The Basenji Club Victoria Specialty 2014 breed classes were judged by Mrs Lisa Tyler-Jackson (Shernazar Basenjis, UK). Tambuzi was represented by Ringo, Arthur & Willow. Along with Colleen's Ch Tambuzi The Sherpaof Annapurna (Tobi). Also Lisa's Ch Tambuzi The Rinpocheof Qinghai (Ruby). All with more than respectable results:

Mrs Lynette Brown (NSW) was the Hound Group judge today. Very pleased with how the 'kids' went with Tambuzi The Isle of Avalon (Arthur) winning the Puppy Class and being looked at for reserve dog challenge. Tambuzi Secret of Road Inish (Willow) was a little naughty gaiting but was awarded first in the minor puppy class. She went on to take her second reserve bitch challenge (BB2) again beating a Grand Champion along the way. I was even more thrilled for her to be awarded Best Minor Puppy in Group.
