These general comments were made by these Board members when they voted: General Comments on the ballots 2009-3 thru 12 BALLOTS 2009 – 3 – 12: Pooley: "GENERAL COMMENTS: I was very pleased to see the quality of native stock basenjis submitted for admittance to the AKC Studbook and am confident the membership will see the value in adding these dogs to the gene pool. Many of us who attended the African Stock Exhibition in Texas in 2008 enjoyed the opportunity to see several of these dogs “up close and personal” – always an asset over viewing photos. Having that opportunity made my job as a board member easier to cast my votes for those particular dogs." Graves: "GENERAL COMMENTS: A strong group of dogs, very much Basenji type. A real pleasure to evaluate." Stargell: "GENERAL COMMENTS: The evaluation procedure for acceptance of these dogs is truly outstanding. The three evaluator system, using the basenji-savvy talent in our community, allows a fantastic cross-section of perspectives. I was struck by the fact that most of the same comments could probably be found in a summary of any good-sized basenji entry at a conformation event today. We are certainly very fortunate to be able to provide our breed with the high quality diversity offered by each these dogs."
