He then came to live at Jokuba in January of this year. He was selectively shown on a very limited basis and stole the hearts of judges and exhibitors from the start.

It might seem like a small thing, but AKC really needs our support on this. Many puppy mills have stopped using AKC registration, so AKC needs to have the income. There is a $1,000.00 “prize” for the club that has the biggest percent of its members’ puppies registered. At the time that the new owner picks up the puppy, have them write a check to AKC, sign their papers and you (the breeder) then send that registration to AKC. It’s the best and easiest way to ensure that your puppies get their individual AKC papers. Along the same line, it will also ensure that all your show puppies get their individual papers. Starting in January, a dog can only be shown if it has it’s individual registration. Any dog not individually registered will lose any points it may have won while being shown if entered using the litter number. The only exception will be for dogs registered with an AKC recognized foreign registration. They still have 30 days during which they may be shown, before getting their AKC papers.

The Basenji Club of America, Inc. BULLETIN - 11 The abric of Time Part 2 F by Dr. Jo Thompson

The fabric of time is a vibrant tapestry woven from the threads of moments gone-by intermingled with present day. As basenji fanciers, we can wrap ourselves in the folds of this colorful and complicated framework by bringing the past alongside the present. But, what will that relationship reveal? In the past year there has been vigorous dialogue around the sport of conformation dog show competition concerning how some purebred breeds have been developed away from their original type as a result of breeding patterns in pursuit of the current winning fashion. For comparison, over the course of more than 70 years of basenji breed progress where are we today? The original breed Standard for the basenji was based on the type characteristics of the basenjis from the first successful importations (1936 and 1937). The original breed description, which is still the mainstay of the Standard, was written with the dogs in front of them and based on personal knowledge of the dogs phenotype and function in their native homeland, thus maintaining the native type. Mrs. Olivia Burn was the original breed pioneer and one of the principal authors of the breed Standard. She was the first successful importer of basenjis when she started a breeding program from seven native dogs brought from an area around Kwenge (Kikwit) in the Congo, all carrying the “of Blean” affix. It is the Blean dogs type that defined the breed Standard. In August 2008 the American Kennel Club announced that it opened, for a limited time, the basenji stud book in order to offer an opportunity to import dogs from their native land. In anticipation of this momentous act, four dogs were imported from the Congo under the moniker “Lukuru” in 2007. 70 years ago the Blean dogs came from an area approximately 340 kilometers (~210 miles) from what is today central Lukuru (as the crow flies1[i]). In the Lukuru, the dogs continue to fulfill the same function for which they originated long before written time. Please permit me to introduce you to the four Lukuru imports. Each picture shows the individual in the Congo as a puppy (image on left) and today as an adult (image on right).

Sunday operated on the same schedule as the day before except half our team needed to leave at 12:30 pm. We managed with only one booth dog, Jules, for the rest of the afternoon and vowed that we’d bring more dogs next year. Tearing down the booth was a bit of a job as it was too crowded to use the dolly which we had used on Friday to transport everything. Laura, Melody and Jane worked for two hours carefully taking down the booth and dragging everything to their cars. Then we all headed out to go home to our basenjis until next year. Looking back it was an incredible amount of work to organize and pull the whole weekend off. I think all can agree that our booth provided a positive and educational message about the basenji breed.

By Susan Chuvala

If you share your home with a basenji that can’t (or won’t) control the urge to eliminate indoors, a practical and inexpensive solution for protecting floors is the interlocking foam playroom mats sold at home improvement stores. These squares are lightweight and washable and can be configured numerous ways to keep puddles and other accidents away from flooring. They also provide a cushioned and nonskid surface which is especially appreciated by senior or arthritic dogs.

Many basenjis consider cat feces to be an irresistible treat. This is mainly because these “buried treasures” have such a high protein content due to the workings of the feline digestive system. Though rather a disgusting habit, it is usually harmless as long as the cat is in good health and not carrying any parasites

Melatonin supplements are commonly prescribed to dogs for the treatment of anxiety and noise-related phobias, but they may also be helpful for older dogs that have begun to display cognitive problems. A dose of melatonin given along with the evening meal can help a restless pet, as well as his owner, sleep soundly through the night. Available in health food stores and most pharmacies, melatonin may interact with other medications that your basenji To p 25 Judges’ Choice is taking so please check with your veterinarian before use.

I am the first to acknowledge the costs to produce the magazine In 2008, using figures based on each magazine quarter of increased on my watch. No doubt about it. The numbers got higher for collected revenue, the advertising revenue was $8,815.00; non-member a couple of reasons. We went to color and the content expanded. No subscriptions were $270; $32.50 in single-copy issues were sold; and mystery. Further, to offset that increase, the advertising rates went up to the club collected $1,851 in subscriptions from its members. In 2008, it reflect that increase AND not surprisingly, interest in advertising began cost $13,406.94 to produce four quarters of the BULLETIN. The BCOA to climb. The BULLETIN, for the first time, became a competitive received $10,968.50 in revenue, leaving a net loss of $2,438.44 or about magazine in the advertising market! $4.00 per household.

Is that amount allocated in your dues a subscription or is it That obvious answer is Yes and not in any nefarious way. These increases subsidy paid by the club? One board member tried to explain to me that were approved by the BCOA Board. In fact, right out of the box in 2006, this $3.00 was actually the subsidy, not really a subscription, and should the Board made the decision to move the magazine to a different printer not be assessed as part of the revenue towards the BULLETIN. Well, to improve the quality. Even though the cost would be somewhat higher, when you receive your membership dues renewal, check the form. Right the trade-off was worth it just to get better print quality for the ads. And under your name is a statement that reads: “Dues: (A $3.00 subscription people liked the change. for the Official Bulletin of the Basenji Club of America, Inc. has Ironically, no one ever asked the second part of the question: “Is the already been included as part of the membership fee.”) amount of revenue collected for advertising, subscriptions, single copy Meaning three of your dollars, money you pay – are allocated to sales higher?” Most definitely YES!

NUMBERS…Consider this…in its most simple form: At today’s low ad and low allocated subscription rates, it is unlikely the BULLETIN will ever garner all the revenue to balance the expense of printing and distribution. In fact, the Club has never even set a precedent for doing so. For those worried folks who are convinced that the BULLETIN is running out of control, the membership does have Sweepstakes options. First Place - 6 mo & under 9 mo AOAC • Reduce the content. The club can easily go back to this, but understand that a magazine the size of that 1992 issue will cost the club more in the long run than the current publication because we will lose the advertising dollars. It will no longer be competitive, and the magazine won’t be any better than a newsletter. • Increase the advertising rates. • Increase the amount of subscription dollars allocated through membership dues. As I noted earlier, the subsidy by the club for that 2nd quarter issue broke down to about $4.00 per member. Clearly, $3.00 is not enough! • Charge an individual subscription as some clubs do. Personally, I have always thought getting all the the BCOA publications as part of my membership dues was the biggest part of the bargain. For the cost of a single membership, a member receives a yearly subscription to a pretty robust quarterly magazine, a spiffy annual membership directory AND a club newsletter eight times a year. I challenge anyone to tell me they can get a better deal anywhere else. The BULLETIN is ever evolving and has become one of the best media resources the club has. I am always open to ideas that will improve the magazine, and I have always been under the impression that, overall, this is a pretty cooperative basenji community. Still, I would like to put this topic to rest, once and for all. It is, after all, up to the membership, not any one group of people or one lone individual. Some members of this current board say they want to, and I am quoting here, “do more to survey the wishes of our membership.” Well, now is your chance.

The S series genes are 2epistatic to the genes that determine color. That is, their influence will be present regardless of what other color genes are present. The genes for white will put their pattern over the colored areas.

1 Modifying Factors – Little describes them thus: “At each level of white spotting or pigment distribution characteristic of each of the alleles at this locus, various genetic factors independent of the main gene are operative. These cause the extent of pigment or white areas to fluctuate around a given mean of distribution which the main gene attempts to produce.” In other words, the various amounts of white described for each S gene is not cut and dried. The white divisions can and do overlap each other as determined by modifying genes.

The Basenji Club of America, Inc. BULLETIN - 62 BCOA 2009 National Suddanly Imara’s Vivace Specialty Agility Trial

By Lisa Marshall

Our BCOA national specialty agility trial was held in conjunction with the Derby City Agility Association trial on Monday, September 7, 2009. While this arrangement reduced the number of people who could watch the trial, it did make a lot of sense considering the logistics involved with getting a set of AKC regulation agility equipment to our show site. Some years it works well to have the agility trial on site, and some years it is nearly impossible and very costly to rent and transport equipment to our national site. This was one of those years. So we did the next best thing: we supported the entry of basenjis at a nearby all breed trial on Monday, the day after the conclusion of the basenji national events. So although we did have to drive another 80 miles over to Buckner, Kentucky (east of Louisville), we were happy to be running indoors – no heat, no humidity and no rain – and all we had to do was focus on our dogs and their performances – no worries about anything else. Thanks Tad Brooks and Joseph Hurt for taking time to come over and watch us FCh Kenset The Wheels In Motion x Suddanly Lady Lowrider, FCh run! We had an entry of 8 or 9 basenjis running in the Derby City SECOND PLACE - OPEN B/T/W BITCH trial representing all levels from novice to open to excellent in both Viv had fun at the Specialty, taking NBQ in the Open stake the standard classes and the jumpers with weaves classes. Mary and at the ASFA trial and 2nd in the Open Tri bitch class to the Shannon Wilson, Belinda Kaufman, Susan Cook, Katy Scott, Pat Wand, eventual WB and BOW. Lisa Marshall and Becky Blansett enjoyed the fun of our own little basenji agility specialty, even at an all breed trial. Owners: Dr. Sue Campeau and Connie Camp Our one qualifying run was Kaper and Belinda – congratulations to Breeder: Dr. Sue Campeau, Suddanly Basenjis this very steady and capable team! www.carolinabasenjis.com The 2010 national will have a basenji only agility trial right on the specialty show site!

The 2009 national specialty auction was a success! We raised just over $5,000 and helped the 2009 national specialty end up in the black. There were about 177 items donated to the auction. We had a beautiful collection of basenji related items from the estate of Kathleen Klimkiewicz of Eremomela Basenjis, who passed away on November 6, 2008. Damara Bolte’ and Jane Lodge graciously cataloged and transported the many lovely items from Kathleen’s estate to the national for the auction. Our top ten money raisers included books, artwork, a quilt and for the second year in a row, the Bay State Basenji Club’s basket was right up there! This year the basket was named the New England’s Bountiful Harvest basket and it was filled with a terrific assortment of regional goodies. The top item this year was a copy of Veronica Tudor Williams’ Kenset Bornonthefourthofjuly x FC Cynosure Suddanly Hi-Fashion, SC, FCh, VFCh book, Fula – Basenji from the Jungle. Thank you to you, the generous donors without whose participation SECOND PLACE - 9-11 YEAR OLD VET. SWEEPSTAKES there would be no auction.

The Rawhide Relay requires the basenjis to run with their handlers  across the ring, pick up a rawhide in their mouths and return to the starting line while carrying the rawhide. In the T-Shirt Contest the basenjis must run across the ring with their handlers who have to dress the little ones in t-shirts and socks before they dash back across the ring. The dogs were all good sports about the dressing even if they were a little befuddled! The handlers were great sports, too. First through fourth place in all the classes receive a ribbon and prize. This year some extras educational experiences were added. Club member Jane Johnson gave a Rally demo, and members took advantage of her expertise on practice runs afterward. Members Jeff and Scotti Slonaker demonstrated obedience commands and shared their experience with others who wished to do practice run-throughs.

Tight Rope Poster. or Peter Morant wrote about my poster & Man on Wire in the Western Yodel: Purchase online at Mail your order to: “On 7 August 1974, Frenchman Philippe Petit stepped out on www.basenji.org by BCOA African Stock Project a wire illegally rigged between New York’s twin towers, then the clicking on the BCOA c/o Linda Siekert world’s tallest buildings. After nearly an hour dancing on the Online Store link 6800 N Montezuma Dr wire, he was arrested, taken for psychological evaluation, and Tucson, AZ 85718-2432 brought to jail before he was finally released. Man on Wire is a new documentary film on the spectacle that became known as “the artistic crime of the century.” Susan Kamen Marsicano lived in New York City for most of her life before moving to Woodstock NY, which, coincidentally, is where Philippe Petit also now lives. Susan went to Cooper Union Art School in downtown Manhattan and lived in what is now called SOHO and in the city’s financial district for many years. She walked her first dog, Apu - a Basenji cross - in Battery Park and watched the Twin Towers being built, walking by very often. Philippe Petit’s feat in 1974 interested Susan and she was inspired to make a drawing of two of her Basenjis, Blush (Bomabwa Blushing Bride) and Poet (Ch Apu’s Precocious Poet), tight roping between the towers. After 9/11 this drawing became something of an icon, so after receiving requests to reproduce it, she retrieved it Please be sure to send information on current (and past) from the chest in her bedroom and produced a poster of the Twin Towers litters that involve at least one full Avongara parent to Tight Rope drawing with the by-line “never forget”.
