Jane is the niece and Ra the grand nephew of Khonsu. Khonsu is Katy’s first performance basenji who has
taught her humility and that a sense of humor is paramount when training for competition. Jane’s intensity
and focus on what she wants makes her a formidable competitor when she decides to work with the team
captain. Ra is up and coming in his training in a completely positive program, and shows great promise in his
adolescence. All three generations exemplify the grace, agility and intelligence of basenjis in companion and
performance events. (Cover photos: Jane & Khonsu by Steve Bull, Sirius Photography; Photo on left: Khonsu, by Kenneth Reed Photography)

PRESIDENT’SMESSAGE
“I am deeply grateful to the
Basenji Club of America for the
wonderful opportunity given me to serve
as President. I am indebted to the
many hard working volunteers
who have done so much for the
Club. It has been an honor
O
ur AKC delegate Jon Curby reported at the BCOA Annual
Meeting in Manitowoc that AKC
efforts to stem the decline in registrations
have had little if any effect.
Registrations have decreased steadily
since the mid-nineties. A whopping one million dollars of income was lost in the first
half of this year. Since income from registrations subsidizes all other AKC activities,
major changes loom ahead. One big change
has already been made. The American Kennel Club Gazette has become an online only
publication, a savings of almost $500,000 a
year.
Contrast the AKC’s challenges with
the BCOA’s. The BCOA is not in the business of registration. Mercifully, we are not in
business at all. We do not have to meet a
weekly payroll. Our future depends not on
financial profits but on sound financial practices. That’s a very big difference. We are a
club with dues-paying members and with a
Treasurer, Budget committee and Board of
Directors who I am happy to tell you have
demonstrated rigorous financial responsibility by completing their budget planning on
time both this year and last year. Good for
them! Our job isn’t to make money. Our
mission is about Basenjis, unique living,
thriving dogs, their good health and their future in a rapidly changing world. We use the
limited resources we have – the dues you pay
and the volunteer work you contribute to
pursue that mission.
We can hardly be indifferent to the
harsh difficulties facing the AKC.We are part
of the AKC world. But we can certainly be
to serve you.”
grateful that we are not similarly burdened.
Gratitude, in fact, is an appropriate response and a healthy practice all around. At
a time when the BCOA is enjoying important advances on several fronts, advances in
health and education that are substantive and
strengthening, gratitude is a grown-up way
of viewing our world.
We are grateful for the DNA Direct
test announced in August 2011, a victory in our decades-old battle against the
curse of Fanconi. Thank you to Gary Johnson. Thank you to the Basenji Health Endowment. We are grateful for the matching
funds the BCOA’s national specialty auction
generated for the BHE for future health research. We are grateful to our Health committee members who have contributed so
much to health research including keeping
us informed and knowledgeable. Thank you
to all for contributing to this breath-taking
advance in Basenji health. Now let’s focus
with fresh enthusiasm on PRA and the other
illnesses that still threaten our basenjis.
We are grateful for the success of the
recently instituted judge’s selection
process. We also applaud the standard set for
qualifications for members willing to mentor
judges. It is in our basenji’s best interests to
have the most knowledgeable mentors our
breed can develop.

Pamela Geoffroy, President
We are especially grateful for the progress made in every area of media.
Interim Editor Kim Noyes lowered the cost
of producing the BCOA Bulletin while increasing its quality. She richly deserves the
Unsung Hero Award she received this year.
We are grateful for her service.
Thank you to Jackie Jones. Under her
editorship Bulletin Board Newsletters have
given us unprecedented volumes of timely
club information in an attractive format.
Want to know what was going on in the
BCOA this year, last year and before? Want
to know the true story? The hard data is on
Basenji.org. It is contained in the Archive of
Bulletins, Bulletin Boards and Ballots. That’s
where you can get your facts.
Basenji.org has expanded enormously,
is frequently updated and has a News section, polls and tons of photos that change
on a regular basis. Its features are as varied
as the 2010 and 2011 Annual Membership
Meetings Power Point presentations, a handy
roster in a members-only section with log-in
and the Basenji University.
The challenge is to keep up. We make
every effort to highlight important news and
information but so much has been added to
our store of knowledge that communication
itself has grown more complex. Be assured,
however, that spending time visiting basenji.
org and its many and diverse offerings will
surprise, inform and we hope deepen your
commitment to our beautiful basenji.
I am deeply grateful to the Basenji Club
of America for the wonderful opportunity
given me to serve as President. I am indebted
to the many hard working volunteers who
have done so much for the Club. It has been
an honor to serve you.
I am confident you will extend generous support to our incoming 2012 president,
Carrie Jones. Carrie, her fellow officers and
board need our active support. Let’s give
them our best efforts. Thank you.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
To the BCOA Editor,
n the July/Aug/Sept issue I
inquired about the Probably
Clear now containing one mutated gene.The following was part of
the answer:
“It has always been possible for a
dog reported as Probably Clear/Normal to have a mutated marker. It is
unclear how the idea, that a Probably
Clear/Normal pattern had to have
only all normal markers, originated.”
First, why was the general membership (and all basenji people interested in the test) not informed of this
in the beginning?
The idea came for several reasons. First, it seemed that common
sense would dictate that all markers
should be clear. Second, we (the general public) were NEVER told that
there could be a mutated marker in
the mix of Probably Clear/Normal
results. And third, there was a chart
I
on the BCOA web site showing the
Probably Clear as having all normal
markers. I have not seen any chart
that showed a mutated gene in the
results for Probably Clears.
This information was only recently circulated and then confirmed by
Dr. Johnson in his talk at the National. At this writing, the general
membership still doesn’t have this
information as well as the information about retesting.WHY?

by them at that time. When the
Health and Research (HRC)
committee learned more about
the inheritance patterns of the

new knowledge with the fancy

Report on the 2011 National
AKC Parent Club
CA N I N E H E A LT H C O N F E R E N C E
By Katherine Scott MD
The American Kennel Club Canine Health Foun-
elucidation of the canine and human genome.
Many of the subsequent talks focused on dog genetics and specific diseases, including a fascinating talks by Dr.
Mark W. Neff on Dog Genetics and the Mammalian Mind,
Dr. Arleigh Renolds on Coping with Stress: Nutritional Approaches to Enhanced Immune Function, Dr. Albert Jergens
on Advances in Diagnosis and Treatment of Canine IBD, Dr.
Jaime Modiano on Recent Progress in Molecular Genetics of Cancer and Challenges Ahead, Dr. Matthew Breen on
Comparative Cytogenetics of Cancer, Just How Human Are
Our Dogs?, and more. Much of the focus was on cancer,
and the comparative reseach involving canine and human
cancers, but additional topics included Dr. Joan Coates of
the University of Missouri, Columbia discussing Canine Degenerative Myelopathy: A Translational Medicine Approach
to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis - Lou Gehrig’s Disease and
Dr. Kathy Meurs of North Carolina State University on
What We Know about the Inheritance of Dilated Cardiomyopathy, Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy
and Subaortic Stenosis in the Dog.
Saturday evening, the attendees attended a Conference
Dinner at the the Purina Event Center at Purina Farms. The
event center is a lovely new facility, with thoughtful amenities like handler changing rooms, electricity to accommodate more than 140 grooming spaces, and a 45,000 squarefoot main exhibition space featuring custom-textured, sport
flooring padded for optimal comfort and safety. For those
of us prone to falling in the ring, that alone is a wonderful
feature.
The final day of the conference featured breakout sessions, where the attendees could meet in small groups and
discuss topics with some of the presenters that interested
them the most. I attended sessions with Drs. Modiano and
Bell. Dr. Modiano and the group discussed ways of increasing
funding for comparative research. Dr. Bell focused on specific breeding advice for dealing with inherited diseases. Dr.

dation 2011 National Parent Club Canine Health
Conference was held in St. Louis Missouri on
August 12–14, 2011, in partnership with the
Nestlé Purine PetCare Company.
I
t was the 8th biannual National Parent Club Canine
Health Conference with sixteen years of successfully
funding 555 research projects at 88 Universities and Research Institutions around the globe, plus numerous educational programs totaling $34 million. I was among the over
200 attendees including representatives of National Breed
Clubs, veterinary students, practicing and retired veterinarians and physicians, basic science researchers and more; all
canine health advocates of the Fancy.
In recognition of 2011 being declared World Veterinary
Year in celebration of the 250th anniversary of the veterinary
profession, veterinary education and comparative biology,
the conference began with an excellent talk on the History
of Veterinary Medicine and Canine Research by Dr. Donald
F. Smith of Cornell University. He described the progress of
modern veterinary medicine in the U.S. beginning in the
Civil War, through the founding of veterinary colleges in major cities, the era of the land-grant, agricultural-oriented veterinary colleges focused on a rural-based profession focused
on farm animals and public health, into the modern era. For
most of the history of veterinary medicine, companion animals were not a high priority. Prior to WWII, there was a
closer collaboration between medical schools and veterinary
schools in the large cities, and aseptic surgical techniques,
comparative physiology and pathology of dogs crept into
veterinary clinical medicine from the medical schools. Dr.
Smith noted it was not until the last two decades of the 20th
century that major foundations, corporations and individual
donors began to devote substantial resources for companion
animal research, and despite the fact that over 80% of our
veterinarians today are involved in some aspect of companion animal medicine, over 80% of government-sponsored
research goes to disease of production and farm animals and
public health. His talk concluded, noting that in addition
to contemporary canine research promoting the humananimal bond, there has been an enormous step forward with
the advent of molecular biology and genetics, including the

Fanconi Syndrome
By Lisa Auerbach
On September 12, 2011, Dr. Gary Johnson publicly announced the identification in his
laboratory of a genetic mutation that causes Fanconi Syndrome.
A
t the same time, he announced the availability of a
new DNA direct test for the disease.The new direct
DNA test, which is done through OFA (as was the
old linked marker test), had already started to be used on
August 29, 2011, after Dr. Johnson became confident the
genetic mutation had been identified.
What will change? The new test tests for the mutation
itself, not for markers linked to the mutation. Thus, the terminology associated with results will change. The linked
marker results were given as probably clear/normal, probably
carrier, probably affected, and indeterminate. The new test
results will be clear/normal, carrier, or affected. The word
“probably” will no longer appear, and there will no longer
be an indeterminate category.
Dr. Johnson is recommending that all breeding stock be
retested with the new DNA direct test. The new direct test
can now be ordered from OFA, and the old test is no longer
available. The direct test will cost $65 for a new test, with the
option, starting November 1, of a price of $50 for retests. For
retests, the Basenji Health Endowment will pay the other
$15.
In reporting his research laboratory’s work to the
BCOA, Dr. Johnson emphasized the work done by Ms. Fabiana Farias, who will receive her doctorate this winter with
her work on Fanconi Syndrome as an integral part of her
PhD thesis. Dr. Johnson also made a point of noting the contributions of Jon Curby, who he described as having “played
an essential role in all aspects of the research.”
At the Nationals, Dr. Johnson reviewed the history of
his work with Fanconi. His first Fanconi grant was from the
AKC Canine Health Foundation, with matching funds from
the Basenji Club of America and the Basenji Health Endowment. Subsequent work was supported by the Basenji Health
Endowment and the AKC Canine Health Foundation. The
last part of the research was funded by the University of Missouri with a $50,000 Mizzou Advantage Grant.
Samples from affected dogs and their relatives were used
to help identify the approximate location of the mutation, by
using marker assays. In 2007, these assays yielded results indi-

cating a location on chromosome 3. Dr. Johnson was asked
by BCOA and BHE if he could make available an interim
test for Basenji breeders for the 2007 breeding season. At
that time, Dr. Johnson, through the OFA offered a linked
marker test as an interim aid to Basenji breeders when planning litters to try and avoid producing Fanconi Syndrome
affected puppies.
The next step was a whole genome sequence from an
affected Basenji, to compare to the known Boxer genome.
This led to the identification of a 370 base pair deletion in
a gene on canine chromosome 3 that Dr. Johnson and his
group believe is the gene associated with Basenji Fanconi
Syndrome. Dr. Johnson believes Fanconi Syndrome is the
first canine inherited disease whose gene has been identified
with whole genome sequencing.
The Fanconi story is not yet finished – Dr. Johnson is
interested in studying how the mutation causes disease, in
hopes of providing treatments or preventative measures that
might delay onset or lessen severity of disease.

A
chromosome is a visible carrier of genetic information.1 Each chromosome may contain hundreds to
thousands of genes and each gene may have multiple varieties; these variants are called alleles. Every individual inherits one allele from each parent, therefore each
individual has a pair of alleles for every gene. If the sire contributes allele A and the dam contributes allele A, the gene
pair is homozygous (AA). If the sire contributes allele A and
the dam contributes allele B, the gene pair is heterozygous
(AB). In truth, there are potentially many different alleles for
genes, created through mutations or trading of genetic material during cell division; these allele differences are the basis
of genetic diversity.
Examples: The gene for basenji eye color variations may
have, but is not limited to, the following alleles which either
the sire or the dam can contribute (plus or minus modifiers):
dark brown, light brown, dark hazel, light hazel. The gene
for tail curl variations may have, but not be limited to, the
following alleles (plus or minus modifiers): loose curl, tight
curl, semi curl, one curl, double curl, while the gene for red
coat variations may have, but not be limited to, the following
alleles (plus or minus modifiers): paper bag brown, pale red,
light red, medium red, dark chestnut red.
The first successful importation of what became known
in the western world as the Basenji occurred in 19362,
the first litter born outside of Africa, June 19363. The first
written standard was approved in 19424, six years after the
original importers began breeding and selecting for specific
traits they personally found desirable, though not necessarily
commonplace in the source population. Unfortunately, the
Basenji Club of America, Inc. Bulletin (OCT/NOV/DEC ‘11) original founders sacrificed tremendous amounts of genetic
diversity in those first few generations due to their concentration on developing consistency of desired traits through
heavy inbreeding.
Using the previously cited examples, let’s say the original founders concentrated on dark hazel eyes, tight tail curl
and a dark chestnut red coat by breeding phenotype (physical appearance) to phenotype creating a standardized type,
i.e. breeding for homozygosity of these three characteristics.
By the end of the third generation of breeding, they created
their most desired basenji, but at what potential cost?
Let’s look. By focusing on breeding phenotype (dark hazel to dark hazel, tight tail curl to tight tail curl, dark chestnut
red to dark chestnut red), the following different alleles have
potentially been lost: dark brown, light brown, light hazel,
large loose curl, small loose curl, one curl, double curl, paper bag brown, pale red, light red, and medium red. No big
deal right, since they have created the ideal basenji by culling
these (to some) undesirable traits? Two words - genetic linkage. Genetic linkage occurs when certain alleles of different
genes, which are physically close to each other, are inherited
together.
For the sake of discussion only, let’s also say the following different genes are linked and are inherited together: the
PRA gene is linked to eye color; the HA gene is linked to
tail curl and the Fanconi gene is linked to the variations of
the red coat color.
To break it down further, we’ll also say light brown and
dark hazel eye color are linked with the allele PRA carrier,
while dark brown and light hazel eye color are linked with

Do we want to preserve genetic diversity, not only for future generations of fanciers,
but for the long term viability of our unique breed, or do we just want to breed

the allele PRA clear. Tight curl, semi curl
and one tail curl are linked with the allele
HA clear; loose curl and double tail curl are
linked with allele HA carrier and lastly paper
bag brown and medium red are linked with
the allele Fanconi clear leaving pale red, light
red, and dark chestnut red linked with the
allele Fanconi carrier.
Now let’s go back and look at those
‘perfect’ basenjis our founders created in the
first few generations of inbreeding: dark hazel
eyes (PRA carrier), tight tail curl (HA clear)
and a dark chestnut coat (Fanconi carrier).
Another way of looking at it would be - by
breeding away from a light hazel eye or paper
bag brown coat color, we could inadvertently
breed towards PRA or Fanconi or any number of maladies not yet known to the breed.
The tradeoff? Perfect, cookie cutter, to the
standard, homozygous basenjis!?
Angela Hughes, DVM, Ph.D, Veterinary
Geneticist reports, “Studies demonstrate that
decreased genetic diversity in a canine population negatively impacts litter size, puppy viability, nurturing, libido, skeletal uniformity
and health.”5
In order to create a line of dogs that consistently produce a standardized type, breeders have selected for homozygosity through
Basenji Club of America, Inc. Bulletin (OCT/NOV/DEC ‘11) heavy in or line breeding which focuses on
perpetuating a few desired ancestral genes. Lines are preserved by continually breeding
closely related dogs, some of whom have inbreeding coefficient’s greater than 50%, while
occasionally dipping into other lines with
similarly high inbreeding coefficient’s, in the
belief this occasional “outcross” is what creates and maintains genetic diversity. However, any ensuing offspring could have similarly high inbreeding coefficients based on
the same genes on both sides doubling up.
The Inbreeding Coefficient (IC) determines (as a percentage) the probability of two
identical alleles being passed down from an
individual’s ancestors. The higher the IC, the
greater the chance of identical alleles (homozygosity), the lower the IC, the greater the
chance of different alleles (heterozygosity).
Example: Breeding a Dalmatian to a Pointer,
two breeds who have very similar structural
phenotype, would have a very low IC (~0%)
due to their not having any common ancestors from which to inherit the same allele.
This is why the Dalmatian Backcross project
worked.6 If genetic diversity is dependent
on unrelated alleles, then low IC’s, which encourage gene differences, would seem quite
necessary for a breed’s long term viability;
wildlife conservationists, who deal with very
limited captive gene pools, select breeding
pairs in such a way as to produce low IC’s
whenever possible.7
The answer to genetic diversity with a
small gene pool like the basenji is not the
perpetuation of individual lines with high
IC’s, while occasionally dipping into another
line, because we are dipping into the same
ancestral gene pool each time. Closely related
parents will only increase the IC of their offspring, not decrease it to a more desirable genetically diverse IC of less than 10%. If wildlife conservationist’s goals are to maintain
genetic diversity by creating offspring with
low ICs, shouldn’t we do the same, especially
since our breed has the ability to do so?
Basenji breeders currently have the
unique opportunity to go to the source pop-
ulation and bring back potential founders. Jo
Thompson, Ph.D wrote about the importance native stock has in maintaining genetic
diversity for the 2008 BCOA Native Stock
Studbook Petition used to encourage the
AKC to again open the AKC Studbook to
imported stock;
“Sound population genetics suggests
that an effective population size could require as many as 300 unrelated individuals in
order to have a population large enough to
maintain normal amounts of additive genes to
retain 95 percent heterozygosity for 100 years.
[emphasis added]”8
This is still a relevant passage, and will
be until such time as the breed fancy is able
to procure a significant number of unrelated
individuals from Africa, access to the source
population is no longer obtainable, or the
AKC closes the Studbook once and for all.
Do we want to preserve genetic diversity, not only for future generations of fanciers, but also for the long term viability of our
unique breed, or do we just want to breed
those picture perfect, cookie cutter show
dogs? A tough question but one that need
not be either/or in my opinion; breeders
can still breed for desirable and homozygous
physical traits via two minimally related phenotypical dogs with low IC’s (10% or less)
thereby maintaining important genetic diversity while creating standardized type.
The most important lessons I learned
when I first began to consider breeding were
a) do no harm and b) leave the breed better than I found it; producing closely related,
uber-type basenjis at the cost of diminishing
genetic diversity fulfills neither lesson.

Should We Breed with Carriers?
by Cathryn Mellersh | Animal Health Trust | November 2011
What Is a Carrier?
‘Carrier’ is the term given to an individual (of any species)
that carries a single copy of a recessive mutation that is associated with a specific inherited condition, usually an inherited disorder. An individual will only suffer from a recessive
disorder if it inherits two copies of the causal mutation, one
from each parent. If it inherits a single copy of the mutation,
it will remain healthy but will pass the mutation on to about
half of its offspring.
Breeding with Carriers
Once a specific disease mutation has been identified, a DNA
test can be developed that enables the identification of nonsymptomatic carriers. Knowing which dogs carry the mutation and which don’t (the so-called ‘clear’ dogs) enables
breeders to make sensible choices about the dogs they mate
together. Breeding dogs that will never develop the condition should obviously be the priority for all conscientious
breeders and the desire to eliminate a disease-associated mutation from a breed should, therefore, be the long-term goal.
But the instinct to choose only clear dogs to breed from, as
soon as a DNA test becomes available, may not always be a
sensible choice and the rest of this document discusses why.
If carriers are prevented from the breeding, the opportunity to pass the rest of their genetic material to the next
generation is also lost and the genetic diversity of the remaining population is thus reduced. It is worth remembering that there is a clear and well-established link between the
genetic diversity of a population and its overall health, and
that breeding closely related individuals tends to lead to the
accumulation of deleterious recessive mutations in the population. This is due to the fact that an individual is more likely
to inherit two identical copies of a mutation if its parents
share common ancestors than if they are unrelated, and the
more common ancestors the parents share the greater that
chance is.
It is also worth remembering that the disease mutation
for which there is a DNA test is not the only mutation a carrier has. Every human, on average, carries about 50 recessive
mutations and there is no reason to believe the average dog
won’t carry a similar number. So the only real difference
between a clear and a carrier is the single mutation that can
be tested for. Both dogs will both carry around 49 other
mutations that the breeder doesn’t know about and can’t test
for. If carriers are not bred from and clear dogs are used extensively, then there is a real risk that other mutations will increase in frequency in the breed and new inherited disease(s)
could emerge.
Basenji Club of America, Inc. Bulletin (OCT/NOV/DEC ‘11) There is no reason why the eventual elimination of a
disease mutation from a breed shouldn’t be the goal, once a
DNA test for that mutation becomes available. But, providing all breeding dogs are tested for the mutation prior to mating, the breeders can take their time and ensure that desirable
traits are not eliminated along with the disease mutation and
that the genetic diversity of the breed is not reduced.
Mutation Frequency
The speed with which the mutation can be eliminated
depends on several factors, including the frequency of the
mutation, the population structure and the rate of inbreeding for that breed. The more frequent the mutation is the
more slowly it should be eliminated. Calculating the true
frequency of a mutation is not trivial, and requires a random
subset of a breed be screened. Dogs that are tested once a
commercial DNA test becomes available are not always representative of the breed as a whole, and similarly cohorts of
dogs that have been sampled by a research institute during
development of the DNA test are also rarely characteristic
of the breed.
The frequency of a mutation is typically expressed as
the fraction of chromosomes in a population that carry the
mutation. For example, if the frequency of a mutation is
described as 0.1, this means that 10% of the chromosomes in
that breed carry the mutation and the remaining 90% carry
the normal copy of DNA. If 10% of the chromosomes carry
the mutation, then just under 20% of dogs are expected to be
carriers and about 1% of dogs will be affected.
Breeding Advice
Carriers should always be included in the first one to two
generations that follow the launch of a DNA test for a recessive mutation, regardless of the frequency of the mutation, to
give breeders the opportunity to capture desirable traits, such
as breed type and temperament, before they start to select
for dogs that are clear of the mutation. Specific breeding
policy for future generations should be breed-dependent and
ideally formulated after consideration of factors such as the
population structure and rate of inbreeding. But in general
terms, carriers should only be removed from the breeding
population if the frequency of the mutation is below 1%,
as this will mean only around 2% of dogs will be prevented
from breeding. Avoiding carriers of a mutation that is more
frequent will result in a greater number of dogs being prevented from breeding and could lead to a detrimental loss of
diversity for the breed.

It all started with BCOA member, Laura Gilchrist’s email to a chat list,
asking a simple question, “Does anyone know why the BCOA was picketing,
Jack Griffin, Sun-Times writer, and the Sun-Times Building on February 27, 1964.
I saw some photos on eBay from the picket.”
Chicago Sun-Times BCOA Picket
History Detective
By Linda Daves Siekert, CVT
C
urious, I visited eBay and ended up buying some of
the featured negatives; at twelve bucks a pop who
could resist owning a little, and seemingly unique,
piece of basenji history? Not me. But what story were they
telling? No one seemed to know. An avid fan of the PBS
show History Detectives, I set out on a personal quest to find
out about the Great Basenji Picket of 1964.
My first thought, how hard could it be? We’re talking
the Chicago Sun-Times; a major newspaper, in a major city.
This should take just a few minutes, maybe a few dollars,
and voila; famous last words. I “googled” every variation,
every combination I could think of using the words Jack
Griffin, Sun-Times, and basenji, to no avail. I tried to find
Sun-Times archival records online; they didn’t go back far
enough. Desperate, I contacted the 2011 Sun-Times Photo
Editor for ideas; another dead end despite a nice reply saying
“Sorry.” and “Good luck.”
Now what? I went back to Google and tried another
101 variations of Jack Griffin, basenji, picket. Nothing. I
contacted a few BCOA members who were members in
1964. Nothing. Deflated, I went back to the chat list Laura originally posted and discovered a few members of the
BCOA fancy were throwing out some ideas as to what the
picket could pertain to and who the people in the photographs might be. One name kept coming up, a name I was
familiar with, whom I had contact with in 1999 when I was
planning my first litter, Alice Bair of Sashalia basenjis. Now I
just needed to find her.
A hoarder of emails, I queried my computer and was
able to locate an email address, albeit 11 years old. I had
nothing to lose so I sent her an email. Nothing. So back to
Google where I was able to find what I hoped was a current mailing address; I printed the email, snail mailed it and
waited.
Hello, I have purchased some old 2x2 photo negatives of the Basenji
Dog Club of America picketing Jack Griffin, Sun-Times writer, and
the Sun-Times Building on Feb. 27, 1964. Several people thought
Basenji Club of America, Inc. Bulletin (OCT/NOV/DEC ‘11) they saw you in the pictures. Any chance you could shed some light
on the reason why you all were picketing? Thanks.
While waiting, hoping, praying for a reply, I revisited Google
once again. This time my focus was in trying to find antique collectors who collect vintage newspapers. After what
seemed like hours, I finally emailed a person who I thought
might be the most helpful, and he was. While he did not collect the kind of newspaper I was looking for, he turned me
on to the Library of Congress, online. A bit intimidating at
first, I soon learned for the right price, there are people willing to scour the Library tombs for anything and everything.
After a few emails to learn the ropes, I put in an order for
one newspaper article featuring basenjis, their owners and
some picket signs. It could take up to 8 weeks to see if I
scored a hit.
In the meantime, a reply from Alice; while Alice herself
was not in attendance due to being out of state, she was
notified of the picket. Apparently Mr. Griffin had not been
very complimentary towards basenjis, due to their inability
to bark, in a previous column. Richard and Helene Butchas,
of Willow West basenjis where Alice purchased her first basenji, engineered a picket of the Sun-Times building and the
rest, as they say, is history.
Terrific! Thanks to Alice I had another avenue to pursue, which is exactly what I told her in my follow up thank
you letter. Back to Google, now I was looking for anything
related to Richard and Helen Butchas, Willow West basenjis.
Sadly Richard Butchas passed away in 1985, his wife Helene
in 2007. The online obituary for Helene did yield a few
email addresses for three of their children. Would their email
addresses still be valid, four years later? I decided to drop
them a line; an hour later a reply.
Linda, I will talk to the other siblings and find out details for you.
Since we were all so young at the time, I was just born in 1964, and
my eldest sibling in 1961, we will not have very clear memories of
the situation, just what was repeated to us. 19 www.basenji.org
HISTORY DETECTIVE (Continued)
Picket photos from the negatives purchased on eBay.
(Photos by Gene Pesek)
I do know that my mom and dad were heavily involved in breeding
Basenjis at that time, and that they were indeed involved in that picket. We
talked about it a lot. They also did a show with the Basenjis to show people
how smart they were. One of our Basenjis played the piano on the show. I will
look through what I have, but unfortunately a lot of our memories were lost in
a fire in 1968.
I would love to get copies of anything that you have.
I myself keep in touch with the Basenji rescue websites. It is my dream to
one day own a Basenji again. The timing just hasn’t been right until recently.
Incredible! I immediately sent along photo copies of the negatives
where Maria was able to identify her parents in several. With promises
of actual copies, and updates of anything I learn from the Library of
Congress, I once again set about waiting.
A few weeks later, just as I started to forget, pay dirt! The researchers at the Library of Congress were able to locate the article which featured a few of the pictures Laura and I had purchased. Sadly the quality
of the reprint was not the best though thankfully it was legible. After
taking it all in, I realized there was still one missing piece, hinted at in
the reprint; the original piece that set the whole picket into motion.
Hmmm, back to the Library.....

A transcription of the editorial, about the picket,
that was printed in the Sun-Times.
Editorial
Chicago Sun-Times, Friday, February 28, 1964
We Were Picketed
The Sun-Times has aroused the
passions of a special interest group.
We have offended, for mercy’s
sake, the devoted breeders and
lovers of a type of dog known as–
hold it now–the “basenji.”
The instrument of this grave
offense was one Jack R. Griffin,
a gentle sort of man who writes
knowingly about ungentle sports,
such as hockey, for the Sun-Times.
On Tuesday Griffin wrote less
than two score lines of mild fun
about a man who owns a basenji,
an African hunting dog, famous
for its inability to bark.
We were picketed.
By the champions of the “Barkless, odorless, intelligent, witty,
fun-loving, property-conscious”
basenji—(preceding characteristics furnished by basenji owners).
The basenji is an old type of dog.
It reputedly did its non-barking in
the palaces of the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt. It has been recently
introduced, so our dictionary says,
to the United States as a pet. It
doesn’t bark but it does manage
some vocal acrobatics with yipes,
yodels and growls.
We regret that the advocates
of the terrier-like African dog are
angry. But we don’t think Griffin’s story was unreasonable; he
just happens to like a dog that
goes RRRUUUFFF at frequent
intervals. Sports writers are apt to
be like that. And when a basenji
owner claims, as did the one in
Griffin’s story, that a basenji is a
“rare, fine thing because it cannot
bark,” Griffin has the right to hold
the opinion (as we do) that such a
quality would be a good thing in
a woman but what is so wonderful
about it in a dog?

Chicago Sun-Times, Friday, February 28, 1964
Our Jack Barks For The Basenjis
In last Tuesday’s column, Jack R.
Griffin reflected on the inability of the basenji hound to bark.
This touched a tender spot in
basenji lovers who descended on
The Sun-Times with a picket line
Thursday noon. This is Griffin’s
account or his hour with the basenji pickets.
BY JACK R. GRIFFIN
It’s terrifying, I mean all those basenjis just standing there, staring
reproachfully at you, and not saying a word.
Look I didn’t really...well all I
said in last Tuesday’s column was
basenjis can’t bark.
I still insist that’s fine quality in
a wife, but I had to compound the
matter and reflect publicly that
it might have a lesser value in a
dog. And no matter what else you
heard, a basenji is a dog.
That tore the hole in the dike.
They took to the quill. And they
came from Wisconsin and Indiana and Illinois, basenji lovers had
arisen.
And I couldn’t get into the SunTimes and Daily News Building
Thursday because there were all
these silent, reproachful basenjis
marching up and down, dragging
basenji lovers behind them.
They carried picket signs proclaiming such retaliatory remarks
as “Jack Griffin Is Unfair to Basenjis” and “This Is a Basenji, Not a
Doughnut.”
Now I never came right out
and said...
“Maybe basenjis can’t bark,”
said Mrs. Clyde Sweet of 4045
Marshall, Gary “but they’re not
mute. They yodel.”
They what?
“They yodel,” Mrs. Sweet repeated. “When you come home at
night they meet you at the door
and they yodel.”
I suppose after a hard day at the
office if you came home and there
was basenji yodeling in Congolese
at you it might splash up the evening.
“And Amber plays the piano,”
said someone back in the pack
of pickets.
Who in the world is Amber?
“Amber is a basenji,” came the
sharp and clear reply, “that plays
the piano.”
Oh, come on now. Let’s try to
keep this thing on...
“Basenjis,” said Richard Butcha
of Willow Springs, “roamed the
halls of the Pharaohs of ancient
Egypt. They were aristocrats then,
as they are aristocrats now.”
Nobody suggested that...
“They are one of the oldest
breeds of dogs known to man,”
said Butcha. “Even back to prehistory, they stood by the side of
man. And you had to....
No, I did not. I just made that
one crack and now I want...
“They lived for centuries in the
darkest of Africa — in the Congo
and Sudan,” said Butcha. “And
they were a friend of man there.”
OK, OK. I know about that. I
just want to...
“Look at that,” said Butcha, and
he pointed to 3 year-old Jonathan
Carroll of Lyons, who was as reproachful and as silent as the basenji by his side.
Master Carroll was struggling
in the cold wind with a sign that
poignantly proclaimed: “I Love
My Basenji.”
“Doesn’t that get to you?” said
Butcha.
Sure it does. And I want to...
“How can you look at a little
fellow like that — the basenji, I
mean,” said Butcha, “and not have
your heart go out to him? How
could you do what you did?”
Well I never really …
“Did you want to say something?” asked Butcha. “Speak up.”
Yes, I do. I want to say that I
love all the basenjis in the world,
including The Congo and the Upper Sudan. And furthermore…
“Did you learn anything about
basenjis today?” asked Butcha.
I certainly did. I know one
thing surely: Maybe basenjis can’t
bark, but their owners’ sure can.
I accept defeat. I, too, can love a
basenji.
Curly-tailed basenjis give the silent treatment to Sun-Times writer Jack Griffin as he explains
there was nothing personal in his comments on the non barking species. (Special thanks to BCOA
member, Laura Gilchrist for providing this photo to the Bulletin.)

THE GREAT
OUTDOORS
Dog Without A Bark? You Can Have Him
BY JACK R. GRIFFIN
There was this guy who had a
basenji, which is not catching although it is rather rare. A basenji
is an African hound which cannot
talk.
“No, no,” the man said, “you
do not understand. Dogs do not
talk.”
What do you mean dogs don’t
talk? They had one on television
the other night that would have
spellbound Zsa Zsa Gabor. Pierre
the expensive poodle talks. It’s just
that I don’t understand French and
we never get together.
“Talking I’m not talking about,”
the man said. “A basenji is a rare,
fine thing because it cannot bark.”
What’s so wonderful about
them? Now, that might be a pretty
good invention for wives, but I
can’t see where it has any value for
dogs.
Let’s look at it this way: You
come home and the dog comes
out to meet you, and what do you
expect? You expect him to wag
his tail and bark, that what you expect. A dog without a bark, is like
a doughnut without a hole in the
center.
The guy left. I suppose he was
angry. What a way to start the day.
A transcription of Jack Griffin’s original article - which set the whole thing in motion.

Tension was mounting as the last basenji class of the day began.
Six basenjis were left to run: Rusty, Whistler, Miranda, Chili, Arrow and Bakari.

in danger of blowing away.

Then the big class of Open Standard 16inch dogs ran with seven basenjis in this class.
Everyone thought Whistler and Jeff would
qualify but with the refusal at the last jump
and a time of 7 seconds over the course time,
their score was 81. You need an 85 to earn a
qualifying score (Q). By this time, the wind
was picking up, causing more distractions for
the basenjis. The only other basenji to almost
qualify was Arrow. Susan and Arrow ran only
5 seconds over time, but Arrow refused the
first and last jumps making their score 80.
Maybe if his Mom had watched him instead
of the timer, things would have turned out
differently. LOL!
Tension was mounting as the last basenji

to run: Rusty, Whistler, Miranda, Chili, Arrow and Bakari. By this time, the wind was

he had to go over to the Manitowoc Expo
for obedience. Arrow ran well with one fault
but unfortunately his time was too slow. The
next closest almost qualifier was Rusty and
Basenji Club of America, Inc. Bulletin (OCT/NOV/DEC ‘11) Jan with good speed at 2.25 yards per second,
but unfortunately they had 3 refusals and you
are allowed only one in the open class.
So with 20 runs of basenjis there was
one qualifying team, Jada and Jan Cook!
Thank goodness we had a basenji to give
all the awards to! Jan was in a hurry to get
home so she didn’t take a picture with Jada
and all the “loot”. By the way, Arrow did earn
a leg in Beginning Novice A obedience later
that day.
Carol Kuna also ran her 8 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Boston, in the agility trial. Boston qualified in both his runs on
Saturday, but knocked down a bar on Sunday.
Of the ten basenjis entered in agility, all
but three were also entered in Obedience
and/or Rally. Basenjis are such intelligent
dogs! Just get out there and train and have
fun.

ASFA Trial
AND JC Tests
By Karla Schreiber, Field Trial Chair • Photos by George Woodard
A heartfelt “thank you” to everybody who worked at or attended the BCOA 2011 National Specialty
ASFA trial and JC tests! We were blessed with decent weather (nothing fell from the sky, at any
rate!) and a gaggle of great-running hounds.
T
hirty-six Basenjis participated in
the ASFA event, and ten earned
both legs of their JC titles. Our
Best in Event was a repeat from 2010 –
Sue and Bob Joyner’s DC Joy-Us Fire on
The Mountain SC FCH (Micki), winning from the Field Champion stake!
Congratulations to all the stake winners,
placement-takers, and participants.
As everybody knows, putting on a
trial of any size is an exercise is coordination, cooperation and plain old hard work. This is the fourth
time I’ve chaired a BCOA National Specialty field trial (‘96,
‘00, ‘04, ‘11) and each time I’ve hit the jackpot in terms of
“cast and crew...” My hat is off to the following folks, and to
everybody who helped out on the day! Field Trial Secretary: Nora Mayfield (Nora is, simply
put, a whiz with paperwork - and she has known me long
enough to realize she can never let ME near the near it!)
Field Clerks: Don Goodrich and Lisa Marshall (Again,
two very able and experienced helpers who kept us on the
straight and narrow…)
Huntmasters: Connie Camp, Karla Schreiber (Connie, this is starting to look like a “sister act” [Connie has
generously donated her time to work on every National trial
I’ve chaired - even ‘96, when we had to spend time undoing
some very special macramé....])
Lure Operators: Connie Camp, Karla Schreiber, Terry Lemberger (We kept ‘em out of the road, and nobody hit
a tree - success!)
Roll Call: Lisa Marshall, Pat Wand, Beth Straub, Susan
Cook (Armed with nothing but a roll of TP...you protected
our coursing field from drips and limps…)
Paddock: Susan Smith (This is a critical job - the Paddock Master keeps the whole ball of wax in motion with her
trusty bullhorn - and Susan did it in a walking cast, from a
folding chair!)
Trophies: Nicole and Rob Freedman (Rob was responsible for the sun dial theme for our Specialty slogan
Basenji Club of America, Inc. Bulletin (OCT/NOV/DEC ‘11) “The Test of Time” and he and Nicole
did a great job keeping the trophy tables
stocked throughout the event) and Don
Goodrich (our resident potter/trophymaker)
Field set-up: Andy Hayek, Terry
Lemberger, Karla Schreiber (I left my
magic wand [and flying monkeys] at
home - and the field refused to set itself
– thanks to Andy and Terry for all the
heavy lifting…)
Snow Fence Brigade: Lisa Marshall, Susan Cook,
Andy Hayek, Jan Cook, Terry Lemberger, Dr. Jo Thompson, Kirsten Sigrist, Connie Camp, Gale Whitehurst, Wanda
Pooley, Steve & Rande Mathers, Bob & Sue Joyner, Kari
Wuornos-Winger, Sally Wuornos, Laura Caldwell, Terry
Fielder (Kudos to the fine men and women who put up and
took down the orange snow fence...you all rock!)
Judges: Kevin Carlson, Scott Hurlburt (ASFA); Scott
Hurlburt, Karla Schreiber (AKC JCs) (Kevin and Scott generously judged our trial for what I’m 99% sure was something LESS than their actual expenses - THANKS guys!)
Judges’ Lunch: Lisa Lemberger (Thank you for making a lunch run - something I completely forgot to set up in
advance – whew!)
Judges’ Gift Bags: Lisa Lemberger (The bags were
terrific – chocked full of Wisconsin-themed items like
cheese, sausage, etc.)
Equipment Hauler Extraordinaire: Terry Lemberger (Terry shuttled the coursing equipment up to Manitowoc, procured a storage facility for it, brought it all to the
field, and took it home - woot!!)
And one more special thank you to all of you who ran
your hounds in the trial, tests or practice, and the folks who
just came out to watch. It was uplifting to see such a goodsized gallery cheering on the runners! As the old Jackson
Browne song says… “You got up on your feet, and made the
show!”

ELEMENTS
COMPETITION
By Clay Bunyard • Photos by George Woodard
Best Trick
To kick off the events on Wednesday evening,
a Best Trick competition was held prior to the
ELEMENTS Educational Exhibition.
T
he surprise guest judge for Best Trick was the Mayor of Manitowoc, Justin Nickels, who incidentally is
also one of the youngest mayors in the U.S. (elected at 22, currently 25). Despite being a self-confessed “cat
person”, Mayor Nickels got into the spirit of the event and
judged the eight teams entered in the competition. In front
of an enthusiastic crowd, the teams performed tricks ranging
from “stick your paws in the air”, a find the treat “shell game”
and returning tissues to the trash can. In the end, Mayor
Nickels choose the team of Susan Cook and her dogs Arrow
and Aubrey as the Best Trick of the evening with their dueling tricks comedy routine.

ELEMENTS Educational Exhibition
The ELEMENTS Educational Exhibition was
first introduced at the 2010 BCOA National
Specialty in Greeley, CO as an informal and
fun way to learn more about the basenji
breed standard.
A
nalogous to a “parts” class competition, the focus
of the event is on the individual “elements” of the
breed standard which are broken out into separate
classes. Breeder judges from across the country were selected
(and kept secret until the time of the event) for the challenging task of focusing in and judging only one aspect of the
dogs in front of them. Exhibitors were free to enter a dog in
any of the seven classes which resulted in a total of 40 dogs
entered in the competition for 135 individual class entries.
The competition was broken down into two parts, starting
with a round-robin judging at seven different judging stations to narrow the pool of dogs for each class down to the
six highest scoring finalists (via numerical scoring). While
not necessarily spectator friendly, the round robin had a significant time-saving advantage for accommodating the large
number of entries and allowed the entire event to be completed in about two hours. The judges then re-examined the
finalists and made the 1st-4th placements for their particular
Element. Following the placements, the judges gave their
perspective on the Element they evaluated and explained
their placements to the audience.

AFRICAN STOCK
EXHIBITION
by Mia Löwbeer,Yulara Basenji, Sweden • Photos by George Woodard (unless otherwise noted)
First, I would like to thank all of you who made this possible, it was an experience I will never
forget! The BCOA who invited me, Amy who picked us up at the airport, Lisa, Beth, Heather, Judy
my steward, Robert who drove us to the airport and then all of you old friends and new friends who
made our stay very special! Thank you!
Best of Opposite Sex ASE: SONBAR’S ZFOR ZORRO
I
felt very honoured to be invited to
judge the Africans and I looked forward
to it very much. I was very pleased I got
to see the new imports from 2011 as well,
5 of them. They will all contribute in their
own way to the population and I hope we
all will be able to make wise and intelligent
decisions to what to breed them to in the
future.
In came the puppies and I must say I
was very pleased with them and especially
the ½ Africans. I was impressed! The head of
my winner was gorgeous and she was so well put together
and looked square and high on the legs. My BOS puppy was
¼ New African and immediately you see the influence from
our “domestic” lines.
An interesting observation I had was, that some of them
were a little different, a lot of very loose skin, a little lower
on leg and longer in body and a little heavier. After I have
read the catalogue, I realized they were from a little different area compared to those from the more northern part of
DR Congo. An area with dense jungle and there it is better
to be lower on leg, as well as loose skin, to be able to run
Basenji Club of America, Inc. Bulletin (OCT/NOV/DEC ‘11) Photo by Monica Massih
through the dense vegetation instead of the
northern ones there it also is savannah and
semi jungle, where you need to have longer
legs to be fast enough to hunt the game.
It was lovely to see the amount of wrinkle
some of them had. So much needed today
in the breed. It will be very interesting to
see the result when they are mixed in with
the “domestic” population.
My adult winner has so much breed
type, lovely head, square and high on legs
with an easy movement. And was I pleased
to see that he has the same mother as my BOB puppy. My
BOS adult had so much quality as well with a lovely shoulder and upper arm and I discovered she was a Champion!
It was fantastic to be honoured to be part of the Africans and I really think they have a future in the breed, they
have so much to offer and again we have to make intelligent
choices when we breed them and see to it as a breed not to
our own egos.We have a breed to preserve for the future and
the effort to bring dogs from Congo should be very much
encouraged.
Thanks again!

her as soon as I looked at her. Nice head with
short muzzle, correct front assembly, level
topline and strong rear with high tailset and
good reach, lovely profile movement and
good going away, but not quite as good in
front which cost her in the challenge.
From 9-12 AOAC, Berimo ‘n Taji Zenyatta; most attractive B/W with a very nice
outline and overall type, moved very well
when she settled to it, good front and pleasing outlook, correct rear, most promising.

Field Trial Dog; GCh DC Jerlin’s Our
Zuri Pupin MC, LCX, r/w with exceptionally good head shape and almond eyes, level
topline, good clean front and strong wellmuscled rear, short back, slightly longer coat.
Impressive that he is also the sire of the second and third, those performance genes are
clearly being passed on!

Select Dog: Ch Kasendo-Tutu Special
Agent Gibbs, this ultra sound b/w is not a
showy dog and really needs to have hands
on to appreciate fully, when you realise how
correct he is. Good clean front and feet with
correct front assembly, level topline and
strong rear, ample body, correctly shaped
head, perhaps a little light in eye. In superb
show condition with superfine coat, sound as
a bell on the move.
Congratulations to all the winners!
round, very well preserved and liked her a lot.
Field Trial Bitch, DC Epic’s Accidental
Magic SC: attractive tri bitch who looked
very stylish going around, good coat and colour, nice head, strong front, competitive.
Awards of Merit:
GCh AB-Rafiki the Icon of Cool: the consummate showman, this very stylish tri never
misses a beat, beautiful masculine head with
perfect earset, crested neck into good front,
rock solid topline and highset tail, well ribbed
up, moving out well in profile and with a
strong driving rear action. Toeing in in front.
Ch Taji’s Klassic Beauty JC. (See Veteran
Bitch 7-10 years).
Ch Rosewood’s Mystic Illusion: extremely
elegant upstanding b/w bitch with a striking
outline and most attractive head, excellent
front and matching well angled rear, short
back and strong rear action, clean free movement, feet not her fortune.
ing the top of the substance continuum, clean
moving in all directions and ultra sound. As a
top performance Basenji, he knows how to
do a day’s work and he is well equipped for it.
Ch Klassic’s Gift from Paris: square, very feminine attractive tri who looks nice enough
stacked but whose virtues become apparent
when she starts to move, flowing free stride
and clean both coming and going, couldn’t
be overlooked.
GCh Taji Goes Platinum: petite and extremely typy r/w bitch with a beautiful head and
stunning fine orange red coat, double curl
tail well set, good angulation and moved very
well. A shade wide in front.
GCh Klassic’s Slam Dunk: attractive well
made tri with excellent sidegait. Nice masculine head, level topline, good depth of body,
well ribbed up, just not quite the angles behind that he has in front but he makes maximum use of what he has.
GCh Signet Meisterhaus Gossip Girl: one
of the best heads in the entry and she is a
good mover too; one that looked better gaiting than stacked, she moved her way up the
order with her head, sidegait and clean front.
Ch Sonbar’s Xclusive Xtrovert: r/w bitch,
still very much a baby but showing extreme
promise, both chock full of type and sound
as a bell. Not willing to stack nicely for more
than a few seconds at a time, but did enough
to show me what she had, and I fell for it!

Basenji Club of America, Inc. Bulletin (OCT/NOV/DEC ‘11) Best of Opposite Sex: GCh Jasiri Sukari
Win Tin Tin, I realised that this leggier r/w
was a young dog but not that he was only 9
months old! Such poise for one so young; he
has a beautiful head and wrinkle, very elegant
and typy with good leg length and tight feet
with good slope of pastern, good fill, excellent in profile and clean coming and going,
high set tail with good curl, must have a big
future.
Select Bitch: GCh DC Bantu’s Playing Rochambeau SC, this r/w bitch was a little star,
fabulous on the move with terrific sidegait,
clean all round, typy elegant outline, beautifully put together with well matching angles,
attractive head and expression, didn’t put a
foot wrong and just had the misfortune to
come up against one of the outstanding Basenjis of this or maybe any era; but this little
one made her work for it. Beautifully handled and put down to perfection.
Best of Breed: GCh Meisterhaus Dazzle ‘n’
Daze, have admired this lovely brindle bitch,
and her mother before her, since she was a
puppy and so was disappointed to hear that
she had been retired after her Westminster
win and that I would not get the chance to
go over her and find out if she was as good as
she looked. Well, her owners and handler are
true sportsmen and, so to my surprise, here
she was; and yes, she is! Pretty, wedge shaped
head, short muzzle, well arched neck into
correct front, deep chest and well ribbed up,
strong rear with broad second thighs, short
back. Perfectly sound in all directions and totally effortless in profile, this is one that really
does look as if she could go all day, and has
that indefinable ring presence that makes a
good hound a great one. The best Basenji I
have ever had my hands on and very difficult
to fault.

The MEMORY WALK
& GUESS THE KENNEL
BASKETS
by Lisa Marshall, Assistant Chair • Photos by Sylvie Jordan
One thing I love to do is look at the national club websites of other breeds. If they have an
upcoming national specialty, I will click through to the national specialty information. I look at
the schedule, the judges, the location and venue, and I look to see what special events they might
be having. I recommend this to future BCOA host groups for good ideas.
Memory Walk
W
hen I was perusing the Vizsla Club of America,
Inc. national specialty website for their 2010
national (that happened to be near my home),
I came across an event they were having called The Memory Walk. It sounded like a wonderful way to celebrate the
memories of special dogs and pets, and people who have
passed on. The idea was to have luminarias - which are candle-lit bags - set out along a pathway, each one representing
a dog, other pet or person.
I decided to attend the Vizsla Memory Walk and I loved
what I saw. I made a short video of it, and showed it to some
of the 2011 host group members. They were enthusiastic
about having our own Memory Walk, so we scheduled it
for Thursday night of the national week. The process was
simple: there was a sign up form in the national specialty
flyer and also an online sign up form. We made up a simple
Basenji Club of America, Inc. Bulletin (OCT/NOV/DEC ‘11) catalog with a short write up about each of the dogs, pets
or persons memorialized. Wanda Pooley designed a lovely
catalog cover; we titled the catalog “Down Memory Lane”
and printed it with the cover in color. We had 38 memorials
in total.
Many people helped make the Memory Walk a lovely
event. Rande Mathers designed stencils that fit inside each
luminaria bag, so that when the candles (battery powered)
were lit, the outlines of a basenji head and tail or a firefly glowed through. Susan Cook and Lisa Tyler (our judge)
spent the afternoon filling the weighted luminaria bases with
water to keep the bags in place if it was windy, and Pat Wand
with helpers made an arch out of pvc and covered it with a
rainbow of balloons. This rainbow arch became the start and
end of the pathway. Lisa Lemberger set up a DVD player
with speakers and a wonderful selection of songs to play in
the background. Many, many more people helped complete

the set up - if I try to name everyone, I will miss someone, but
thank you to all.
As people showed up, they brought photographs, collars, toys
and other mementos to set beside their luminaria(s). It turned
out to be a lovely night to take a stroll down Memory Lane.
“Guess the Kennel Name” Basket Contest
One other national specialty website I looked at was for the Welsh
Corgi national specialty for 2010. They were having a fun game
they called Guess the Kennel Name baskets. People were encouraged to put together a basket with items in it that gave hints to
their kennel name. People would put down their guess for each
basket, the winner would get a prize, and the baskets would be
donated to their auction. Again, I brought the idea to the host
group and we decided to give it a try. It was no work on our part
other than publicizing it.
We had a total of eight very creative baskets entered. We
displayed them daily on a table in the show ring area. We put
out forms that had a place for your name and your guess for each
basket’s kennel name. The forms were collected and scored on
Saturday at lunch. We had a three-way tie with seven correct
guesses out of eight. We drew for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places and each
of these winners got their choice of basket. The remaining five
baskets were put into the voice auction. Karen Hutchison, Joyce
Hughes and Sandy Beaudoin were the three winners. The 1st
place winner also got a DVD of the 1988 trip to the Democratic
Republic of the Congo, donated by Jon Curby. Thank you, Jon!
These were the baskets. Thanks to the basket makers for
their clever creations!

AUCTION
REPORT
WEARABLES
REPORT
Wearables Committee Runs Amok!
Okay, we admit it. We got carried away with
the number of shirt options offered for the
2011 Basenji Nationals. Eighteen choices to be
precise (in a range of seven sizes) which meant
126 different possibilities. To be honest, we
didn’t do the math when we started.
The auction this year was very much fun.
We had some wonderful items. Some of the
live auction items included an African bell
donated by Wanda Pooley, a signed Veronica
Tudor Williams Blue Book, and a beautiful,
framed and matted original print of an African
woman with 3 basenjis donated by Mike Work
from his most recent trip to the Democratic
Republic of the Congo.
T
he live and silent auctions made a combined total of $4,590, which is wonderful considering the
smaller attendance this year.
The silent auction was set up near the ring and was
open each day for people to browse and bid. On Saturday
after lunch, the silent auction was closed so the winners
could check out early and not have to wait until after the
voice auction on Saturday night.
This year, people were able to check out by PayPal using either a computer we had set up at the live auction, or
their own smart phones.
Janet Ketz worked extremely hard at setting up the auction and making sure things went smoothly. Katie Campbell,Wendy Anderson and Dennis Arrand made sure the live
auction was fun for all. Carmella Troisi-Hoerr, the 2011 national specialty website administrator, set up the PayPal site.
Special thanks go to everyone who participated - by
donating, working and buying - to make this year’s auction
a success.
Basenji Club of America, Inc. Bulletin (OCT/NOV/DEC ‘11) I
t all began with an
amazing logo from
Wanda Pooley, and the
theme “The Test of Time.”
Rande Mathers was immediately inspired to use
safari colors, greens, golds
and oranges, to really show
off the logo. But since
those colors don’t look
great on everyone, we de- Clay wearing the Host Group Volunteer Shirt
cided it was important to
include some neutrals like tan, blue and black.
Then it was about marketing. Terry Lemberger gathered all the color swatches from the manufacturers’ websites
and inserted a .jpg file of the logo on each swatch so buyers
could see what the shirt would look like. Next, Clay Bunyard and Carmella Troisi-Hoerr loaded all the images onto
Facebook and the Nationals Website and the sales began!
In the first round of orders, we sold 205 shirts to 90
different people. There was such interest at the Nationals,
we decided to do a second round of orders. Despite having to pay for shipping, we sold an additional 85 shirts to
50 people (some people from the first round ordered more
shirts!). Overall 120 different people ordered 290 shirts, an
average of 2.5 shirts per person. And the reason we have all
these numbers is because Lisa Lemberger is an Excel geek
(she loves Pivot Tables!).
One other twist this year was the Host Group Volunteer Shirt—a black short sleeved t-shirt with the special
edition “Harley Davidson” version of the logo. We wanted
BCOSW volunteers to be easily identifiable. Instead of the
six color screen print, the special Volunteer shirts had a single color, silver image of the logo.
As you can see, it takes a village to do wearables!

Meet Us in Gettysburg!
“We are met on a great battle-field of that war…”
Abraham Lincoln, Gettysburg Address, November 19, 1863
By Lisa Auerbach
N
ext year’s National Specialty
is planned for July 9-15th in
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania at
the Eisenhower Hotel and Conference
Center. Gettysburg is conveniently located about 75 miles from Washington
DC, 55 miles from Baltimore, 37 miles
from Harrisburg and 32 miles from
Frederick and Hagerstown. Nearest
airports are: Harrisburg International
(51 miles), Baltimore-Washington International (63 miles) and Washington Dulles International
(69 miles).
Mid-Atlantic Basenji Club is hosting the event, and we
have been busy planning to make our guests feel welcome.
Whether you’re interested in conformation, lure coursing,
agility, rally, attending seminars, shopping the vendors, bidding at the auction or visiting with friends, be prepared for
a busy and enjoyable week. Check out and bookmark our
website at 2012bcoanational.org as we will be posting
news and updates frequently.
You may want to consider arriving early or staying late,
since the area has so much to do. The show site is near Gettysburg National Military Park. The park has tours available
on foot, by bike, by bus or on horseback. The annual reenactment of the Battle of Gettysburg is 4th of July weekend,
for those who might want to come early.
Once you’ve toured the parks, there’s still so much to
see! If you’re a history buff, you can go to the many historic
sites and museums, such as the Eisenhower National Historic
Basenji Club of America, Inc. Bulletin (OCT/NOV/DEC ‘11) Site, Dobbin House Tavern, the Jennie
Wade House and the American Civil
War Museum. Gettysburg ghost tours
are very popular with visitors and have
been featured on various cable shows.
The Gettysburg area also has
wineries, farmers markets, state parks,
a Victorian photography studio, a miniature horse farm, several golf courses,
and the huge Boyd Bears store. For
the shopper who loves a bargain, there
is even an outlet mall nearby! For those who would like to
go further afield, with the convenient location, it’s easy to
plan a day trip to Washington, Baltimore, Amish Country,
Hershey…the list is endless. If you have non-doggy family
members, they’ll have plenty to do in Gettysburg and surrounding areas.
Because Gettysburg is such a popular vacation site, and
rooms fill up quickly during the summer re-enactment season, be sure to book early. All events except lure coursing
will take place at the host hotel – so stay in the thick of
things and don’t miss out! You can book online or by phone.
To book online, go to 2012bcoanational.org click on
Show Site, and follow the directions.
If you intend to arrive before Friday the 6th, leave after
Monday the 16th or cannot get a room using the link, please
call the hotel at 717-334-8121 to book your reservation.
Tell the reservation clerk you are with the Basenji Club of
America National Specialty to get the proper rate.
We’ll meet you in Gettysburg!

COMMITTEE REPORTS reports
By linda siekert & james johannes
There have not been many updates to the
existing pages due to a lack of information
being sent for inclusion.
Some new imports will be added. Please
send Linda Siekert any updates or additions so
they can be included for this year’s changes.
AKC delegate
By Jon Curby
It is not news that the dog fancy has been in
decline for a number of years. I think the
last several reports I have submitted have dealt
with the AKC efforts to stem the trend. None
of the initiatives attempted have had much, if
any, effect. The fact that there are over thirty
for profit registries that have popped up in the
last twenty years that will register any dog and
not demand any living condition inspections
or integrity of pedigree from their customers is certainly a factor, but is certainly not
the only factor. It has been speculated that the
limited registration program has contributed
to the decline and even the fact that responsible breeders have made the process of buying
a puppy so complicated and intense that the
public has no problem going to people that
ask no questions.
Registrations have decreased steadily since
the mid-nineties. Since this source of income
subsidizes all other AKC activities and a million dollar loss in the first half of this year,
major changes loom ahead. One of these
changes will mark the last print version of the
American Kennel Club Gazette being published in October of this year. Because of an
almost forty percent decline in subscriptions,
it will become an online only publication in
order to save almost $500,000 a year.
There have been several new programs that
have not accomplished the goal of increasing
registrations, but have been positive additions
to the fancy. The Breeder of Merit initative
provides a way for the longtime breeder to
differentiate themselves from commercial
and those people that produce a few litters
in a lifetime. The AKC staff is still working
on procedures to better validate the credentials submitted by breeders that will help add
value to the Breeder of Merit program.
The efforts to provide an insight to the dog
fancy and purebred dogs to the general pubBasenji Club of America, Inc. Bulletin (OCT/NOV/DEC ‘11)
lic with the “Meet the Breeds” events likely
will not impact the bottom line but will in
the long term make people aware of the serious breeders and their efforts to provide
healthy, stable puppies.
AKC Gazette Columnist
The Basenji column in the AKC Gazette
By Marcia Woodard
Topics included the Basenji University, reflections on Basenji fanciers’ first trips to
Westminster, a Fanconi update, and a creative
piece on the details of dog shows.
Thanks to Susan Coe and Julie Leicht for
their contributions.
Another column focused on Damara Bolté:
on Sunday, February 13, 2011, the day before the Westminster Kennel Club show, the
Alliance of Purebred Dog Writers (APDW)
honored Damara Bolté with its highest distinction: The Stonehenge Award, presented
annually to an individual who has contributed significantly to the sport of purebred
dogs.The ceremony took place at the APDW
Arthur Awards luncheon for writers at Sardi’s
restaurant in New York.
Three of my columns were nominated for
Dog Writers’ Association of America awards.
Results will be announced at Westminster 2012.
My first book Collected Kona: Brief Takes
on a Basenji was published October 1 of last
year. The book is an anthology of my columns about my Basenji Kona, and it includes
photographs taken by George Woodard and
Laurie Gregory.
Collected Kona tied for second place in
the Alliance of Purebred Dog Writers book
competition. This year, the book has been
nominated for a Dog Writers Association of
America award. The book has also been featured twice in the AKC Gazette.
It’s been a great year for Basenjis in the Gazette.
Note: if you haven’t already heard, the Gazette is changing to an all-electronic format
starting in October 2011 (next month). The
breed columns will continue. The Gazette
will be posted monthly to the AKC website
and will be free.
AKC LEGISLATIVE LIAISON
BY Vickie Jacobs, Chair
Animal Legislation has been very active
throughout the whole United States. The
American Kennel Club has been very helpful notifying me of Legislation that involved
breeders. Since there are so many areas that
have concerns I have had a link put on the
BCOA site for you to look up your state and
see if anything is in your area.
Simply go to the BCOA web site. Click
on Members and you will see Legislation as
one of your choices. This is the AKC site and
you can find a listing and how you can get
involved in the action on this site.
I encourage Basenji Clubs to have a person
assigned to Animal Legislation and check this
site regularly to be sure there isn’t something
that could change your rights as a breeder
and pet owner.
ARCHIVES ACTION
BY Donna DeFlorio, CHAIR
Did you know that the first BCOA Bulletin
was a two-page letter dated April 1950? It
was written by BCOA Secretary, Mrs. Alexander Phemister.
Did you know the first BCOA Bulletin
Board Newsletter was published in July 1983,
edited by Peggy Inan?
Both of these landmark publications and
lots more are now easily accessible for your
review and enjoyment online at the BCOA
Archives subsite.
Our primary focus in 2011 has been to
locate, scan and upload to the BCOA website BCOA Bulletins beginning with the first
issue in April 1950 and all BCOA Bulletin
Board Newsletters beginning in July, 1983.
And what have our many helping hands
accomplished together this year?
• As of today, 178 Bulletin Board Newsletters
have been freshly scanned and added to
the website for a total of 219 issues; Bulletin Board Newsletters, you will remember, began their appearance on the BCOA
website in 2007.
• 193 of our quarterly Bulletins, published between 1967 and 2005 have been scanned
and are on the website. At least 8 additional
Bulletins have been scanned and should be
on the website when you read this. All Bulletins from 2006 through the current issue
are also on the website.
• In addition, Board of Directors Ballots from
1998 thru 2010 are online as well as most

COMMITTEE REPORTS
Archives Action (Continued)
Meeting Minutes from BCOA Annual
Membership Meetings and annual Board of
Directors Meetings for the same time period.
In 2012, we plan to continue the search for
Bulletins from 1950 thru 1967 that remain to
be scanned and make them available to you
online. We will continue to upload BCOA
Board of Directors Ballots, Basenji Health
Endowment Ballots as well as Meeting Minutes from the BCOA Annual Meetings, the
Board of Directors Meetings and Basenji
Health Endowment Meetings from the years
prior to 1998.
We are also planning to visit Oklahoma
State University and begin a detailed inventory of the BCOA Archives in order to determine what needs to be copied from our
archives at OSU so it can be appropriately
copied and/or scanned for use by BCOA
members. We will also see if any otherwise
unavailable Bulletins and Bulletin Board Newsletters can be discovered and added to the Archives online.
I am grateful to the many club members
who have expressed their support for this
important project and offered their assistance.
First, I want to thank Pam Geoffroy for her
strong guidance and encouragement and Susan Coe for developing and implementing
the process devised to “take the scans and get
‘em online.”
Thank you to my fellow scanners -- Kathy
Sanders, Kim Noyes and Susan Coe. Kathy
and Kim won our Most Valuable Scanner
award! Congratulations!
Also thanks to Arnieta Kurtz, Mike Work,
Doreen Duffin, Janet Ketz, Linda Daves
Siekert, Lisa Marshall, Bill McCann, Nancy
Mitchell, Lisa Auerbach, Mary DeWhitt, Florine Havens, Betsy Polglase, Sally Ann Smith,
Jo Thompson, Donna Troyna and Carol Webb
for providing Bulletins and Board Newsletters
to be scanned or otherwise helping out. Special thanks to Wanda Pooley for providing
files of the Bulletin from 2006 thru 2010.
And thank you to everyone who helped in
this worthwhile endeavor. Please accept my
apologies if your name was omitted, and do
let me know so you can be properly acknowledged. We are most grateful for your efforts.
Do you have any Bulletins from the early years 1950 thru 1967? The Committee
would greatly appreciate it if you would
consider loaning them to us. You will be
reimbursed for any postage. Send all archival material directly to Donna DeFlorio,
6523 S Molly Ln., Ozark, MO 65721.
We want to be sure you have an accurate
accounting of what materials are going into
the Archives.We also want the opportunity to
determine which materials need to be copied
or scanned for online access prior to delivery
to Oklahoma State University.
Questions? Contact me anytime at Sarabi96@aol.com or call my cell phone 352348-4865.
Breeders Education
Report for the Basenji University
By Laurie Stargell & Susan Coe
Work is ongoing on several fronts at the
Basenji University. You should find some of
these items already available online as you
read this report.
Lisa Marshall has agreed to take over preparing quizzes for course #101: Owners
Guide. Each section of the Guide will have
its own self-graded quiz. Watch as the selfgraded quizzes start to appear. It is great to
have Lisa onboard to work on the BU.
If you want to try active sports with your
basenji, the courses in the College of Basenji
Activities will provide you with the basics
and point you in the right direction for a
good start. Sue Campeau is hard at work on
course #203: AKC and ASFA Lure Coursing. Linda Siekert is preparing course #205:
Obedience and Rally. These two courses will
advance the offerings tremendously.
Marianne Klinkowski graciously allowed
Purebred Studios to video her seminar for
judges during the national specialty. Work is
started on putting the audio portion together
with the slides she uses to have a streaming
video using her own words. This will be an
additonal item in course #402: BCOA Judge
Education Presentation. The slide show as it
now exists will still be online so that a student can carefully study each slide. The video
with audio will give an added dimension to
carry Marianne’s intent clearly.

Rescue Liaison
by carrie jones
2011 has been relatively quiet for BCOA rescue. In June, BCOA donated funds to assist
BRAT with rescue costs for three veteran
Basenjis that belonged to Dawn Honaker
Pierson (Dawn Ri Basenjis) when she was
unexpectedly killed in a car crash. BCOA
donated $1018.10 and all three Basenjis have
been placed in permanent homes by BRAT.
Thank you to every group or individual
who helps a Basenji in need, whether that
help is when a responsible breeder fulfills his/
her obligation by taking back their own dogs
or in helping with any other form of rescue
when a Basenji is in need.

COMMITTEE REPORTS
NATIVE STOCK
Extension of Stud Book Opening
By PAM Geoffroy, co-chair
On August 1, 2011, the letter on right was

Following is the approval from the AKC to
this request:
BCOA Request for Extension of Opening
of AKC Stud book for imported Native Stock.
AKC Board Meeting, November 7 & 8, 2011

Following a motion by Dr. Newman, seconded by Mr. Arnold, it was VOTED (unanimously) to extend the Open Registration
for Basenjis imported from Africa, until December 31, 2018, with any dogs imported
into the United States prior to December 31,
2018, eligible for registration until December
31, 2020.

Dear Mr. Crowley,
I am writing this letter on behalf of the Basenji Club of America, Inc. (BCOA).
The original AKC Stud Book registered the first basenjis in 1944; less than ten of these original registrants contributed descendants. This limited the ability for conscientious breeders in the U.S. to avoid various
health disorders, which had become prevalent since the breed’s introduction to the western world.
In response to this problem, and on advice from geneticists who believe at least 50 founders are necessary for long term breed viability, concerned breeders have made several trips to central Africa, starting in
1987, in search of native basenjis. At the request of the BCOA, in 1990 the AKC opened the Stud Book to the
first group of native basenjis whom, when bred, had a positive impact within the breed via conformation,
temperament and overall health statistics.
Due to the early success in 1990 of the integration between domestic and native stock, the AKC Stud
Book for the basenji was again opened in 2009 and is to remain open through December 31, 2013 to allow
trips to Southern Sudan and other remote parts of Africa to search for native stock. A number of native basenjis have been registered under the 2008 agreement (effective January 1,
2009) with several others in the process of obtaining the necessary evaluations. However, in December 2008
travel in much of the northeastern DRC Congo and Southern Sudan became very hazardous due to attacks
on many of the small villages by the Lords Resistance Army (LRA), a group of terrorist Ugandans that have
been hiding in the Congo for years.
Currently, there is an international effort to rid the LRA from that part of Africa, but until such time it
will be impossible to visit a large area of Southern Sudan and DRC Congo; Southern Sudan being historically one of the best areas for native specimens. A trip to the DRC Congo in early 2011 had to be limited to
a small area on the edges of territory still controlled by the LRA. The inability for breeders to broaden the
geographical area due to the LRA, despite Southern Sudan’s independence this month, could further limit
genetic diversity, the ultimate goal of these excursions.
Given the volatile nature of the area(s), and the fact it can often times take years to develop necessary
contacts that enable American breeders to travel safely to some of the more remote regions of central
Africa, the BCOA respectfully requests from the AKC a five year extension to the current agreement of 2008
(start date January 1, 2009). The extension will be governed by the same AKC approved procedures for submitting Native Stock for inclusion in the AKC stud book (see AKC Board Minutes August 11-12, 2008 pg. 4-6);
a three stage procedure which begins when the dog is at least one year old and includes hands-on evaluations by three highly qualified individuals, approval by the BCOA board of directors, and finally membership
approval.
Therefore, the Basenji Club of America is officially requesting the AKC stud book for Basenjis to remain
open until December 31, 2018.
Puppies are the most logical choice for importation due to obvious lifestyle adjustments; however it is
not feasible, financially or physically, to bring over large numbers at any given time. Due to the procedural
process noted above it takes roughly one year after importing a puppy before the evaluations begin with
the process finishing with the memberships vote (another lengthy process) for inclusion in the stud book.
As such, we would like to inquire about the possibility that any dog imported before the end of the 2018
extension be considered as eligible to participate in the process through those individual dogs’ AKC registrations with a cut off of 2020.
The Basenji Club of America feels as long as there are still areas to be explored where purebred basen jis might be found we should take advantage of this unique opportunity afforded our breed and encourage
breeder enthusiasts to pursue native stock in remote regions of Africa.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Pam Geoffroy, President, Basenji Club of America

Dallas Ft. Worth
Basenji Club, Inc.
By Fran Medley
www.dfwbasenji.org
This year marks the 35th year of dedication to this
breed we all love so very much. We even have a
couple of members who have been with the club
since its beginning. Now that’s real dedication!
We have been quite busy since our Specialty last March. First, we
hosted our annual Lure Coursing Fun Run April 23 at the Haggard’s
farm which is open to all sight hounds, with the emphasis on teaching
new comers the ropes. Watching first time pups get their first look at
“the bunny” and see the excitement in their eyes and the enthusiasm
in their run is a joy to watch. We even had one Basenji and one IG
try to go through the pond – boy were they surprised! Lunch was
served to all the folks while we enjoyed visiting.
We had two interesting educational programs at club meetings.
One in April was Patricia Williams, DVM, speaking on First Aid for
dogs and What to do in case of an Emergency. The second program
in August was Roberta Kirby, Canine Sports Massage Therapist, who
demonstrated massage on one of our dogs and spoke about how our
lure coursing athletes can benefit.
This year the AKC encouraged as many clubs as possible to host a
Responsible Dog Owner’s Day to educate folks about different breeds
and their specific requirements to make them better fit into human
households, or just good dog care in general. The Ft. Worth Kennel Club (FWKC) sponsored the event we participated in on September 24th at Veteran’s Park in White Settlement. It was a beautiful
warm and sunny day and many people from the community stopped
by to check us all out. At least 10 different breed clubs participated
and set up booths with literature and members to answer questions.
We were very surprised and pleased to win first prize for the best
decorated booth. We spent the day greeting the public and educating
them about Basenjis. We were fortunate to have 3 colors represented –
Zoë, a red & white 7 year old bitch, Zan, an 11 year old red & white
male, Pharaoh, a 3 year old tri male and Paladin, a black & white 6
month old male puppy. The dogs were all on their best behavior both
being cautious and eager to meet the public.
We are preparing for our next Specialty, March 23, 2012, at the
usual place – Will Rogers Memorial Complex, Fort Worth. The
various breed club Specialties are held Friday night, followed by the
FWKC’s All Breed Shows Saturday and Sunday so there are 3 days of
shows. We will have a club dinner on Saturday night at a member’s
home; all show folk welcome. Our Sweepstakes (Puppy & Veteran)
Judge will be Mike Graves of Leander, TX. He has been around our
breed for a long time as breeder, handler and has great hands on puppies. Our breed judge is Theresa Hundt of Newtown, CT who has
handled Basenjis in the past. Trophies will be some lovely African or
Egyptian themed items with a special trophy for the Oldest Veteran in
Sweeps.

HOOSIER BASENJI CLUB
By TERRY COX FIEDLER
On August 20, 2011, the Hoosier Basenji Club’s Specialty returned to Muncie, Indiana and the Delaware
County Fairgrounds. The summer of 2011 shattered heat records and this August day was a hot one
too. Both show folks and their dog’s attire were adjusted for the need
to stay cool. Basenji competitors wore colorful cooling blankets at
ringside to help beat the heat.
Dr. Tracy Leonard judged the sweepstakes classes and Mr. Williams Potter II handled the regular classes. Jovial camaraderie between
spectators and show participants was heard under the big tent despite
the August heat. Basenji competitors traveled from all parts of the midwest, east and south of the US to display their young basenji hopefuls
and experienced show hounds. A refreshment area with chilled drinks
for exhibitors and the bountiful raffle for all to enjoy were sponsored
by the Hoosier Basenji Club.
A “Meet the Breed” event was organized by the Muncie Kennel
Club. The general public had an opportunity to learn about the history, care and canine sport activities preformed by the curly tailed dogs
from Africa. Hoosier Basenji Club members and their basenjis manned
the booth interacting with the curious onlookers.
A big thanks and appreciation to all the Club Members and
friends for their outstanding job making the Specialty enjoyable for all.
The Hoosier Basenji Club invites all the basenji exhibitors and supporters back next year for the club’s 2012 specialty.

We’d like to congratulate Dr. Gary Johnson for
his break through.
Also, would like to mention that Dr. Dodds
is now doing “green” thyroid testing, in house, which means she is not
using radio-isotopes. Also note that she is providing complete thyroid
panels which also include sending separately the 3 levels to OFA that
they require.That is: OFA Thyroid Registry, Expanded Profile (T4,T3,
free T3, T4AA, T3AA, FT4ED, cTSH, TgAA), cost is $110.

ROUTE 66 BASENJI CLUB
Fun Events with the Route 66
Basenji Club
by Angela Anderson & Jessica Ryno
Saturday, September 10th was a (thankfully)
drizzly day in St. Louis, MO. “Thankfully” because the majority of the
Metro area had essentially been without rain since May. Nonetheless,
the rain was welcome as our Club was featured at an indoor event.
The AKC Museum of the Dog (a lovely, canine-friendly museum
featuring the world’s finest collection of Art devoted to the dog) hosts
“Guest Dog of the Week/Meet the Breed” events, and it was our turn
to show off our favorite. Due to Shows and Coursing events, several of
our members were unable to attend. But, for the seven humans (Jessica,
Annette, Chrissie, Nancy, me and my daughters Autumn and Holly)
and five Basenji ambassadors, a good time was had by all.
We were supposed to be in the large upstairs area, but apparently
there was a scheduling mistake, and an American Eskimo Dog Rescue group (affectionately and cleverly called “Reskies”) was using the
room for an Adopted Reskies Reunion. No worries. We were asked
to set up downstairs instead, in the gallery celebrating the endurance
and contributions of Arctic and Antarctic sled dogs. The exhibit was
very interesting and, of course, we found humor and irony in being
placed in there.
Our gorgeous Basenjis Ace, Buttons, Jewell, and Nan represented
the red and whites, and Batman was our lone, handsome brindle (and
only boy). Aside from minimal snarking with each other, the Basenjis
were very cordial to our two-legged visitors. While we were a bit
disheartened that only a few people came to see us (or, sadly, the Museum in general), those who did were very interested in the beautiful,
legendary barkless dogs. They enjoyed petting Batman and the girls
and perusing the Basenji-themed books, stuffed animals and trinkets
we had set up for display.
When we didn’t have visitors, the two little girls took turns taking
the Basenjis on short walks and potty breaks, and Annette and Jessica
had Jewell and Batman practice for the ring. We all shared in conversation and laughs.
When our time ended, we lovingly bid each other and the Basenjis good-bye, as we looked forward to our next Route 66 Basenji Club
event!
Just a few days later, on September 14th, the Route 66 Basenji Club
hosted an Animal Chiropractic demo. It was another rainy day in St.
Louis but it cleared up just in time for us to walk our dogs and get
everything inside without getting wet. With the weather cooperating,
everything seemed to just fall into place. However, it did not start off
that way.
This was an event we had been working on and looking forward
to for a long time. At the first meeting of the year, it was suggested to
set up a Chiropractic demo. A few of our members had been using
a local animal chiropractor for some time and other members were
interested in learning more about it. Everyone was very excited at the
idea and we got to work right away. But, for one reason or another, we
just could not seem to work out all the details with the chiropractor
we had been using: date, location and price. So we decided to table the
demo idea for a little bit.
Well, it just so happened that
at the end of the summer my
boy had a mishap jumping/slipping out of the back of my SUV
and ended up with a sore back.
I called his chiropractor and she
could not get him in for a few
weeks. That was when a friend
told me about another animal
chiropractor in the area. I did
not like the idea of taking him
to someone he did not know but
he was in pain, so I took him in.
We saw Dr. Terry Surtin and he
was great. I was so impressed at the end of the visit I asked him if he
would do a demo for the club and he said he would love to. Dr. Surtin has been a human chiropractor for over 30 years. A
few years ago his dog was not well and in pain. None of the vets he
took her to could figure out what was wrong with her. Suspecting he
knew what was wrong and what she needed, he finally found his way
to an animal chiropractor. She confirmed his suspicions and with a few
adjustments his dog was good as new. Realizing his was not the only
dog out there that could benefit from the healing art of chiropractic,
he went back to school to learn how to help animals.
Dr. Stan Carter kindly let us use the large lobby in his vet clinic
for our demo. Dr. Surtin set up in the middle of the room surrounded
by Basenjis and their owners. He seemed just as interested in learning about Basenjis and what they do, as we were about what he did.
We had 8 Basenjis that took turns on the table with Dr. Surtin. As he
worked on each of them, he talked about what he found. We had a
good mix of dogs of all ages. We had show dogs, coursing/racing dogs
and house dogs. He found shoulders that were out of place and necks
& spines that needed adjusting. A few dogs had hips that needed manipulation and almost all the dogs had a few jammed toes. As Dr. Surtin was working on one dog, he found his mid-spine to be out of place.
He asked the owner about his belly and digestion. She said he had a
nervous belly. Dr. Surtin said the dog was getting nervous and getting
a gassy belly causing him to arch his back and causing his spine to be
out of alignment. The oldest dog there, Jagger, did let everyone know
when Dr. Surtin found a sore spot but none of the other dogs fussed
or wiggled. In fact all the dogs, even Jagger, really seemed to enjoy
their time with Dr. Surtin. He gave us tips and showed us stretches to
help keep our dogs in tip-top shape and feeling great. He also showed
Debbie, Jagger’s owner, a few things she could do at home to help with
Jagger’s chronic hip pain.
Dr. Surtin talked a lot about how chiropractic adjustments were
a great tool to keep our dogs healthy. He said active dogs need to be
adjusted every 4-6 weeks. He also suggested that adjustments be done
7-10 days before a big event. Sometimes the dogs need to be kept calm
for 24 to 48 hours after an adjustment.
So if you happen to see the Route 66 dogs strutting around at
Nationals looking fabulous…it was because they were all in alignment
and feeling great.

Judges Critique
by Michael J. Dougherty
It was truly my pleasure to judge the Basenji Club
of Southeastern Wisconsin Specialty in Manitowoc,
Wisconsin, on September 20, 2011, during your National Specialty week.
My Best of Breed was a beautiful, feminine red and white bitch,
GCH DC Bantu’s Playing Rochambeau, SC. This very typey girl had
the correct outline and was a brilliant mover from all directions. A
lovely head and expression. Excellent topline and tail set. A lovely layback of shoulder and really good small, oval, and compact feet. Her
showmanship was splendid on the day.
The Best of Opposite Sex was a handsome young red and
white dog, GCh. CH Jasiri-Sukari Win Tin Tin. This elegant youngster never placed a foot wrong, and is of beautiful, correct type and
proportions. Possesses a lovely neck, shoulder and headpiece.
My Select Dog and 1st Award of Merit was GCh. CH Sonbar’s Sonic Shockwave, RE NA OAJ, a tri-color boy of excellent type
and purpose. Correct in every way. He was a beautiful, graceful mover.
The Select Bitch and 2nd Award of Merit was Ch. JasiriSukari Congo Lines, a lovely, typey brindle & white bitch. Beautiful
outline and quality. Lovely structure. And an effortless mover.
My 3rd Award of Merit recipient was Ch. Berimo African War
Paint. This ten-years young, black and white dog was also Best Veteran
on the day. He was in great condition for any age and competed
mightily. A very handsome, fine moving male of correct type.
The Winners Dog was the black and white Bred-By-Exhibitor
dog class winner, Joy-Us Move It On Over. A handsome, masculine
boy that moved splendidly.Very correct in type and outline.
Reserve Winners Dog was a red and white youngster from the
12-18 month class Raven Rock N Country Karnak. He was also correct and excellent, and contended well with the eventual Winners Dog.
Winners Bitch and ultimately Best of Winners was Sonbar’s
Xclusive Xtrovert - a beautiful red and white bitch from the 9-12
month puppy class. This youngster oozed correct Basenji type with all
the parts making up an excellent picture. And, as with all my winners,
she was a smooth and effortless mover.
And finally, the Reserve Winners Bitch was the red and white
Bred-By-Exhibitor bitch class winner, Kazor’s Mak’N My Way. A
beautiful, correct bitch that pressed the Winners Bitch throughout in a
close competition.
My winners’ heads, ears, eyes, and bites were all pleasing and correct.
And I was also pleased with good temperaments throughout the entire
entry.
At day’s end, I looked over my winners and was hugely pleased
with them. There were many really excellent Basenjis from which to
choose, and I could not have been happier with my final winners.
My thanks to the Club, and its members, for the opportunity to
officiate at your Specialty. I had a great time.
