Last weekend was the German Basenji Speciality. Because of the forty year jubilee of the German Basenji Club the weekend was extra festive with a lovely dinner and a well known judge: Mrs. Anneli Pukkila (Sternhimmels Basenjis).

Mirtillo was shown in veteran class and won his class with an Excellent. He became BOS Veteran! This was his judge report:

"9 years. Veteran in excellent condition. Excellent proportions and type. Good head shape, excellent wrinkles. Well set ears. A bit round eyes. Excellent neck and topline. Short upperarm. Good rear. Would prefer a bit better forechest. Good tail and set. Excellent side movement, a bit wide and loose front. Excellent coat texture, colour and temperament."

Then it was Aoide's turn. She was entered in a big champion class and got an Excellent. She wasn't placed. This was her judge report:

"5 years. Excellent type, size and proportions. Very feminine head with excellent wrinkles. Good eyes and ears. Excellent neck and topline, tail set and tail. Short upper arm and lacking some fore chest. Fine bone. Good rear. Excellent coat, colour and temperament. Moves well from the side, a bit close behind."

Maeva was the last one to go into the ring. She was shown in open class. She got a Very Good and wasn't placed, but she behaved perfectly in the ring. This is what the judge thought of her:

"2 years. Tall bitch of very good proportions and type. Good body and bone. Enough angulation in front with a better rear. A bit long in the loin. Good tail set, one curl tail. Good head shape, excellent pigmentation, light eyes, well set, a bit big ears. Enough wrinkles. Excellent coat and colour. Moves well from the side, a bit loose in front. Excellent temperament."

At the end of the day Mirtillo and Aoide were shown together. They became second best brace. After all the showing we had a lovely evening with our Basenji friends. We are already looking forward to our next German specialty!

We spent the first week of July in Austria together with Marieke and Marije and their Basenjis Beau and Sira. Three women with their five Basenjis in a log cabin for seven days, combined with beautiful hikes through the mountains, a morning spent with water sports and delicious food: it was fantastic!

Below you find a selection of the many pictures we took.
