Friday July 12—NOTRA The first official event of the Basenji National Specialty was the National Oval Track Racing Association (NOTRA) Race Meet. Oval Track Racing is an optional part of the Basenji National specialty, but has enjoyed growing interest: with the excitement of a horse race as the dogs break from boxes and juggle rail position through the turns, and are judged purely on who crosses the finish line first. We were S hibaguyz pleased to have a very large entry of 24 starters which resulted in six national points (the most possible) for the High in Meet Basenji. G regory

The refreshed look on guests’ faces when they stepped into the 70-80 degree weather with little humidity and a sunny sky was nice to see!” On the 2013 National “And the wonderful banquet outdoors with a double rainbow over us! Only in the Northwest! Bryan Gregory said “Chuck Bagnell put together one the best catered banquets” in spite of the challenges “outdoors and under the threat of rain.”

Lisa Saban said “the performance events seemed to dominate the National, and spectators were able to see the full versatil- ity of the Basenjis. “I was particularly impressed with Linda 2Siekert’s dogs. They were great performers, but what impressed me most was the relationship between Linda and her dogs, one of mutual respect and caring. The dogs wanted to perform and it was a relation- ship and working partnership that was a real joy to see.” Brenda Phillips also talked about Linda Seikert and her dogs’ performances, “what I find remarkable about both performances is not the skill or ability of the dog—we’ve seen that before. But these dogs are happy and confident while working and the people ringside were saying “I didn’t know that was possible” and “maybe I should try some of that” which is exactly what a national specialty showcase should inspire.” Amen to that, Brenda.
