A typical Basenji Tamika was fairly headstrong. She knew exactly when to misbehave in the show ring. She would often wait until the judge was looking at her down the line before she yawned or did the Basenji bow-stretch or if she was so inclined both for good measure.

Tamika's show career was very successful show career including a Runner Up in Group (BIG2) under Basenji breeder and all breeds judge Mr John Forbes (Baagna)
