BASENJI VERSATILITY PROGRAM 

Welcome!

This program was conceived in response to BCOA member interest. It seeks to create enthusiasm for training and working with basenjis  - show, athletes and pets -  as well as recognize outstanding accomplishment.

Versatility is the ability of a dog and handler to accomplish a variety of different things, not the same thing over and over.

Individuals who meet the requirements of the Basenji Versatility Program will receive a BCOA medallion and personalized certificate listing the dog's name, owners' names, award level achieved and date of award. Please note that a dog will receive only ONE BCOA medallion in its lifetime, while it may receive advancing levels of certificates.

This program is designed to reward the lifetime accomplishments of your dog.  So relax - you have years in which to try many different activities with your basenji! 
    
In addition, the program maintains a composite " Hall of Fame" Honor Roll of all dogs qualifying for the Versatile Basenji Program, including:  name of the dog, name of the owners, highest level achieved, and the year it was received.  We'll even include a photo of your dog "in action!"
    
The " Hall of Fame" Honor Roll is also published in the BCOA Bulletin in order to recognize those dogs and handlers who have succeeded in demonstrating their versatility and thereby invite enthusiasm for working with the basenji.

    
The Basenji Versatility Program celebrates our intelligent and adaptable breed and the special human-animal bond we have with them.  Best of luck in the ring!
