Calypso Windsor Joslin "Cody"
AX,MXJ, JC

AKC # HM80540202 born Dec 23, 1998 owners: Debbie & Perry Joslin Parkland, Florida Cody is the family Agility star! He is a hard-headed, 1/4 African, big boy whose novice owner has gone above and beyond the call of duty to find what it is to make her boy feel purposeful in life. He suffers no fools and has the usual inflated sense of royal ego. Cody takes the agility courses at full tilt, running at the same breakneck pace as the Border Collies.. only he initially didn't touch the A-frame as he went over except for the contact points at either bottom side! and he flies across the dogwalk, barely touching it.That lovely drama had to be changed so that he wouldn't be disqualified on the missed contact points (but it was a sight to see!). Cody's partner and running devil is Debbie Joslin. They live in Parkland, Florida (the eastern coast, near Boca Raton,  along with Karly (Calypso Absolut Angel), who is in both obedience & agility training. It was planned for Karly to start agility trialing in summer of 2004, she did and has all her basic titles won, and now competing in the Excellent level in 2005.  In Aug'03 Cody & Debbie were invited to be part of DACOF (The Dog Agility Club of Florida) Palm Beach County Team .. obviously, only dog and owner's with high potential are asked to participate! Cody started competing in Agility in August 2003 in very limited trialing. Seven months later, he is short only the AX to complete the AKC basic (!?!) agility titles before moving to the Master level of titles. Along the way, he has won 15 placement ribbons (1st place x 5; 2nd place x 3; 3rd place x5; 4th place x2). In 2003, there were only 2 basenjis to earn the AXJ title from AKC.  Cody is the first basenji to do so in 2004. Way to go, Cody & Deb!!! Cody finished out 2005 by finishing his AX title on Dec.31st with a first (and only) place- out of 19 dogs entered in his Excellent A class, Cody was the only dog to qualify. Congratulations Debbie and Cody!  In September 2006, Deb flew Cody and her tri b-girl, Karly, to Warwick Rhode Island to compete in the BCOA national specialty AKC agility trial. They shined a light, for sure!  Cody ran perfectly in both Standard and Jumpers and emerged High In Trial with so many prizes they had to be UPS'd home to Florida!  Karly got a first place in her Standard run, and missed her Jumpers by being over course time. Cody was the only basenji jumping at 20 inches and he and Debbie put on an Agility Clinic for those assembled. The Joslin basenjis just had a great day and Cody was completely "on", and it was a privilege to finally get to witness the Calypso agility team perform in person, AND do such an exemplary job.  HUGE CONGRATULATIONS  to Debbie Joslin who has dedicated herself to this sport and to her dogs. The pleasure they got in working with her was very evident the entire time, as was the close relationship they have forged, the three of them, in their mutual endeavor. Go, Team!  Cody also qualified for his Junior Courser title at Warwick, successfully completing the two lure coursing runs of approximately 700 yards, all the while ignoring the heavy construction equipment in use immediately to the side of the course which caused most of the other dogs to veer off and fail to qualify. Cody just flew after the lure, enjoying the heck out of himself!
