The Basenji Cup was held at the race track in Oude Pekela last Sunday. Maeva won this race last year and she brought the 1.7 meter cup home then. Unfortunately this year she couldn't compete, because she's in heat. Aoide and Mirtillo did compete though. And even better: Tonda and his two Basenji brothers were there as well all the way from the Czech Republic! Tonda even ended up second! Aoide became sixth and Mirtillo ninth. The weather and company were great and we are already looking forward to next year's race!

We are very proud of Mirtillo who became BISS Veteran at the Dutch Basenji Specialty last Saturday. His daughter Torvi (Bahira of Jicho Nyota) became BISS puppy! Two of his other daughters from Germany were shown as well. Joya (Basima of JN) became second and Bee (Bea of JN) fourth in puppy class with a Very Promising. It was the first show for all three (and for the owners)! Thank you for joining and big congrats to you all!
Aoide was shown in champion class, she was placed third with an Excellent. Maeva had a day off ;) No pictures this time. The weather was just horrible, so the camera stayed in the car. Maeva and Aoide had a successful day at the coursing field of the WvCNL where the international Summer coursing was organized today. Maeva won the first place and Aoide became second! Mirtillo was allowed to participate, because of the uneven entry. He didn't get any points and he wasn't placed, but he enjoyed himself to the max anyway!
Maeva ran two clean runs for her racing license (track) and she is now allowed to participate in official competitions!
We spent a lovely long weekend (or short week..) in Sweden and entered Mirtillo, Aoide and Maeva for both specialty shows. Time to post some pictures and results!
The show on Saturday was judged by Mrs. Katie Campbell (Taji's Basenjis, USA).
The show on Sunday was judged by Mrs. Sofie Krigholm (Kennel Enigma, Sweden).
It was a real joy to watch so many gorgeous Basenjis and it was a privilege to show our Basenjis to these two very experienced judges. A big thank you to Melchior, Jeroen and Marieke for their lovely company and for handling the camera! Suaralayn Chaos Junkie "Maeva" was shown at the international dog show in Rotterdam today. She won her fourth CAC, which makes her a brand new Dutch Champion!
The judge was Mrs. Rita McCarry-Beattie (IE) and this was her critique: "Very pleasing head and eye. Good reach of neck. Well placed shoulder. Nicely balanced outline. Moves very soundly in both directions. A little close behind. Excellent temperament." 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!
