Yvonne & Kees ‘t Mannetje’s Lola came in first her very first day lure coursing! Uschi Grewe's AJ came in first his very first day of racing! Kim McNeill: 'Well, this is very nice! Evidently the World Canine Freestyle Organization gives you a medal if you get a qualifying score with a basenji! Zest! and I got our first leg (qualifying score) towards our Team Freestyle Dog, which is the beginning level. They even sent medals to our other teammates (Pam with Orion, Georgeann with Piper, Pat with Cricket and Jackie with Tige) because, you know, they were brave enough to attempt an obedience type competition with a basenji teammate. So, do performance sport/event with a basenji, get a medal. Yep, that sounds about right!" New Addtions: Andrea & Kip Stone's Keeper is Turkish. Saorsa FoPaw's Notorious. Anne & Don MacMillan got their first ever puppy basenji. Kathryn Ladick’ kept Diva & Rocky's pups. Sue & Bob Schulz added Kojak's daughter, Hanna to the family.
Garrett O'Dell: "My new girl has come home! Tiffany-Kate is about six pounds of sweetness. She like the place, is already addicted to sitting on me, on the bigass chair with Molly and the cat .She ate all of her supper, and had a couple of bites of rice cake for dessert .Not touch aversive, and seems adaptable to a new situation. I'll try not to babble too much about her, but I'm sure happy.. see the Back Page - Mitzvah, by Lisa Osenni Mackey. | In Memoriam: |
