DALLAS-FT.WORTH BASENJI CLUB By Fran Medley The DFWBC recently held its annual elections. The following are the offi cers for the 2007-2008 fi scal year: (July 1 - June 30) President: Rob Talley Vice President: Anita White Secretary: Martha Lee Treasurer: Linda Coker Board Members: Carol Talley Fran Medley (Outgoing President) Karlene Schoonover BCOA liaison: Fran Medley We also have another milestone to report - we became incorporated as a club by the state of Texas offi cially on February 16, 2007. So, we are now the Dallas-Ft Worth Basenji Club, Inc. As well as being the offi cial liaison, I will again be the Specialty Show Chair and wondered when the letter approving us will be available. Believe it or not - I have already received the paperwork from the Fort Worth Kennel Club inviting us to participate again and also the paperwork from AKC. FWKC would like theirs fi lled out and sent in July and AKC soon after that. Please let me know. RIP VAN WRINKLE BASENJI CLUB. By Susan Kamen-Marsiscano Our club sent almost $1800 to the Basenji Health Endowment this month. The quilt raffl e earned $1410, and the rest was from poster sales. Club member, Hanneke Bjiker, (www.africanmysterys.com), in the Netherlands, who bought $100 worth of tickets, won the quilt. Brenda Phillips won one of the pillows, and Simone Mullin won the other. Brenda said, "As a hobby quilter myself I so appreciate the quality of work in the pillow that I won in the raffl e. My thanks to the RVW club for sponsoring the fund-raiser." Simone was so excited, having, she says, "Never won anything, before." Also, there were fi ve bracelets,and a necklace, handmade by Jacquie Cookingham. The necklace was won by Tamara Allen. Bracelets: 1. Marianne Klinkowski 2. Debbie Mayer 3. Bob Matthai and Mary Lou Casey 4. Karen Christensen 5. Deb Tipton There now is a limited edition poster of the quilt. It will make a nice Xmas present. It'll soon appear on www.apubasenjis.com. Club member, Tamara Allen, when told we had the Linked Marker Test for Fanconi, said, "I am sure our little club with a big heart helped hugely!" HI-COUNTRY BASENJI CLUB By Pat Bird Obedience Day in the Park Hanneke writes, We braved the heat and joined obedience instructor, Elaine "Hi Susan, Holt, for an obedience class at Adams County Fairgrounds on June 16. There were nine or ten of us. We had dogs from 6-months of My scream of joy just made Martin and the dogs jump out age to 11 yrs old. of bed (they already were in, while I was checking my mail Elaine gave us instruction on how to work with our dogs on before shutting down the computer) !!!!!! I''m soooooooo the Sit, Down, Stay, in place (staying on an object like a blanket, excited !!!!!! Well, just tell the world: DONATING MONEY dog bed, etc. for an extended time) and Come commands. Elaine IS MONEY WELL SPENT !!!!!! Thanks to the Rip Van said that her German Shepherds can stay in place for up to 45 Wrinkle Club, and of course to Jo Lunetta, who made the minutes. Someone mentioned that 45 minutes might be a long quilt !!!! time to expect our basenjis to ‘stay in place’. Let's hope that the money donated by everyone will 'speed- The session gave us some techniques to use in teaching these up' the marker-search for all our Babies to be and stay commands. Thankfully, there was a large shaded area for the healthy!!!!" class. After the class, we had a potluck lunch. There were some The Basenji Club of America, Inc. BULLETIN - 44
new basenji owners present, so we had to have the basenjis give a yodeling concert for the new people. It was a fun relaxing day. GREATER CHICAGOLAND BASENJI CLUB By Arnieta Kurtz The Basenji Club of America, Inc. BULLETIN - 45 The G.C.B.C. held its thirty-third Annual Specialty and Sweepstakes. We would like to thank all our exhibitors, supporters, workers, and judges. You can see the placements and judge’s comments in the following pages. Our Sweepstakes judge was Paul Gigous. He and his late wife, Una, owned and bred basenjis for many years. Our conformation and junior showmanship judge was Karen Dumke from Wisconsin. Once again, we were at the Lake County Fairgrounds in Grayslake, IL. It was very hot and muggy. This is a big day for terrier specialties on the same grounds, so there are usually AKC reps around. Their only comments about our show had to do with the heat. It was very hot, but there is very little we can do about that. We are in a typical metal fairgrounds building. We are always glad to be in a building instead of outside in the sun, but it does get quite hot in there. Next year we hope to be in air-conditioned comfort. Due to the uncertainty about the sale of this fairgrounds, from year to year, we have been exploring other options. At this point, it looks as though we will give up our traditional June date to move to the middle of July. The Basenji Club of Southeastern Wisconsin will give up their end of July date and join us on the same weekend. AKC has given verbal approval that this is okay. Neither specialty club will be out of its area. However, until both clubs have closed out this year’s shows and sent applications for next summer, nothing is set in stone. We will be waiting for AKC and BCOA approval for this new weekend of specialties. We plan to both be on the same weekend, at the same place. The location is a training facility in a rural setting. There is parking, but no hook-ups. As mentioned before it is airconditioned, and it is fully matted. Both clubs will work together, but we will have two independent specialties, one by each club. Good chances for majors both days! For those inclined to visit the vacation playgrounds not too far away, you can stay over until the next weekend and attend the allbreed shows in Wisconsin. This will be something new for both clubs, but it should be a win-win situation -- a winning new place for both clubs and exhibitors. Just a little something different to get used to.
