Hound Club of Victoria Twilight Show – 2 Nov 2013

On Saturday 2 November we attended The Hound Club of Victoria's annual twilight show which is now in its 3rd year.  Exhibitors attended from most states and territories. The number of entries this year - 279 dogs. Basenjis were in group 4c and were judged by Mrs M Pereira (Brazil). Watching Mrs Pereira judge it seemed she concentrated and rewarded dogs that excelled in correct front and rear angulation and dogs with good muscle definition. Team Tambuzi were rewarded with dog challenge and Best of Breed being won by Ch Debrak On The Road Again (AI) (Ringo) and bitch challenge and Runner Up Best of Breed being won by Ringo's daughter Ch Tambuzi The Rinpocheof Qinghai (Ruby). Ringo was Best of Breed winner at the Hound Club of Victoria in 2010 and 2011. Ruby took Best Baby Puppy in Show at the Hound Club show in 2012. Could not have asked for more from the kids tonight!

Bendigo Agricultural Show Society – 26 Oct 2013

Mrs Elizabeth Smith (Victoria) officiated judging the Hound Group at this show. The show was held indoors and the babies fared well with the noise of the wood chopping competition at the other end of the pavilion. Tambuzi Tutanekai (Raven) was first in the baby dog class and his sister Tambuzi Secret of Roan Inish (Willow) first in the baby bitch class. Tambuzi The Sherpaof Annapurna (Tobi) took Best of Breed. Willow followed up her previous class in group wins with another Best Baby Puppy in Group. This time she went one better and under respected all breeds judge Mrs Sandra Mashford Willow won Best Baby Puppy in Show. This was Willows 4th best class in group win and 1st best class in show win. 

Numurkah A&P Association Show 23 Oct 2013

Mrs B Doyle (Victoria) judged the Hound Group. It was good to see that the baby puppies were at last beginning to realise that they can actually walk and even managed to gait albeit for only a few steps here and there. Tambuzi The Isle of Avalon (Arthur) was placed 1st in a class of 3 baby dogs. Tambuzi Secret of Roan Inish (Willow) followed in her brother paw prints and was placed 1st in a class of 4 baby bitches. Arthur eventually went on to beat his sister for baby puppy of breed. Ch Debrak On The Road Again (AI) (Ringo) took out the dog challenge and his daughter Ch Tambuzi The Rinpocheof Qinghai (Ruby) won the bitch challenge. Ringo went to Best of Breed and was pulled out for group - even though he was being a real terror.

Bacchus Marsh & District Club – 13 Oct 2013

The Hound Group was judged by Mr Keith Prior (Victoria). Baby puppies Tambuzi Tutanekai (Raven) and Tambuzi Secret of Roan Inish (Willow) were shown.  Willow took baby of breed and later won Best Baby Puppy in Group against a good number of quality babies. Well done kids!

Shepparton Agricultural Society Show – 12 Oct 2013

Today the Hound Group was judged by Mr Richard Stoate (Victoria). The puppies had not been on a lead since the shows last weekend and it showed. The fact that the grounds had been used by horse exhibitors the previous day meant the smells were Basenji heaven and suddenly the puppies became vacuum cleaners. This time Tambuzi The Isle of Avalon (Arthur) won baby puppy of breed and went on to win Best Baby Puppy in Group. Dad Ch Debrak On the Road Again (AI) (Ringo)  took Best of Breed and his daughter Ch Tambuzi The Rinpoche of Qinghai (Ruby) was Runner Up Best of Breed.
