FROM THE EDITORS

is the end of the second year for The Modern Basenji - Worldwide. Where did the time go? The support from subscribers and contributors has been wonderful. This encourages us at the magazine that we are on the right track with providing our readers news about basenjis around the world. No other publication offers as much diverse material about basenjis as seen within the pages of The Modern Basenji - Worldwide. We plan to revisit the idea of offering a digital subscription for those who are content to thumb through electronic pages on their screen. With the use of some upgrades, our digital service can now provide such a service. This option might be appealing, especially to some of our foreign readers as the cost to subscribe would be lower. For the rest of our readers, we want to assure everyone The Modern Basenji - Worldwise will continue with the format that provides that bright, glossy publication for people who enjoy holding in a real magazine in their hands. SUBSCRIBERS - Speaking of subscriptions, those of you who joined the magazine at the first of year, it’s time to renew! Visit www.modernbasenij.com/subscribe.html to renew. Take advantage of the 2-year subscription and save money! ADVERTISERS -- take heed! Beginning in 2013, The Modern Basenji - Worldwide will offer a savings to those who like to advertise often. We are going to offer a 10% savings per page if you book a page in all four issues each year. For example, one color page in four issues is $500.00, but if you book in advance the rate will only be $450 -- a savings of $50. Payment must be made in advance, but you can sign up for this savings any time in the year and still get coverage in the next four issues from your reservation. Visit www.modernbasenji.com/advertise. html to set up your schedule. The Advertising Managers will contact you before each quarter’s deadline for your ad materials. What’s coming in 2013? Beginning with the 1st quarter 2013, we will explore the aspects of artificial insemination in basenjis. Several breeders have taken advantage of using AI over the worry and stress of shipping a valuable bitch to a stud dog. We will compare using fresh extended versus frozen semen and answer questions such as: • How do I handle international shipping? • What tests are needed before collecting semen on a dog? • What’s the optimal age to collect from a male? • What paperwork is involved before and after collection? • How long does frozen semen remain viable? • What should I expect to pay for storage costs? • How do I find reproductive specialists and freezing centers? Don’t miss a single issue of 2013 as we have many great topics to cover!

Esenjo -

Preserving Her Unique Contribution

by Dr. Jo Thompson

In *PART I we identified the unique region within the traditional range of the basenji where Esenjo was found, relative to other foundation stock. The distinction of her geographic origin and the fact that in the AKC registered breed, she alone represents the portion of the breed’s source gene pool from that area, potentially makes individuals down from Esenjo all the more important to the future genetic health of our registered dogs in the breed. You might ask, “Why?” *[ESENJO, PART 1 - Origin Re-examined. The Modern Basenji Worldwide, Vol. 2 Issue 3 Fall 2012, pages 16-17]

ESENJO, PART II

FRIEND Rameses Tut-Ankhamen

ONE

of my primary interests in the current state of our breed and its future well-being is proper population studies of genetic diversity. The basic principle of maintaining genetic diversity is to retain unique founder genes. Here, Esenjo offers a fascinating study. Imported by Luis Clark from southeastern Congo (then Zaire) on 28 August 1978 at the age of approximately 10 weeks, Esenjo was five years old when Margaret Sommer met her on 8 June 1983. At that time, Esenjo was a maiden bitch in season. So, Margaret selected a mate, Rameses Tut-Ankhamen (known as Friend) from her home pack and began the heroic effort to preserve genetic diversity through creating an Esenjo bloodline. Friend was a lovely line-bred stud dog; 15 generations patrilineal-line down from foundation dog Kindu and six generations matrilineal-line down from foundation bitch Fula. The puppies, a result of that mating, were born on 6 August 1983 and were the only litter produced out of Esenjo. Esenjo had to be euthanized in November 1988 at the age of 10 years after suffering progressively crippling pain from degenerative discospondylosis - Spondylosis deformans (personal communication with Margaret Sommer, 22 October 2012). By selecting the male-female siblings from each subsequent generation that most closely matched the basenji breed standard, Margaret moved forward in her breeding program. Margaret’s visionary efforts were rewarded on 22 June 1990 when Esenjo (and all her get) was posthumously accepted into the AKC registered basenji gene pool through Elija of Esenjo, a third generation animal down from the pairing of Esenjo with Friend. Friend ex Esenjo Puppies at 9 weeks old. Taken Oct. 12, ‘83 This provided a unique, recognized bloodline for basenji breeders to preserve and to use for outcrossing. Elija of Esenjo became the breeds’ primary access for breeders who wanted to capitalize on Esenjo’s unique contribution to the gene pool. Elija was euthanized on 8 November 2010 at the age of 13 years after suffering several years

We want to bloodline into our breed. COI find as much heterozygosity at hypothesizes a probability that a given locus as possible in an the measured dog will be individual. In considering the homozygous at one locus -- that genetic health (diversity) of the sire and dam will have a the breed population, finding common ancestor that has passed contemporary dogs that carry that identical gene down through irreplaceable, underrepresented generations on both sides of the founder genes is critical.

But what is potential level of Esenjo contribution. In recent years I have seen “mathematically possible” rarely - if ever - translates into reality. lists of selected dogs whose Coefficient of Inbreeding (COI) The COI is a tool commonly used, when considering potential percentages were tabulated as a vehicle to support specific beliefs matings, as a rough measure of how many ancestors a prospective about the breed population as a whole but without presenting or sire has in common with a potential dam and the number of even perhaps knowing the underlying assumptions. These generations back in each pedigree that common ancestor (or numbers have been offered to readers who may not actually know ancestors) appears. Thus, the more generations you step back what the numbers represent. COI is simply an exercise that helps into each pedigree of that sire and dam, the higher the probability determine the odds that an individual animal will have a higher that you will encounter common ancestors in both pedigrees with probability of homozygosity at one locus based on the genes the result that the COI will increase.

It is simply a The COI model assumes that each generation is a product computer generated mathematical algorithm or of random breeding.

Of course, neither of these numbers is realistic in dog ancestor in his sire and dam lines.

Ryan (Am. Ch. Morshor Hurricane Ryan)

During the decade between 1980 and 1990, there were some Basenjis imported to Brazil but there were not any that became noteworthy or special in the dog world, until a Basenji by the name of Ryan (Am Ch. Morshor’s Hurricane Ryan).

Ryan was a son of one of the biggest winning Basenjis in the US, Multi BIS Ch. Calaz Executive Embasi. Ryan was imported by Mr. Carlos Pedroso, Treis Pinheiros fame. Carlos is one of the most successful Dachshund breeders in Brazil. Ryan was handled by Milton Lopes and the two took Brazil by storm.In his amazing show career, Ryan was awarded eight (8) Best in Show wins,becoming the top winning Basenji in Brazil’s history. Ryan’s 8th and final Best in Show was in 2001.

Bupe at 45 days of age

In 2009, a Basenji by the name of Bupe (Bupe Itapuca) was born at our kennel and though we didn’t know it then, Bupe proved quickly just how special he was. At just four (4) months

In July 2010, we traveled to the largest show in Argentina, Copa Confraternid, where more than 1,500 dogs were entered. Bupe was awarded, in Junior Class, three (3) Group 1s and also a Reserve Best in Show, in the Junior Class. In addition, she won in the Adult Class (one (1) Bupe showing her movement in the ring Group). Bupe finished 2010 as the #2 Junior of all breeds in Brazil. In the beginning of 2011, Bupe had her first litter and was only shown at the end of that year in three shows. At that first show, Bupe was awarded her 6th Best in Show at the 26th International Show of the Kennel Club of San Paulo, under Judge, Mrs. Barbara Alderman. Kennel Club of San Paulo is the largest

Near the end of 2011, November, we traveled to Peru for the Incas Dog Show, the largest show in Peru and Bupe completed her Peruvian Championship and then on to a Group One under Judge, Mrs. Orieta Zilli (Italy). In 2012, Bupe was shown selectively and was awarded three (3) more Best in Shows for a total of nine (9) Best in Shows to break the record from eleven years earlier. Bupe became the top winning Basenji in Brazilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history.

We are so proud of Bupe and her record in the breed. It has been an amazing ride and we could not be happier! Special thanks to our handler, Claudio Cruz who has made this all possible!

ESENJO - Preserving Her Unique Contribution result of random mating patterns, and that no mutations occur. These assumptions are incorrect. COI does not consider the inter-relationship of founders and their individual levels of homozygosity. It assumes that the unknown native sire and unknown native dam are unrelated consequently giving the foundation animal a zero coefficient of inbreeding (all heterozygous) which is incorrect because some level of interbreeding between relatives occurs in native villages and some of the foundation dogs are very closely related. COI’s are not breed specific, they cannot account for the history of each breed. Running a COI using CompuPed®, Elija of Esenjo’s 10-generation COI is 38.90%, but taking the analysis only back as far as the most recent founder, Elija of Esenjo’s 3-generation COI = 37.5%. In other words, with a COI of 37.5 % there is a one in 2.67 chance that Elija is homozygous at one locus (received the same gene from both sire and dam). Conversely, with that level of concentration it is clear that the diversity contributed by Esenjo is being depleted rather rapidly from generation to generation and many of the unique alleles that had been contributed by Esenjo would have been lost by Elija’s generation.

conclusions are drawn rashly. COI is calculated on the pedigree of an individual. It is really most appropriately used to predict COI that would result from the pairing of a sire and dam, in combination with other selection tools, to compare outcomes for prospective mating options For those who choose to loosely adapt COI to obtain an estimate of the genetic diversity of a population, you must ensure that: 1) The pedigree you select is representative of the entire interbreeding population. 2) No selection has taken place. 3) The same source population (ancestor pool) applies for each individual in the population, and 4) The population is not divided into different quasiisolated subpopulations.

The biggest problem with using COI to project some breed-population estimate is that dog breeds are rarely a uniform randomly interbreeding population. Instead, they are almost always divided geographically -- as an example, the entire inter-breeding subpopulation in Australia versus the entire inter-breeding subpopulation in the USA -- and As molecular epidemiology techniques improve by leaps and among different breeding lines. Analyzing subdivided populations is different than dealing bounds, new tools become available that take the speculation with a single breeding pool. out of genotyping and allow us to discover novel haplotypes Even with all these fancy numbers and in the AKC registered population that have been retained computations, we still cannot state unequivocally what unique genes may exist in the contemporary from the ancestral source population. registered basenji gene pool as contributed by Esenjo. How do we find unique genes in order to Pedigree® (Chuck Orange Software) calculated the capitalize on them and preserve them in our breed’s gene pool to inbreeding coefficient for Elija of Esenjo as 456.8290% based on maintain genetic diversity for the future?

This clearly reveals a serious problem in using epidemiology techniques improve by leaps and bounds, new tools COI for a landrace breed where founders are shallow in the become available that take the speculation out of genotyping and pedigree. Ideally we need to look at the COI of Elija based on allow us to discover novel haplotypes in the AKC registered three generations from the matrilineal side back to Esenjo and population that have been retained from the ancestral source nine generations on the patrilineal side back to Fula -- the most population. This information is critical for knowing what to recent founder in Friend’s pedigree. Unfortunately, these preserve. computer programs are not built to analyze pedigrees of differing So Margaret Sommer and I proceeded to hunt for individuals depths to founders. So I was forced to either consider a shallow that potentially maintain a high admixture of Esenjo line. Having COI for three generations on both sides or select a number that found individuals that are two full-sib generations down from would assume every generation after Esenjo on the maternal side Esenjo on the sires’ side and three full-sib generations down on was a COI of zero. Wherever there are foundation animals in an the dams’ side (the last remaining animals that have no outcross ancestry, the pedigree analysis software “assumes” each in their lineage), we are now working with a research laboratory generation behind that animal is also a unique founder with which has agreed to evaluate the dogs at the genetic level to complete heterozygosity thereby distorting the readings and determine their specific chromosomal haplotypes. We will either rendering a COI virtually useless. At the three generation COI, do the whole genome sequence in order to compare with the the pedigree analysis programs assume four unique alleles per basenjis chromosomal breed signature or to analyze only 170,000 locus from both Friend and Esenjo, thus giving Elija of Esenjo a markers SNIP array in the hope that we can actually identify 3-generation COI of 37.5%. This basic assumption is incorrect unique haplotypes contributed to the registered basenji gene pool because we know that Friend was line-bred and would have been through Esenjo. In this way we can offer basenji breeders the homozygous at many loci. That is a huge problem when option to equalize representation of founders by breeding for calculating COI’s for landrace breeds. unique haplotypes where breeders choose to carry on the Esenjo In my opinion, when trying to predict levels of gene diversity line. These are exciting times where we can do proper population for our AKC registered basenji population, estimated probable studies of genetic diversity at the molecular level by looking at COI percentages are tossed around somewhat irresponsibly and the actual DNA. The Modern Basenji - Worldwide - www.modernbasenji.com | 10

….up close and personal

By Wanda Pooley

CHRONOLOGY: 1956 – age 12 - gazed upon the silver screen as Skeeter and the exotic “Lady” scampered through the Mississippi swamps. 1982 – age – Older. Spied a small hand-written index card on the company FOR SALE OR TRADE bulletin board announcing -“FOR SALE - (5) 8-week old basenji puppies $60 ea. See Scott in the Test Lab.”

stood in front of the board, staring at the card for several minutes. Could it be? After all these years, a basenji puppy was within my grasp?? Mind you, I had never seen one, except in the movie, had no idea what they were like. But really, it’s just another kind of dog, isn’t it? My whole life had been in the company of a number of “over-thefence-by-midnight” canines, and an occasionally purebred, so clearly I wasn’t lacking in doggie smarts. This was a FIND! Off I trotted to the test laboratory. Scott was huddled over several intricately machined parts, deep in concentration, as I approached from behind. “Scott,” I blurted, “Tell me about your puppies?” Scott sat back in his chair and gazed at me for several

long seconds, as if to mentally collect himself. “Well,” he said, “Basenjis are real interesting dogs. Have you ever seen one?” “No,” I admitted. For the next several minutes Scott and I talked about basenjis; him telling me they didn’t bark and didn’t have body odor and were really cute; me nodding and smiling and making all the appropriate sounds. We decided to meet at Scott’s house after work so I could see the little darlings. Knowing this quick stop would make me late getting home, I thought it would be prudent to dash up to the Hydro Engineering department where my husband worked and ask him to give our two dogs, the mixed-breed poodle and a Spitz, their supper and to start feeding the horses when he got home. “A what?” Mac exclaimed. “A basenji,” I said, “You know, the dog that doesn’t bark.” He peered at me over his glasses, “We already have two dogs, you know.” “I know. I’m just going to look, for Pete’s sake. Kind of like an educational trip.” I reassured him. At 4:12 p.m. when the quitting bell sounded, I was off to Scott’s house, just a few blocks away from the shop. Nothing could have prepared me for what happened next. Scott’s wife let me in, saying her husband was outside with the puppies and would be right in. I sat down to wait, tingling with excitement and expecting to see some cute, clumsy puppies waddle in, maybe lick at my hands and face. Continued on 14

What really happened: Five whirling dervishes exploded through the doorway, leaped across the couch, spun around the hassock, and then collectively swung to a stop to stare at The Intruder. Five piercing pairs of eyes took in my presence and in a combined burst of energy jumped onto my chair, knocking me against the back. Noses poked in my ears and eyes, one puppy grabbed at my hair, another tugged at my sleeve. My purse tumbled to the floor as two more pulled on the strap. “What ARE you?” I shrieked with glee. “Tasmanian devils?”

During the day, that niggling thought about getting a crate returned. I half-heartedly called a pet store and inquired about crates. “Hello,” I said to the clerk, “I’m calling about a crate for a dog that will be about 16 inches when it matures. What do you have?” The clerk went on to describe the merits of different crates -- plastic versus wire -- and suggested I would need something at least 30” long and maybe 24” high. “Okay, how much,” I asked. “WHAT..….$49.95!!!” I hung up and played the “Price is Right” game the rest of day. Call after call yielded only a savings of few dollars and that was if I drove to a store across town. I shrugged and told myself, “Well, I probably really don’t need a crate anyway,” and decided to just forget the whole thing.

Quickly losing interest in the newcomer, they rushed off to explore any possible changes in the house that might have happened while they were cooped up all day. They discovered a case of empty pop bottles and proceeded to pull out the bottles Late that afternoon, knowing my son was now home from and up-end them, draining school, I called and asked, “Hi any last drops of soda that Justin. How’s Angie doing?” might be lingering in the Her little curled tail twitched with delight. bottoms. That done, the “Mom,” he said in a small Beyond her lay mass destruction! group moved on to the worried voice, “I can’t get the wastebasket. One swift bathroom door open.” bump, and it toppled over. Scott and his wife rushed to catch the spilling contents from the “What do you mean, ‘You can’t get the bathroom door basket and frankly, without my help, I believe that battle would open?’” I quizzed. “Is it stuck or something?’ have been lost. It seemed as though whatever we grabbed was trumped by little mouths pulling it away faster than we could “No, it just won’t open, honest.” Justin pleaded, “You had grasp. better come home. I think the puppy is hurt.” Our intervention really didn’t deter this little band of marauders as they continued on, sniffing, poking, and tugging until they were satisfied the kitchen was fully under their control. I could only stand back and watch in total amazement. Never had I seen such a display of canine creativity by such a juvenile gang. What happened to puppyhood? These four-legged kids made the Little Rascals (maybe before your time) look like amateurs.

“I’ll take one!” I exclaimed.

The lovely little creature was named “Angie,” a pretty tri-colored girl. On the drive home, I thought of ways to explain to my husband why we needed a third dog. The only thing that niggled in my head was that Scott kept mentioning something about buying a cage for the puppy. In all my years of owning dogs, I had never even remotely considered putting one in a crate. I couldn’t imagine why I should start now so I shrugged off Scott’s advice. Angie spent the first hour or so huddled behind a large stereo speaker. Guess this was just too much for her, what with being separated from her brothers and sisters, but she was soooo sweet with those adorable little wrinkles on her head as she peered out with grave concern! She finally ventured out and promptly fell asleep in my lap as I watched TV. “What a little sweetheart,” I cooed to my husband, “Why, she’s going to be no problem at all.” The next morning was a work day. Hmmm, what to do with Angie while we’re gone. I inspected the bathroom and declared it a safe place for Angie to stay during the day. Setting down a water dish, some kibble in a bowl, and nice little blanket, I felt that, yes, this was indeed a good spot. Angie watched us as we closed the door and went to work.

I made the 12-mile trip home in record time, screeched the car to a stop in the drive, burst into the house, and rushed to the bathroom door with my son tagging on my heels exclaiming “She’s alive! I can hear her!” Pushing a bit on the door brought no result so I really put my shoulder in to it. Groaning under the pressure of my body, the door began to move slightly, ever so slightly. A two-inch gap finally gave me a little visibility. I peered through the opening and could see my darling little 8-week old puppy staring up at me, ears perked, wrinkles profuse, and a joyous look in her eyes. Her little curled tail twitched with delight. Beyond her lay mass destruction! The floor was white with shredded toilet paper. The contents of the clothes hamper that was blocking the door were strewn everywhere; all the towels were pulled down and had a wellnested look to them. The combined height created by the towels and dirty laundry from the hamper gave Angie easy access to the toilet seat. From there she went on to bigger and better things. Somehow this little puppy had managed to get the medicine chest door open and had spilled everything to the sink below. The toothpaste tube had many small teeth marks. Over the toilet leaned the remnants of one of those springy cabinet things that give you a bit more storage space. Its flimsy door was pushed in and the compartment was devoid of its perfumes, makeup, hairbrushes, etc. Those all lay on the floor in a pitiful array of destruction. Of course, everything was christened with puppy pee and poop. Easily two loads of laundry stretched before me that night. After reassuring myself and Justin that the puppy was just fine and happy to see us home, I closed the bathroom door. Marching

to the kitchen, I pulled out the phone book and frantically thumbed through the yellow pages. One ring, two rings, at last on the third ring a voice from heaven answered, “Hello, Hemmy’s Pet Store. How may I help you?” “Do you have a wire crate approximately 30” long and 24” high?” I asked. “Let me check.” the clerk replied. The sound of footsteps receding. I tried hard not to hold my breath. The sound of footsteps returning. “Yes,” the clerk said when she came back, “I have just one left.”

“Good! I’ll be right there. Don’t sell it to anyone!,” I ordered.

Walking into Hemmy’s I announced that I was the woman who had just called about the wire crate. The clerk pulled the box down off the shelf and in procession we strode to the check-out counter. I pulled out my check book and began writing as the clerk rang up the total. “That will be $57.52 with tax, please,” the clerk told me, “You know, it’s funny. Just after you called, another woman came in the store wanting a crate just this size. She was pretty upset when I wouldn’t sell it to her.” I looked up at the clerk, certain that sheer craziness glistened in my eyes. “You have no idea what would have happened had that crate not been here when I arrived,” I spewed, signing my name with a flourish on the check. Then I took a deep breath, collected my wits and started telling the woman about Angie’s exploits. We both had a good laugh, and I drove away, a calm starting to flow through my body. The mess really wasn’t that bad to clean up, and thankfully, Angie was none the worse for wear for her day’s experience. I put the crate together and put the puppy inside. Standing back to view this scene, I felt extreme relief, and realized that I had crossed over into a new realm of the canine world. Here was a breed that was definitely “a cut above” your average dog. Only 24 hours had passed since my introduction to basenjis, and I already recognized that I needed to get up to speed and fast! One month later I went back out to the Test Lab to visit with Scott and show him some pictures of our little bouncy, lively basenji girl. He admired the photos and then thoughtfully said, “You know, if you are interested, I still one female left. I’d let you have her for only $40.” “Oh Scott,” I exclaimed, rolling my eyes. “I can’t imagine having two basenjis!” “Why, Wanda, I even know someone who owns four basenjis!” Scott revealed, stunning me even more. “Get out!” I squealed! Well, the rest is history. Oh and yes, I did buy that littermate for a whopping $40. We named her Nicole. What a pair!m The Modern Basenji - Worldwide - www.modernbasenji.com | 15

ometimes I wonder if I belong in the Guinness Book of Records. During the thirty-seven years between 1940 and 1977, for instance, I had fifty-nine changes of address. The fifty-ninth was on the island of Sumatra, and it was not the last. Home for me was in Africa during the first twenty-eight years of my marriage, since my husband was a descriptive linguist bent on reducing as possible of the unwritten languages on that continent to writing, speaking, and reading. We returned to the States every three years for a year of furlough.

When we walked the dogs everyone who saw them was intrigued by the shiny, jet black coats, white paws that made them appear to be wearing mittens, the curled tails with white tips, wrinkled foreheads, and the fact that they didn’t bark.

Another Shot For The Old MAN!

During the first weeks of our return we most often resided with his mother. I called her Mom, she called her son Wesley, and I called him Wes. I now marvel at the way she adjusted her life to accommodate us as a family, and our baggage, for we increased over time. First, we grew to a family of four with two sons born in Liberia, West Africa. Though blue-eyed and fair headed, their mid-names were Kezele and Kumbe, for we decided it would be easier for their African playmates to deal with names in their own language. Two grandsons with names like that in the States was odd but, despite the lengthy explanations when they were introduced, Wes and I chose to call them by those names. The addition I brought home in 1958, on the other hand, may have staggered Mom, but she never showed it. Long before that date, the family knew I loved animals and, after being resident in Africa, they knew that I collected them. There had been a rare golden cat, then a clawless otter sent to the Smithsonian Zoological Gardens in Washington, D. C. Since Wes’ family lived in Maryland and Washington, they had seen my name on a plaque above the display case for the otter. Wes’ brother was the one to blame, or thank, for introducing me to the basenji dog. One furlough he asked if we had them in our villages in West (L-R) Kezele holding Kogi, Roslyn holding Africa. He brought Miliku, and Wesley Sadler me an article and pictures (there had been a movie with a basenji in it) and I said, “By gum, they are the hunting dogs of our neighbors! But they are not just red and white—gold would be a better word than red—there

are black and whites also.” The article showed only the reds and tricolors. So, no one should have been surprised when we turned up in the spring of 1958 with our two sons, Kezele and Kumbe, and four black and white basenjis named Biiyai, Miliku, Teyku, and Kawolay Simondikai.

had not been seen, though black is the dominant color. Because black is dominant, the owners in the States would need to

So it was we gave him the name Kawolay Simondikai, meaning Old Man Star in the Loma language. Before long we began calling him Old Man, since the African name was too large a mouthful for many people. Before leaving Africa, I had arranged by correspondence with the Zoological Gardens to have the dogs on exhibit at the zoo until we could rent our own place. Since I was known by then as a contributor of rare animals, all appeared settled until the zoo’s board, or similar group, met and decided, since the dogs were not an outright contribution but just a loan from an individual, they could not accept them. I received that decision just prior to departure for the States. Thus it was that we arrived on Mom’s doorstep with four dogs, plus bag and baggage in the spring of ’58. Fortunately, that place was a house, it had a basement and fenced back yard, and we were able to settle into life in Mom’s home once more. When we walked the dogs everyone who saw them was intrigued by the shiny, jet black coats, white paws that made them appear to be wearing mittens, the curled tails with white tips, wrinkled foreheads, and the fact that they didn’t bark. Though, when in the basement too long they raised a yodeling oohing-oohing-oohing. They also accompanied music on the radio or television the same way. Cousins and uncles commented on the fact that the short coats, conformation and agility reminded them of miniature racehorses. They were right. Miliku, the mother, her male and female pups named Biiyai and Tehku, plus Kawolay Simondikai, the youngest unrelated male, were sleek and beautiful as they romped together in the back yard or while we walked them on leash.

Biiyai

Word of the dogs spread beyond the family. One breeder of basenjis asked if she could have pictures of them. I agreed and a professional photographer was sent and their portraits were taken. I was beginning to recognize the treasure I had brought home when I started to receive letters inquiring about them from other breeders across the country who had seen the pictures. My dogs were starting to cause a stir, for live black basenjis

breed with black to have black puppies in a litter. I found myself learning facets of the dog breeding business. I laughed when I said to Wes and my sons, “Goodnight, Miliku and Kawolay Simondikai cost me two five-pound empty tins of powdered milk. We could make a fortune if they weren’t my pets.” When I received letters inquiring if I planned to sell them, my reaction was adamant, no, not my pets. But I began to see dollar signs. Maybe, when Biiyai and Kawolay were old enough, they could sire some black pups for a fee. Or Miliku and Kawolay, who was not her puppy, could have a litter, and then I would see about selling them. Then tragedy struck. Biiyai began to wilt. He slept, stopped eating, which for him was a sure sign that something was wrong, and I took him to the vet. I learned he had the worst kind of distemper. The lay name for it was “hardpad”. I returned home with a parcel of pills, a near empty pocketbook, and an armful of sick Biiyai. I had been able to get tetanus shots for my dogs before leaving Africa, but there had been no distemper protection available. As soon as we reached the States I had a veterinarian give the required shots, but the dogs had been offloaded from the plane, first in an African city and again in Paris so we could walk them. Somewhere between the far interior villages in the rain forest of West Africa and the vet’s office in New York City, Biiyai had caught the virus. Recovery from the illness was rare, I had been told, and even then there could be complications. But I followed the veterinarian’s instructions carefully and was delighted when Biiyai began to improve. But, just as he began to eat and show signs of complete recovery, Kawolay Simondikai, the youngest of the four and still a puppy, began to droop. He, it should be noted, was purchased to be the husband of Miliku. He was only about six weeks old when I had purchased him for the empty milk tin. His outstanding features were the mass of wrinkles across his small black forehead and a white, star shaped spot on his chest. Many wrinkles are one of the important features of basenjis, I had read, but on a puppy well equipped with them, with ears still not raised to the perked alertness of adulthood, he looked like an old man. So it was we gave him the name Kawolay Simondikai, meaning Old Man Star in the Loma language. Before long we began calling him Old Man, since the African name was too large a mouthful for many people. After Old Man Star’s visit to the vet, I was hopeful. Biiyai had recovered fully by then, with no side affects. I felt sure that

the Old Man, with careful nursing, would soon be up and running. But the pads of his feet became dry, as did his nose. He also began to vocalize his distress, not with the musical yodeling, but his oohing-oohings became distressed and were rising to a keening. Mom had turned her calendar to June by then, and her house full of Africans were preparing to move. We were going north to spend the rest of the summer at my family’s home on Martha’s Vineyard. Arrangements had been made for Wes to attend a conference at Wagner College in New York state on our way north. There would be accommodations for the family. We had not included the dogs during correspondence concerning that matter. Our dogs were housebroken, they were odorless like all basenjis, they did not bark, and their coats were so short fleas could not keep a foothold, so we saw no problem with having them along. But a puppy in advance stages of hardpad distemper, who voiced his distress more frequently and loudly would be traveling north with us in our car. He not only caused our compassion to be strained to the point of tears from me, but a yearning by all to do something for him before we left. How much more distressful the journey would be for him and what to do about it needed an answer. The veterinarian had two. His first was to have the Old Man put to sleep. I still hoped for a miracle recovery. In that case, he advised that we buy a bottle of whiskey and give the Old Man a tablespoonful when he oohed-oohed. I returned home with the news of how to relieve Old Man’s suffering. I asked Wes to buy the bottle of whiskey. That, for him was something new. Not only was he a linguist, but also an ordained minister and not familiar with what was expected of him. But his compassion took over and off he went, soon returning with the required bottle (imagine going into a liquor store and saying you needed a bottle of whisky for your dog?). The vet was right. The Old Man accepted the dose and slept peacefully. During our journey north the Old Man was non-vocal, thanks to the bottle in his blanket. By the time we reached Wagner College it was dark and we needed our headlights to scout the campus while seeking the building marked for us on a map. When it was finally spotted, there were lights inside but no sign of activity. I sighed with relief, for during the trip I began to wonder if we might have to keep the dogs in the car if there should be objections to their presence in the building, especially one as ill as Old Man. He was sleeping quietly, thank goodness. When Wes returned from his scouting trip to report that we had been assigned two bedrooms on the second floor with bath between, again I sighed with relief. He also reported that there was a back staircase two or three doors from ours. He had returned that way. He then announced he had said nothing about our dogs. I then suggested it would be best to carry them in one by one, each wrapped in a blanket, and then the baggage. The Old Man would be the last, one of us staying with him, ”And,” I said, “for heaven’s sake, don’t drop the bottle. Remember this is a church affiliated college.” Then began the trek between car and rooms. We met no one on the stairs or in the hall to question the squirming bundles being carried. And the Old Man was finally settled on his blanket in the bathroom, bottle handy. In the meantime, Old Man’s nose and paw pads had become

as hard as coal. My hope for a miracle cure waned as his coat lost its glow, his puppy fat disappeared, and his wrinkles became more prominent. He was able to swallow water and milk spooned into the pocket of his cheek while I cradled his head in my hand. One of us stayed with him most of the day, timing the whisky dosage so that he could sleep when we went to meals. The third and last day of the conference was a beautifully clear, perfect summer day. After lunch, the conferees moved outside and every chair on the terrace below was taken. The windows were wide open. Some people were writing or reading, some sitting on the stonework balustrade edging the terrace. I saw a picture of peaceful enjoyment as I looked down on them. I sat down at my desk to write letters and heard their quiet voices harmonizing below. Miliku lay at my feet. Biiyai and Teyku were playing in the other room. A nap began to feel more appealing than writing letters. I was about to do something about it when Old Man began expressing his misery, his keening increasingly loud. I pushed back the chair, almost knocking it over. “Hey, Mom,” Kezele called loudly through the adjoining bath from the other bedroom, “Time to give the Old Man another shot of whisky!” When Wes returned shortly after that, Kumbe said, “You should have seen the people looking up.” Kezele interrupted, his eyes laughing, “Did they start sniffing when you walked by just now?” We laughed, but that night I wept. Kawolay Simondikai’s grave lies under an oak tree on the campus of Wagner College. Teyku also succumbed to the virus. Later that summer Wes, our two surviving basenjis and I were waiting for the ferry from Woods Hole to dock at the Vineyard Haven pier. We were waiting because some people had contacted us to see the dogs. We stood on high ground away from the waiting people, Miliku and Biiyai on leash beside me, for my dogs had attracted so much attention they needed calming. Passengers were leaning on the rail as ropes were thrown to anchor the ferry to the pier. I was looking at the passengers when suddenly one of them pointed at us and we heard over the crowd, “They are basenjis…black…black and white basenjis!” From off the gangplank two women hurried to meet us. Words, questions and petting the pair followed. They had received the pictures of the four dogs and asked about them. I told them distemper had taken two. Talk did not end at the dock. As per our plan, Wes became the tour guide as we drove around the island. Together in the car they learned that my dogs were pure bred, isolated from the outside world by the St. Paul River that divided Liberia, Loma Roslyn Sadler and son, Kumbe, with Kogi and country and our home on one side Miliku in Liberia, 1959.

and Monrovia and the motor roads on the other. A bridge across the wide St. Paul had yet not been built. The black, red, and tri dogs seen in the many Loma and Kpelle villages on the north side of the river were the only dogs I had seen. After our guests left, Wes said, “All you did was talk dog all the time!” The two women were owners of a kennel and bred basenjis, and before they left on the ferry they had asked if I would sell my pair. “Oh no, I can’t, they are my pets,” was my startled reply. The following evening my aunt handed me the phone, saying, “It’s for you.” The call was from one of the women, saying she and the other woman had not been able to sleep after seeing my dogs. They knew I was returning to Africa where my dogs had come from, and they might even go to Liberia themselves, they were so taken by my black basenjis. But they also offered to buy my dogs for five hundred dollars each. I was awe struck, for that was a lot of money for my pets. I turned to Wes asking what to do. He took the phone and when he hung up suggested I go by bus to visit them at their kennels. If I felt my pair would belong among their basenjis, I could sell them. The upshot was that I sold Miliku and Biiyai to the two women breeders. I don’t remember their names, but their kennel and basenjis were located in western Massachusetts. At the end of our furlough, we left for a new assignment in Africa in what was then called Northern Rhodesia but is now known as Zambia. Our journey took us through Liberia where, based on the enthusiasm I had received in the States for the black

If a puppy is too weak to nurse or the mother will not care for her litter, the breeder may need to tube feed the young. The necessary equipment includes the appropriate sized soft pliable catheter (your veterinarian will help you get the right size), syringes to hold formula, the formula warmed in a bowl, and a marking pen. The best way to learn to tube feed is by having your veterinarian or veterinarian technician demonstrate on a puppy and then you feed the rest of the litter at the clinic under supervision. After weighing each puppy and determining the amount to feed, measure each individual puppy from the nostril to the last rib for the feeding tube. This is the length of feeding tube you will insert. Mark the tube. A tube for each puppy would be ideal. These steps should be repeated each and every day that the animals will be tube fed formula. Draw up slightly more formula into the syringe and catheter than is needed for the animal. Place the animal on a towel in your lap with the head and chest on a slight upward incline. Hold the back of the animal’s head gently. Open the animal’s mouth with that same hand. Direct the tube into the front of the animal’s mouth (NOT from the side). Do not force the tube to go in. The

basenjis, I purchased two puppies from the interior of the country where we had lived for seventeen years, and took them to our new home in Kitwe, Northern Rhodesia. I named the female Miliku, due to my memories of my first mother dog. The male was a red and named Kogi. I was carrying a black puppy while walking down the post office steps in Kitwe when I heard those words again, “It’s a basenji, a black basenji!” And Elspeth Ford took my puppy in her arms. It was 1961.

puppy will reflexively swallow when the tube is at the esophagus. If the animal does not swallow and you force the tube, it could end up in the trachea. Once the animal swallows, the tube should slide easily to the point you have marked. Once it is in the proper location, slowly depress the plunger on the syringe. The tube should be withdrawn after feeding half of the required meal and the animal should be burped. After burping, reinsert the tube and feed the rest of the meal. Burp the animal again and stimulate for urination and defecation. After the feeding, the animal’s abdomen should appear rounded and full. Before feeding the first puppy, practice drawing up water or formula and depressing the plunger. Note the force of the water or formula as it leaves the catheter. Gently depress the plunger to avoid damaging the animal’s stomach wall. It will take practice to handle the syringe, catheter, animal, and formula all at once. Do not overfeed and over-distend the abdomen. This will cause the puppy pain, causing it to struggle and cry. If the puppy coughs or gags when you start to depress the plunger, withdraw the feeding tube and start over. You may have the tube in the trachea. If you continue to inject the formula, the animal may get aspiration pneumonia or suffocate. If the puppy regurgitates or vomits the food, do not feed it again at that meal. If it occurs for 2 meals in a row, contact your veterinarian. It is preferable to feed at least 2-3 meals a day by bottle to allow the puppies to suckle. This may help decrease the amount the animals attempt to nurse on each other, which may result in skin sores. From Veterinary & Aquatic Services Department, Drs. Forster & Smith

Supreme & Neuter Champion Tamsala Mitena Magic

By Heather Budd

September 2009 the Australian National Kennel Club (ANKC) introduced the additional class of Neuter Champion across all Australian state jurisdictions. So what is it like to campaign a Neuter? I venture to say just as competitive as an intact exhibit; but heaps more fun I think. It is an honour to campaign a Neuter and there is a great deal of satisfaction in doing so. In my case both Neuter Champions I have made up have been exceptional show dogs. The male attained his Grand Championship (1000 challenge points) and the bitch her Supreme Championship (either 3 x BIS or 10 X BIG/ BISS plus at least 1000 championship points) before being de-sexed and commencing their Neuter campaign. My girl had accrued 4,700+ challenge points before she retired from competitive show campaigning at the end of 2011 at 6.5 years of age. Although not all states in Australia have fully embraced including Neuter classes in their show schedules, it is my experience that those shows where the Neuter class is offered it is well received and fiercely competitive. I am pleased to say that the majority of states throughout Australia have encouraged the Neuter title. I fully endorse those states and the clubs who recognize that this class adds value to their shows. Certainly

numbers within each breed may not be large, but at Group level it is a very rare show where there is no competition. In fact in my current Neuter’s show campaign she has always had Group level competition and for the most part at show level there are representatives from all seven Groups in the Neuter In Show line-up. Further I have found that contrary to the expectations of a few the Neuter competition has not lowered the standard of competition or the quality of exhibits. Quite the contrary; the Neuters who compete are quality exhibits who for a myriad of reasons have been de-sexed. I recall chatting to an All-Breeds judge on one of the show circuits in New South Wales (NSW) and have noted her significant change in attitude towards the Neuter class. She indicated that when the class was approved she didn’t think that it would have much merit in terms of purebred dogs or the sport of conformation showing; however having watched the class on the circuit she now saw it in a very different light. She told me that she simply didn’t realise just how popular the class was and how much this was a boon to clubs in terms of revenue raised and the number of dogs entered and, further, how strong the competition was at both ‘In Group’ & ‘In Show’ level. In my case I de-sexed my male so that he and I could

co-exist in harmony -- he was testosterone on legs for six to nine months of the year. Whilst I sought the perfect forever home for him, I entered him as a Neuter titling him easily. In fact he was such a changed boy that he truly won more consistently at Neuter level than he had as an intact male. His testosterone threw more wins than I cared to count, something Grand & Neuter Champion that never occurred Tamsala The Magician when he was de-sexed. He loved showing as a Neuter, and I loved showing him. Together finally as a cohesive team we achieved 17 Neuter In Group and 8 Neuter In Show wins from the 26 shows we entered before the perfect forever home came up. I retired him to live a life of luxury as a spoiled family pet. How many of us have had a quality bitch who for any number of reasons has been de-sexed to save her life (males too for that matter) and their loss from the show ring was truly a loss to the breed ring? Quite a number I venture to suggest. The ability to campaign a Neuter and achieve a title for this has kept many a quality dog in the show ring for judges and fellow breed enthusiasts to see, something that would not have happened in the past. For example at the recent Basenji Club of NSW Championship show the largest class in the show was Neuter bitch – a sure sign that as a class the Neuter is being embraced even at specialty level. My current Neuter is one of those rarest of girls who truly loves the show ring. As Jan will say, she and I are of a like mind – she raised her only litter well till they were four weeks old and then decided motherhood was just not for her. We kept her daughter to continue on with our breeding program; thus the ANKC announced the new Supreme Champion title to come into effect from July 2012, I decided that as she had qualified for the new title that I would obtain the final challenge necessary after July 1 for her Supreme championship and then campaign her as a Neuter. As an aside it is with pride that my girl was the only bitch in Australia eligible to attain her Supreme Championship that first show after July 1, 2012 which she did in the company of the four males Australia-wide, who were eligible – no mean feat for the breed in Australia. Even now at rising 7.5 years and being the consummate show dog, my girl just loves the show ring and makes it her own every time she steps into it. Since she has come back into the ring after her six month lay-up between the last shows in 2011 and when she returned to the ring in July 12, I can really see the change in her. The show ring for her means lots of treats and cuddles from her friends around the ring. Not only that, she loves performing. She had a fantastic career as a Junior Handlers dog; where she was worshipped by her owner Miss Jess Walker, and

she in turn would do anything for Jess. I have the pleasure of showing a princess of the breed; the show ring is her life. I had intended to retire my girl following attaining her Neuter title, but can see how much happier she is now that she is back showing in a much more relaxed vein than when she was being competitively campaigned (as not every show has a Neuter class.) This says to me that when she has had enough she will retire herself. Would I recommend showing a Neuter? Right I would! It is the perfect medium to keep quality dogs in the ring and allows judges to view the dogs who went before those being campaigned today. There is competitiveness in showing a Neuter, but it is not the win at all cost aspect that some adopt when campaigning an intact canine. I believe Neuters are, and should be, shown for the fun and for the enjoyment of the sport. Yes I will campaign more and more Neuters over the years to come, and I will enjoy doing so as I enjoy showing a Neuter now. I firmly want us all to open our hearts to this wonderful class of canines and re-kindle the pure enjoyment of showing great exhibits with the respect and reverence they deserve. Now for the boring technical bits just in case anyone wants to understand Australia’s Champion points system: The owner of a neutered dog registered with the ANKC Ltd that: (a) Wins not fewer than four Neuter Certificates/Best Neuter of Breed Certificates under not fewer than four different Judges at four different exhibitions; and (b) Gains a total of 100 points, of which twenty five (25) of these points are gained after the age of twelve (12) months; may apply for such dog to be known as a Neutered Champion. Points shall be allotted for exhibits six (6) months of age and over exhibited in a Neuter Class as follows: (a) Neuter Certificate winner – Dogs: Five (5) points plus one (1) point for each Neutered dog of the breed exhibited at the fixture. (b) Neuter Certificate winner – Bitches: Five (5) points plus one (1) point for each Neutered bitch of the breed exhibited at the fixture. (c) Best Neuter of Breed Certificate winner: Five (5) points plus one (1) point for each Neutered dog and bitch of the breed exhibited at the fixture. The points awarded under (a), (b) and (c), above shall not accumulate and shall, in no case, exceed twenty-five (25) points at any one Show. Only points accrued as a Neutered dog will be accepted towards the Neutered Champion title. A dog who has gained the title of Champion, Grand Champion & Supreme Champion prior to being entered on the ANKC Ltd Main register as Neutered, shall retain such titles in addition to Neutered Champion. These titles shall have precedence and shall appear in front of the Neutered Champion title in the dogs registered name. The title of Neutered Champion shall fulfil the Conformation Title requirements for Dual and Triple Championships.

5. WHAT ARE YOUR FUTURE PLANS WITH BASENJIS? n recent years I have been less involved in basenjis than I was previously, largely due to increasing responsibilities at the University. I seldom go to conformation shows these days, and I haven’t had much time for obedience training recently. Lure coursing has been almost my sole active contact with dog sports and basenji involvement in them. I expect this to continue until I am able to retire, since I recently became the Chair of the Philosophy Department at Washburn University. However, Vickie has continued Cynosure kennels, albeit on a less active level. We currently own a promising young bitch, GCh. Sonbar’s Vigilant Valkyre at Cynosure, bred by Sally Wuornos, and we have been having fun with her. She finished her championship easily, now has a Grand Championship, and still shows competitively. After a very long training period, Kyra finally caught fire on the lure, and in her one weekend out coursing, won the Open Class both days and was Best of Breed the second day. So I look forward to watching her run. I imagine that Vickie will breed her, but she makes most of those decisions these days; I function mostly as kennel help now.

And her disposition left a lot to be desired too. But I was dating her owner, who had bred Selkhet and raised her from a puppy, and I wanted to make a good impression on Ralph and his dog.

WESTMINSTER: A HISTORY and a LEGACY To Be Preserved By Thomas Meade II

have all heard the news of Westminster allowing class animals to compete in their events. If you would have asked most dog exhibitors four or five years ago about class animals showing in the near future at the prestigious Westminster Kennel Club, they might have called you crazy, laugh, and recommend you to see a doctor. Many people were initially surprised to hear Westminster 2013 will include class dogs, raise the entry limit of 3200 dogs (2500 in the past), and have major changes to Junior Showmanship eligibility criteria in 2013.

Westminster, which began in 1877, is a dog show rich in history and tradition. First, is showing class animals, with simply a single 3, 4, or 5-point major, worthy of Westminster? To answer this question, let’s examine the history of Westminster and recent changes in policy and show venue. Westminster, which began in 1877, is a dog show rich in history and tradition. Founded by a group of men who frequently met and traded hunting stories and the prowness of their sporting dogs, these men formed a club called The Westminster Breeding Association helped oganize the very successful ‘first’ dog show in Philadelphia, PA to celebrate the United States of America Centennial. The purpose was to enable fellow hunters to compare their hunting dogs in a surroundings off the hunting field. This event led to what today is known as The Westminster Kennel Club (WKC). The first show held under the name of Westminster Kennel Club was in 1877 in the Hippodrome at Gilmore’s Garden in New York City. In its first year, it drew an entry of 1,201 dogs. The Club initially planned a three-day event, but expanded it to a fourth day to accommodate the large public interest in the event. The proceeds from the fourth day were donated to the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA). The show included a

catalog of dogs not for sale/exhibition only, and also for dogs for sale (placement) with prices ranging from $50 to $10,000. The initial WKC show was considered to be a major success, and more shows were planned for the future. In 1884, The Westminster Kennel Club was elected by The American Kennel Club (AKC), a new organization, as its first Member Club and was the only kennel club in the AKC for two years, and was the only All-Breed member of the AKC, until the addition of The Rhode Island Kennel Club in 1897. Frankly, it’s quite amazing that their initial event in 1877 became a success during the planning stages. What is tradition at The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show? Class dogs in 2013? Yes, the initial WKC shows included class animals, but over the years this specific show has been promoted as the show of champions. Is this change in the best interest of the dog fancy? Is this change for financial gain of the WKC and AKC, or is it for the advancement of the various breeds and sport of dogs? Is this change necessary, and if so why? How simple could this be? Invite the Top 10 (5 dogs and 5 bitches), the National Specialty winners and BOS for each breed, and the current top brood bitch and stud dog in each breed eligible in 2013. This idea may sound outrageous, but I believe a system like this increases the competitiveness of the sport and promotes quality breeding programs (the initial focus of the club), rather than a dog that has been on the “shelf” for five years and was randomly selected in a lottery. I further suggest The Westminster Kennel Club eliminate the system of the top five dogs and lottery. I believe this system would increase the competitiveness of breed standards, and the individual breed winners would better showcase top dogs. What’s the possibility of The Westminster Kennel Club (formerly called The Westminster Breeding Association) moving out of New York? Why necessarily does the show have to be in New York City, NY? Let’s be honest, in NYC the entire show experience is anything but comfortable on the dogs and the exhibitors’ finances, especially the last few years with the

First, in NYC, you either have to stay in an overpriced hotel (with less than desirable unloading/loading scenarios) in the middle of Manhattan with nowhere to exercise your dogs appropriately, or you have to stay in neighboring New Jersey, and have the challenge of navigating Manhattan busy streets with your benching equipment and dog in tow. A return to the scene of their first triumphant centennial dog show has many assets that could easily accommodate the large amount of traffic and allow exhibitors and spectators more comfort and freedom when selecting hotels and caring for their dogs during the show.

nostalgia and history left in the event. This is a show that was created to exhibit America’s best breed dogs. I understand that there are many excellent class dogs currently in the ring, but that is what they are --- class dogs! Most agreeably, class animals may look amazing, and consistently win, but how many times have we seen young dogs go completely out of standard and ‘fall apart’ within two to three years. In many European dog judging venues, dogs are ineligible for Championship consideration until full maturity is reached --- which can range from two to four years of age in many cases. If we are evaluating the integrity of a breed and the quality of a breeding program, then evaluating mature dogs and bitches is the only way to make a fair assessment and award quality dogs in the show ring. I There is something to be said about tradition in the dog would have liked to see the WKC lean towards this change (completely in show world and in America.

INTERNATIONAL CANINE QUARANTINE & IMPORTATION REGULATIONS

A ‘Quick and Dirty’ Overview

hipping dogs is a stressful task in general. International shipping is the most stressful of all – for dog and owner. However, at least some of the stress and risk can be minimized by a thorough knowledge of shipping rules and regulations. International regulations concerning the importation of dogs from one country to another change fairly frequently… which leads me to Rule #1 regarding this process (regardless of the country of export, or import): When shipping a dog to another country, contact that country’s consulate or embassy in your own (or the dog’s, if different) country of residence for the most up-to-date requirements concerning importation. With the exception of the 27 European Union nations, which now have common regulations (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, the Republic of Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom) each sovereign nation adopts and administers its own rules regarding the importation of dogs - and some are far more strict that others. Greater standardization of these requirements is something we can hope for in the future, but for the time being, careful attention to the requirements of each country is required in order to minimize the need for quarantine, the length of quarantine, unnecessary revaccination, and unnecessary stress. In general terms, almost all countries require health certificates and proof of vaccination for rabies and other communicable diseases in order to import dogs within their borders. The following is a ‘quick and dirty’ run-down of requirements for some popular international destinations, as of the date of this publication. Remember Rule #1, however - always check with the appropriate consulate or embassy (as well as your airline of choice) when making shipping arrangements!

AUSTRALIA: Quarantine is required for imported dogs, with

length of quarantine varying with the country of export. The minimum number of quarantine days is 30, with the only exception being animals imported from the Cocos Island, New Zealand or Norfolk Island. The Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS) maintains three quarantine facilities, located in Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth. As of March 2012, all dogs arriving in Australia from the mainland United States must be vaccinated for kennel cough, in addition to other requirements.

BRAZIL: There are no quarantine requirements in Brazil.

Dogs may enter the country upon presentation of an International animal health certificate (in the U.S., APHIS form 7001), issued in the country of origin. A certificate verifying rabies vaccination is also required.

CANADA: Canada allows the importation of dogs from any

country without quarantine, but there may be different requirements for dogs exported from countries that are not rabies-free, as determined by Canadian law. Dogs must be accompanied by a rabies certificate issued by a licensed veterinarian in either French or English, that clearly identifies the animal (by breed, weight, color, etc.). Canadian customs authorities do not require a recently issued health certificate for importation, but if the dog is being imported into Canada by air, the airline will probably require a current general health certificate.

CHINA: Travelers to China may bring only one dog with

them to Mainland China. Dogs from non-rabies free countries will be quarantined for a minimum of thirty days, while those from rabies free countries may be quarantined for as little as one week.

EUROPEAN UNION: The 27 member countries of the

European Union no longer require (as of January 1, 2012) rabies titers for entry into EU countries from the United States. Dogs must be identified by a microchip that is compatible with the ISO standard 11784 or 11785, or an appropriate microchip reader must accompany the dog in

The Modern Basenji - Worldwide - www.modernbasenji.com | 38

order to read its chip. Documentation must establish that the chip was implanted prior to rabies vaccination. Twenty-one days must elapse after the first rabies vaccination (and after implantation of the chip) before the dog can enter an EU country. As of January 2012, the EU established new health certificate forms for all dogs entering the EU. These forms are available at: http://www.aphis.usda.gov/regulations/vs/ iregs/animals/downloads/ee_non_com_pets.pdf.

HONG KONG: Quarantine is variable –from zero to six

months, depending upon the dog’s vaccination history. There are different regulations for pets exported from Category I, II, or III countries. Importation also requires a special permit from the Hong Kong Agricultural, Fisheries and Conservation Department, which may take five or more working days to process from the date of receipt of the permit fee. Owners may appoint a person in Hong Kong to apply for the permit on their behalf to speed the process.

INDIA: India does not require quarantine for imported dogs,

but there are stringent health certification requirements that must be met. At present, a health certificate from a licensed veterinary office authorized to issue the certificate by the government of the country of export must certify that the dog is free from distemper, rabies, leishmaniasis and leptospirosis. Dogs imported from countries that are not rabies-free must provide proof of rabies vaccination more than one month, but within 12 months prior to importation. Additional rabies vaccination requirements (regarding type of vaccine, potency, etc) also apply.

JAPAN: With the exception of imports from Taiwan, Iceland, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Hawaii and Guam (rabies-free countries pursuant to Japanese law) all dogs imported into Japan must undergo quarantine to screen out rabies and leptospirosis. All quarantine requirements must be fulfilled at Animal Quarantine Service facilities, located at ports of entry. Owners/shippers wishing to import to Japan must submit an advance notification of the planned arrival date, and additional information that may be required by the division of the Animal Quarantine Service that serves the intended port of arrival. This request must be received at least 40 days prior to importation. It is possible that owners may receive a request to change the port of arrival if quarantine facilities for that port are at or near capacity. For animals with a health certificate from their country of export containing (a) a microchip number, (b) dates of rabies vaccinations and rabies antibody levels, as well as (c) a statement that the dog was not shipped prior to 180 days after appropriate vaccinations in the country of export, quarantine may last as little as 12 hours. Otherwise, quarantine may last up to 180 days.

MEXICO: Mexico does not require quarantine for the

importation of dogs. However, current requirements include a health certificate from a veterinarian approved by the country of origin, proof of vaccination for rabies and distemper at least 15 days prior to entering Mexico, and a general certification that the dog is free from contagious diseases.

PHILIPPINES: The Philippines does not require quarantine

for dogs, but an import permit issued prior to departure from the country of export must be obtained from the Bureau of Animal Industry, Department of Agriculture, in Quezon City, Philippines.

SWITZERLAND: Switzerland does not require quarantine for

dogs. However, all dogs imported into Switzerland must be vaccinated for rabies at least 21 days before importation using an inactive vaccine with an efficacy that meets the current World Health Organization standard. If a dog has been vaccinated for rabies several times in its life, the waiting period of 21 days does not apply if a booster was administered within the period recommended by the vaccine manufacturer.

UNITED STATES (mainland): The U.S. does not require

quarantine for dogs, and does not require general health certificates for dogs entering the U.S. However, individual States and many airlines require health certificates. All dogs imported to the U.S. that are old enough to be vaccinated for rabies (3 months of age) must have certification of vaccination for rabies at least 30 days before entering the U.S. Dogs that do not have proof of rabies vaccination or that are too young to be vaccinated may still be admitted if the owner completes a confinement agreement and confines the dog until a rabies vaccination is deemed effective (the vaccine is not considered effective until 30 days after the date of vaccination).

UNITED STATES (Hawaii): Dogs from non-rabies free

countries that meet certain requirements may qualify for a very short (5 days or less) quarantine program. Dogs that are not eligible for the expedited process may be quarantined for up to 120 days. At the end of the day, there’s no such thing as being “overly prepared” when shipping a dog internationally. The biggest fears of any breeder shipping internationally are that an animal may face an extended – but avoidable – quarantine, or worst of all, be turned away by customs officials because paperwork is not in order. If there was ever a case where the Girl Scout motto “Be Prepared” applies – it is international shipping. But simply by doing homework ahead of time, contacting the appropriate consulate or embassy, and meticulously complying with all current regulations in the country of importation, any dog can be a happy international traveler! Until we meet again in 2013 ~ enjoy our wonderful breed, be kind to your fellow fanciers, world-wide, and -- of course, B-legal!

Our African Safari tent was welcoming. The potluck food was amazing. The Lobo sisters, who are wonderful hostesses, took charge of the potluck. Two photographers were assigned for the specialty. Thank you, Linda Bedard for overseeing the action inside the ring, and Daniele Beaulieu for capturing precious moments outside the ring. Thank you Valery Lombardi for sharing your snapshots. All the photos of the event are available at no charge on our page on Facebook. Thank you, Cyndi Teather of Algonquin Sewing Center in Petawawa, Ontario for the animal print dog beds. The presentation on Sat night was excellent. Father Titus was impressed and honoured with how much interest there is in the

basenji dog. He talked about the African Congo culture and the true origin of the word basenji. He also shared news that the basenji is disappearing in the Congo because of the high risk of rabies, and because some tribes are eating dogs as a meat source. Father Titus brought amazing wood sculptures that were available for sale with the proceeds going to an orphanage in Kinsasha. Karen Parmer Hutchinson, Karnak Basenjis, paid $200 for one of the ebony sculptures. We have more sculptures for sale. I will take pictures and advertise them. Cheryl and Wynn Egerton donated a hunting bell that sold for $100 to Karen Terry of Pennsylvania, USA. They donated many other interesting items. The food on Saturday night was very tasty. A good time was had by all!. On Sunday we held a meeting after the all- breed show basenji class so everyone could share their thoughts about the event. I think we are all looking forward to the next Regional, same place, same time. Everybody made new friends. Thank you for your support.
