You can visit the National website at http://2012bcoanational.org/ and you can go to the “2012 BCOA National Specialty” Facebook page. All the events for the National have been approved, and the club is looking forward to hosting everyone for a week in July. The last and only time--as far as I know-- that the National was in Pennsylvania was 18 years ago, so we look forward to showing everyone how beautiful the Keystone State is in the summer. The club has been holding many fundraisers to support the National. To start off the MABC sold the VA Federation of Dog Club’s annual dog show calendar in October. It turned out to be a great fundraiser. In November we began our next fundraisers. These holiday season fundraisers generated a lot of money.

The club sold porcelain holiday ornaments in a variety of Basenji designs, packets of beautifully designed Christmas at the Canine Learning Experience in Allentown.

Basenji Club of America, Inc. BULLETIN - 15 Avongara Akua Avongara Akua Evaluations Ballot 2012-09 APPROVED Average Evaluation Score 4.7 Very Good + AKC Approved Basenji Judge Charles Olvis on December 1, 2011 Nice head Nice eye and ear placement Level topline Nice angles front and rear. Good length of neck Legs front and rear straight in my opinion Nice dog overall will help the basenji breeding program Balanced animal Rating 4 Very Good

AKC Approved Basenji-Breeder Judge Marianne Klinkowski on December 12, 2011 Akua is a well-built, dark red male basenji with nice bone, size and substance. He is moderately angulated front and rear and is very nicely balanced. He has a clean front, good length of upper arm and a well crested neck. His movement is free and easy. Akua is off-square and his length is carried in his ribcage rather then his loin. He has a strong back and a level topline. He has a well-proportioned head with good wrinkle, back skull and pigment; dark, dark almond eyes (which could be set a bit more obliquely), small, hooded ears and a show-stopper for me lovely pronounced eyebrow ridges which give his head true basenji character. His tail is set rather high and inclines forward slightly into a full single curl. Akua is a wiggly, friendly boy with a nice temperament and a very charming yodel. His looks, temperament and character are very typical of the breed. Rating 5 Excellent

Long-Time Breeder Stan Carter, DVM on December 30, 2011 Akua is a young, male, import of excellent quality. His temperament is superb; he greeted me with a wag and a yodel throughout his evaluation. I was impressed with his length of leg and excellent angulation, superior to most imports. Akua’s head is very pleasing, with dark eyes and pigmentation, nicely hooded ears (could be set a little higher), and perfect scissor bite. Nice length of neck that transitioned smoothly to his shoulders. Angulation is exceptional and balanced front and rear. Unusually long upper arms, with front legs set well underneath him. Back is longer than ideal, but strong and level. Feet are quite acceptable. Markings are correct, with medium -red coat color. He had nice head carriage when moving and covered ground easily. Topline remained level, with decent reach and drive, and he single-tracked on the down and back. My overall impression is very positive for Akua. He is a nice young male that will only improve with maturity. Superior length of upper arm and excellent angulation make his breeding potential very intriguing. Bred correctly, he could certainly impact and improve our gene pool. Rating 5 Excellent

Erect ears & properly set tail - not as curled as typical in the ring. No doubt she is a basenji - she has the look, size, proportions & markings. She will produce typical puppies bred to show stock. Rating 3 good

AKC Approved Basenji-Breeder Judge Marianne Klinkowski on December 5, 2011 Makala is a sturdy black & white basenji bitch with a glossy pure black coat. She is off-square and a little short on leg, her WRSOLQHULVHVVOLJKWO\WRWKHUHDU+HUERQHLVFOHDQDQG¿QH6KHKDVDGHHSFKHVWZLWKJRRG¿OOLQIURQWDQGDQLFHVKRXOGHUZLWK lovely length of upper arm and a balanced rear with long second thigh and low hocks. She moves smoothly with a ground-covering stride. Her feet are oval but could be tighter. She has a single-curled tail carried tea cup fashion over her back. She has an attractive head with nice wrinkle and her muzzle is shorter than her skull. Her almond shaped, obliquely-set eyes are as dark as they can be and her pigment is excellent. Her ears are small and hooded. she is friendly and exceptionally alert with a great temperament and strong breed character; she is catlike with a soul-stirring yodel. All in all, I believe that Makala is very much a basenji. Rating 3+ Good

Long-Time Breeder Carol Webb on September 25, 2011 Makala is a proper size with good proportions to her head with a nice dark eye. She is a bit wide in front but has proper bone. Her topline is soft and her neck is short. She has a nice layback of upper arm. Her tail has a loose curl but is reasonably set. Her movement is good but a little wide in front as noted above. In my opinion this dog is a basenji. Rating 4 Very Good

AKC Approved Basenji Judge Monica Canestrini on November 20, 2011 “Naziki” is a charming red & white female basenji displaying typical features of the breed ~ correct size, lightly built, nice proportions (only slightly long in loin), distinctive head (muzzle shorter than skull, almond eyes and small slightly hooded ears). She has the basenjis characteristic gait ~ a smooth, swift and tireless trot. I was concerned about her “winter nose” but then saw that the entire nose is etched with black on its borders. Rear needs shorter hock to balance her good front. Naziki has a splendid temperament and overall typey, elegant appearance. it was my pleasure to meet this sweet basenji from Africa.

AKC Approved Basenji Judge Dr. Edna K. Martin on December 25, 2011 Tall, elegant bitch of proper proportions - especially correct shoulders & upper arm. Excellent bladed bone & good feet. Well set ears on correct proportioned head - mouth reverse scissors at this time. Good balance for & aft - excellent coat & color. Clearly typical basenji. Rating 4+ Very Good

AKC Approved Basenji-Breeder Judge Terri Lyddon on December 31, 2011 This girl demonstrates Basenji - like temperament and personality. She also demonstrates sounds like a typical basenji. Her head & wrinkle is very typey for the basenji breed. Her coat is excellent and is in good condition. She moves smoothly and gracefully. She has good balance & color. In my opinion she conforms to the breed standard in temperament & physical attributes. Rating 4 Very Good

Long-Time Breeder A. Tad Brooks on December 29, 2011 My overall impression of this native stock female is that she possesses very good breed type and has a wonderful temperament as well. I am very impressed with the deep quality of this female basenji and believe there is no question of her adding a great deal to the basenji breed’s gene pool. I have given Nilli a Very Good (4) evaluation rating and describe below my reasoning for this rating. Nilli has a gorgeous coat in both texture and length with the proper skin elasticity. Her head type is very nice with proper FXVKLRQLQJVXI¿FLHQWZULQNOHVDQGJRRGSODLQVZLWKDQRWLFHDEOHVWRS1LOOLKDVEHDXWLIXOGHHSDQGGDUNH\HFRORUKRZHYHUWKH shape of her eye should be a bit more almond. Her bite is a bit undershot but could possible correct as she continues to mature, though, that is not likely. She has a nice ear set and leathering although they should be a bit smaller. Nilli’s neck is long, well crested and well set into shoulders. She has a very nice topline with nicely set tail that could be a bit tighter as the standard call for it. Her angulation is correct and moderate, both front and rear. she did show being a bit cow hocked, but it is ever so slight and also could be age related. She stands well on her feet and her pasterns tight and correct. Nilli’s movement is sound with good reach and drive. Clearly she is a basenji bitch with good substance and 18” tall. Again overall I believe this is a wonderful example of an import/native stock and I am excited about her future in our breed. Rating 4 Very Good

Re: Basenji Fanciers of Greater Phoenix Specialty This special CD contains the 2ULJLQDO)RXQGDWLRQ6WRFN Dear Arnieta: WKH)RXQGDWRLQ6WRFNDQG WKH)RXQGDWLRQ6WRFN My comments in regard to judging the Sweepstakes at your Specialty acting as steward for the portion of the program is to say that Direct Descendents I enjoyed it very much. These were excellent shows, I enjoyed the company. I particularly enjoyed my weekend visit with Joy McNulty Two Easy Ways to Order whom I don’t get to see as often as I once did. Two old ladies had a %\0DLO good time catting around in the sun. Generally I thought the quality of %&2$$IULFDQ6WRFN3URMHFW both pups and veterans was very good. c/o Linda Siekert There are three (3) areas upon which I would comment. 10RQWH]XPD'U 1. Rear movement of the dogs: There were some dogs who 7XVFRQ$= could be considered, “too close in the rear” or whose hocks are turned in. I suspect that some of this problem may be and Online: caused by lack of conditioning. 2. Lack of Conditioning. Some of these dogs appeared to not ZZZEDVHQMLRUJ be in top show condition. Because you live in a part of the BCOA Online Store country where there is very hot weather it is hard to do outdoor exercise in 100 degree plus heat. I think some time Please see the website for pricing and more details. and effort should be put into how to work around these high temps on the conditioning issue. Basenjis have a purpose for which they were intended and should be an excellently conditioned physical specimen, and there can be no such thing as, “over-conditioned. Good conditioning often solves other problems which are more apparent in dogs lacking condition. 3. Coat condition. It was interesting that at least in sweeps there were so many reds and white, and so few tri’s, black and whites, and brindles. Many of the coats appeared to be “wheatie.” This may be a lack of stripping out dead coats, or from not conditioning the coats of these dogs when they are bathed. This problem is more evident in the fall. You almost have to keep a dog in good coat condition all the time, even if you’re going to show them periodically, even if it takes a while to get a dog in good condition. Sometimes poor coat condition is a result of poor diet, but I doubt that is the case here. I like all of our babies to shine in the sun.

I particularly enjoyed the opportunity to steward for the regular portion of the show, as I had the best seat in the house. Always feel free to call upon me to do this if you want to, as I don’t mind a bit. I wish you the best of luck in the future.

Sincerely,

Jennie D. Behles
