Last weekend we were in Hamburg for the 35 year anniversary of the German Basenji club. There was a show on Saturday and a race on Sunday, both organized at the race track in Hamburg. There were 46 Basenjis entered for the show. We entered Aoide for the puppy class and her sister Ariniti and brother Johnny were also present. Johnny was shown by Janneke in puppy class males. They were placed third. Pilot George, owned by Aoide's breeder, became first in that same class! In the early afternoon it was Aoide's turn. She showed herself perfectly and became first in her class! Judge was Jon Curby (USA, Kibushi Basenjis) and this was what he thought about Aoide:
"Excellent outline, short back, lots of leg. Excellent head, small dark eyes, short muzzle, lots of wrinkles. Good tailset. Could have little more angulation in front, rear angulation is ideal. Going, coming and side movement is excellent and smooth with nice level topline."

After the class judgement it was time for Pilot George and Aoide to enter the ring to see who would become best puppy of the show. Aoide showed really well again and became BOB/BISS Puppy! We are extremely proud of her!
At the end of the afternoon there were sweepstakes. Here the dogs are judged on specific details, like their ears or coat. Aoide won 'Best Paws' and Johnny won 'Best Wrinkles' and 'Best Red/White'. It sure was a great day for Burudika's A litter!

On Sunday was the race. Of course our Mirtillo was entered as well. He ran together with his nieces Aloua and Aminouh. In the first run Mirtillo was the first to cross the finish line. In the second course Aminouh won. The placement was based on the best time and dogs and bitches were separated. Mirtillo became fourth best male! A very nice achievement!
The puppies were allowed to run a straight run. Aoide ran her first run with Ariniti, Johnny and Pilot George. She didn't mind the others at all and enjoyed chasing the lure. She ran alone during her second run. She was whining at the start and showed that she knows what to do at the track! Our little talent!
