All Breed DOG shows are the most common type of DOG show, and most fun to attend, where dozens, if not hundreds of DOGS are shown, eliminated or prized until an award is usually given for Best of Show, or Best of Breed. Basenji shows can offer male-only or female-only shows, as well as Puppy Class shows, which will show puppies in the 6-9 month, 9-12 month and 12-18 month age groups. Novice basenji shows are held for basenjis that have never been awarded any ribbons, while an American Bred basenji show will only accept basenjis whelped in America. Open Class shows are events that bring thousands of spectators every year.
