GROUP WON! ON TO BEST IN SHOW

GCH DRAGONETE ITAPUCA

At my first Basenji National I was just a baby! Mom and Pop took me home and I’ve been living the high life ever since.

I’m an AKC champion and have my junior coursing title!

I’ve won multiple Best of Breed ribbons and group placements— including Best of Breed at the 2012 Eukanuba National Championship.

I finished in the 2013 Top 20 All-Breed and earned a Bronze Grand Championship.

I love America. I love to show. And I am ready for Nationals!

See you soon!

ABOUT THIS ISSUE

WHEN THIS ISSUE lands in your home, many of you will be preparing for the BOCA National, September

22–27, in Missouri. For those of us staying at home, we wish you all the best and look forward to updates on social media.

Save some room in your budget for advertising your wins in The Bulletin. The fourth quarter will be the National issue, with substantial discounts for National Specialty winners. The cover will be reserved on a first come basis to one of the major winners: conformation, coursing, obedience.

Basenji Club of Northern California Secretary Mary Jane Karas shared the following information from Alan Slay, AKC Director, Event Programs regarding The National Owner Handler Series (nohs). The changes to the program are significant and I am including them here.

Based on feedback from clubs, judges, and exhibitors, the AKC amended their NOHS policy for clubs to include the following changes:Starting with the 2015 NOHS qualifying period (October 9, 2014):• All-Breed and Group Clubs that

hold at least two shows per year and offer a special attraction with group competition must offer the NOHS at a minimum of 50% of their shows in the calendar year.

• The NOHS does not have to be offered at the same show as the special attraction with group competition.

“Wills” finished his championship in very limited showing exclusively pointed out of the BBED class, including:

Cascade Hound 2013 Best Puppy in Sweeps, piloted by co-breeder/owner MaryK Quinnett

WVBC Specialty 2013 Best Puppy in Sweeps & BBEX in Show

Pulled a hat trick in one specialty week-end:

DFWBC Best Puppy in Sweeps & WD

Fort Worth KC (1) WD & BOS

Fort Worth KC (2) WD & BOW & BOS again to finish in style!

“Nile” GCH Klassic Rivers Edge X “Fergie” BIS GCH Taji Goes Platinum JC, BBHRDOB: 12/01/2012

Simply put, once "Dapper" became ring trained at 7 months of age, he was then undefeated as

Winners Dog.

In extremely limited showing this year, Dapper has already garnered two Group 2 placements in

fiercely competitive Hound Groups.

West Seattle, WA [email protected]

Ad Design: Mary Ellen Chaffin

• Any All-Breed or Group Club that holds only one show per year is not required to hold an NOHS competition in order to hold another special attraction with group competition.

In addition, the following exhibitor updates were made:• Dogs co-owned with a professional

handler are now eligible to be exhibited in the NOHS. Professional handlers are still prohibited from handling the dog in the NOHS but a new exhibitor, who co-owns their dog with a breeder that officially meets the definition of a professional handler, may participate in the NOHS.

• The definition of a professional handler has been updated to add “within the last five years” at the end. With this update, fanciers who handled (for pay) other people’s dogs, or on occasion for a friend, would be able to compete in the NOHS after a term of five years. Professional handlers are defined as any person who belongs or has belonged to a professional handlers’ organization, distributed rate cards, or otherwise advertised or represented themselves as handling dogs for pay within the last five years

• Automatically, all entries from the Amateur-Owner-Handler class are marked as eligible for the AKC NOHS. This change was made to widen the pool of eligibility into the NOHS and to lessen the confusion between the class and the special attraction.

If you have any additional questions about the program updates, please contact [email protected]

We received no Letters to the Editor for this issue. I hope at least one of the articles in this issue will generate some interest and discussion. Share your comments on the BCOA Facebook page and we will incorpo-rate them into the print publication.

On a different note, this is my penulti-mate issue of The Bulletin. The QTR4, 2014 issue with results from our National spe-cialty will be my last. If you are interested in knowing more about editing and producing the publication, feel free to contact me.

Look forward to hearing from you,

CONTRIBUTORS

Carol Beuchat, PhD page 32 & 40 Scientific Director, Institute of Canine Biology Division of Genetics, Genomics, and Development, Dept of Molecular and Cell Biology, University of California BerkeleyCarol is a vertebrate biologist with broad expertise and research experience that encompasses physiology, ecology, behavior, and evolution of every vertebrate group except fishes (mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians). She has over 30 years of experience working in both the field and the laboratory, asking questions about the interactions of animals with their environment and the mechanisms they use to cope with particular physiological challenges. Her background in comparative biology and an interest in the biology of dogs motivated the formation of the Institute of Canine Biology as a means of bringing scientists studying various aspects of canine biology together with the dog breeders and owners who have vast collective experience and knowledge of dogs. The increasing number of genetic disorders in dogs are a huge concern for breeders, who lack the tools and resources to address these problems. At the same time, there is a revolution in genetic research fueled by the discovery of the dog as a model animal in which to study genetic disease in humans. The possibilities for fruitful interaction between the scientists and the dog breeders and owners are potentially endless.

Anita Oberbauer, PhD page 35 Professor and Chair Department of Animal Science University of California, DavisDr. Anita M. Oberbauer is Professor and Vice-Chair in the Depart-ment of Animal Science at the University of California, Davis. She earned a B.S. at the University of California, Davis in zoology, a Ph.D. degree from Cornell University in animal physiology minoring in statistics and pathology, and then conducted postdoc-toral research in growth factors and gene regulation at Loma Linda University and in Biological Chemistry at University of California, Los Angeles. She has received the Jim Corbin Award in Compan-ion Animal Biology offered by the American Society of Animal Science and distinguished teaching awards from UC Davis and the Western Section of the American Society of Animal Science. She serves on the Board of Directors of the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals. Her research program emphasizes growth and develop-ment focusing on the relationship between skeletal size and overall

body composition, as well characterizing the genetic basis for health disorders in dogs. She is the current health education chair of the American Belgian Tervuren Club, and actively competes with her Belgian Tervuren which she shows in all AKC venues open to the herding group.

Chris Maxka page 34Breeding Basenjis has been a lifelong passion for Chris, who got her first Basenji in 1969. Chris’ first big success was CH Dogo Birocco of Sun Diata, Veronica Tudor-Williams’ choice, out of an entry of 131, for Best of Breed the only time she judged in the United States. A few years later, Dogo Birocco’s grandsons, CH Pero’s Krugerrand and CH Pero Forest Flute of SunDiata, were no. 1 and no. 7 in the USA. Flute was selected Best of Breed at the Canadian Eastern Specialty by Jayne Stringer of Horsley Basenjis. Chris is a strong proponent of health testing, of line-breeding, and of the preserva-tion of classical breed type.

Linda Siekert page 43 Linda has successfully piloted seven Basenjis to over 100 AKC titles, including the only MACH, PACH and AKC Triple Champion; her dogs have won multiple BIF, BOB, High in Trial and High Com-bined. Her first Basenji Tre, was 100% domestic, the other six have ranged between 31% - 65% new African (Avongara).She is one half of the BCOA African Stock Project (ASP), responsible for the main-tenance of the ASP database featuring photos, pedigrees and health information of native African stock. She has written numerous articles featured in various Basenji publications throughout the US and abroad.

JUNIOR EYE VIEW

Junior members share their dogs favorite sleeping spots/positions

DOZING DOGGIE

My Basenji sleeps a lot. She spends over half the day napping in various places. Her favorite places to snooze are on a lot of things that aren’t even hers.

One of Topeka’s favorite places to nap daily is on the kitchen television chair. She looks out the window as she lies on the fancy chair. It has a modern touch to it. We watch TV upstairs by the kitchen on this chair. Though Topeka doesn’t shed horribly, this chair is usually covered in tiny hairs. Good thing there are two chairs to choose from.

Another one of Topeka’s favorite places to slumber is on the foldout lawn chair. It stretches out for you to get a nice nap in the sunshine. Too bad that relaxing space is commonly occupied by a dog. She rests out there in the sun, occasionally chewing on her bone. Such a happy little dog.

Simply on the floor will even suit this hound. On hot days, or after tiring exercise, Topeka flops down on the cool wood flooring of our dining room. She is gen-erally on her side, legs extended,

and panting vigorously. I laugh when she does this, because she just looks exhausted and adorable.

Another place on the floor to snooze would be her very own dog bed, this is one of the only things that is hers. Well it seems

by Brooke Barker, 7 years old. She knows a thing or two about Basenjis

that way to me anyhow, I am not sure how she thinks about it. She curls up in her bed at numerous times of the day. One time I caught her dreaming in the middle of the afternoon!

One of the very best places for her to sleep is right next to me. That is the most pleasing of all. I will cuddle with my canine in any of these places, just as long as I am welcome. At night she always sleeps right beside me in my comfy bed. She dreams a lot here. Hopefully mostly good dreams. I love her to the moon and back. She is just so delightful!

by Cagney Ehlers, 12 years old. Watch for her in the ring and in obedience.

CLUB REPORTS

BASENJI FANCIERS OF GREATER PHOENIXARNIETA KURTZ

Though we are experiencing the usual hot summer here in the Phoenix area, Fall will come and with it our 12th specialty. Once again we are able to hold a totally independent specialty and not have to hold our specialty as just classes at a bigger all-breed or group show. This allows us to use the

whole day, have donuts and coffee in the morning, a break for lunch, all without worrying that we will run over our allotted time for the ring. We also have room to display the trophies and raffle items. This year the trophies will be very Southwestern.

We have received AKC approval. The show will be on Sunday, November 2. Our judge will be basenji breeder Kathryn Britton from Oregon. The sweepstakes will be judged by Larry Hansen. He is an AKC judge, though not approved for basenjis. His breed is Newfoundlands. He is also well known as a UKC judge.

The timing should allow for people to get home from the National Specialty. Though still warm, November has much better temperatures than July—this is the time that our winter visitors start flocking to Arizona. Also, for those who want to extend a vacation, the following weekend has four days of shows just a two hour drive away in Tucson.

Though majors have been somewhat hard to come by since AKC grouped us with Division Nine (California), we have consistently had five-point majors for the specialty. So, think about joining us in the sunny southwest this November! B

GREATER CHICAGOLAND BASENJI CLUBARNIETA KURTZ

The club held its fortieth specialty on June 14. Once again it was held in conjunction with the Chicagoland Hound Association at the Lake County Fairgrounds.

Longtime members and one founding member were in attendance. This year also marks the fiftieth anniversary of the start of the GCBC. As has been a long-

standing tradition, trophies were given for all placements. In honor of the fortieth show, the trophies were donated by Mary DeWhitt and were from the estate of Donna Smith.

There were a total of 34 basenjis entered with 5-point majors for both sexes. Sweepstakes was offered with fourteen puppies competing and two veterans.

Due to time and space constraints of being part of the Hound Show we can no longer have an auction and dinner on the grounds, as was a long-standing tradition. However, some members and friends gathered at a local restaurant for “Basenji-talk” over a nice dinner following the show.

BASENJI CLUB OF SOUTHEASTERN WISCONSINCLAY BUNYARD, PRESIDENT

We had a relatively large entry for our 19th Annual Independent Specialty in Ixonia, Wisc. in late July. Linda Birmantas Beam and Dr. Robert Indeglia had a nice selection of basenjis to judge for sweepstakes and regular classes, respectively. The results of the specialty follow. In 2015 at our 20th Annual Specialty, the judges for sweepstakes

and regular classes will be Susan Joyner, Joy-Us Basenjis, and Katie Campbell, Taji Basenjis, respectively.

During the annual meeting following the specialty, the election for the 2014-2015 officers and board of directors was held. Our new officers are Clay Bunyard, President; Laura Mae Hesse, Vice-Presi-dent; Lisa Marshall, Secretary; and Lisa Lemberger, Treasurer. The new members of the board of directors are Karla Schreiber, Susan Cook and Maggie Galaszewski.

In August, as part of our club’s outreach efforts, Pat Wand and Laura Mae Hesse worked a booth during the Wisconsin State Fair’s World of Dogs event. In addition to our normal outreach events, the club is also working on modernizing some of our older basenji breed publications.

Following our annual picnic in early August, the last major club event for 2014 is our NOTRA racing trial held on November 1st and 2nd at the Greater Racine Kennel Club in Caledonia, Wisconsin. Look for information on our website as the event date approaches. B

JUDGE’S CRITIQUE SOUTH COAST BASENJI FANCIERS SPECIALTY, JULY 2014

by Laura Pond

My thanks to the South Coast Basenji Fan-ciers club members, friends, and supporters for inviting me to judge your Specialty. As a breeder-judge, it is a humbling honor to be asked to judge our breed by my peers.

From the start of judging, I could see that the entry was loaded with quality. Dark eye rim pigment, rich coat color and correct proportions—movement would have to play its part. Working through my dog entry I found erect ear placement and cupped shape, scissors bites, outstanding temperaments (on the dogs too!), and

BASENJI CLUB OF CINCINNATIRITA ROSS

The BCOC held their Annual Specialty on Saturday, May 24 at the Butler Co. Fairgrounds in Hamilton, Ohio. A “Designated Specialty” was also held with the Warren County Kennel Club on Friday, May 23. Entries have gotten smaller in recent years but we still had point majors for our winning dogs. The results

of these shows are reported in this issue.Following our Specialty on Saturday, we held an African Stock

Exhibition, and later in the evening a Puppy Match. Pictures of the winners of these events are shown below. These are fun events to watch; especially the puppies!

PUPPY MATCH JEFFREY J. GILLESPIE

effortless side-gait. I also found the smooth musculature that our standard calls for—not a bunchy bodybuilder in the lot!

My Winners Dog/BOW/BBE was a handsome, effortlessly moving dark red & white. His leggy, typey outline coupled with his lovely side-gait won the day. The RWD was a tri-color youngster from the 6-9 class with rich color and good demarcation.

My Winners Bitch, also from BBE, was a feminine red & white with lovely wrinkle and expression. She moved with an effortless, extended side-gait: The RWB was a leggy, dark red girl with profuse wrinkle.

An entry in Veterans is always appreciated by judges and the gal-lery alike. The Junior Vet Bitch, a brindle with proud head carriage and level topline showed us all she could still command attention. My Senior Vet dog, a steady, willing tri-color turned on the charm during his moments in the ring.

My Best of Breed line-up was gorgeous. These Champions had sound, effortless movement, good proportions, lovely expression and heads; not an automatic decision—each Special showing its worth. Ultimately I found my BOB in a self-possessed, masculine black & white dog. I rewarded his proudly carried head,his good crest and length of neck, erect ear set and his tireless, swift, bal-anced stride with level topline. A keen-eyed, able Basenji.

For BOS a balanced and effortlessly moving R/W Champion caught my eye and held it. She offered a level topline coupled with good reach and drive. She had nice bone weight for size, elegant.

Select Dog had a gorgeous orangey-red, short coat, lovely almond shaped eye and balanced side gait. Select Bitch was a feminine tri-color with a short muzzle and small, well-shaped ears. Moving, she carried a solid, level topline.

Thank you again for this great opportunity. I had a wonderful time.

THE ICELANDIC SHEEPDOG is like many other rare dog breeds: It was founded with a relatively small number of dogs (36); It became a registered breed fairly recently (around 1955);

For much of its history as a registered breed the total popula-tion was small. There has been a rapid increase in registrations in recent years as the breed has gained a following and been introduced to new countries (see Figure 1).

In 2008, Pieter A Oliehoek, Piter Bijma and Arie van der Meijden completed a study of the breed (History and struc-ture of the closed pedigreed population of Icelandic Sheepdogs, published, 2009 in BioMed Central). At the time of the study, the current population numbered about 2,500 dogs, many times the size of the founding population.

A small, closed population will inevitably suffer from inbreeding, resulting in inbreeding depression which is reflected in reduced resistance to disease, reproductive problems (reduced fertility, smaller offspring, smaller litter sizes, higher mortality, etc). Also, with loss of genetic diversity in breeding populations, there will likely be an increase in the incidence of inherited disorders, because it becomes more likely that an individual will just by chance be homozygous for a deleterious allele.

Knowing that breeding of Icelandic Sheepdogs had not been managed in any way as the breed grew in popularity, Oliehoek and his colleagues suspected that an analysis of the breed might reveal some evidence of significant inbreeding.

They gathered together the pedigrees for all the registered dogs in the world back to founders (a total of 4680 current and ancestor dogs) and subjected them to special analyses that were able to reveal things about the breed that would have been difficult or impossible to learn any other way.

They found that not only were the dogs extremely inbred, but the situation of the breed was dire. In just the first 10 years after registration, the breed lost more than 50% of its initial genetic diversity (Figure 2).

Figure 2 History of diversity in founder genome equivalents. Number of founders is the

number of founders introduced during that specific year; after 1991 no new founder was

introduced; Nmk is the average mean kinship in founder genome equivalents; NOC is the

minimum possible kinship in founder genome equivalents; NAD is half the number of

distinct alleles if founders had unique alleles (scale of founder genome equivalents).

The average degree of inbreeding

in the population as a whole was 26%.

Average mean kinship (mk) is the degree

of relatedness of the animals—

a value of 0.25 would be the equivalent

of full siblings.

• The astonishing decline in genetic diversity was a consequence of breeding practices that resulted in increasing levels of inbreeding over time (kinship is a measure of overall genetic similarity between two animals).

• At the time of the study, the entire worldwide population of 2,554 dogs had the genetic diversity expected from only 2.2 founders.

• The average coefficient of inbreeding of the existing dogs was about 25%, and the entire population was as closely related as siblings.

This is grim news. Starting with 36 (assumed) unrelated dogs, inbreeding reduced the breed to the genetic equiva-lent of about two individuals as closely related as siblings. To save the breed from potential extinction as a conse-quence of inbreeding, the genetic diversity in the popula-tion(s) of breeding dogs needs to increase.

Using a very clever analytical technique called “cluster analysis,” Oliehoek was able to sort the existing dogs into groups of individuals that were similar genetically. He was able to identify eight groups, two large ones, four of modest size, and two that were very small. You can see these in Figure 4. Note that the longest bar is really 10 times longer than depicted so the graph would fit on the page. So it’s a very big group—in fact, 85% of the entire population. What this means is that the breed population is not genetically homogeneous. That is, there are little subpopulations of animals in different countries that carry alleles not found in the other groups.

In Table 1, the average degree of inbreeding (“F” in the table) in the population as a whole (“All”) was 26% (0.26). Av-erage mean kinship (MK) is the degree of relatedness of the animals; a value of 0.25 would be the equivalent of full siblings.

The two statistics using founder genome equivalents (Nmk and Noc), indicate that the entire population has the genetic diversity that would be expected to result if there had been only two founders.

In a carefully managed breeding program, the little puddles of diversity in all the subpopulations could be used to bring the genetic diversity in the breeding population from the equivalent of 2.2 founders up to as much as 4.7 (which is still extremely low).

The good news is that when this study was published, the Icelan-dic Sheepdog breeders used the information to modify breeding strategies to protect the smaller populations of genetically unique animals from extinction, and minimize the additional loss of genetic diversity from the breed. B

If your neighbor believes their mixed-breed pup is naturally hardier than your

purebred, they may want to think again. A new study by researchers at the

University of California, Davis, indicates that mixed breeds don’t necessarily

have an advantage when it comes to inherited canine disorders.

Findings of a new study, available online in the June 2013 issue of the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, are of particu-lar interest because dogs are second only to humans in the number of

identified genetic disorders that affect them.

The results provide a better understand-ing of the prevalence and source of such disorders, and could advance efforts to prevent and treat genetic ailments in both dogs and humans.

“Overall, the study showed that the prev-alence of these genetic disorders among purebred and mixed-breed dogs depends on the specific condition,” said animal physiologist Anita Oberbauer, professor and chair of the Department of Animal Science at UC Davis and lead author of the study.

She noted, for example, that elbow dysplasia and dilated cardiomyopathy, a heart condition, appeared more frequently among purebred dogs. But rupture of the cranial cruciate ligament in the knee was more common in mixed breeds.

“Results from this study give us insight into how dog breeding practices might be modified to reduce the prevalence of certain genetic disorders,” Oberbauer said.

The researchers evaluated records for more than 90,000 purebred and mixed-breed dogs that were examined at UC Davis’ veterinary medical teaching hospital between 1995 and 2010.

From this group, 27,254 dogs were identified as having one or more of 24 ge-netic disorders, including various types of cancers, heart diseases, endocrine-system ailments and orthopedic problems, as well as allergies, bloat, cataracts, epilepsy, an eye lens problem, and a liver condition.

The 24 disorders were selected for the study because they can be diagnosed accurately, are highly prevalent in the overall dog population and are debilitat-ing to the extent that owners would seek veterinary care for the animal. In addition, the selected disorders represent a variety of different locations and physiologic systems in the dog’s body.

The researchers found that the preva-lence of 13 of the 24 genetic disorders was

approximately the same in purebred dogs as in their mixed-breed counterparts. Ten were found more frequently among pure-bred dogs, and one such disorder was more common in mixed-breeds.

The data also indicated that the more recently derived breeds or those breeds that shared a similar lineage were more sus-ceptible to certain inherited disorders. For example, four of the top five breeds affected with elbow dysplasia were the Bernese mountain dog, Newfoundland, Mastiff and Rottweiler—all from the mastiff-like lineage. This suggests that these breeds share gene mutations for elbow dysplasia because they were descended from a common ancestor.

In contrast, disorders that occurred equally among purebred and mixed-breed dogs appeared to represent ancient gene mutations that had become widely spread throughout the dog population. Such disorders included hip dysplasia, all of the tumor-causing cancers and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a heart condition. B

SCIENTIFIC TERMS

AN ALLELE (or allel) is one of a number of alternative forms of the

same gene or same genetic locus. Sometimes, different alleles can

result in different observable phenotypic traits, such as different

pigmentation. However, most genetic variations result in little or

no observable variation.

IN GENETICS, A LOCUS (plural loci) is the specific location of a gene,

DNA sequence, or position on a chromosome. Each chromosome

carries many genes. A variant of the similar DNA sequence located

at a given locus is called an allele. The ordered list of loci known for

a particular genome is called a genetic map. Gene mapping is the

process of determining the locus for a particular biological trait.

Diploid and polyploid cells whose chromosomes have the same

allele of a given gene at some locus are called homozygous with re-

spect to that gene, while those that have different alleles of a given

gene at a locus, are called heterozygous with respect to that gene.

Illustrated above are cystine stones at actual size. There are at least seven types of bladder stones, of which 80% are struvite and calcium oxylate. Cystine stones, however, are rare, comprising less than 1% of the samples submitted to laboratories for identification. Nonetheless, cystine stones have been identified in over 70 breeds.


early every cystinuria story starts the same: “I’d never heard of cystine stones until

one day I looked out in the yard and my Basenji boy was struggling to pee, and he

couldn’t.”

What the owner faces is a life-threatening situation. The dog must go

immediately to the vet for he won’t live 24 hours without intervention. A stone has

lodged in his urethra, his bladder is filling, and will rupture. This is a particularly

critical situation: there is usually no warning, and the owner has little time to

make the decision to have an expensive emergency surgery.

C YSTEINE, AN AMINO acid, forms the molecule cystine that is normally reabsorbed by the renal tubules in

the kidneys. Dogs with cystinuria have an inherited metabolic defect in which this reabsorption mechanism is faulty. The urine becomes supersaturated with cystine; cystine crystals form; and the crystals coagulate into stones which may block the urethra.

Cystine stones will not dissolve with treatment. If the stones are small, and discovered before one of them blocks the urethra, it is possible to flush the bladder (urohydropropulsion). But if the dog has blocked, the bladder must be surgically opened and the stones removed. In most

cases, this is the end of it, but the stones are highly recurrent, and may return. Further-more, it is difficult even for experienced surgeons to be sure all the stones have been removed. One study (Grant) found that up to 20% of the surgeries fail to remove all the stones, and recommends that surgeons use post-operative imaging to make sure all stones have been removed. Even this is not a perfect solution, as cystine stones are diffi-cult to see with ultrasound or regular x-ray; double-contrast cystography is the optimal technique, but is more time consuming and requires special equipment. Thus, it is possible that an unseen, unremoved stone may cause a new blockage soon after the original surgery. If a second blockage

occurs, the veterinarian may recommend a urethrostomy, a long, very major surgery in which a new opening is made so that the male dog now pees like a female, and can pass any stones that form.

When stones are removed, the surgeon will not know for certain the type of stone and will send it to a lab for identification. There are at least 7 types of bladder stones, of which 80% are struvite and calcium oxylate. The problem of urate stones in Dalmatians is also well known. Cystine stones, how-ever, are rare, comprising less than 1% of the samples submitted to laboratories for identification. Nonetheless, cystine stones have been identified in over 70 breeds.

In Basenjis, cystine stones have been known for many years, and are listed under

“Hereditary Conditions” in Elspet Ford’s book, The Complete Basenji, published in 1993. Very little has been said about the dis-ease, however, and its appearance has been in rare and isolated cases. Until recently.

In the past few years, increasing num-bers of Basenji owners have been suddenly faced with cystinuria’s most unwelcome appearance. Dogs from random and unre-lated bloodlines have blocked in America and in Europe.

Canine cystinuria is a complex disease. A number of genes are involved and there are several different modes of inheritance and of clinical expression, many of which are not yet fully understood. Researchers have recently proposed new classifications, in which Type I is autosomal recessive, Type II is autosomal dominant, and Type III is sex-linked I (Brons, Henthorn, et al). Basenjis have been added to the list of breeds studied at the University of Penn-sylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. Basenji DNA has been compared to the DNA of other breeds with cystinuria, and is different. The unique Basenji appears to have a unique type of cystinuria.

A urine Nitro-Prusside test, available at the University of Pennsylvania, will indicate the concentration of cystine in the urine, indicating the risk of stone formation and blockage. If a dog has cystine in its urine and it is in danger of forming stones.

Nitro-Prusside tests have shown that in Basenjis, both sexes can have supersaturat-ed levels of cystine in the urine – a dan-gerous situation in which stones will form under the right conditions.. Only males have blockages, however, and the reason is anatomical: the long thin urethra is where a stone becomes lodged. Female anatomy allows the stones to pass, often unnoticed.

In some breeds, neutering appears to de-crease the chance of stones reforming after surgery. Many veterinarians will therefore recommend neutering any dog who has blocked. However, although neutering may help in breeds where only males form stones, it may not be effective in breeds where both sexes form stones. Many male Basenjis who have blocked have remained intact, and have not blocked again.

There are a couple of strong medications

These are the four important dietary changes recommended by the Minnesota Urolith Center at the University of Minne-sota College of Veterinary Medicine:1. Lower the protein content

of the dog’s food.2. Increase water intake. 3. Increase the alkalinity of the urine.4. Limit sodium (salt) intake.

Let’s look at these in reverse order: 4. Limiting salt in the diet has been shown to lower cystine excretion in humans, who also can have cystinuria.

3. Cystine crystals form more readily in acidic urine, and urine pH can be easily tested with over the counter test strips from a local pharmacy. The goal is to maintain an alkaline urine pH of greater than 7.5. Note that the pH of a dog’s urine is determined almost entirely by diet, and that meat is more acidifying than vegetables. More on this to follow. A quick and simple way to alkalize urine is to add potassium citrate to the dog’s food. This comes in a fairly inex-pensive powder and can be ordered online.

2. The reason for increasing water intake is obvious, as this dilutes the urine, making it less concentrated, thus less likely to precipitate out cystine crystals.

1. Most interesting, complex, and important is the first recommendation, lowering the protein content of the dog’s food.

Pilot studies in Minnesota showed a 20—25% reduction of cystine in the urine of dogs who changed from kibble to special diet canned food. But researchers at the University of Pennsylvania were stunned when they retested a Basenji who experienced a ten-fold decrease after only 3 weeks on a low protein, high liquid diet. The dog went from extremely cystinuric to well within the “normal” range. The dog had been eating dry kibble that was 33% protein when he blocked. His diet was changed to a dehydrated food with plenty of water, so that he was eating a nice “soup” at 21% protein dry, 10% hydrated (after water was added). Other male and female Basenjis tested at the same time, with the same changes, also showed a 5 to 10-fold

decrease in cystine concentration. These results were confirmed by urine amino acid quantitation.

I have surveyed over 30 Basenjis who recently blocked with cystine stones, and found that over 70% of these dogs were being fed ultra-high protein kibble, contain-ing 33% protein and up. When diet was altered to a more modest protein level and additional moisture was added to their food, most of these dogs did not block again.

Unlike the Fanconi Syndrome in Basenjis, clinical cystinuria in some breeds is not limited to homozygous (“affected”) dogs. Heterozygous (“carrier”) dogs may also block. Furthermore, in Australian Cattle Dogs and others, homozygous males blocked at a younger age than heterozygous males (Brons, Henthorn, et. al). My survey of Basenjis finds males that have blocked as young as 17 months and as old as 11 years, with a cluster around 2-3 years and another around 8 years. Is the clustering of Basenjis around age 2-3 years and around 8 years an indication of whether a Basenji is homozy-gous, “affected” or heterozygous, “carrier”? We don’t know, and the matter deserves further study, but another pattern shown in the Basenji data is that all the dogs who have blocked a second time were 4 years or younger. Dietary changes, increased hydration, and attempts to alkalize urine appeared to have little effect in these dogs. On the other hand, of the older dogs who have blocked, and have had a change of diet, none has blocked again.

At this point, it is instructive to consider the maned wolf, which is not a true wolf, but a canid on it’s own branch of the family tree, genus Chrysocyon. The maned wolf looks like a large, very long-legged fox, and is native to South America. Long black erectile hairs along the back give the maned wolf its name. What is relevant to this discussion is that the maned wolf has a very high prevalence of cystinuria. One study found that 80% of the maned wolves tested have elevated cystine excretion. The species is considered endangered in the wild, and there is a small captive population of less than 100 animals in the United States.

Maned wolves in captivity have historically been unhealthy, with many

that can be used to prevent stone forma-tion, one being Thiola, but these are quite expensive and may have unpleasant side effects. These medications may be used if other methods, such as diet, are ineffective.

Although in some breeds it has been reported that diet has little effect on cystine stone formation, this appears to be not true of most Basenjis. Many owners of Basenjis who have blocked report that they have made dietary changes and their dogs have not blocked again. (*Be warned, however, that although these changes have helped many Basenjis, there are a few very sad cases where the dog has blocked again, and even died.)

dying from cystine stone blockage. Urine pH of these wolves has been between 5.5 and 6.5, which we know is an environment that encourages the formation of cystine crystals in wolves with cystinuria.

At first, these captive wolves were fed as carnivores, a diet entirely of raw meat. Research eventually determined, however, that the maned wolf in the wild is an oppor-tunistic omnivore, eating small mammals, birds, lizards, and insects, but also approxi-mately 50% of its diet is comprised of native fruits. Was the high protein, meat-only diet causing the ill health and blockages of the captive maned wolves?

Study of cystinuria in wild maned wolves is scarce, and what is not known is whether maned wolves in the wild suffer urethral blockages as do the captive wolves. One researcher suggests the possibility that cystinuria is an underlying genetic defect that, although common in both wild and captive populations, causes blockages only in captive populations, due to environ-mental and dietary factors. Even more controversial, this researcher contemplates a second possibility that cystinuria is NOT a genetic defect in maned wolves, but “a normal physiological phenomenon in this species for unexplained reasons. Clinical disease [blockage] from this phenomenon is precipitated in a captive setting by envi-ronmental factors.” (Childs-Sanford 15)

The unique dietary situation of the cystinuric maned wolf is one possible insight into the cystinuric Basenji. The diet and protein level this breed has survived on for the centuries of its existence in Africa is very unlike the modern high protein kibble diet, or even the all-meat raw diet that has become so popular. The Nitro-Prusside test has shown that the Basenji is unusually responsive to dietary changes in the treat-ment and prevention of cystinuria. Food for thought, indeed.

The First GenerationHank, identified by the glow around him, and the first generation of his many offspring.


THE MOST COMMON admonition of the geneticist to the dog breeder is to “avoid the Popular Sire Syndrome.” At the same time, the most common advice from breeder to breeder is to breed “the best to

best.” So the conundrum is obvious and the consequence predictable—the “best” dogs are the most sought after, so they sire the most offspring and become popular sires.

THE POPULAR ITY OF POPULAR SIR ESEven a century ago Williams Haynes (1915) was writing about the “Effect of the popular sire,” noting that in three terrier breeds he examined—Irish Terriers, Scottish Terriers, and Fox Terriers—about 40% of the puppies were sired by only 20% of the sires. Back then, “popularity” was quite different than now—his “prolific” dogs sired five–seven litters, which would be completely unremarkable today. And surprisingly, the point of Haynes’ paper was that Popular Sires actually benefited the

breed by contributing to the preservation of variability in type.

Superficially it might appear that if approximately 40% of the puppies each year are sired by 20% of the stud dogs it would eventually result in the greatest uniformity of type. The selected sires are all to a greater or lesser degree exceptional animals, but they are not selected by any uniform system. Most of them excel in some particular physical point, but they do not excel in the same points or in the same degree, nor even, in some cases, in the same direction. Here the personal equation, the ideals of different breeders, is at work, and the result is that since a few males, not them-selves of uniform type, sire a greater-than-av-erage number of offspring they disturb the race average of the following generation and introduce abnormal amounts of variation. Therefore, the fact that artificial selection gives certain selected, but not uniform, males an undue preponderance of influence will always keep the type of domestic animals in an unstable state. This seems to me an important factor in the great variability always noted among domesticated breeds.

Haynes thought Popular Sires were a good thing, because he felt they were suffi-ciently different from each other that they prevented the breed from becoming too

“uniform.” How then did the popular sire go from contributing to the quality of the gene pool in 1915, to the source of a problem to be avoided by breeders 100 years later? What is this “syndrome” that today’s geneticists are so concerned about?

BR EAKING BA D: DNATo understand the problem, you must understand a bit of genetics. You probably know about mutations—bits of DNA that are not replicated perfectly or are perhaps damaged by some environmental toxin. If the mutation is dominant and affects some vital process, it is removed from the gene pool by natural selection when that individual fails to pass its genes on to the next generation successfully. But many mutations have no ill effects because their paired, dominant allele functions normally. These “recessive” mutations are silent in the genome and can be passed to the next generation the same as any other gene, and as long as the offspring has a copy of a nor-mal allele the mutation remains silent. The mutation becomes a problem when an indi-vidual inherits two copies so is homozygous at that locus. Without at least one copy of the normal, unmutated allele, the gene does not function properly, and the consequence can range from something relatively trivial (e.g., a different eye color, or slightly shorter legs) to the catastrophic (e.g, blindness, disruption of a critical biochemical pathway, cancer).

Mutations happen all the time. The ones with immediate ill effects are removed from the gene pool by natural selection, while the recessive, silent ones remain in the ge-nome as the “genetic load”. Every dog—in fact, every organism—has its own unique collection of damaged alleles that causes no harm as long as there is also a copy of a normal allele of each that can do the job it is supposed to.

A STAR IS BOR NNow consider what happens in a popula-tion of purebred dogs. Let’s pretend that

this cute collection of dogs represents your breed [Turlock Terriers], with the pheno-typic variations among them representing the nuances of type that would be obvious to a serious breeder. We’ve given each dog a (typographic) recessive mutation, a bit of DNA damage that is not expressed so it has no detrimental effect on the dog. If each dog in our population has a litter of puppies this year, the frequencies of these various alleles in the population will stay about the same in the next generation.

But what happens if one of these dogs wins big at an important event and becomes a star? If it’s a bitch, she will have a litter of much sought-after puppies, and it will probably be at least a year before she is bred again. But if our star is male (let’s call him “Hank”), he will be bred many times and produce dozens (or more!) puppies in a single year. Hank will pass half of his genes, both good and bad, to each of his offspring, so many copies of his recessive, silent muta-tions get distributed in his puppies.

As long as Hank’s deleterious muta-tions are paired with a normal allele in his puppies, they are not expressed and cause no ill effects. But if you could view the gene pool of the breed in the new generation, you would see that now it is markedly different. Hank’s mutation has in just a single genera-tion gone from being rare to common, and now lurks silently in the genomes of dozens of his offspring. In this generation, no one is any the wiser. The prized puppies that carry their sire’s recessive mutation will appear to be no different than the ones that don’t.

THE NEXT GENERATIONBut in the next generation we start to see the first hint of trouble. Perhaps there were a few half-sib matings, or father-to- daughter, and some puppies are produced that are homozygous for Hank’s mutation. Perhaps the mutation is lethal and these are stillborn pups, or maybe the puppies are born with a disease. But the breeders will be mystified—they have never had this problem in their line, or even in the breed, so maybe it’s just bad luck? Nobody can see yet that this is just the tip of the iceberg.

In one more generation, however, the trouble really begins. Carriers produced

The Pox of the Popular SireCarol Beuchat, PhD, Scientific Director and Founder of Institute of Canine Biology

The Next GenerationThe first hint of trouble. Some puppies, shown with a pink glow, are homozygous for Hank’s mutation.

Uh-oh, We’ve Got A Problem


by the first generation will pass on the mutation to half of their offspring, and half-sib matings or line breedings back to the sire will begin to produce affected puppies. Even while the number of affected puppies is still relatively small, the number of carriers will by now be significant, and remember that our popular sire probably continues to produce more than his fair share of the offspring in each generation. You can see where this is headed. The seeds have been sown.

Every litter produced by this popular sire is one less reproductive opportunity for any of the other potential sires in the breed, so the frequency of genes carried by those unused sires will decline in the population. At the same time, multiple bitches are producing puppies sired by Hank that will be half- sibs to the dozens of other puppies in their generation. The temptation to capture a bit more of that popular sire’s star qualities will probably result in a few line breedings that will put carrier with carrier.

UH-OH, WE’VE GOT A PROBLEMThis is about the time breeders begin to notice that there is a “problem” in the breed. It won’t take a pedigree sleuth to trace the growing population of affected dogs back to Hank, our popular sire who will now be blamed for introducing this new disease into the breed. Geneticists will be called in to hunt for the defective bit of Hank’s DNA and to develop a reliable test. Then breeders will begin the mission of trying to elimi-nate Hank’s formerly valuable genes from the gene pool, with proportional collateral damage to the genetic legacy of all of the bitches he was bred to. The genetic carnage resulting from attempts to purify the breed of the unfortunate mutation will continue for generations. The ultimate damage to the gene pool can be catastrophic.

This happens over and over again in breed after breed. Of course, the problem isn’t poor Hank. Wind back the clock, and if the judge had pointed to a different dog at that fateful show—let’s say it was Rosco who got the nod—the trajectory of the breed would have been completely different but the consequences pretty much the same.

Rosco will leave his genetic legacy behind in dozens of lovely puppies, half of which will have that one nasty mutation that will emerge a few generations down the road to bite the breed. Breeders will eventually catch on, sound the alarm, and the effort to identify and eradicate the offending mutation will begin. The gene pool will be purged, and the next time a big winner appears that happens to be male, the cycle will begin anew.

THE UNFORTUNATE LEGACY OF THE POPULAR SIR EThe really unfortunate thing about the Popular Sire is that the negative genetic consquences of his popularity don’t begin to manifest for generations, by which time the breed already has a really significant problem. The large number of breed-spe-cific disorders known to be caused by a single recessive gene (175 as of this writing; OMIA) is testimony to the prevalence of the problem (indeed, some breeds now suffer from multiple recessive genetic disorders).

Of course, it is not just the recessive mutations that are disseminated widely by popular sires. Any genetic disorder can become quickly widespread, especially in the absence of any means of documenting the appearance of a new disease and if breeders are not willing to be completely transparent about issues they are aware of. Unacceptable aggression in English Springer Spaniels, which used to be one of the most popular family dogs in the US, appears to be genetic and has been traced to one popular sire from a prominant kennel (Reisner & Houpt 2005; Duffy 2008). Twenty-five percent of Bernese Mountain Dogs die at an average age of only 8 years old from histiocytic sarcoma (Dobson), a fatal cancer that apparently originated from a single dog in Switzerland, and the flames were fanned by a prolific great-grandson in the US that spread the malignant genes far and wide in the gene pool (Dobson 2013; Moore 1984; Moore & Rosin 1986). Many Dobermans die at an early age from sudden heart failure caused by dilated cardiomyop-

athy, which can be traced to seven popular sires in the 1950’s, three of which died of heart failure (http://bit.ly/1anuinN). A serious—usually lethal susceptibility of Miniature Schnauzers to infection by Mycobacteria avium (referred to as

“MAC” for Mycobacteria avium complex) is thought to be traceable to a sire popular in the mid-1980s and is found now in dogs all over the world (http://bit.ly/1gZbGy7; http://bit.ly/1ciVxNP). There are no doubt many other similar examples that I am not aware of or have never been documented.

Leroy (2011) has identified popular sires as the single most important contributor to the dissemination of genetic diseases in purebred dogs. Recognizing this, the The Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) has issued a recommendation to breeders that no dog should have more offspring (presumably in its lifetime) than equivalent to 5% of the number of puppies registered in the breed during a five-year period, and a number of national kennel clubs have followed suit (e.g., Finland). But without cooperation of breed clubs, or in the absence of some authority that would oversee registrations and be in a position to police such a breeding restriction, it is hard to see how such a recommendation would have any effect at all on current breeding practices. (Which 5-year period? Which population of dogs—the worldwide breed, or just the dogs in your country? Who does the counting—the owner of the sire, the owner of the bitch, the breed club, the kennel club??).

The only people benefitting from the explo-sion of breed-specific genetic disorders are the molecular geneticists, who have discovered dogs as an ideal research animal because many of the same disorders occur in humans (Ostrander 2012). But as useful and fascinating as dogs might be for their research, I suspect all would prefer to see dogs that are free of genetic disease, for they have so much more to offer in the family home than in the lab.

Stress can be defined as the brain’s response to any internal or external factor, good or bad, which causes disruption of the brain’s metabolic balance causing physical changes such as increased heart and respiration rates. In high stress states, blood levels of “fight or flight” hormones rise, flooding the brain, creating an unfavorable environment

for both learning and performing.There are two classifications of stress: distress and eustress.

Distress is defined as “extreme anxiety, sorrow, or pain.” Being distressed is never an ideal mental state for our companion ani-mals.It can result in negative coping behaviors such as separation anxiety, aggression, hyperactivity and/or destructive behavior, not to mention ill health. Eustress, however, is defined as “moder-ate or normal psychological stress interpreted as being beneficial

for the experiencer.” An example of eustress could be rewards based training where the dog is mildly stressed during the learning process but is simultaneously being rewarded with something it enjoys, such as food or toys.

Stress that results in the fight or flight response is only intended to last a short period of time during an emergency. Chronic (dis)stress, or worse, chronic overreaction to stress without periods of recovery, can wreak havoc on our canine partners health: decreases to their immune system, depression/anxiety, and/or suppression of their reproductive systems are but a few problems. One veterinary behavior clinic noted on their website that “anxious or reactive dogs were more than twice as likely to have chronic health issues such as allergies or gastrointestinal issues than those in our obedi-ence or sport training programs.”

Our goal as owners and/or breeders should never be to com-pletely avoid stress. While distress can inhibit learning, eustress can actually enhance it. The success of any training program will be dependent on a dog’s ability to react appropriately to each of these two types of stress.

The first step starts with the breeder, who begins by exposing their litters to mild stressors. This is the premise behind Dr. Carmen L. Battaglia’s “Early Neurological Stimulation” (revised) article. Experiments indicate that puppies exposed to mild stress-ors and then allowed to adequately recover between stress events develop the ability to better respond to everyday stress at maturity.

The second step is implementing effective socialization. It is believed genetics are roughly 35% responsible for a dog’s lifetime ability to perform, which leaves 65% to “everything else”; that everything else is first within the control of the breeder, then with the owner. Puppies lacking early stimulation will be at a severe disadvantage, up to and including, the inability to ever reach maximum potential. To reach full effect however early stimulation by the breeder must be followed by a lifelong commitment of socialization and habituation by the new owner.

Socialization can best be described as controlled, positive exposure to a variety of people, places and things such as different species (cats, birds or pocket pets), other friendly dogs, sudden loud noises, and various substrates which any puppy might come into contact with throughout its lifetime as our companion and/or performance animal. The primary purpose of socializing is to strengthen a dog’s ability to cope with new stressors, improve their social skills and to learn how to be comfortable living within our chaotic human world.

Research on wolf pups showed that despite extensive socializ-ing during the optimum window (birth to 14 weeks of age), once human interaction was withdrawn, the ability for these pups to continue to have lifelong benefit of socialization was lost. However adult captive wolves, extensively socialized to man for a period of six months, did not lose their socializing capacity once human interaction ceased.

While it is important for the breeder to create positive socializ-ing experiences for the pups individually, without any emotional support of litter mates, it is even more important for owners to continue this process (also individually without support of canine siblings) to some degree well into adult hood for the longest lasting benefits. Positive socialization will ideally segue to a habituated Basenji; habituated to mean the Basenji, after periods of positive exposure to stimuli will stop reacting/responding to it.

Visiting dog parks or attending “free for all” puppy classes where pups run amok, ignoring humans, does not provide a struc-ture for positive socialization. These uncontrolled experiences may not always be positive for the puppy and can have an opposite long term negative effect which the owner may fail to recognize. Even when the experiences actually are positive, it may teach the pup the wrong things to focus on.

By wrong I mean, while I want my Basenjis positively accli-mated to new people, places and things, what I really want are

my Basenjis to be habituated to these things and cease reaction or response to them. I want my Basenjis to look upon people and especially other dogs as being part of the environment to which they choose to ignore rather than want to interact with. Once I become the primary focus, performance related behaviors usually fall into place.

Mental health management is not just about socializing your Basenji outside of the home. Mental exercise within the home is also important to prevent destructive behaviors resulting from boredom or anxiety due to spending time alone. Have you ever had a day so mentally invigorating, all you have the energy to do is kick off your shoes before sinking exhausted onto the couch? Why does this kind of day seem to kick our butts as much or more than physical exercise? In fact, assuming we are well conditioned for it, physically busy days are apt to energize us than wear us out; the same holds true for dogs. Mental exhaustion comes from exercising the mind.

Owners tend to focus on the physical aspect of keeping their Basenjis in condition but tend t0 underwork their dog’s brains. Physical stamina is increased without regard to mental stamina. Basenjis can run and play for hours at a stretch while never seeming to tire. If you work their minds for five to ten minutes once to twice a day, they’ll nap the afternoon away.

What are some ways to effectively exercise your Basenji’s brain? Obedience: teach your Basenji to sit, down, stand, stay, and come. Tricks: teach your Basenji fun things like shake paws, sit up and beg, or take a bow. Puzzles: there are a number of puzzles on the market which encourage your Basenji to figure out how to get food rewards which helps to stimulate the mind. In the beginning make the puzzle easy so your Basenji is successful. Success will equate to a Basenji willing to continue to play the game. Scent work: play the “shell game” by allowing your Basenji to see you place a piece of kibble under a paper cup. Once he gets the hang of finding it under one cup, add two more cups but only hide a treat under one; once that has been figured out, start moving the cups around so the treat is never in the same place.

Another easy game is “scatter feeding”, scatter a couple handfuls of kibble throughout the yard and have your Basenji “hunt” in the grass for his kibble.

The end result—a tired Basenji with a happy owner, working to-gether towards developing a well-balanced companion who learns to compensate for stress without suffering any long term physical or mental consequences; the ultimate goal no matter if you have a champion couch potato or the next Agility star.

WHAT’S STRESS GOT TO DO WITH IT?By Linda Daves Siekert, CVT ©2014

As the breeder/owner-handler of multiple performance

Basenjis, I’ve been asked to share some thoughts regarding

managing Basenji mental health in high stress situations. In

thinking about how I manage my Basenjis in the few minutes

before any competition, I realized anything I did during this

time was such a minuscule part of their whole performance

process. Managing my dogs’ mental health starts on day

one beginning with mild stressors, progressing with effective

socialization and continuing with positive mental stimulation

throughout the life of the dog.

MOVING?

CHANGE OF ADDRESS NOTICE

IF YOU MOVE, please notify the BCOA Treasurer of your new address.

Unless specifically requested, the USPS will not forward periodicals, such

as the Bulletin, to your new address. Send all address changes to the

Editor. It is suggested to send address changes also to the Bulletin Board

Newsletter Editor, the Secretary & Treasurer to ensure the Club knows

where you are in case of a move.

To avoid missing your magazines, you must inform the Club of your

address change. If we do not receive a Change of Address notice, the cost

of a replacement issue is $9.00.

The USPS charges $ .75 for each incorrect mailing address, returns only

the cover with a label affixed showing the new address, and destroys the

remainder of the magazine. However, in the course of any mailing, if the

USPS damages your magazine beyond use, you may receive a replace-

ment copy at no charge.

PUBLICATION POLICY

ARTICLES & OTHER MATERIAL

BCOA members are encouraged to send to the Editor anything they feel

will be of interest. All materials, whether used or not, will be treated with

consideration. Articles, letters or advertisements attacking or slandering

individuals or organizations can easily be misconstrued as official Club

Policy and are therefore not appropriate for printing. The Editor has the

right to refuse to print or reasonably edit any article.

Submission of advertising layouts before the appropriate deadline is the responsibility of the advertiser. If the BULLETIN is providing design and layout services, there is a limit of four photos per page unless otherwise negotiated. All fees must accompany submissions or paid online at the BCOA website. The costs may fluctuate due to an advertiser’s request or suitability of material submitted. If an initial payment is insufficient to cover the final cost, you are responsible for and expected to pay any additional balance due. Additional funds required are due upon notification of such by the BULLETIN. Please consult the fee list to determine final cost, or contact the BULLETIN prior to publication if there is any question concerning payment for display or commercial advertising. The BULLETIN is required to have a commitment from all advertisers, insuring that they know they are responsible for payment of the full cost of their ads as published, based on the prices stated in the BULLE-TIN, when ads are prearranged before any actual work on the ad commences.

All funds to be paid in U.S. currency, please. Make checks payable to BCOA. All copy and photos should be sent to the Editor, along with any necessary payment and return post-age arrangements. Slides and color photocopies cannot be used. Electronic files may be sent via internet. Digital images must be 300 dpi and in high quality .jpg or .tif format. Identify all people and animals in your photo. Send a rough idea of your desired layout and mark all photographs with name and return address. Photographs may be enlarged, reduced or cropped within reason; please specify preferences. Camera-ready ads must be approved by the Editor. All photographs will be returned. Reservations for placements can be made by contacting:

KatieCH SONBAR’S XCLUSIVE XTROVERT

CH SONBAR’S SEVENTH SON OF DJAKOMBA—GCH SONBAR’S TABLE TALK

Katie (formerly known as Clue) finished with three 5 pt. majors, a breed over eight specials, and an aom at the 2011 National Specialty—all by the age of 10 months.

In January 2013, Katie moved to Colorado to live with her new slave, Angela Binns, Tazin Basenjis. Katie was shown sparingly in 2013, earning four bob, one bos, and three Select.

At the High Desert Cluster (Albuquerque, New Mexico, May 2014), Katie won bos—Judge Col. Joe B. Purkhiser; bob and a 5 point major—thank you Judge Natthaniel Horn;

Select—Judge Allen L. Odom; bob, a 5 point major, and a Group 3—Thank you very much Judge Murrul Purkhiser.

Katie also defeated 12 hounds for owner/handler Group 2 and a Group 1.

I waited a long time for the right dog and it was love at first sight with Katie. Thank you Sally for letting me have this special girl. And good luck to all at the Nationals!
