Training Classes -- Weighing the Value

olunteer training instructors give up their own precious time to help others teach their dogs to excel. The commitment and devotion these people share with those who want to have well-trained dogs is unquestionable. The current performance training models used by those instructors hold some distinct differences compared to the manner in which many conformation instructors continue manage their classes. Good performance instructors know that for a dog to be successful at his job, he must be taught complex commands (the blending of two or more instructions) in separate steps. For example, in teaching the Recall the dog must know how to sit in the heel position, to stay while the handler leaves, to come when called, to sit in front of the handler, and to “finish” by returning to the heel position and sit -- either by going around the handler’s back to the heel position on the left or to make a small circle on the handler’s left to get back to the heel position. Each behavior is taught separately and then “chained“ together in order for the dog to execute all these instructions in one smooth action.

The conformation training venue, however, has remained mostly unchanged over the years as the majority of instructors still run their class sessions as if they are holding mini-dog shows. Rather than break down the process into steps, these instructors attempt to train the whole process in one fell swoop. The owners are asked to teach their dogs to move on a lead at a controlled pace, travel in a straight line, maneuver a circle, hold the “stacked” position on the floor and on the exam table, be approached by a stranger, work without fuss in a class different breeds, and even master walking into a free stack in the center of the ring. All of these steps to accomplish one feat and without individual preparation!

giving him fair warning. The table exam should be one gentle, assured movement. It should not be regarded as an intervention to desensitize the puppy. All that extra time the instructor spends going over the puppy only gives that fellow plenty of time to grow anxious and to ponder ways to escape this process the next time. Training should build the puppy’s confidence, not offer him unnecessary time to consider a means of avoidance.

This must be overwhelming for young dogs, especially puppies. Asking a basenji puppy to accomplish so much in a short time period with little groundwork is courting disaster. Do these instructors think by having owners attend several weekly repetitive classes that the puppy will eventually “get it” simply by doing the complete sequence of steps of a show ring pattern over and over? I am confident that conformation instructors understand ring procedure; I am not so sure most understand the importance of dividing the training into a series of instructions that the youngster (and even its owner) can manage.

One pet peeve about instructors and the exam table: I recently had an instructor approach my puppy using giggly baby-talk. This completely destroyed my effort to properly present the puppy because her tone sent a clear signal to the dog that standing still was optional. The instructor then went to go over my puppy using exaggerated hand movements, uncurling her tail, and then hovering over the pup while she chattered to me. Unfortunately, a technique like this will not prepare any dog for the real world of showing because no AKC judge is going to approach and exam a dog in this manner.

Moreover, while these instructors are familiar with their own breed, they may lack the knowledge for correctly presenting another breed. There is no One-Size-Fits-All method. Many breeds learn and absorb training differently. Take the basenji -- a primitive breed. For dogs with primitive origins, an instructor would be wise to avoid eye contact, and for heaven’s sake, never approach one from behind without

Ultimately, you have to decide if training classes are the answer. They can be of immense value when done properly. I would recommend using them as long as they are consistent with your own methods outside of the class room. Dogs need proper order to be successful at any task you ask of them. Most important of all, don’t wait until you walk into a show training to begin training your puppy.h

“Let me count the ways”

“The activity of attracting public attention to a product or business, as by paid announcements.”

FOR

thousands of years people have used some form of advertising to sell their wares. From wall and rock paintings dating as far back as 4000 BC to the hand written sales messages on papyrus in ancient Greece to painted signs bearing images of a boot or a hat or a suit of clothes or even a bag of flour to today’s market place, advertising has been refined and broadened as communications technology advances.

The use of classified print advertising began to flourish with the advent of the movable type printing press, thanks to Johannes Gutenberg back around 1450. In 1704 the first classified ad appeared in a Boston newspaper. For more than three centuries the use of classified advertising to get the word to the broadest possible market was very popular. Today the trend to use classified ads continues; however, these are more likely to appear in the form of online advertising which is considered much faster, broader, and more target-specific.

Proud new owners and their new puppies. Many thanks to these breeders for sharing their success “stories.” -- Michelle Gahgan, RAFIKI, Kelli Harmon, KIROJA, Terry Reed, ILLUSION

WHAT IS THE RIGHT CHOICE? THE STIGMA OF MAKING ”WRONG” CHOICES When my first litter was born, I was unsure how to find owners for the puppies I could not keep. When I asked my mentor, she suggested I place an ad in my local newspaper. So I did. In fact, I used this resource for the next few litters until I became better known. Conversely, other more established breeders shunned this practice and were quick to convey their rather negative opinions. I could never understand why using local advertising was a bad choice. As a responsible breeder I still had to meet these potential buyers, interview them, meet any children in the family, and because all these folks lived in the area, I could drive to their homes to see for myself how my puppies would live. Looking back, the puppies I placed through my local newspaper went to great homes whose owners were happy to stop by from time to time to show me how their basenjis were flourishing. This was a thrill for me and the bonus was being able to keep track of the puppies’ development, their health, and their condition.

With today’s vast array of advertising choices, if breeders screen buyers to assure themselves that their puppy is a good fit for a family, what difference does it make how the breeder connects with these good buyers? What makes one resource bad and another good? I have had other breeders refer people to me who ultimately I had to reject. Moreover when advertising nationwide, few breeders are excited about the prospect of putting a puppy in the cargo hold of an airplane to someone they never met face-to-face. Yet, some breeders do this. I have done this, and believe me, it is a cringe-worthy experience. And what happens when this puppy lands in a home that turns out to be less than ideal. Several years ago I placed a puppy, again a referral, in New York, and 10 months later I drove to that state to “bail” the dog out of a boarding facility after he had been abandoned by his owner several weeks prior. It cost me more than $500 in boarding fees plus a long trip, but we are always responsible until the day these dogs die. So, again, what difference does it make how we advertise our dogs as long as we remain committed and responsible for their lives?

Yet, in spite of all the positive experiences I had using local classified ads, some breeders who abhored this practice told me “good” breeders would ”...never sell their puppies in this manner.” In fact, just to drive the point home to me, when a basenji did appear in the classified section of my local newspaper other basenji owners would call to alert me of this “offense.” What was I supposed to do? Call the advertiser and say “Stop it!” or interrogate the owners as to why their basenji was for sale? Frankly, I wasn’t sure I was even qualified to take such actions.

THE CHOICE IS YOURS Ultimately the choice IS yours and yours alone. Choose the best means to find the best people for your puppies. There should be no stigma involved. Weigh the advantages of the resources available to you and use the most effective methods to attain your goal of placing happy, healthy puppies. As breeders our main objective is to be responsible for the well-being of our dogs and for their longevity through good health and stable temperaments.h

The

National Purebred Dog Day: A Step In the Right Direction

B-LEGAL Blog

May 1, 2015 marked the second annual celebration of National Purebred Dog Day in the United States.

he brain-child of Puli breeder and blogger Susi Szeremy, National Purebred Dog Day began as a grass-roots Facebook® effort to challenge the content and tone of discussions about purebred dog ownership and the rightful choice of individuals and families to purchase a purebred dog from an ethical breeder. Susi perceived that the “voice” of ethical purebred breeders and any dialog about the benefits of purebred dog ownership were being over-shadowed by animal rights advocates pushing an “Adopt, Don’t Shop” agenda that promotes shelter/rescue adoption as the only way that any “caring person” should obtain a canine companion.

HERITAGE. DIVERSITY. PREDICTABILITY. These three words epitomize the letter and spirit of National TO READ MORE OF THIS Purebred Dog DayARTICLE – an accurate and honest response to the “Adopt, Don’t Shop” mantra of animal rights activists. “Adopt, Don’t Shop” implies that a rescued or shelter-adopted WE INVITE YOU TO SUBSCRIBE ATanimal is the best and only choice for all owners, regardless of individual needs, wants, and financial By Karla Schreiber, Esq. and physical circumstances. In contrast, heritage, diversity, and www.modernbasenji.com predictability sum up three important characteristics that make purchasing a quality-bred purebred dog from an ethical breeder an option that every potential pet-owning household should at least consider. Adoption/rescue are laudable activities. However, many laudable activities are not appropriate for everyone. A person with extensive financial wherewithal, for example, may be willing and able to donate thousands of dollars to charitable causes each year. A “comfortable” middle class person, however, may only be able to donate a few dollars. Similarly, someone with adequate time and means may be able to volunteer their services here or abroad to provide aid to others in need, while a person who works full time, earns a modest income, and supports a family simply can’t do so – even if they want

to. It may not be “the responsible choice” given their means and circumstances. When examined in the cold light of day, the “Adopt, Don’t Shop” hue and cry is a one-size-fits-all propaganda slogan designed to convince would-be dog owners that there is only one right way to acquire a dog. By making rescue/adoption seem like the only socially correct option, animal advocates aim to convince pet owners to give up the right to consider their own personal circumstances, expectations, and desires in selecting a companion. Instead, they should place themselves and their families at the mercy of “the great unknown” (in terms of physical traits, health, temperament, and after-acquisition support) that often accompanies the acquisition of a rescued or shelter dog. A related hue and cry is that every purchase of a purebred dog results in “one less home” for a rescued/shelter dog. But is this claim based in fact, or is it just more agenda-driven rhetoric? In my twenty-five years as a basenji fancier and breeder I’ve seen very little, if any, evidence of real competition between “adoption/ rescue” and purchasing a purebred dog from a breeder. I’ve had many visitors to my home over the years to meet and learn about our breed. Not a single person or family has told me “We want to meet basenjis, but we’re dead-set on getting a rescue!” Individuals who believe strongly that rescue is important and who have weighed all of the pros and cons are highly unlikely to come to our doors seeking advice and counsel. Those who come to our homes to learn more are those who know (or at least suspect) that an adopted or rescued pet may not work for their household. They are drawn to basenjis based on the breed’s unique and ancient heritage, the predictable nature of its physical and behavioral traits (short coat, moderate size, moderate activity level, independent “cat like” disposition, etc.), and perhaps the desire to have a mentor who can assist them throughout their pet’s lifetime. In short, those who decide to purchase a purebred dog from a responsible breeder are not giving up the option to take in a rescued/adopted dog because these households were not interested in the latter option in the first place. The reverse is also true. Those who are committed to the notion of rescue/adoption are not “taking away” placements from reputable breeders because they are not actively considering this option at the outset. The choice to rescue/adopt or purchase a purebred dog from an ethical breeder is a highly personal, fact-based choice that every would-be pet owner has the right to make for themselves.

National Purebred Dog Day is a significant step in the right direction! I firmly believe this annual celebration will help ethical breeders and fanciers regain our voice and reassert – in the most positive terms – why it is essential that the heritage of purpose-bred dogs should be preserved; why predictable type and temperament are important factors for many households; and why a decision to purchase a purebred dog is a valid choice. The dialog isn’t, and should never have been, whether adoption/rescue is “good” or purchasing a well-bred purebred dog is “bad.” Either option may be right for any individual or family. What is important is that both choices should be respected and valued equally. The enormous popularity of televised dog events like the famous Westminster Kennel Club show and regional/local Meet the Breeds events evidence the fact that the American public LOVES purebred dogs every bit as much as they love their Heinz 57 dogs! In the words of National Purebred Dog Day founder Susi Szeremy, “Supporting and celebrating this day is an opportunity for those involved in purebred fancies to be “proud but humble” because “[o]ur breeds are living legacies

argument for why our breed, as well as others, does not deserve to be protected, promoted, and preserved.

In addition to using National Purebred Dog Day as a tool to educate the public about the diverse purposes and heritage of purebred dogs, another important objective is simply the opportunity for breeders and fanciers to STAND UP – as Susi states – proudly but humbly – and say: “I am an ethical purebred dog breeder/owner. I am proud of what I do. I work hard at what I do. I love my breed of choice, and I want to ensure the health and integrity of my breed so that it can be enjoyed by future generations.” Rather than sitting quietly and listening to the “Adopt, Don’t Shop” mantra, it is time for us to step back into the dialog in social media and elsewhere to make it clear that we, as ethical hobby breeders and fanciers, are proud of what we do and how we do it! We are not going anywhere and neither are the amazing, unique, purpose-bred dogs we champion. 1

MY BY KYA, THD

WORLD Hi out there in “Senjiland!”

have happy and sad news this time around. First, the happy news (a bit late I know). Above is my graduation picture. I now have an AKC Therapy Dog title that I earned in 2014. This could have happened in 2012 or 2013 if mom had not procrastinated so long. Anyway, now it is official. I am now Rosadon Recycle Riot, THD. Yippy! More happy news....I think I am truly ready for my debut in official competition -- at least I think I am ready.

awful so Mom rushed her back to Urgent Care, but they could not save her. I always told Libby that her busy little mouth would be her undoing, and that is exactly what happened. Budboy and I mourned for about a week and a half over her demise. So far we are adjusting. Second sad news. The man had a mild stroke, I think. Anyway Mom took him to the hospital on Christmas morning, and he has not come back yet. Mom says it is because he can’t walk anymore. Anyway, I miss him throwing little bits of food under the table for me which annoys mom to no end, but the good news is that there seems to be less commotion around the house. It is more tranquil and quiet,

Now for the sad, sad news. Two days before Thanksgiving Libby showed signs again of not feeling well. Of course, Mom always knows what that means; Libby ate something she was not supposed to eat. It seems the man decided he didn’t want her to sleep on the bare floor so he proceeded to nail a piece of carpet to a piece of plywood. Mom said, “No, no, no, no!”, but he did it anyway, and Libby proceeded to nibble away at the edges. She swallowed one piece with a tack that stuck in her duodenum. On Wednesday Libby spent the entire day in the hospital getting x-rays every two hours to see if the “spot” would move. Unfortunately, it did not move, and because the clinic was closed on Thursday Mom had to take Libby to Urgent Care where they did two more sets of x-rays. The doctors decided to do emergency surgery. On Friday she spent the day on IV fluids and on Saturday morning she came home happy as a lark. But then on Sunday she felt really

a lot of time in Damon’s fleece leggings. They are so warm that I do not like it when mom takes them off. Everybody keeps telling me spring is just around the corner, but for the life of me I don’t seem to be able to find which corner they are talking about. By the time you read this that corner may have appeared. I am so happy that classes have started again and maybe some more of those fun things that Mom likes to do. Until next time.. ..happy trails to you, keep smiling until next time. 

Are Basenjis DOOMED for

Extinction? ‘The good of the breed is the most oft quoted lie in Dogdom.” .... Malcolm B. Willis

you listen to some people in the breed you might think that basenjis are on the road to extinction. They offer different reasons but it usually comes back to having too few founders -- the gene pool is too small. Let's look at the facts. If this was true wouldn't one expect to see signs of inbreeding depression? Where are they? In the 1980s some breeders panicked when Fanconi syndrome began to wipe out a lot of their extended families of basenjis. Their cries were heard over those who said they had little or no Fanconi in their lines/families. At that time, based on a nationwide survey of basenji health and studies by Dr. Kenneth Bovee, Dr. Russell Brown, and Dr. Edward Breitschwerdt, it was assumed that Fanconi was probably prevalent in about 15% of basenjis. However, this also meant that 85% of the breed was unaffected.

TO READ MORE OF THIS ARTICLE WE INVITE YOU TO SUBSCRIBE AT www.modernbasenji.com In 2007, more than 20 years later, an indirect

by Mary Lou Kenworthy

marker test for Fanconi was developed. Consequently, over the next few years, through careful breeding practices and by using this test, the incidence level of Fanconi was revealed to be about 6.5%. This is probably an underestimated figure because some owners who had basenjis with Fanconi may not have used the test because they already knew the results. Fortunately, today there is a direct gene DNA test that when used properly might wipe out Fanconi within a few generations. Continued on page 23

The Modern Basenji - Worldwide - www.modernbasenji.com | 22

ÂŠPhoto by Amy Kimura

There is no specific gene that causes Fanconi syndrome. Fanconi is caused by a group of missing genes that are need to be present in order for the dog to maintain a healthy life. When the genes are missing from both parents Fanconi develops. Missing from one side produces a carrier. The Fanconi DNA test detects the presence and/or absence of these genes. The results are Normal, Carrier or Affected. One early popular sire produced at least four direct tail male popular sires, and his very large family contained many affected and carrier basenjis. This group was responsible for the spread of Fanconi syndrome throughout this country and abroad. A more recent popular sire surpassed all of these in spreading health problems worldwide.

Amatangazig of the Congo in 1938 and Kindu and Kasenyi in 1941. Wau of the Congo was added in 1952. Fula of the Congo joined the gene pool in a big way in 1959. 'Tiger' (Binza of Laughing Brook) was brought out at the same time as Fula, and although he was sent went to Rhodesia, S. Africa he had daughters in England and a great grandson that came to the USA. Kiki of Cryon was added in 1960 and Taysenji Tahzu in 1962 bringing the dominant black into play. Phemister's Congo joined the gene pool in 1975. With the addition of Tex of Alexandria the founder count was at seventeen, certainly enough for a viable population at this point. But there were more dogs to come. When the stud book was opened six Avongara native dogs were registered from the 1987 importation and two more were included from the 1988 trip. At this time Esenjo (imported in 1978) and her offspring were admitted into the AKC studbook registry.

TO READ MORE OF THIS ARTICLE However, some peopleWE continued to theorize that our problem TO SUBSCRIBE AT INVITE YOU was because basenjis lacked enough genetic diversity because of too few founders. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s examine that theory. Dr. Phillip Sponenberg, DVM, www.modernbasenji.com PhD, Professor Pathology and Genetics, Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine, indicated that the minimum founder number could be somewhere around 10 but more founders would be better. Dr. Robert C. Lacy, PhD, who works as a Population Geneticist in the Conservation Biology department of the Chicago Zoological Society, puts the number at 20 founders to build a viable population. According to Kevin Willis and Raymond E. Willis, (How Many Founders, How Large a Population, Zoo Biology) 20 randomly selected individuals will supply 97.5% of the source population diversity. Yet, raising that number to 30 founders increases the supply of the source population by only 0.8 percent or to 98.3%. A very large number of founders increases the survival rate of a population very little. So where does the basenji breed stand in all of this? There were nine founders from 1936 through 1941. They were Basanga, Bashele, Bereke, Bokoto, Bongo and Bungwa all 'of Blean', and Bakuma of Blean, later known as Phemister's Bois. Other founders were

In 2006 six more were brought in with the Avongara prefix. One Lukuru basenji was admitted that year as well. The AKC studbook in 2007 had five more Avongaras added in addition to one more Lukuru basenji. From the '80s though 2007 twenty-two more founders were added to the gene pool making the total count of thirty nine. This is many more than most breeds have ever had. Do we really need more? Basenji breeders do a good job of keeping on top of health problem, and to date there have been no reports of problems attributed to inbreeding depression. It is more important now than ever to be selective about what is being used in breeding programs in order to protect Nature's Masterpiece. Is there really a need to add to the contamination of this ancient natural breed by using questionable dogs from unlikely locations in the name of diversity? h

LITTLE REPORTED

HAZARDS TO YOUR DOGS by Mary Lou Kenworthy

There are dangers to our dogs that many of you may not know about. In over half a century in basenjis it seems strange that I have not seen anything in basenji literature about toxic mushrooms, acorns and/or oak leaves. They can cause painful deaths to dogs. Following is information all dog owners should know.

THE

Amanita muscaria, commonly known as the fly agaric or fly amanita.

TO READ MORE OF THIS ARTICLE WE INVITE YOU TO SUBSCRIBE AT www.modernbasenji.com

Amanita species of mushrooms (also called Death Angel) are very toxic. They cause many symptoms and usually end in death. Symptoms appear about six to twenty four hours after ingestion. Usually oak trees (Quercus spp.) are hosts to these mushrooms but the association can be with other hardwoods or conifers. Acorns can cause the same symptoms as these mushrooms if ingested. If your dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drinking water has had acorns and/or oak leaves soaking in it the water can become toxic. Did you know that acorns contain gallotannin, and depending on how much a dog eats, can cause gastrointestinal upsets with symptoms such as cramps, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, sometimes bloody diarrhea, and kidney failure? A few dogs may even have seizures. Acorns swallowed whole have the potential to block the intestines, while chewed acorns release more toxin and the sharp pieces can irritate the gastrointestinal tract. Continued on page 25

The Modern Basenji - Worldwide - www.modernbasenji.com | 24

LITTLE KNOWN HAZARDS TO YOUR DOG (continued) These toxins work by slowly attacking RNA polymerase, an enzyme in the liver. They also affect the central nervous system and kidneys. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance and impaired coagulation are other symptoms. All the values constantly go downhill even when supplemented. Even with the best of care, few survive once the process is advanced. If one knows his dog has ingested something toxic it is best to cause it to vomit immediately to hopefully prevent further problems.

We lost our sweet, mischievous little brindle bitch to what was diagnosed as mushroom poisoning. I had never seen any mushrooms on my property but with the strange weather we have had this winter anything could be possible. It had been sixty-five degrees the day before she showed symptoms, and she was outside all day. My neighbors came up with rakes and helped searched among the leaves for mushrooms and found none, but by then it was very cold again. eat acorns before. First time for everything, I guess. At least a lesson was learned about toxins, and an ultrasound had shown that, while the liver was deteriorating, There was a small pile of leaves in the corner of my there was no sign of cancer so there was no genetic reason for her demise. A small porch that she like to lie in so I left it there. One night consolation at great expense. after we lost her there was an extremely high wind that caused most of the leaves to blow away. I was surprised There are many sites on the web where you can read more information and see to find that under the leaves were acorn shells. I never pictures of these poisonous mushrooms. One of the better sites is “Tom Volk’s Fungus thought of dogs as eating acorns. I have lived in a grove of the Month series.” This website has information about acorns and oak trees toxic to of oak trees for fifteen years and had never had a basenjis dogs. If there are oak trees near your dog yard, it may pay to check these out.  The Modern Basenji - Worldwide - www.modernbasenji.com | 25

THE AKC THERAPY DOG PROGRAM

fter considering many requests from dog owners to acknowledge the great works of their dogs helping others, AKC developed the AKC Therapy Dog Program that offers several levels of opportunity for earning titles. However, AKC does not certify therapy dogs. This is done by qualified, approved AKC therapy dog organizations that are experts in this field. Any dog that is certified by any of the many AKC recognized therapy organizations is eligible for titling recognition by the AKC through its therapy dog program. Not to be confused with a Service Dog that is specially trained to do specific tasks to help its disabled owner, a Therapy Dog works as part of a team with his owner to help improve the lives of people by visiting a senior in an assisted living or nursing home or going to schools and hospitals. He may also play a role in helping a child learn to read simply by providing that calming effect we know can help humans just through the simple act of being petted and stroked.
