The Basenji Club of America, Inc. BULLETIN - 4 ADVERTISEMENT Solid Gold Continues to Lead the Way, While other dog food companies follow

In 1975, Solid Gold introduced Hund-n-Flocken, which was one of the fi rst natural dog foods in the United States. Hund-n-Flocken (meaning dog food fl ake in German) had been a top seller in Germany for 20 years.

Solid Gold dog foods contain natural ingredients. Our goal is to provide the highest quality nutrition to our pets. We never use soybeans, wheat, or corn, which some dogs are highly allergic to. They can cause severe skin allergies as well as large vet bills due to hot spots and infections. Instead, we use grains such as amaranth, millet, and barley. We never use beet pulp, which is a commonly used source of fi ber in many other dog foods.

Solid Gold was one of the fi rst to use wild Alaskan salmon. However, in the past few years, government regulatory actions and depletion of natural schools have made it impossible to source enough wild caught salmon. We refuse to use farmed salmon, which are often fed genetically modifi ed foods and can be contaminated with PCBs, so we are now using the very clean menhaden herring in all our dry dog foods. Many of our foods also contain range fed bison, which is an extremely healthy meat being low fat and humanely raised.

It is very important to read the ingredient list on your pet’s foods as you will fi nd many other companies use meat by products, the most common being chicken by-products. Solid Gold never uses meat by-prod- ucts and we only use healthy fats full of omega fatty acids like canola oil, salmon oil, and fl axseed oil.

In addition, our food bags are hermetically sealed with a one way valve that allows air out, but not in. This helps keep our natural foods fresh.

At Solid Gold, we believe in being honest about our ingredients and our practices. We believe in better health through diet and nutrition. We answer to a higher power; that of our dogs and cats who look to us for their well being. They are cherished members of our families and deserve to live long, active lives. We feel feeding your pets Solid Gold will keep your pets happy and healthy.

Cute story….. Did you know that the Ancient Chinese word for eclipse is “Shih”, which means “to eat.” If an eclipse was occurring, the people traditionally beat drums and banged pots to scare off the “heavenly dogs” believed to be devouring the sun.

The Basenji Club of America, Inc. BULLETIN - 13 BEST IN SHOW - Compiled as of May 1, 2010 HALL OF FAME

This Hall of Fame honors all the basenjis that have won Best in Show since the breed was accepted for competition at AKC shows. Any basenji that wins such an honor deserves to be on this list because each dog listed is a representative of the breed. It’s not about who is at the other end of the lead; it’s about the dog and our breed and how it is valued and appreciated not only among the basenji fancy but by the fancy as a whole. The first basenji to go Best in Show in the United States was a bitch, CH Dainty Dancer of Glenairly in 1958 She was followed by two more bitches, CH Lepper’s Nik Nak and CH Lutes Mona Lisa. It wasn’t until the 1968 that the first male basenji earned this honor - CH Betsy Ross’ Kingola of Ber-Vic. A keen eye will spot that Philo’s Blaze of Koko Crater won a Best in Show in Hawaii in 1956 and wonder why he isn’t recognized as the first basenji in the United States to win Best in Show. History was against him, one might say. Hawaii was a territory at that time -- a territory that was admitted into the Union on August 21, 1959 as the 50th state.

The Basenji Club of America, Inc. BULLETIN - 14 Best in Show in Canada Compiled by Jennie Behles, Simone Mullins, Cheryl Myers Egerton & Margaret Robertson

Canada has a rich history in basenjis. The very first basenji star, MBISAKCCKC Ch Dainty Dancer, of Glenairly, was the first basenji to show and win at the Westminster Kennel Club, and also the first Canadian basenji to win a Best in Show both in Canada and the United States. What we know about Dancer is that she is a mischievous little devil as well as beautiful. She was owned by Basenji Club of Canada’s own charter member, Margaret Robertson. This year, the club was fortunate to have Margaret as a speaker on Canadian basenji history at our National Specialty held in conjunction with the Evelyn Kenney Kennel and Obedience Club shows in Calgary, Alberta Canada in July of 2009. Following Dancer’s appearance on the scene, there was a long gap in Canadian basenji Best in Show history before the Canadian Kennel Club began compiling statistics through an outside contractor. These were compiled for the years 1988 through 2004. Following this, the stats have been compiled on an annual basis either by the Canadian Kennel Club and published in Dogs in Canada magazine, or more recently, they were compiled by the Best Dog in Canada. Using these resources, we have compiled statistics to have a record of basenji Best in Show wins from 1998 through 2009. This chart is shown here. Many of the dogs shown on this chart also competed in the United States and were top ranked basenjis in the U.S. Many have Best in Shows in other countries as well as Canada, but the chart reflects only Canadian efforts. This compilation was done in an attempt to preserve Canadian basenji history in the hope that it helps our breed to win more Best in Shows and greater acceptance. The increased wins indicate the increased popularity of the basenji in the show ring in recent years. This seems to have a direct correlation with the improvement of basenji “charm” and temperament.

Several people requested that the health committee take her notes from her talk and share it with everyone.

Submitted by the BCOA Health Committee The breeding rules are the Rasspecifika in Sweden’s small population of basenjis. Breedings are planned so the Avels Stategier (RAS), or Breed-Specific coefficient of inbreeding (COI) is limited for a five-generation Wright’s Breeding Strategies.

We can no longer stand back and watch to see what will in what they do. happen. I think that it is past time to publicly expose the real agenda Ms. Newkirk has very close ties with several groups identified by of the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and their cohorts the FBI as known terrorists groups, such as Animal Liberation Front in crime, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), and the (ALF).

Most of this is having a great time with all the animals that live in our houses. While from donations made by ordinary citizens that don’t know the real work we have been enjoying the love and fun that our animals provide to us, of PETA. Many people think that they are out to save the lives of animals there have been groups out there organizing on a grand scale trying to after seeing all of their ads on TV and in the newspapers.

Some of you may have noticed Indian Nations Basenji Club did Veterans For Exhibition Only not have a Specialty show in 2009. That was not our idea. The local 8 Entries (7 Basenjis 1 Rhodesian Ridgeback) all-breed clubs agreed to disagree which resulted in a game of ‘upset the CH Kibushi Neverminds New World JC 11/15/1994 fruit basket’ with show dates, show combinations and show sites.

July 14, 2010 at 6 pm) Even if BCOA had allowed us the date, with the economy and gas prices, we felt the “down and back” travel requirement between these two long established weekends would impact our entry too much for us to be successful. Rather than take that gamble, we elected to bow out for last year and continue our battle with AKC to allow us a more practical “home” area properly aligned to our current membership and to grant us a distance allowance comparable to other regional type clubs which would once again allow us to join our Combined Specialty group. We are very happy to announce we have just received notice that our application to hold a show with our old Combined Specialties Club at their new location has finally been approved. The Combined Specialties, including INBC, will be held Friday, November 5, 2010 in Joplin, Missouri. Our judges are Linda Ehlers for sweepstakes and Wanda Pooley for regular classes.

AN IDEA FOR FUNDRAISING

The National Specialty always needs fundraising activities.

Here is an idea that is easy to accomplish. Referrals. I am a Coldwell Banker realtor in Colorado. If you know anyone who is buying and/or selling property, refer them to me. Coldwell Banker has a worldwide referral system. Just call me with the name of the person needing a realtor. I will call them and refer them to a realtor in their area. I will donate a portion of the referral commission I receive to the National Specialty or to the Basenji Health Endowment.
