Shows



Diva has had a wonderful show career, huge thanks to her breeder & handler Tiina! :-) Diva finished her Championship in first possible show. She was qualified to Crufts when she won FinJW-05 title. New qualification came in June 2006 at European Winner -show where Diva won Best of Breed! At Swedish Basenji Specialty 2007 Diva was BOS and won also Best Gait -award. At the moment she has 10 x CC's, 3 x ResCC's, 5 x CACIB, 2 x ResCACIB, 4 x BOB, 5 x BOS and 1 x BIG-3. In Finland she will be shown only very seldomly as Tiina has younger dogs to handle, but hopefully she will enter some shows abroad to get her last CACIB's!
