Bulletin (JAN/FEB/MAR ’13) Winston is Breeder-Owner-Handled by Julie & Kathy Jones and Co-Owned by Chua Ming Kok 1 www.basenji.org PRESIDENT’S Message S ince this is a combined issue for the fourth quarter issue in 2012 and first quarter issue in 2013, I’m both reflecting on my first year as bcoa President (which definitely had its ups and downs) as well as looking towards the future. As expected, I’ve continued to learn more about bcoa and being part of a parent club’s board of directors and continue to learn about bcoa, bhe, and akc. Progress has been made on some projects and, as always, room for further progress still exists. I am proud of bcoa members’ generosity to support the American Kennel Club’s pac and akc’s Canine Legislation Support Fund, and doing something for our dogs’ futures to make an impact and pushing back against attempts at passing extreme dog laws. Thank you to everyone who has given to either of these funds. If you are interested in learning more, you can visit on-line: www.akc.org/ canine_legislation and click on the “Two Ways to Protect Your Rights” link. Other progress made in 2012 is that the bcoa website continues to be an invaluable resource with our on-line roster, breeder directory, news updates, and educational opportunities for owners, breeders, judges, and anyone else wanting to learn all about Basenjis. If you haven’t visited the Basenji University (bu) at www.Basenji.org, please do so. The bu continues to grow in different directions, most recently performance activities. bcoa has continued to reach out to the public by launching a facebook page: www. facebook.com/Basenji.org and we are also on YouTube: www.youtube.com/user/BasenjiClubofAmerica. If you haven’t already visited these sites and “liked” or subscribed to bcoa, please take a few minutes to explore and participate in your Club’s latest electronic adventures. Basenji Club of America, Inc. Bulletin (JAN/FEB/MAR ’13) Speaking of electronic advances, I would like to see bcoa be given the opportunity to ballot our members electronically for those who are able to vote in this manner. Members who lack the resources to vote electronically would not miss the opportunity to participate in a vote. A paper ballot would continue to be mailed to members who are unable to vote electronically. But, overall, electronic balloting is a time and money saver, it’s “greener” for the environment, and by using a third party to tally the votes, it also ensures ballots are secret. In case you are unaware of our current voting process, bcoa volunteers process all ballots and they (especially our secretary) donate many hours into manually putting together and processing one membership ballot. The only ballot that is not tallied by bcoa members is the annual election ballot that we pay a cpa to tally. While updating bcoa by-laws this year (recommended to be done every five years), we approached akc about electronic balloting. At this time, electronic balloting has not been approved and until bcoa can educate and explain to akc the benefits of electronic balloting by using an independent third party and how we would approach this new procedure, all by-laws updates are currently on hold. I want to thank Connie Camp for taking on the duties and responsibilities of producing our quarterly magazine for the first three issues of 2012 and also for part of 2013’s first quarter issue. Stepping outside of someone’s comfort zone and taking on a new project that is so high profile can be daunting and I appreciate Connie’s dedication and willingness to devote so much of her time to learning this job as well as actually putting together the magazine. As Connie steps away from her position as Editor of The Bulletin magazine, I want to welcome Eunice Ockerman to the job. Eunice has several years of publishing experience and has been busy working on combining the 2 Carrie Jones, President fourth quarter 2012 issue with the first quarter 2013 issue. In addition to Eunice’s expertise, she will be receiving support from previous editor, Kim Noyes. Thank you, Eunice and Kim, for joining forces and combining your talents to provide the membership with a top quality product. Speaking of The Bulletin, please be sure to review the Native African applicants for akc Studbook registry in this issue. The dogs that are profiled in this issue have passed Board vote and membership ballots will be mailed by Secretary Ketz in the next few weeks so please take time to learn about these dogs and remember to vote whether or not to recommend to akc that these dogs be granted akc registration. As many of you know, the entire native stock procedure has been under review, but nothing has yet changed so all native stock procedures are continuing now as they have in the past. Our national specialty will again be held earlier in the year than what we are traditionally accustomed to and it will be held in July. If you haven’t already looked into vacation time from work and made your hotel reservations, please start planning. Also, the Unsung Hero is announced at the annual membership meeting and submissions for this award need to be received by the Secretary, Janet Ketz, 120 days prior to the meeting so the deadline for Unsung Hero submissions is in early March of 2013. If you know of anyone who gives selflessly to bcoa and the breed, please take to time to honor them with a nomination and Board consideration. For those of you who are enjoying puppies this year, best of luck with finding loving, forever homes. Whether or not you bred a litter this year, if you have a website, please remember to keep it updated. I hope that you and your curly tailed companions enjoyed a safe and happy holiday season and best wishes for a “barootiful” 2013. —Carrie Jones www.basenji.org Basenji Club of America, Inc. Bulletin (JAN/FEB/MAR ’13) 3 www.basenji.org LETTERS TO & From THE EDITOR Specialties BCOA Supported Entries Affiliate Club Specialties, Designated Specialties & BCOA Supported entries Supported Entries There are many opinions on the subject. There are many who believe so strongly on the opinions related to this issue that it is difficult to know what is true vs. what is colored by the need for the individual opinion giver to be right beyond doubt or to prove the other side wrong at all costs. It is difficult to weed through the opinions to find the truth. At some point, a calm voice of reason will come forth and give clear and unbiased information in a manner that all can appreciate. This is my personal wish and not that of the club in whole or in part. —Connie Camp, 2012 Editor Thank you both for your observations. I hope you and others will enjoy the article “Managing Genetic Health in Pedigree Basenjis,” on page 14 of this issue and that it will spark further discussion. —Editor Basenji Club of America, Inc. Bulletin (JAN/FEB/MAR ’13) Photo Melody Henkel Greetings From the Editorial Staff Heads Up! This issue is a double issue, melding past editor Connie Camp’s 2012 fourth quarter issue into a mega issue. With some trepidation, I agreed to consider editing/designing/producing the Bulletin. I now have newfound respect for all past editors and volunteers. It is no easy task. The more I understood the scope the more challenging I realized it was. I was about to decline, but when 2011 editor Kim Noyes volunteered to lend a hand with production, I was persuaded. Between us, we have over 50 years of design experience. We both entered the field pre-desktop publishing and share bloody (literally) memories of those days. In addition to producing the Bulletin, the editor is responsible for developing content and selling ad space. But with an ever growing editorial team of volunteers (Jennifer Miller and Janet Ketz stepping up to help sell advertising space; William McCann, Katy Scott, and Donna DeFlorio offering proof-reading and content services) the position is far more manageable. We also depend on the continued support and work of Susan Chuvala in sending out 4 reminders and rounding up club news and other content; Janet Ketz for being so helpful in answering questions and tracking down information that we need. And many thanks to Linda Siekert who convinced me to take this on and without whom’s help I’d be lost. I am proud to join the list of editors; all who have contributed to make the publication special. We hope you enjoy Jan Robert’s and Bev Reid’s account of tracking with a Basenji down-under. In another story, we have consolidated comments from a short list of owners describing what makes their Basenjis different from other breeds. Share yours! The editorial team is eager to hear your comments on content and suggestions for improvement. The is what our members make it. BCOA supports entries at AKC shows to increase the attendance & participation at these shows. Supported entries are hosted either by a BCOA affiliated club or by 5 BCOA members in good standing. Supported entries are limited to 7 per region with exceptions granted on a case by case basis. These may be supported at regional Basenji specialty shows or the Basenji classes at an all-breed AKC dog show. 2013 Basenji SPECIALTIES NATIONAL SPECIALTY Jul 12–17 Basenji Club of America, Auburn, WA INDEPENDENT SPECIALTIES 2013 Jan 18 Mar 22 Jul 19 Jul 26 Aug 3 Aug 4 Eunice Ockerman Editor Willamette Valley Basenji Club Dallas-Ft Worth Basenji Club Willamette Valley Basenji Club Basenji Club of Southeastern Wisconsin Evergreen Basenji Club Evergreen Basenji Club Bulletin Archive Designated SPECIALTIES 2013 May 24 Jun 22 Donna DeFlorio Basenji Club of Cincinnati Indian Nations Basenji Club We’re looking for old issues of the Bulletin for the archives.

I realize there are some who think they are God! But seriously, which of us breeders controls a whole population? I have bred Basenjis for over ½ a century and studied genetics both in published information and in the practical real world. Can anyone explain to me how (why) “population genetics” applies to an individual’s breeding program????

Fula of the Congo joined the gene pool in a big way in 1959. “Tiger”(Binza of Laughing Brook) was brought out at the same time as Fula and while he went to Rhodesia, S. Africa he had daughters in England and a great grandson came to the USA. Kiki of Cryon was added in 1960 and Taysenji Tahzu in 1962 bringing the dominant black into play. Phemister’s Congo joined the gene pool in 1975. With the addition of Tex of Alexandria, the founder count was at 17, certainly enough for a viable population at this point. But there were more to come. When the stud book was opened there were six Avongaras registered from the 1987 importation and two from the 1988. At this time Esenjo (imported in 1978) and her offspring were admitted to the registry. In 2006, six more were brought out with the Avongara prefix. One Lukuru Basenji was admitted that year as f you listen to a few people in the breed, you might think that Basenjis are on the road to extinction. The reason they give is that there are too few founders—the gene pool is too small. Let’s look at the facts! If this is true, wouldn’t one expect to see signs of inbreeding depression? In the 1980s, some breeders panicked when Fanconi syndrome was wiping out a lot of their extended families of Basenjis. Their cries were heard over those who said they had little to no Fanconi in their lines/families. At that time, based on a nationwide survey of Basenji health and studies by Dr. Kenneth Bovee, Dr. Russell Brown, and Dr. Edward Breitschwerdt, it was assumed Fanconi was probably prevalent in about 15% of Basenjis. However, this also meant that 85% of the breed was not affected. In 2007, more than 20 years later, an indirect marker test for Fanconi was developed. Consequently, in the next few years, through careful breeding practices, the incidence level of Fanconi, using this new test, was revealed to be about 6.5 percent. This is probably an underestimated figure because owners who had Basenjis with Fanconi did not use the test because they already knew the results. Fortunately, today, there is now a direct gene DNA test that, if used properly, could wipe out Fanconi in a few generations. Fanconi syndrome is caused by a combination of missing genes; it is not a sign of inbreeding depression. One popular sire produced at least four direct tail male popular sires and his very large family contained many affected and carrier Basenjis. This group was largely responsible for the spread of Fanconi syndrome throughout this country and abroad. However, some still theorized our problem was because Basenjis did not have enough diversity because of too few founders. Let’s examine that theory. Dr. Phillip Sponenberg, dvm, PhD, Professor Pathology and Genetics, Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine, indicated that the minimum founder number could be somewhere around 10 but more would be better. Dr. Robert C. Lacy puts the number at 20 founders to build a viable population. According to Kevin Willis and Raymond E. Willis (“How Many Founders, How Large a Population,” Zoo Biology), 20 randomly selected individuals will supply 97.5% of the source population diversity while 30 founders increases it to only 98.3 percent. A very large number of founders does not increase the survival rate of a population. So where does the Basenji breed stand in all of this? There were nine founders from 1936 through 1941. They were Basanga, Bashele, Bereke, Bokoto, Bongo and Bungwa all “of Blean.” Also, Bakuma of Blean later known as Phemister’s Bois. Others were Amatangazig of the Congo in 1938 and Kindu and Kasenyi in 1941. Basenji Club of America, Inc. Bulletin (JAN/FEB/MAR ’13) well. The year 2007 saw five more Avongaras added as well as one more Lukuru Basenji. From the ’80s through 2007, twenty-two more founders were added to the gene pool making the total count thirty-nine. This is many more than most breeds have, do we really need more? Basenji breeders do a good job of keeping on top of health problems and, to date, there have been no reports of problems attributed to inbreeding depression. It is more important than ever to be selective about what is being bred in order to protect Nature’s Masterpiece. Is there really a need to add to the contamination of this ancient natural breed by using questionable dogs in the name of diversity? To quote Malcolm B.

Bulletin (JAN/FEB/MAR ’13) 7 www.basenji.org A Carol Kuna loof with strangers and not as effusive or in your face as a Golden, I explain when asked. Soon as I get the words out Eta, my younger Basenji, trots up for a little meet and greet. I know she is checking if the conversation will result in treats but, to all the world, she looks mighty interested in making a new friend. And if they have food, heck, they may become a friend. That’s worth a twitch of the tail. My credibility drops a few notches. Independent thinkers, I say to the next person who inquires, just as my dogs lunge after a squirrel. I can read their thought bubble (poorly trained dogs!) as soon as my words are out. Oh look, she/he is so submissive, lying down on the ground, exclaim a couple as they approach us on the trail with their dogs. I try to refocus my dogs and smile rather than explain their predatory behavior. A fan of their elegant looks and owner of an aging outdoor Rottie-mix asked if Basenjis were high maintenance. After a long silence, I said yes. Now it could be the way my husband and I choose to live with our dogs and the behaviors we tolerate. My gut says Basenjis are different even if I can’t articulate it. I give up. I need a new elevator speech. So I looked to people who have Basenjis and other breeds. Here is what they say. Training: My Aussie is motivated to do absolutely anything with me at any time. Doesn’t matter what it is, how long it takes, or how often it repeats. What matters is that we are doing something. He lives to please me. His toy is a much bigger motivation than a food treat. My Cavalier loves agility and long walks. He will attempt the same agility sequence several times but will burn out after he reaches his quota. He will start barking at me in frustration sometimes. He loves to please me. My Basenji, Bakari, could care less about pleasing me. It’s all about her. Is there food in my hand? Then she will do the activity quickly, accurately and enthusiastically. If there is no food in my hand, then all bets are off. If she has to repeat an activity more than just a couple of times, she is done. If I can’t figure out what we’re doing, then that’s not her problem. If she senses frustration (even not directed at her) she is done. We can be having the world’s most beautiful run and she will stop to sniff a bug or stack for the judge. Being an agility judge, they usually aren’t all that impressed. Home Life: My Aussie is a bundle of energy. Daily exercise is a must and training/ball throwing are essential for wearing him out. Mountain hikes are ideal for a few minutes of calm. He is extraordinarily gentle with the other dogs and allows the Cavalier to terrorize him. He can be demanding for attention by plunking his head down on my arm or forcefully nosing my hand for a pat. My Cavalier is pretty independent. He likes to sit in my lap for a little while but he prefers to be in his crate, guarding his precious socks/ sticks/plastic bags, etc. The dude is a pack rat. His temperament is much sharper than is allowed for in the breed standard. He is an absolute gem with Bakari and strange dogs but he is an absolute terror when it comes to the Aussie—15 lbs ruling 50. Go figure! Bakari is my snuggle bug. It is all about comfort for her and the warmest, softest place in the house is on my lap. When I am on the computer, she curls up on the dog bed next to the desk. Sometimes she will go to bed without me but it is rare. When I was sick last weekend, she stayed in bed with me the entire day, only going out to potty. All of my dogs insist on being near me but she is the one who prefers to be on me. Pat Cembura Basenjis— just what is it about them? Photo credits clockwise from top left: Standard poodle Jasper , Susan Hayek Basenji Eta, Eunice Ockerman Border Terrier Captain, brenda Phillips Australian Shepard bang, Carol Kuna Hotter Boots, Annchien Smith Rhodesian Ridgeback Gracie, Susan Hayek I often find myself explaining to people who ask me about my dogs that Basenjis are different from other breeds and different beyond the simple observation that they (typically) don’t bark. Yet when asked how they are different, I am somewhat at a loss. I grew up with dogs (Dachshunds) but Basenjis are all I’ve known as an adult. Basenji Club of America, Inc. Bulletin (JAN/FEB/MAR ’13) 8 www.basenji.org As a breeder of Basenjis for 30 plus years and the owner of Australian Cattle Dogs for over 18 years, I find the following differences: Basenjis have their own agenda, if they get something out of it all the better. They are hard-headed and very independent. They are like having a two year-old at times, very needy and want all your attention and at times like a 15 year-old always testing you to see what they can get away with. If you let them do something once, then according to them, it’s ok to do it all the time regardless of what you want. You throw a ball for a Basenji and maybe twice they will bring it back but the third time they will look at you as if to say “I brought it back twice, why do you keep throwing it away?” Cattle Dogs on the other hand, you tell them something twice and they know what to do and do it. They also just want to be your buddy and will be happy just hanging around you all day. The Basenji you will end up trying to catch if it gets out the gate. Especially if you have chickens as I do. The cattle dogs don’t bother the chickens or the cats. The Basenji is a great, clean, and quiet little compact dog, very little shedding. The Cattle Dogs have that double coat and seem to be always shedding though not as bad as some dogs, and can have a piercing bark that could shatter glass. Some Cattle Dogs will chase a ball or stick for hours, a Basenji “not so much.” I have had Basenjis that I take camping with me off-leash and they stay around just fine, that is if you can get them out of the sleeping bags on a cold morning. The Cattle Dogs are happy to sleep next to you and keep you warm! If my Basenjis get in a tussle, you could lose blood trying to break it up; the Cattle Dogs, I smack a newspaper on the counter top and they stop although they will give the “stink eye” to each other for a while. If you have a Basenji you will either “love it or hate it.” If you fall in love with our charming breed you will always have one around, no matter what they do. If you have a bad experience, you will tell people “I had a Basenji and never again!” Basenji Club of America, Inc. Bulletin (JAN/FEB/MAR ’13) Food: They will all eat anything, any time, anywhere. The Cavalier practically takes my fingers when I give him treats. The Basenji is absolutely gentle and barely grazes your fingers with her lips—never her teeth. The Aussie is excited about treats and sometimes forgets to be gentle, but not usually. The Basenji is the only one with food allergies but the others are on a grain free diet so that they can all eat the same thing. Sense of Humor: The Aussie seems surprised when he makes me laugh but he likes it. When I laugh, he seems to laugh along with me. The Cavalier is very, very serious. He doesn’t have time for all that funny claptrap. The Basenji is the only dog I have ever owned (and this includes my rescue Basenji that I owned previously) who makes me laugh on purpose. She will deliberately do things that she knows are funny and wait for me to laugh. What really blows me away is when she does it when I am feeling down. The Cavalier seems to be more in tune with my negative feelings but the Basenji is in tune with my soul. The Aussie is clueless. 9 www.basenji.org Susan Hayek Brenda Phillips I’ve been thinking about this. And I asked Leon tonight what he considered different in Basenjis. And he said, you know. What? I asked. They’re unique, said he. So I thought some more. I think, as people say, that Basenjis compare best with cats. I think of the descriptions of felines, and there are the Basenjis. They are clean. Immaculately so. And they don’t smell. Mine have never had a bath. Nor Gracie the Rhodesian, but sometimes she smells a bit. I’ve put the Basenjis in the car after they were out running and covered in stinky mud and by the time we got home they were clean. Some of my Basenjis have been inclined to groom me and the other dogs. Especially when wet. They are sleek. And they run like ponies. Other dogs are sleek, but I don’t know that they are so compact. They are sly and quiet. My Basenjis rarely have made a sound when prowling. They are extremely independent. And can be very aloof. All my Basenjis have been less concerned about their humans than they are about themselves. Where my Rhodesian is highly aggressively protective of me, and Standard Poodle Schubert would bark, I think if my Basenjis spotted danger, they’d go the other way. Basenji Quiz did seek me out when she was cold. They are clever, intelligent problems solvers. I’ve had Basenjis who could crack any cupboard. And I’ve watched them problem solve. We fenced Sarah and Nikki on the upper deck in Cambria. Second-story deck. Nikki cruised the perimeter and found the weak spot. She simply climbed the wire, or went up the corner and walked on one the railings of the deck. They unfortunately have good memories, too. Intelligent, but not necessarily trainable. I think they do only what they want. I think of the Basenjis who cross the field to get the lure instead of going around. Or the doubling up to pass others. They outthink my Gracie and both Poodles. But perhaps it’s not just the out-thinking, it’s having little desire about pleasing humans. Gracie smiles if I get upset, she tries hard to do what I want. Loud voices scare her. Same with the Poodles. Were I to yell at the Basenjis or show anger, they sit and look at me like I was crazy, totally unaffected. The others wouldn’t think of entering a room or the house if a door is only cracked. The Basenjis get the door open. Basenji Quiz flipped the little door thingy on the dishwasher door to get at the silverware and instead of fighting Basenji Jones and Gracie—Poodle Schubert wouldn’t raid the dishwasher; it’s tacky—she pulled out the tastiest spoon and licked it clean on the rug. Gracie is houndy and has some similarities to the Basenjis. When we first put in the outside dog compound, Gracie was able to move the cement squares at the bottom and dig a big hole under. She escaped with the Basenjis. The Poodles stayed behind. I’m sure they knew they weren’t supposed to go under. They didn’t want to offend. But then, Poodles were bred to please. Then there are the obvious differences: the once/year heat cycle; the lack of barking (both Quiz and Jones were/are very silent). I don’t know how to explain it, but there is an essence to my Basenjis unlike the other breeds I’ve had—Australian Shepherd, Dachshund, Poodle, Rhodesian Ridgeback. I feel like, the more I know, the more I would want to know before I feel sure saying “this is a Basenji trait.” To be honest, I feel like my Basenjis, Nike and Lucy, are more different from each other than I would have expected, and the Captain, the Border Terrier, fits right in the middle of the spectrum.

Have you seen that YouTube video Dog Friend Cat Friend? A Basenji is far too dignified to fawn like other breeds. Clean, picky about their environment, especially their own comfort. Smart but not necessarily biddable, willing to make their own decisions. I love them! Did I say elegant? I find them beautiful to look at. And of all the dogs I care for, I am the most honored when a Basenji deems me worthy of affection. —Editor’s note: Kathleen Harold is a dog sitter in Washington For more information on GCBC contact: SUSAN JOYNER, (815) 485-8592 [email protected] Superintendent for the weekend: Roy Jones Dog Shows, Inc.

A whimsical book about life with a Basenji, written and illustrated by Robert Vavra. Originally published by the BCOA in 1958, current Basenjis are a breed apart. As Pat Cembura observes, “if you have a Basenji you will either love it or hate it.” And, as Brenda Phillips notes, an individual Basenji’s behavior is exactly that—individual. So individual that perhaps Leon’s observation that they are “you know, unique” is what it comes down to. N copies include a bonus introduction by the author written in 1991.

Lacy, Ph.D. Senior Conservation Scientist, Chicago Zoological Society Committee on Evolutionary Biology, University of Chicago Science Advisor, SSC Conservation Breeding Specialist Group, International Union for the Conservation of Nature of the founders, the assumptions underlying the ‘ideal’ estimate … are not met.” Carol A. Beuchat, Ph.D. Above left, an early Fula Basenji, and at right recent puppy imports from Africa (photo courtesy of Laurie Gregory) I n response to the paper by Thompson (2012), we wish to provide some information about issues relevant to managing the genetic health of the pedigree Basenji population. Thompson provides a valuable introduction to the principles underlying genetic management of breeding programs for rare and valuable populations. One of us (rcl) has been involved in the development and application of these concepts and methods for the preservation of endangered species for the past 30 years, and we agree with Thompson, that many of the principles that have been developed for optimal management of threatened species, have value also for the management of breeds of domesticated animals. However, there are also differences in the goals and feasible methods that should be considered when adapting the lessons from endangered species management to breed management. Below, we address some of the issues raised by Thompson that might need clarification or further explanation. 1) When numbers such as 5-15 founders, or no fewer than 6, have been provided by conservation geneticists as the minimum number necessary to build a viable population, the Basenji Club of America, Inc. Bulletin (JAN/FEB/MAR ’13) context has been emergency efforts to sustain a wildlife population or species, and the emphasis is very much on a “minimum” number. Even when the possible loss of an entire species is at risk, it is debatable (and it is vigorously debated!) if it is worth putting resources into trying to build a breeding population from fewer than 6 founders. As Thompson notes, a recommendation of 20 effective founders is typical as the starting point to rescue a population at risk of extinction (Lacy 1989). Beyond the recommended minimum of 20 effective founders, zoos must carefully consider the incremental benefit of starting with larger numbers of founders, because of the considerable cost—sometimes including even the potential to seriously damage the remaining wild population by over-harvesting—of importing an additional 10 to 20 individuals of a large wildlife species that is likely difficult to capture, handle, and transport. 2) General statements about minimum number of founding individuals necessary to build a viable closed population are based on models of population genetics that assume an “ideal” population where breeding is either random or will be managed to preserve 14 genetic diversity using a breeding strategy designed for this purpose. An example of this would be a captive zoo population of a species where reproduction is carefully managed to minimize loss of genetic diversity and changes from the original, wild traits over generations. The strategy pursued in such a management plan would be to maintain equal genetic contributions of all founders to subsequent generations, as this would maintain the maximum amount of the original genetic diversity. In populations of animals (whether species or breeds) where management of reproduction is not focused purely on the preservation of the full range of characteristics (good and bad) of the founders, the assumptions underlying the “ideal” estimate (as above) are not met. Some of the variation brought into the population via the founders will likely be lost in the first few generations, and the number of founding individuals will need to be greater in order to provide an adequate genetic base for future breeding. Indeed, even in breeding programs for endangered species in zoos, we know that in spite of our best efforts some initial “potential founders” will not contribute to future generations, so that we need to start with more—sometimes many more—wild-collected animals to achieve 20 effective founders. This would likely even more so be the case in a population of purebred dogs for several reasons. A breeding plan designed to maintain as much of the founding genetic diversity as possible would require the collective cooperation of all breeders as it must use all existing reproductive dogs in an optimally designed and rigorously managed breeding scheme. But dog breeders have specific breeding priorities of their own, such as selection for particular traits in their dogs (e.g., color, leg length, behavioral traits), or preferences to use particular individuals in their breeding program. Their breeding options might also be constrained by geography, or by available space and other resources. The presence of known genetically based health issues will also influence breeding decisions, and selection against genes that can cause health problems (while sometimes necessary) further reduces the variation across the rest of the genes as well, because the selection by definition reduces the number of breeders contributing to the next generation. Thus, it seems highly unlikely that all custodians of breeding individuals could fully cooperate with a breeding strategy designed to ensure www.basenji.org Basenji Club of America, Inc. Bulletin (JAN/FEB/MAR ’13) equal contributions of all founders to subsequent generations. With selective breeding, the genetic diversity in the founding population can be substantially reduced in just a few generations (Oliehoek, Bijma, & van der Meijden 2009; Maki 2010). 3) If a large number of founders cannot be obtained initially, or if some of those lineages are lost or under-represented in subsequent generations, or if breeder goals will necessarily include selection for desired traits and against genetic problems, then low and declining diversity of the population can later be increased or restored through the addition of new founders—if available—to the breeding stock. This can bring back genetic variants that once represented the species or breed but were lost by chance, reverse incidental fixation of deleterious genes and accumulated inbreeding, and provide the diversity necessary for continued modification and improvement through selection. 4) Full analysis of the population genetics of the (worldwide) pedigree of Basenjis has not been done, so there is no information about how well the genetic diversity of founders has been maintained, or about the degree 15 of inbreeding in the existing population. A genetic analysis using pedigree information for all dogs back to founders could provide substantial insights as to the value of any additional founders. This information would also allow breeders to make the best possible decisions about the use of their breeding stock by identifying populations of dogs that are most critical to maintain in the breeding population, and the degree of imbalance in the contributions of founders to the current generation (Lacy 1989; Ballou & Lacy 1995). 5) Basenjis are one of the (very) few breeds where a large population of animals from which the founders were originally drawn still exists in Africa, and these animals have not been subject to an organized breeding program, so mating has likely been more or less random. Consequently, we can expect that in such a population, a diversity of genetic alleles will still be present. Selecting animals randomly from this well-mixed gene pool is most likely to yield a genetic subsample that reflects the actual genetic diversity in the native African dogs. If the selection of animals is not random (for example, certain traits are desired, or some traits simply do not result in dogs that will be successful breeders www.basenji.org if brought out of Africa), or if the dogs cannot be collected across the geographic range (possibly resulting in some lineages in Africa being sampled several times), then a larger number of new founders is required to obtain a good representation of the diversity of the breed. 6) We assume that the desire to increase the genetic heterogeneity of the pedigree Basenji population is motivated at least in part by concern about the possibility of unacceptable levels of genetic diseases in the future as a consequence of the small size of the founder population and subsequent inbreeding. Such problems have arisen in many breeds (canine and otherwise) that descend from small numbers of founders or have small breeding populations, and can be difficult to counter once the problems become prevalent enough to be to make it clear that restoration of genetic variation is needed. However, one issue breeders might be concerned about is that the addition of new animals can introduce again to the breeding stock potentially deleterious genes. We do not believe that this problem will be significant enough to override the benefits of restored genetic variation. The problem is not that deleterious alleles exist— as it is the case that all animals carry some deleterious recessive alleles and a few new ones arise by mutation every generation—but rather that in a small population or one with few founders some of the deleterious alleles can be expressed in homozygous condition in a number of animals. It should be noted that natural selection continues to work on wild populations, and with much greater force and efficiency that in populations under our care, so that deleterious alleles will have been held to very low frequencies. In a large, genetically diverse population, therefore, the probability of producing offspring that are homozygous for the disease allele is very low. Especially for Basenjis, which in Africa are subject to strong natural selection when they fend for themselves, it is reasonable to expect that in the absence of evidence to the contrary, the animals should be genetically healthy, and a checkup from a veterinarian should satisfy to catch anything that might become a problem. Again, the key to managing health issues is maintaining the genetic diversity of the breeding dogs. If a deleterious allele does become common enough to be a problem for the breed, selection against that allele Basenji Club of America, Inc. Bulletin (JAN/FEB/MAR ’13) might be practiced, but we need to recognize that such selection will also reduce the genetic diversity across the rest of the genes, and any beneficial traits carried by the dogs that are removed from breeding will be lost (Lacy 2000). Thus, having high diversity within the breeding stock is essential both to minimize expression of deleterious traits and to allow selection to be practiced when desired without inadvertently jeopardizing the genetic health of the breed. 7) Thompson (2012) discusses the often-cited number of 50 and correctly notes that this refers to a recommendation for a minimum effective population size, not the minimum number of founders. For the reasons number of breeding animals, and this leads to more rapid loss of the genetic diversity that was brought in via the original founders. The recommendation of a minimum effective population size of 50 is equivalent, mathematically, to a recommendation to keep the rate of increase in the coefficient of inbreeding below 1% per generation. This recommendation arises from the centuries of experience of animal breeders regarding what level of inbreeding can be accepted for a moderate number of generations without incurring risk of genetic damage in the form of higher frequency of genetic defects and lower overall average fitness of individuals. High levels of inbreeding have well documented deleterious effects including reduced fertility, “10% loss of diversity is not the benchmark for an acceptable starting point, but rather is often defined as an end point below which a population should not be allowed to descend, or as the point at which quick action should be taken to obtain new founders to restore variation.” discussed above, achieving the recommended 20 effective founders, might require fewer or more than 50 initial imported animals. The recommendation of 50 as a minimum effective population size derives from a desire to minimize the accumulation of inbreeding subsequent to the founder generation. The definition that Thompson gives for effective population size is correct only under very specific and idealized circumstances. Effective population size is not, in general nor in most populations, “the current number of breeding individuals in a population that contribute genes to succeeding generations.” Effective population size is the number of breeding animals in a theoretical random breeding population that would experience the same rate of change in allele frequencies, or the same degree of inbreeding, as seen in the actual population (Lacy 1995). The number of breeding animals will be close to the effective population size only if breeding is truly random. Of course, in any real breeding program, breeding is far from random and some lineages contribute more to the population as a whole than others, because breeders select for specific traits or are limited in their choice of sire. In pedigreed dog breeds, the effective population size will likely be substantially smaller than the actual 16 decreased litter size, lower birth weight, lower survival, decreased resistance to disease, and decreased tolerance of environmental stress (Charlesworth & Willis 2009; Keller & Waller 2002; Lacy 1997; Ryan et al. 2002). Not every inbred animal will be affected, but the probability of problems increases and the average level of performance declines. Moreover, it is not predictable which lineages will suffer from inbreeding problems, and selection programs aimed at reversing inbreeding problems usually have only limited effectiveness (Lacy 2007). 8) Whenever possible, within breeding programs for rare wildlife species, we start to seek out new animals to boost genetic diversity again whenever the cumulative mean inbreeding level increases to about 5% or more. When cumulative inbreeding levels reach 10% or higher, we consider the need for new animals to be urgent. For example, the Association of Zoos and Aquariums recently decided to open up breeding of even endangered species to exchange with private breeders who are not accredited members nor bound by association policies that require registry of animals in studbooks, when the breeding population mean inbreeding rises above 10%—unless a plan is in place to www.basenji.org quickly bring in new founders to restore the lost variation to the more tightly controlled population. Thompson (2012) mistakenly describes the goal of 90% of the diversity of the source population (equivalent to cumulative inbreeding no greater than 10%) as the goal for starting a population, whereas the 90% criteria is actually widely applied as the limit for acceptable genetic decay over the longterm (e.g., 100 years) for a viable population designed to sustain and represent the source population (i.e., 10% loss of diversity is not the benchmark for an acceptable starting point, but rather is often defined as an end point below which a population should not be allowed to descend, or as the point at which quick action should be taken to obtain new founders to restore variation). While conservation biologists do aim to start breeding programs of wildlife with at least 20 effectively contributing breeders (i.e., 97.5% of source diversity), we recognize that after a number of generations of propagating a small breeding stock, we often cannot avoid losing some or even much of the diversity that had been present in the founders. The goal of never dropping below 90% of the source population diversity drives both the recommendation to start with much more diversity than this, and the recommendation to maintain an effective population size greater than 50 so that further losses are no more than 1% per generation. A simple calculation shows that if the starting diversity is about 97.5% and 1% is lost in each subsequent generation, then the population can be sustained above the 90% goal for only 7-8 generations. Although this short-term strategy often is acceptable for endangered species breeding programs that are designed to be a temporary reserve for a species until they can be returned to a better protected wild habitat (e.g., as has been done with condors, black-footed ferrets, Mexican wolves, and red wolves), presumably people who sustain special breeds of dogs are interested in longer term preservation. Therefore, good genetic management will require more initial founders, a much larger breeding population allowing slower inbreeding, more rigorous control over breeding based on pedigree rather than expressed traits, and/or periodic replenishment of diversity with new founders. 9) Inbreeding levels in some dog breeds are aware of the value for Basenjis, we would expect that it is probably higher than 10% as well. For perspective, a mean inbreeding level of 10% is the equivalent of having the genetic diversity that would be provided by only 5 founders—which would not seem to be a very good representation of the breed. So for the pedigree Basenji, which is an unmanaged population (i.e., there is no single authority responsible for making breeding decisions), and which has limited opportunities for introducing new breeding stock on a regular and continuing basis, we would recommend that breeders should not forego the opportunity to add new animals whenever dogs representing the breed can be added to the breeding programs. This will help to maintain the genetic diversity in the population as a whole in the face of the conflicting demands on breeders. For all purebred dogs (and wildlife species, for that matter), the goal is healthy animals that represent the breed well and can continue to respond to selection. Selecting only for breed-specific traits without also actively working to sustain the underlying genetic diversity needed to produce a healthy dog would ultimately result in failure. Two well established and even fundamental principles of genetic management are that (1) accumulated inbreeding almost inevitably causes reduced fitness and performance in a sexually reproducing species, and (2) variation is necessary to allow successful selection for desired traits or against deleterious traits. With adequate knowledge of the ancestry and current genetic structure of the breed, and some prudent breeding strategies, breeders can achieve their breeding goals while protecting the health of their animals and safe-guarding the future of the breed. Pedigree analysis software is available for assessing the effective population size, the loss of genetic variation to date, the rate of accumulation of inbreeding, and the potential benefits of adding new founders (Lacy, Ballou, & Pollak 2012). Genetics management advisors who are experienced in pedigree analysis for zoos would likely be available to assist by providing analyses and advice to Basenji and other dog breed groups. Regularly updating the genetic analysis of the population as new individuals are added by birth or introduction, and revisiting the breeding plan in light of new information, is the best strategy to assure the health of the breed for the long term.

Jimmy’s first official lesson was at 11 weeks old, with Gordon Cole, an obedience trainer with the local German Shephard club. He used the step method: Gordon held Jimmy and let him watch Pat put down treat, take a step, put down treat, one step, treat , and so on for 10 steps, then put down a “dump or jackpot” (six pieces). Then, with Jan on the end of the lead, Jimmy went from treat to treat for 10 steps. He realized what was involved after about three steps. Next time—treat every second step and add a curve at the end. Jimmy learned very fast that at the end of the track was a jackpot. The second time he did it he ate the treat at the start, then followed the scent of Jan’s footsteps to the jackpot at the end. To heck with the bits in between—better to get the jackpot at the end. At left is Jan with Turnip. Facing page, Bev and Aussie. Tracking with Basenjis in Australia By Jan Robert and Bev Reid T he dog sport of tracking is conducted in the cooler months in Australia. Our summer temperatures range from hot to ridiculous, and the ‘Joe Blakes’ (snakes) are out in abundance during this time. Unfortunately, the majority of our snakes are among the most deadly in the world, and I (as an ex-Kiwi) am happy to give them the right of way. So all the Tracking fanatics count down the days till the weather cools down—with the first Trial being conducted in early May, and the last in late September. The dog is on a harness and a 10 metre lead. He does all the work; the handler just happens to be on the end of the lead. The only input from the handler is to keep the dog focused. Any attempt to “lead” the dog will result in a fail. culminating in the Tracking Champion (tch). To get the Tracking Dog title, the dog must achieve a Pass in three different Tracks, indicating the articles left along the track by the tracklayer, and finding the person hidden at the end of the Track. The Tracklayer has the reward provided for the dog by the owner. There are a further three Tracks to pass for the tdx title—and for their Tracking Championship a final track must be successfully negotiated. These Tracks (depending on their level) range from 400 metres in length up to 1.2 km in length. The length of time the track has been “cooking” ranges from 20 minutes for a beginner, up to two–three hours for the tch. Tracking is done in all weathers whether it is teeming with rain, snowing or blowing a gale. The only thing which would postpone the start of a trial would be pea souper fog—because the Tracklayer needs to be able to see the flags in order to lay the track for the dog. Tr acking Levels in Austr alia There are two levels of Tracking in Australia—the initial level involving the Tracking Dog (td) title; the Tracking Dog Excellent (tdx); and Basenji Club of America, Inc. Bulletin (JAN/FEB/MAR ’13) 18 www.basenji.org achieved good passes. Bev felt that Aussie had an easier job doing the tsd titles—the person at the end has to be found, but it is not necessary to find any articles on the track. The typical bit of Basenji “cutting corners” is frowned upon but in one test Aussie had already worked out where the person was. His theory was why go the long way round when you can achieve the same result just by cutting straight across to them! Aussie doesn’t “do” cold. He and Bev were tracking in sleet and light snow. After finding the tracklayer successfully, the judge, tracklayer, stewards and Bev had to retrace their steps to get back to the starting point. Not Aussie! He took off flat-out with Bev struggling along behind him—straight back to the base camp and into the shed beside the pot-bellied stove. Let the others find their own way home—Aussie wasn’t going to be cold for anyone. Aussie’s final urban night track was a magnificent effort—800 metres at night in a city achieved in eight minutes for a Pass grading of Excellent! The judge was running to keep up! Aussie missed the award as the top tsd dog for the year by a measly one point. Not bad for the first Basenji up against the multitude of Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Dobermans that normally frequent the Tracking Trials. The Tr ack and Search Dog title There are two levels to climb to achieve the pinnacle of Track and Search Dog Excellent (tsdx). At this stage, there is not a Championship for Track and Search but it is hoped to add this level in the very near future. The first level (involving the passing of three tests) is Track and Search Dog (tsd). The second level, also comprising three tests, is Track and Search Dog Excellent (tsdx). The last tsd test to achieve Excellent is an urban night test. T o the best of our knowledge there are only three Basenjis that have trialled consistently (at this stage) in Australia. The groundbreaker is the little old man Dual Ch Taqsim Signet Silkn Smoke tsdx (Aussie to his friends). Aussie’s handler is his proud breeder Bev Reid. His sire is Ch Tamsala Silkn Memory and his dam the black/white American import Aust/Amer Ch Signet Where There’s Smoke bred by Brenda Cassell. He was born 7 August, 2000. Aussie started tracking at the tender age of 9 years, and consistently passed his tests. He liked to have a roll on some ‘roo poo’ here, check out that log there, sniff out the bunnies over there—but he always came straight back onto his track. Aussie was the first Basenji to achieve a Tracking Championship title in Australia. He then progressed to his tsd titles, and once again Basenji Club of America, Inc. Bulletin (JAN/FEB/MAR ’13) Aussie’s success at Tracking Trials encouraged me to start tracking with my Swedish import Ch Yulara Mutua (Turnip). I had first read 19 www.basenji.org It’s not about you—or your show wins—or who you know—it is all about the dog. You are merely the person holding the end of the lead. Your dog does the work—whether he’s industriously wrapping you around a gum tree, checking out the wildlife or tracking enthusiastically to find the Tracklayer and get his treat (Jimmy’s favourite is barbequed kangaroo sausages). “Turnip is so curious,” writes Jan. “He has to check out everything and often forgets to come back on track. It took me a long time to be able to read his body language and know when he was just stuffing around. He would acknowledge a corner with a tiny flick of his ear and continue straight on to check something out. If I missed that flick and followed him and he would just say, ‘oh well she wants me to go this way, whatever!’ “Jimmy (shown at right) is the opposite—very easy to read. He just puts his head down and goes: Right on the track, can’t deviate anywhere, must find the person with the treat at the end. He ignores the person—just says ‘give me the food—now!’” Track and Search Dog Excellent (tsdx) A Test Six Urban Evening/Night Track The track is 800 metres. A person has become lost in a contaminated urban search area. It usually takes several hours before the person is reported missing therefore most urban searches are conducted after dark. This type of track is the most common type of track worked by Search & Rescue dogs as the majority of all missing people become lost in urban areas. “Tracking is very addictive—all the people that Bev and I track with are fascinated with the Basenjis. They don’t track like ‘normal’ breeds which many of our judges have commented on, and they take a bit Explanation of tsdx 5 Urban & tsdx 6 Night Tracks The tracks are 800 metres long. A person has become lost in a contaminated urban search area of varied surfaces including tar-sealed roads, pavements, grass and foot trails. It should include distractions such as parked cars, light vehicle and pedestrian traffic. The Track should be laid utilizing any and all structures on site to ensure that dogs are able to handle the diffusion of scent created by these structures. Tracks may be laid in close proximity to buildings and fences. The exact start point of the track should be known to the handler (i.e., a residential gateway, front door or car door). The track should not cross a main road. Every care should be taken when working the dog in traffic and to shorten the lead and collect up any loose lead behind, ensuring the safety of the dog should it attempt to cross a busy road. If the person responsible for setting out the track is someone other than the judge, they will be known as the Track Steward and will accompany the Tracklayer at a discreet distance to ensure that the map is followed exactly. They will also accompany the judge when the track is being judged. When mapping out the area for the tsdx 5 and tsdx 6 tracks, careful consideration must be given to the various types of terrain on the track. Judges must be mindful that the scent will cling to fences, kerbs, foliage of any type etc, even though the track may have been laid on the street verge. Asphalt and smooth concrete does not hold the scent as well as other types of terrain. Some allowance needs to be made for difficult terrain, but at the same time, such terrain should not be avoided. Cars and other traffic will permeate the air with fumes which adds extra challenges to the dog. Vehicles are often parked on street verges or driveways after the track has been laid and the dog is expected to continue tracking whilst negotiating changes on the track. The tsdx 6 track may utilize areas lit by street lights, safety lighting around buildings and some areas which are quite dark. Tracks may be laid in the late afternoon in order for the Tracklayer to make use of daylight and then worked during late evening or after dark. Where lighting is poor, it is essential that the handler wears a good head light to ensure that some visibility is given and they are able to discern between ground levels to minimize minor injuries. As no markers are in place for the Tracklayer to follow, the Tracklayer will be provided with a detailed map and the Track Steward who will be familiar with the track can follow closely to theTracklayer when the track is being laid to ensure that it is laid correctly. Note that the map must clearly indicate which side of the road the Tracklayer is to walk. The best advice I can give is to trust your dog. The bond built up between you and your Basenji is something to cherish. N of time for the judges to get used to. Basenjis think for themselves and you can see them working out the solution to a problem.” Requirements for tests Tracking Test One Trail approximately 400 metres. Known Tracklayer. Two changes of direction. One article on the track. The track is laid 20–40 minutes before the dog starts. The Tracklayer must be found. His first trial was not a success, having always trained in paddocks. His initial experience with bush was overwhelming and he became rather confused. But since that time, he has rediscovered his joy for Tracking and has quickly passed up to the Tracking Dog level. Jimmy is a better tracking dog than his father in that he only wants to find the person at the end for the goodies—whereas Turnip liked to take the scenic route. about Basenji’s tracking back in the 1970’s in Hawaii with Rex Tanaka and his magnificent Basenji Ch Il-Se-Ott Golden Majorette. At that stage, a dog had to have their highest Obedience title before they could progress to Tracking—and I knew that was never going to happen with any Basenji I owned. Turnip took to Tracking like a duck to water, but whereas Aussie always came straight back onto his track after a little side detour—Turnip liked to investigate. It took a while (and several failures on Turnip’s part) for me to be able to read his body language better, and know when he was ‘off with the fairies’. His most embarrassing episode during a track was when he was called off his Track 5 by the judge. The track was in a sheep paddock— the bane of my existence! The previous dog, a Vizsla, had to do his track in torrential horizontal rain. He passed. For Turnip’s track, the rain stopped—but apparently the addition of water to sheep droppings makes them the most tempting substance ever. Turnip spent the first 200 metres grabbing sheep ‘poo’ from both sides of the track! He was beside himself with the taste—it was like a drug. The judge stood it for only so long and then stopped the test. With a bit of training for the rest of the track, Turnip learned that sheep poo was not as tempting as he had first thought. Turnip passed his Tracking Championship in 2012. He will start his tsd in the next 12 months. The third Basenji taking part in Tracking Trials is Turnip’s tricolour son Jimmy (Tamsala Jiminy Cricket). He started his training as a baby puppy and his main aim in life is to find the person at the end because they have “goodies.” Basenji Club of America, Inc. Bulletin (JAN/FEB/MAR ’13) its conclusion. The dog shall be started 60 to 90 minutes after the main track has been laid. There will be two articles placed on the track. The Tracklayer must be found at the end of the track to obtain a pass. I had shown my Basenjis consistently for 42 years in conformation. The thing that I noticed immediately after taking up Tracking was the difference in the people and their attitude towards each other and their dogs. Gone are the fancy outfits to compliment their dog in the ring. In their place are solid waterproof shoes, warm clothing, beanies, and waterproof jackets. The strangely shaped ‘boobs’ on the women are the heavy socks shoved in the bra to get the scent established beforehand on articles used to lay the track. Likewise the men all have “beer bellies” from socks under their coats. There is a lot of hanging around in Tracking while you await your dog’s turn to track. During that time, we have lots of friendly chatting around our cars in the bush clearings—or sitting around a potbellied stove pumping out the heat. Everyone is happy to help each other—whether solving a problem like Turnip’s sheep poo fetish, or the best harness and where to buy it. You soon find yourself helping to lay tracks by being a Tracklayer or as a diversion or learning to be a steward. 20 www.basenji.org Tracking Champion Test Requirements, Test Seven Track length 1200 metres. Two cross tracks. Three articles on the track. Minimum of six turns, of which two are acute. Blind start—the start article is placed in a sealed plastic bag—the dog finds the start of the track. The track is laid 90-180 minutes prior to the test. Track and Search Dog (tsd) Test One The dog is required to track an unknown person over a trail of approximately 800 metres of varied surfaces which may include vegetation, sand, gravel limestone or similar. The Track will have four changes of direction. Thirty minutes after the main tracklayer has commenced the track, the first part of the Track will be re-walked by a diversion Tracklayer. The diversion Tracklayer will rewalk the track for not less than 30 metres from the start and leave no closer than 30 metres from the first change of direction. The start flag and all other flags indicating the direction of the track up to the point where the diversion Tracklayer makes his/her turn, will be left in position by the main Tracklayer. The diversion Tracklayer will remove the start flag and all other flags up to the point where the main Tracklayer has continued on. The starting line flags will remain. The Judge will, when the track has aged sufficiently, take the Handler and the dog to approximately 30 metres from the starting line, hand or indicate the unopened bag to the Handler and inform him that he is free to start tracking. The dog will be in harness and must hunt for the track by free quartering off-lead or searching on-lead (fixed collar). When the dog has indicated to the handler that it has located the track, the dog must be stopped sufficiently to allow the tracking lead to be fastened onto the harness. The dog must then follow the track to Basenji Club of America, Inc. Bulletin (JAN/FEB/MAR ’13) 21 www.basenji.org Measuring Station 2012 Report Breeders Education Committee Laurie Stargell and Susan Coe From the Standard: “Ideal height for dogs is 17 inches and bitches 16 inches. Dogs 17 inches and bitches 16 inches from front of chest to point of buttocks.” T he Measuring Station was visited by 144 dogs in July 2012 at the bcoa Nationals in Gettysburg, PA. The dogs were not all conformation dogs; many performance dogs and a number of strictly companion dogs were also measured. One-hundred and forty-four Basenjis seems like quite a few dogs (especially if you were in line patiently waiting to be measured, or doing the measuring!) but when it is broken down into sex and age categories it isn’t a statistically dependable sampling as of yet. So please plan on attending the Measuring Station in July 2013 at the bcoa Nationals in Auburn, WA to have your Basenjis included in this important study. The breakdowns are shown in the charts for Adult Males, Adult Females, Puppy Males and Puppy Females. The adult categories were for individuals over one year old and the puppies were all between 6 months and one year old. Participants on the thin or rather plump side were noted. The 65 Adult Males were born between December 1997 and January 2011. There were 11 males who measured right on 17 inches tall but their lengths varied. Another 23 males were just over 17 up to and including 17½ inches tall. Eight males were just “under” with measurements from 16½ up to but not including 17 inches. So from 65 males, 41 were within one-half inch below or above 17 inches. Just three males were outside of an inch (16-18 inches) of the standard for height. Taken together, this indicates that 95% of the males measured were within an inch of the “ideal” 17 inches. The average height of the Adult Males was 17½ inches and length was 18¾ inches. The weight column is interesting to look over but not too informative as there doesn’t seem to be a correlation with the height/length and weight information. The desired weight from the standard: “Approximate weight for dogs, 24 pounds and bitches, 22 pounds.” The male closest to the standard in height, length and weight is highlighted in the table. Another dog was the same height and length but his weight was not as close to the standard. The 54 Adult Females were born between November 1997 and January 2011. The average height was 16 ⅛ inches tall. The average length was 17⅛ inches long. So the ratio of height to length is close to one inch longer than tall. An interesting aside was that one of the largest males was a littermate to one of the smallest females. Some general notes: 10 of the 54 ladies were right on 16 inches tall; 20 more were between those and 16½ inches. Five were just over 16 and up to 16½ inches. Just 6 females were outside of an inch (15-17 inches) of the standard for height. In summary, 89% of the females were within an inch of the desired height. The lengths varied considerably. No one single female seemed to fit as close to the parameters of 16" x 16" x 22 pounds as did the single male. The girls who measured closest, and some came very close, to square tended to weigh well under the desired 22 pounds. Two who are closest are highlighted in the chart. The Puppy charts are set out by age rather than by size. The youngest are first. The youngest Puppy Male was born in January 2012 and the oldest in November 2011. The youngest Puppy Female was born January 2012 and the oldest in November 2011. The chart shows the Puppy Females from youngest to oldest. N See charts facing page. Measuring Your Basenji With the dog standing in a relaxed manner, that is not stretching up to make itself impressively tall or crouching, the height is measured from ground to the highest point of the shoulder blade. The length is measured from the front of the chest, the slight fore-chest that all dogs have to the furthermost point of the rear that is at the end of the pelvis at the point of buttocks. The scale used for the Measuring Station was similar to what is professionally used at veterinarian offices for small dogs.

The ecr and cdod have been up and running since November 1, 2012. Western Waukesha County Dog Training Club Ixonia, Wisconsin Indoors—Air Conditioned SPECIALTY JUDGES Dr. Edna K. Martin, Conformation Mrs. Lisa Marshall, Sweepstakes (Puppy and Veteran) Reports the ofa: Ofa Eye Certification Registry exams are ophthalmic examinations, performed by acvo Diplomates, to assess dogs for the presence or absence of observable hereditary ocular disease. Dogs with normal exam results will receive ofa eye certification numbers valid for one year. SILENT AUCTION BREAKFAST & LUNCH ONSITE Ofa goes on to say: Recognizing that animals presenting for a Certification Exam represent a biased population of primarily normal dogs, the cdod will capture aggregate statistics regarding disease prevalence for those animals presented to acvo Diplomates in private and institutional clinical practices. The acvo Vision for Animals Foundation, which supports research into ocular disease in animals, will receive a portion of the proceeds from all ofa eye registrations. CLOSING DATE Wednesday, July 10, 2013 at Show Secretary’s Home Beth Straub, Show Secretary 304 Essex Park Drive O’Fallon, MO 63366 [email protected] President of vdb/cerf Robert Malinowski, dvm, ma responded in part: The new registry is a separate organization from cerf. Cerf is not merging with ofa, nor are we being acquired by ofa. Cerf will remain an independent entity and will continue its close working relationship with ofa and acvo Diplomates. ENTER ONLINE bcosw.org (go to online shopping) Plan to attend these shows as well How, then, should bcoa members understand these changes? First, some background. Purdue University and its American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists (acvo) has long been the educational hub for training veterinarians who wish to specialize in ocular disease. A graduate of the acvo is said to be an acvo Diplomate. Waukesha Kennel Club Saturday, July 27, 2013 (BCOSW supported entry) Sunday, July 28, 2013 Waukesha County Exposition Center Waukesha, Wisconsin Many years ago, the acvo decided that they didn’t want to be in the database business, hiring and managing an administrative staff to produce eye exam certificates for dog owners, so the acvo subcontracted that task to a database vendor. That vendor was Canine Eye Registration Foundation (cerf). Superintendent Onofrio Dog Shows, LLC www.onofrio.com [email protected] Basenji Club of America, Inc. Bulletin (JAN/FEB/MAR ’13) Cerf printed the exam forms as specified by the acvo. After the exam, owners had the option to mail their copy, along with a fee, to cerf. Cerf would then issue a number and a certificate. In recent years, cerf began to provide their issued certificate information to ofa for their database. Breeders who test for eye issues are very familiar with this process. 26 www.basenji.org As many of you may know, every two years a board of acvo veterinarians reviews the cerf database of eye exams by breed to look for trends or concerns which might suggest hereditary issues. This board has made two recommendations aimed specifically at Basenjis: 1) the presence of iris-to-iris positioned persistent pupillary membranes (ppm) will not prevent a Basenji from being certified. 2) The exam procedure acvo vets are to follow is to first examine for ppm and then apply drops to dilate the pupils for the rest of the exam. Over time, it became clear to the acvo and its review board that the data they were getting from cerf was skewed; biased toward the primarily normal population of dogs presenting for a cerf exam. Often, if a dog’s eye exam resulted in a diagnosis which would prevent it from being certified, owners would take the information into account when planning future breedings but would chose not to pay $12 to send the exam results into cerf. Without the abnormal results, the database provides an inaccurate view of eye health to researchers and breeders. The data most useful to the acvo would require a more complex and comprehensive database than cerf was able or willing to supply. Acvo’s search for an alternative database contractor led them to ofa which has the most extensive animal health database in the world. Ofa was willing to work with acvo to create a new database: the Clinical Database for Ophthalmic Diagnoses (cdod) and a partner registry, Eye Certification Registry (ecr). Acvo believes that breeders, owners and dog breeds in general will be better served by the cdod and ecr. 2012 BCOA National Specialty DVDs Enjoy puppy antics, seasoned competitors, and the African Stock Exhibition—all from the best seat in the house. The complete DVD set is only $160. DVDs are also available individually. The ofa has committed to more frequent and enhanced reporting of aggregate statistics regarding disease prevalence and progression by breed. Enhanced reporting will be available for acvo Diplomates and for Parent breed clubs. Regularly updated aggregate statistics will be available to the public on the ofa website. The ofa’s cdod will capture data from acvo Diplomates on canine eye exams conducted in an institutional or practice setting where the dog is presenting for reasons other than a certification exam. The inclusion of this data will greatly enhance disease monitoring. As a not-for-profit organization, the ofa will be sharing a negotiated percentage of all eye registrations with the acvo Vision For Animals Foundation to support research leading to the treatment and elimination of ocular disease. Submission of eye exams to the ofa will support all of these efforts and will maximize the value of data in a single central database. YouTube video clips of your dog(s) only; in motion and on the table during the examination can be ordered with the purchase of any other DVD. They may not be purchased individually. These clips are a great record of your dog's performance at the National Specialty and can be uploaded to your website, YouTube, FaceBook or anywhere you would like your dog to be seen! Sweepstakes Puppy and Veteran $35 African Stock Exhibition $35 So there are, indeed, changes in the world of canine eye exams. But some things haven’t changed at all. The exam itself is exactly the same; only the form is slightly different. Acvo Diplomates are not changing exam procedures; they are not looking for anything new. Conformation Regular Dog Classes $35 Regulat Bitch Classes $35 Best of Breed $35 One change all of us will have to get used to, however, is an addition to our vocabulary; the addition of ecr as the new database collection agency offering certification. In a very short time, ecr and cdod will roll off our tongues as easily as akc or cerf or ofa.

George Woodard Heartfelt thanks go out to three of our knowledgeable mentors from the Pacific Northwest for demonstrating true excellence in the fine art of mentoring our up and coming conformation judges. In the words of appreciative judge Harold R. Brizee: “Just a short note to say how great a job Bryan Gregory, Laura Pond, and especially Katie Campbell did as tutors at the Evergreen Basenji Club Specialty and the Western Washington Hound Association shows earlier this month. Their very positive approach to discussing the strong points of your breed rather than dwelling on the faults was most refreshing. I consider this one of the two best educational experiences I’ve had in my 20 years of judging. This experience will serve me well when I apply for your breed at the end of next year and you and your club should be proud to be represented by three such fine people. Katie went overboard to insure that I was well attended during the three days of shows, for this I give special thanks.” Well done, ladies and gentleman. Upcoming events for the Judges Education Committee include the AKC/DJAA Judges Education Coordinator Symposium in Orlando, FL in December, the American Canine Education Foundation Hound Institute in Louisville, KY in March and the BCOA National Specialty in Auburn, WA in July. As always, the JEC Slide Show can use your informative photos to illustrate the finer points of breed type. Please keep them coming! We have a very busy year scheduled as we have been asked to do breed presentations for all three of the major judges associations in 2013. We will be at the American Canine Education Foundation’s Hound Group Institute in Louisville, KY in March, the Dog Judges Association of America Hound Breeds Seminars and Workshops in Houston, TX in July and the American Dog Show Judges Advanced Institute in Indiana, PA in August. Dave Mills We are looking forward to the BCOA National Specialty and our own Judges Breed Study Group in Auburn, WA on July 17. We will be handing out copies of the updated Illustrated Standard at these seminars and have already seen a great response to the new brochure. We have had another instance of a judge uncurling a Basenji’s tail in the ring and this time, unfortunately, a junior showmanship competitor was involved. We discussed the situation with the AKC and a letter will be printed in an upcoming issue of the judges’ newsletter The Standard to remind judges not to uncurl tails, no matter how tempting it may be. The AKC will also revise the Junior Showmanship Guidelines to inform judges that they are not to uncurl the tail during a breed specific examination of the Basenji. If you see this happening in the ring, please let me know.

Bulletin (JAN/FEB/MAR ’13) 29 www.basenji.org Club CLUB COLUMNS columns CLUB COLUMNS HI-Country Basenji Club by Pat Bird ROUTE 66 Basenji CLUB REPRESENTING THE CONGO at PURINA FARMS’ INTERNATIONAL CHEESE, WINE, and CANINE FESTIVAL by Angela Anderson We had our Christmas Party/meeting in early Dec. We talked a lot about our dogs, elected officers, discussed what we want to do next year, ate, and exchanged gifts. Kim McNeill made 15 snugglies, sold them and donated the proceeds to Peggy Shifflet, coordinator of CO Basenji Rescue. Thank you, Kim. That was very generous. As always, it was fun to sit around and talk about our Basenjis and their antics. N We were all quite confident that 1st Place would be ours. How could we not win? To wit: Half of our booth actually featured a grass hut which housed carved dark-wood benches, African drums, a “dirt” floor, and a blazing “campfire.” The other half of our booth was decorated with African-motif cloths; we provided quality Basenji literature as well as information about Basenji rescue. We featured not only authentic Congolese artifacts, but also photos of real, live African Basenjis living in the wild with their native Congolese humans. Plus, every member of The Route 66 Basenji Club was dressed in the Congolese style (except for one who cleverly dressed in adventure clothes with a camera hanging around her neck, representing our “photographer in the wild”), and we had no less than 13 canine Basenji “ambassadors” with us! When Purina Farms announced the Festival, our club was quick to sign up as participants. Since several members of The Route 66 Basenji Club also belong to The Show-Me Basenji Club, we reasoned that both clubs should enjoy the recognition, the fruits of our labor of love, and the pride therein. Purina Farms’ idea was brilliant: guests could sample cheeses and wines from around the world, enjoy live entertainment (including German dancing, Irish dancing accompanied by live instrumentalists, and Middle Eastern belly dancers), all the while visiting with dogs representing various countries of origin. Clubs were encouraged to design/ decorate booths in manners that would best represent their breeds in addition to providing meaningful information about them. Our energetic club pounced on the idea of a hut, and to make it happen, we borrowed props and contributed many of our own (drums, hunting bells, photographs, artifacts). We made certain to provide literature about Basenjis, and even supplied brat brochures. Our booth was fabulous, and our Basenjis themselves were terrific. We even earned some bragging rights: A journalist working for Purina Farms chose our dogs and booth to feature in Today’s Breeder, and the photographer took dozens of photos to accompany the story. The festival attendees (and even other presenters) raved about our setup. The realistic-looking, flickering, yet completely fake campfire was a favorite piéce de resistance. We were told by many that we were a sure-win, and that we had received their votes for Favorite Booth. However, we did have some good competition. The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club’s booth was cleverly decorated like a castle (complete with turrets and parapets) and the club members were dressed in gorgeous Tudor garb. Their dogs were presented on lavish cushions and pillows, surrounded by prints of paintings in which their ancestors appeared with royal families. Very, very impressive indeed. We complimented their booth, and they sincerely returned the compliment to us. Dallas Ft. Worth Basenji Club BY Jo Ann Linebaugh The New Year has started sharply for the DFWBC. The plans for our Specialty are firmed up and we are excited about it. This year’s Specialty will be held at 6:00 pm, Friday, March 22, the night before the Ft. Worth cluster at Will Rogers Memorial Auditorium. Join us for our show and the next day you are invited to come to our Between Shows dinner at Martha Lee’s home in Euless. Our breed judge this year is Karen Ahrends, a very nice lady who has spent a good deal of time learning about Basenjis and likes them a great deal. Our Sweeps judge is Denise Tatro, a Whippet breeder and exhibitor. We are very pleased to have both these ladies for our show. Shortly we will begin planning our annual Lure Coursing day at the Haggard’s farm in Celina. In past years, this event has been well attended and lots of fun. Information will be posted on our website and there is an open invitation to all our hound friends. We hope all our Basenji friends everywhere had a wonderful holiday season and are ready to go out in this new year to take on all comers at the shows! N The Mid-Atlantic Basenji Club BY LeeBeth Cranmer The Mid-Atlantic Basenji Club continued its tradition of sponsoring a breed education booth at the Canine Learning Experience in Allentown, PA. On Jan. 26, Gail Dluzeski, Barbara and Dennis Narehood, Mark Baime, Claire Andrews, Jane Johnson, and LeeBeth Cranmer along with seven Basenjis ranging from seven-months old to 15-years old greeted attendees and their dogs. The theme for this year's booth was “What Lies Within: Health Issues in Your Breed.” The mabc booth won an Honorable Mention award for its information on hereditary, environmental and preventable concerns. The mabc has participated in the event more than 20 times. It is a great opportunity to discuss our breed with all the interested people we meet. Photos of the event and the booth can be seen on the Mid-Atlantic Basenji Club's Facebook page. N Basenji Club of America, Inc. Bulletin (JAN/FEB/MAR ’13) 30 www.basenji.org Basenji Fanciers of Greater Phoenix By Arnieta Kurtz You know the saying about the best laid plans—it surely was true a week ago. We had planned to have the January club meeting here so everyone could play with a litter of puppies. Since we have had great weather—in the sixties every day—the plan was to have the meeting out in the sunny, grassy yard. People could gather, puppies could play, refreshments would be up out of the way. Mother Nature saw otherwise. We had days (and especially nights) of almost unprecedented cold. The temperatures held well below freezing for several nights in a row. Plants bit the dust, but more to the point, pipes froze—naturally the morning of the meeting. They made it through the night, but as dawn broke I had a geyser shooting into the air. As the water cascaded down it froze on everything so we could not turn off the water at the source. Frantic calls to a handyman who had to be roused from bed. At least he was able to finally turn off the water at the street, but that meant it was turned off for the whole house—not good when company is expected. Then a hurried visit to the hardware store for a new valve up to the swamp cooler. (In Illinois, I never even knew what a swamp cooler was!) I was soaked and muddy. The handyman was soaked and muddy. Muddy footprints in and out of the house. That last bit of straightening up before company went by the wayside. Luckily, I had gotten the refreshments ready the day before, but I did have to ask someone else to stop on the way for a bag of ice. (Hot coffee would probably have been more appreciated!) Well, we survived. The puppies had a great time visiting. The meeting was uneventful and productive. The valve was replaced and pipes were wrapped in towels to prepare for the coming night of freezing temperatures. We are preparing for our next specialty and sweepstakes to be held in November. We have been very lucky for the last two years with holding the specialty by ourselves in a local park. Can we tempt fate for another year or should we consider trying to find an indoor location? Does such a place exist? These are all things that need to be decided before we can send the paperwork in to AKC. In February, we have been approved to hold a lure coursing trial and JC Test. We will also be attempting the new AKC coursing ability testing for mixed breeds and non-sighthounds. March should bring our annual pre-Easter egg hunt and Easter bonnet parade. This is also when we have our short show season—before the weather gets too hot. We don’t even have regular meetings during the summer, which is when most other areas of the country are having their busiest times. However, we will be planning and working on our next specialty show to be ready for the fall. N Although winning would have vindicated our efforts (let’s be honest: who doesn’t want to win?), the main purpose of this event was to educate interested parties in features of your breeds, and we did this with relish. When onlookers approached our booth (even if it was just to get a closer look at the “fire”), one of our many club members would eagerly greet them and bring a Basenji or two over to share in the introductions. We answered questions, shared anecdotes, and truthfully listed the pros and cons of Basenji companionship. I am very happy to report that one particular couple stopped by our booth, visited every other booth in the event hall, but returned to us. They asked all the right questions, and were very understanding and attentive when we reiterated that Basenjis need a specific type of home life and loving supervision. They said they were considering a different breed (they actually came to the event to visit with those dogs), but their hearts told them that they were meant to have a Basenji. Our canine ambassadors entertained, wowed, and wooed them. Upon learning that many Basenjis are immediately available through BRAT, the delightful couple vowed to start the application process that night. The fact that we reached even just two people and convinced them that not only were they deserving of a Basenji, but that a rescued Basenji deserved them right back, made all of our hours of effort worth it. That being said, I need to tell you that we didn’t win first place. Actually, much to the audible gasps of the crowd when it was announced, we came in third. The Pembroke Welsh Corgis came in second; they had a fairy-theme, and were apparently handing out candy to boot. Even more inexplicably than us landing in third place was that the Dalmatian booth came in first. Was it the overtly jingoistic patriotism (USA! USA!) of their red, white, and blue décor and their inclusion of a turnof-the-century beer cart (Dalmatians used to accompany the Anheuser-Busch delivery men) that won over onlookers? We really don’t know, but we have our playful suspicions. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the International Cheese, Wine, and Canine Festival and will definitely rock it again next year. Although—we may have to build a real fire in our hut. If you ask me, that’s the only way we can top ourselves! N Basenji Club of America, Inc.

In October 2012, the club held a fall picnic at Lure Coursing Fanatics in Caledonia, WI, giving the dogs a chance to run in the sun before the weather turns too cold. Even though the weather was a bit cooler, our club hosted one last NOTRA race meet in Carthage, Indiana to finish out the year’s events. Thanks to the generosity of the Basenji fancy at the 2011 and 2012 BCOA National Specialties and our regional club events, our 2011-2012 canvas shopping bag fundraiser for the Congolese School at Epi was a great success. It allowed us to add a little over $600 to our annual club donation for 2012. The club has identified several new initiatives to tackle in 2013 focused on a) modernizing our website to improve the experience for both club members and visitors, b) identifying ways we can increase our local outreach presence both locally and virtually, and c) refreshing our club logo. So, 2013 will be a busy year! Our 2013 Independent Specialty will be held again in Ixonia, WI on July 26th. Our sweepstakes judge this year is Lisa Marshall, Arendahl, Basenjis, and conformation judge is Edna Martin. As usual, we will also be supporting the entry on July 27th at the Waukesha Kennel Club show. N Nutri-Scan Does your dog have itchy skin or an irritable bowel? Do you suspect your dog has a food intolerance? Food intolerance or sensitivity is actually quite common whereas food allergy is rare. In fact, food intolerance is the third most common sensitivity condition in dogs and often can be easily remedied with a change in diet. For years, though, the difficulty lay in figuring out what foods were problematic—until now. Developed by world renowned veterinarian, Dr. Jean Dodds, NutriScan tests for the twenty most commonly ingested foods by dogs to provide you with specific results as to your dog’s food intolerances or sensitivities. Since it is a salivary test, you have the convenience to complete the test at home or at your veterinarian’s office. Best of all, you can have the results in approximately two weeks to help you put your dog on the right diet. Please remember, NutriScan is novel and patented and is not testing for food allergies, but rather tests for food sensitivities and intolerance. These are different body immune responses. Food allergy is a more immediate reaction mediated by production of IgE and IgG antibodies. Food sensitivity and intolerance, by contrast, measures a more delayed body response to offending foods by measuring production of IgA and IgM antibodies primarily in mucosal secretions from the bowel. Dr. Dodds recommends that dogs are tested annually as, similar to humans, canine food tolerances and intolerances change over time. NutriScan is conveniently split into two test panels, so you can order one or both. Please visit NutriScan online for more information. N Basenji Puppies have landed and Most are on their way to a new family Invite your new puppy owners to visit the BCOA web site and FaceBook page, and to join a local breed club. All are full of information about Basenjis (no, they weren’t bred to hunt lions) and offer ways to connect with other Basenji owners and activities. It truly takes a village of friendly dogs to raise a Basenji. Basenji Club of America, Inc.

The Willamette Valley Basenji Club held their 10th annual 1st concurrent specialty on Friday, January 18, 2013. Our judges were sweepstakes Mrs. Laura Pond, and breed Mr. Jim Briley. For the past nine years, wvbc has been held earlier in the week and we had noticed as everyone else has a decline in our entries. We were moved to Wednesday three years ago which caused a large impact. After all, even though it is a five show series, moving to the middle of the week made it extremely difficult for many to attend. Our entries increased by almost 1/3, with this move, so that is a big plus. As you may know a concurrent is held during show hours, in the first available ring after the all-breed clubs Basenji classes. Wvbc has for years been their own show secretary, so it was a great shock to hand over the reins to the show superintendent and just go with the flow. This first year was a learning opportunity and in the future we will know what to expect from the superintendent and what our responsibilities in this new situation will be. The majors held, and with 19 in the sweepstakes and 50 (including Juniors) in the breed, we were pleased to see the increase in entries. We sincerely thank all our exhibitors, sponsors, judges and workers who helped make this specialty a success. And a big congrats to all the winners.

The bcoa has initiated this program in order to offer an opportunity to import dogs from their native land. Basenji Club of America, Inc. Native Stock Committee Chair Pamela Geoffroy 197 Mt. Hope Street No. Attleboro, MA 02760 [email protected] 1-508-695-6573 Co-Chair Damara Bolté Committee Members Susan Coe Andrew Sawler Linda Siekert Editors note: The evaluations on the following pages are direct transcriptions of the hand-written notes of the evaluators. “Due to the changing circumstances in the areas where these dogs thrive, this may be the last opportunity to import the breed from its homeland,” said bcoa president Sally Wuornos. “The Basenji stud book has been closed since 1990 when it was briefly opened to imported native stock.” The BCOA has established a ten-step process for dogs who wish to apply, after which, members will vote to ultimately approve the dogs’ entry into the stud book. The stud book will be open from January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2013 for Basenjis who have gone through the ten-step process, been approved by the bcoa Board and membership, and that meet the following requirements: Applicant must be at least one year old at time of evaluations; Applicant must be imported after 1990 directly from Africa or in utero from Africa; Dogs from the following areas are currently under consideration for admission: Northern Congo Southern Benin Southwestern Cameroon Central Congo North Western Congo For more information and all necessary forms visit the Basenji Club of America web site: www.Basenji.org The complete petition to AKC, additional documents submitted for each native stock dog may be viewed at: www.Basenji.org/NativeStock/Applicants/ List.htm www.Basenji.org/NativeStock/Applicants/ List2013.html Basenji Club of America, Inc. Bulletin (JAN/FEB/MAR ’13) 36 he following dogs presented alphabetically have been through two of the steps required to become Registered Basenji Foundation Stock. All required information has been provided and each dog has had three hands-on evaluations: Approved Judge, Breeder-Judge and Long-Time Breeder. The Evaluators have judged them as typical of Basenjis and have given them ratings of Fair or higher. The entire applications and evaluations with comments can be seen at www.Basenji.org. Each dog has been individually considered by the bcoa Board of Directors based on their applications and evaluations. Each of these dogs has received a majority Approved vote by the Board. The next step will be a general membership vote with each applicant grouped by area of import—Avongara, Avuvi and Ntomba 2013—for ease of voting. The general membership vote will be on the group. Ballots will be mailed out by April 1, 2013 and must be returned post-marked on or before May 1, 2013 and received no later than May 6, 2013. All individuals in each group getting a two-thirds vote of “Approve” by the voting membership will be submitted to the AKC to be registered as Foundation Stock. Avongara Maha Gany AKC Approved Basenji Judge Dr. Ronald Spritzer October 26, 2011 AKC Approved Basenji-Breeder Judge Marianne Klinkowski September 24, 2011 Long-Time Breeder Carol Webb September 24, 2011 Gany has excellent bite & teeth. Nice topline and is a Basenji. Coloring is poor & tail not curled enough. However should be bred to encorporate into the Basenji lines to get a bigger gene pool. This sturdy sable dog with exceptionally level topline is nicely angulated front & rear. He move out with a ground covering stride and possesses a sweet, happy temperament. He has a lovely head with small, high set ears and an almond shaped hazel eye. His chest falls to his elbow and he has nice fill in front; his shoulder is well set with a long upper arm. He is off-square and his tail curls up and over his back. He has a very sweet yodel and his behavior is very typical of the breed. I was able to observe his offspring out of an Avongara bitch and was very impressed with their type and temperament. I believe that Gany is a Basenji and has much to offer the breed. Rather large, nice rear, moves a little close in rear, nice front, no curl to tail, bite good, nice bone for size, good topline, sable coloring is distracting but natural in Africa to my knowledge. This dog has produced offspring of correct color and type bred to another Avongara bitch. This all leads me to believe he is a Basenji. Light eyes but good pigmentation.

Tad Brooks December 30, 2012 A Definite Basenji!! Great Temperament. Good ears, Nice Movement, Good Topline. Needs better tail but not bad. Peanut has an outgoing, sweet and happy temperament. Peanut’s overall appearance is sturdy and robust with strong bone structure, deep brisket and the needed spring of rib, to do the job that she was bred to do. I wouldn’t question her ability to hunt all day and be ready for more the following day. Peanut is a plainly marked red and white female with a small blaze and small white collar on her left side. She also has interesting white pips or what appear to be white/lemon pips over each eye. Those pips really enhance her dark eye rims and the shape of her eyes. Peanut’s skin is correct and very pliant. She is sturdy, yet still a lightly built girl of proper 16” size at the wither. She has that lovely quizzical expression and an acceptable amount of wrinkling, when her ears are erect. Peanut’s ears are shaped very well and nicely hooded, both which are so desirable in our breed. As mentioned above, her eye rims are dark and the shapes of her eyes correct. I would like to see a touch bit darker eye, but they certainly wouldn’t be considered light in color. Her eye shape and set give that “far-seeing” expression; that the breed standard calls for, also. Peanut’s head shape is a bit masculine, but planes, cushion, cheekiness and ratios are correct and without question, Basenji. Peanut’s Rating 4 Very Good. AKC Approved Basenji-Breeder Judge Joseph R. Tomey November 17, 2012 Peanut has the features of a Basenji. She has some faults that is not going to hold her back in breeding. I would have like to have seen a better eye, she is long in body, and her tail is not curled. Her qualities out weigh her faults. She is of proper size in height. She has a good head. Her neck set is proper. When stacked and in moving she places her feet in the way I like to see a Basenji do. Her temperament was very good. She did stand for exam and would come up to me on the ground. In my opinion she should be added to the breeding stock. Rating 3 Good. Basenji Club of America, Inc. Bulletin (JAN/FEB/MAR ’13) 40 bite is aligned well, but there is one tooth just under the top row of teeth that prevents it from being a correct scissors bite. Her neck is well set, correct length and well set into her shoulders. Her neck has correct amount of crest, as well as the proper fullness at the base of her throat. Topline is straight and correct with her overall length of body being longer the she is tall. Peanut’s shoulder assembly is correct, well angulated and good layback. Her has correct amount of angulation and nicely muscled, though a bit cow-hocked when standing and moving. Peanut has very correct feet that are well shaped with strong pasterns and a correct arch to her toes. Tail curls over back in one large curl with the set being less than call for by breed standard. Rating 4 Very Good. AKC Approved Basenji Judge Linda Scanlon September 29, 2010 AKC Approved Basenji-Breeder Judge Marianne Klinkowski March 26, 2011 Long-Time Breeder Brenda Cassell September 25, 2010 Obviously a Basenji ! Lovely muzzle to back skull proportions, small ears placed well on skull, hooded when alert. Wrinkle showing when ears up. Well placed, properly shaped eyes, brown blending well with rich, red coat color. Strong topline he holds while moving, full body, nicely sprung ribbing, lovely underline with nice tuck up, even at 6 years old. Beautiful strong feeling bone but not overdone. Excellent feet with just a slight tipping of white on front toes. well up on leg with wonderful front to rear balance. front well placed, good shoulder & upper arm, great forechest. Moderate rear angulation. Skin pliant but coat a bit heavy & substantial undercoat. I would also prefer a bit longer neck, but it does have an arch. Pigment strong. tail could be higher set it has a gentle curve, no curl. It wags freely. Temperament seems very stable. He was discerning upon our meeting but accepting in a short time. holds his strong back when moving, very sound going away, sound enough moving toward youjust a tiny “off” moving feet but getting quite happy. Smooth, efficient, easy gait. Because of tail and coat I must use the “good” category but I feel this dog has some outstanding features to be added to a breeding program. “Kudo” is a square, leggy old-style Basenji who could have stepped out of the pages of Veronica’s blue book. He is dark red and very plainly marked with minimal white markings. He has good skull to muzzle proportion, small, high set ears, wrinkle when alert, dark eyes, black nose and a foxy little face. He is moderately angulated with equal of shoulder & upper arm. His movement is light and springy from the side and he is sound coming and going. His tail is low set and carried up over his back when alert. his temperament is alert and cautious but calm and he is friendly when he gets to know you. “Kudo” is a Basenji of the old school and I believe he has a lot to offer the breed. Correct standard sized red/white dog @ 17 X 17. Beautiful bone and feet. Has required white on all four feet although just barely. White chest and belly. Tail tip physically missing. Head very foxy and well planed and chiseled. Muzzle slightly shorter than foreface. Could use more cushioning. eyes slightly rounded but nice dark color. Could use darker pigment although has extremely red coat may give illusion of lighter contrast. Ears well set & small. Coat very dark chestnut. Slightly thick but time of year (Fall) may come into play. Has visible wrinkle. Moderately angled in the rear. Decent shoulders although slightly straight and set toward neck. Equal proportions of shoulder blade to upper arm. Topline has a dip behind shoulders and slightly rounded croup with slight dropoff at tail. Tail set okay but carries straight. Might have been traumatized at an early age since tip missing. Movement typical. Good rear. Little narrow in front. Appears friendly and affable. Slightly cautious.

Russell May 28, 2011 Dog is a dilute red, no curl, tail, light eye. He is 17” tall, but a longer body Not a show prospect. But looks like a Basenji Has a good temperament His head is shaped correct. Moves OK from side Rating 2 Fair AKC Approved Basenji-Breeder Judge Kathryn Britton August 19, 2011 Bengi is a small, square and lightly built dog that gives the appearance if being high on leg. He is slightly smaller then the ideal 17” but is well-proportioned for his size. He carries his head high with erect, hooded ears that are set well forward on the top of his head. His muzzle is slightly shorter than his skull and his head had nice cushioning. He has plenty of wrinkle when his ears are erect and alert. He has exceptional pigment around his nice dark eyes and his nose. Bengi has a well-crested neck that is well-set into his shoulders. He has a nearly level topline with a nice short-coupled back. Basenji Club of America, Inc. Bulletin (JAN/FEB/MAR ’13) He has a nice depth of chest and amount of forechest. His tail is set fairly high (though dropping off slightly at the croup), and reaches over his back in a large loop. He carries is in a very loose curl when he is excited or happy. He has a nice moderately laid back shoulders. His pasterns are of good flexibility and length. He has lovely compact, oval feet with well arched toes. He has very well-muscled long second thighs with fairly well let down hocks. Both his front and rear are “straight” when stopping (not turning in or out). Bengi has an exceptionally short, fine coat with very pliant skin. His color is not considered standard, as it is more of a sable with white feet, chest and tail tip. He has a moderate gait, not reaching or driving more than expected for his shoulder and rear angulation. His rear movement is a little close when converging. While I would like to see one of the more common colors on Bengi, overall he has a number of attributes that could contribute to the Basenji gene pool. I believe that his attributes outweigh any faults that he has in regard to the AKC standard. Long-Time Breeder Rita Webb August 5, 2011 Size: Proportioned to standard.

When studying the individual pieces of a dog, one must keep in mind that the connection between all the parts and their relationship to the functions of the animal are what make up the whole dog. The Basenji Standard is meant to describe an ideal Basenji. Nature doesn’t fully cooperate with dog breeders so each dog has its good and not so good features. It is the job of the judges and breeders to make decisions about the overall quality of each dog. It is an essential aspect of a successful breeder to select those dogs for breeding that complement each other in their best points and improve each other in their lesser features. The more a breeder understands the Standard and the more unbiased their view of dogs’ virtues and weaknesses, the closer the breeder will come to producing ideal Basenjis. The Standard Dissected goes through the Standard sentence by sentence discussing what it all means.

Ella is Donna’s first Basenji and her first show dog. With the exception of Ella’s first point, won at her very first show, Donna has handled Ella to all of her wins, including Breed wins over specials. Ella completed her championship the same weekend as Bruno, in the city of her birth, Springfield, MA where Donna and her husband Phil first met her at 8 weeks old. Ella and Donna are a beautiful team and we are very proud of them!
