Max, who often shoots himself in the foot in the show ring, was dead on at the Evergreen Basenjis Club Specialty.

He was Best in Maturity, an event reserved only to the previous years Futurity participants. Not to my knowledge has a Futurity winner has gone on to win the Maturity, but Max came close, he was Reserve in Futurity the year before.

Now if were can get him over his anxiety attacks he is struggling with at all breed show.

And yes, this is a field dog, check out his Lure Coursing photos in performance section.

And yes, those are my shorts and sandals, my dress down show attire.

Congratulations to Max.
He is stunning!

{Aside from Jazz} Max is my absolute favorite.
Not only is he beautiful, he has personality plus!

Max continues to do it the hard way, Best of Breed at the Olympic Kennel Club, August 19, 2006, from the classes for his first major, in spite of his antics.

His performance in group was even worst. He worked himself up into a frenzy, wanting out of the ring, too much noise and commotion. Highlighted by the complement I received on how well I handled the situation.

Nothing more fun trying to show a dog under a panic attack, thank goodness he does not have any aggressive tendencies.

As I've said before, He is stunning!
And as far as the antics in the ring, well....they sure add some spice!

The judge that day seemed {to me} to be quite taken with him.

he's beautiful and did I read that correct he is just now showing as an older dog having already coursed to title?

I love how they put MAJOR on the showboard for the picture. Wish photographers would do that more often. Also wish when you earned a major it was a little different color ribbon then just a solid purple.

What a gorgeous fella you have. I feel left out, having a basenji mix I don't get to participate in shows. Could run in practices at lure coursing but not in trials. Oh well, I love my basenji/whippet mix anyway!!

My husband and I have always loved the dark brindles, there are just so few around here. Would love to find one, Rocket would love a little sister!
