmahr Nahr’s Sweeter Than Wine Title Earned: 26 Mar 2011

JUDGES CRITIQUE - GLEN DYMOCK

was a pleasure to judge the Basenji Club of Norway two-day specialty which attracted a record entry of 80 dogs made up of 50 adults and 30 puppies. The first day started with quite heavy rain, but luckily the club had two human dynamos in the shape of Kurt Espeland, who doubled as ring steward, and chairman Dag Christer Lie, and together they wove a series of large umbrella-like structures over the entire ring. Exhibitors had to dodge the tent poles, but the general consensus was that “Circus Basenji” was a great success and did the trick. My very efficient ring secretary was Linda Øvreeide. Best in Specialty went to a most beautiful bitch, Ch, Doberguard’s Maya Masterpiece, such a little gazelle and with a top quality head with fine wrinkle. Her leggy appearance and lightness of build pleased me greatly. She had become a champion only the week before, dogs in Norway being unable to claim a title under two years of age and after the judging was presented with a special trophy for Top Basenji of the Year. She was bred via frozen semen by Aus Grand Ch, Afrikenji Hot Sumaknight ex Ch. Matabichi Dee-Dee Dazzling Diamond (whom I gave BOB when I last judged in Norway) by local breeder Jeanette Strand and was handled by Sumaknight’s Australian breeder/owner Helen Veless, who was on holiday in Europe. Second Best Bitch went to the Swedish-bred and owned Ch. Karimba’s Molly Moon who had very good wrinkle and the breed’s typical far-seeing expression. Just like Masterpiece, she scored highly in shortness of back and loin where so many others failed. As the Best Bitch did not need the CC, this went to Molly Moon who thus became a Nordic Champion as she now holds champion titles in three Scandinavian countries. Her owner/ breeder is Helene Roos. Best Dog also went to Sweden in the shape of the upstanding and stallion-like Ch. Zahleka Emile Emilion, owned by Yvonne Adolfsson. Although Swedish-bred by Linda Carlsson, his breeding is pure American as he is by a C-Quest dog ex a Klassics bitch. He was taller than ideal but I was prepared to forgive this as it is always preferable to have an elegant tall dog as opposed to one who is within the Standard height merely because it has short legs. He was a very positive and effortless mover, and I am told he won the Swedish specialty last year under Jon Curby (Kibushi) of the US. Second Best Dog went to the brindle, Matabichi Free Jewel Stripe, who won the youth class. He is by a German dog, and ex a

French bitch but is largely of US breeding. He appealed greatly for his lightly-built frame and fine bone, but his best is yet to come, I am sure, as he still has some maturing to do. He is owned by Camilla Hunn and his breeder is Gerd Søiland whose Matabichi breeding is obviously a mainstay of Norwegian bloodlines as it featured in many of my winners including the dam of the BIS and Best Puppy Bitch winners. The second day dawned fine and warm, such a contrast to the day before. Overnight “Circus Basenji” had been dismantled, thanks in part to some gusty winds! This day was confined to puppies and these never compete with the adults. BPIS went to the striking and enormously promising black/white dog, Kingwanas Happy Hunter of D’Guard, another handled by Helen Veless (a good show for her!) and conceived using frozen semen from her Sumaknight. Happy Hunter was probably the soundest dog I judged over the weekend, and later he won best gait for his lovely easy action and squareness going around. A beautiful head with fine wrinkle completed the picture. He was bred by Dag Christer and Liv Irene Lie (co-bred by Jeanette Strand) and is owned by Sissel Heier and Terrie Miller. His dam is a Vicita’s bitch – this is another influential kennel as the Best Veteran was Ch, Vicita’s Fancy Face, looking youthful for her nine years. Best Puppy Bitch was Moyomema Zelda Waridi, very feminine and certainly with the shortest back among the puppy bitches. Maintained her lovely square outline on the move. She is owned and bred by Jørn Holvik and is sired by Emile Emilion who also sired a number of other puppies who were placed highly, so already he is beginning to make his mark as a stud dog as often these ‘stallion’ males do. There was a very cheerful barbecue on the first evening with everyone making the most of things in spite of the weather, which made me feel that you Norwegians make these specialties a great social occasion. This positive attitude will no doubt help to keep this rare breed thriving in this part of the world for many years to come. Thank you for making me and my aunt, Barbara Taylor, so welcome. We really loved the campsite and felt that there was a lovely relaxed atmosphere at the show. A special mention too for those exhibitors who had travelled from abroad – your efforts were very much appreciated as I know many of you had travelled long distances. Clubs cannot exist without the support of intrepid exhibitors like you! Thank you also for the gift of the wooden plate with the club’s logo – a super memento of a happy time spent in Norway with friendly basenji people and their lovely dogs. 
