This morning Cami made an horrible mistake: she took me instead of Ciara to the dog show. She had promised me that I do not have to step in any dog show rings anymore, because I am already a beauty champion of five countries. This terrible mistake was caused by the last Austrian dog show, where I was supporting Ciara with my presence. There I got by accident (?) my third cacib of four. Four is needed from three different countries and four judges to become an international beauty champion. Dog shows are just for stupid dogs, which can’t do any other hobbies like agility, where brains are more required quality than beauty.
Anyway, I have always had excellent manners, where ever I have to represent me or my breed. It is normally written in critics: "Very good presented" as it should have been: "She presents herself very good". I was again the best behaving basenji in the ring, but the judge was more interested of the cover than the manners. No win this time.
There have been some judges (actually four together), who has felled into love with my character and put more beautiful basenjis behind me in the competition. Last time an Austrian junior handler (under 15 years) felled into love with my character, so I helped her to become third best of international junior handling competition. My folks were very proud of me, that I just went with a stranger kid to the big show ring and left about ten junior handler pairs behind us, just by my relaxing and co-operating behavior. That is better than many basenjis are able to do.
