Anyone Know these People?

Breeder Talk

  • A friend who recently lost her Basenji to Fanconi e-mailed me that she was thinking about getting a brindle from Nocturnal Kennels in No Carolina and asked me if I knew anything about them. I checked the BCOA roster to see if they were in it, they weren't, so I googled the name. Found out they sell Scotties, Westies, Welsh Terriers, Dachshunds and Basenjis. When I went to the link about Basenjis, I discovered they have 'blue brindles' and 'blue tris.' Needless to say, I firmly discouraged my friend from dealing with them. I must say, the blues look cute, but all B puppies are cute…

  • Last year they bred Carrier to Carrier and had Affected puppies. Their puppies are also NOT AKC registered.

    on another website it said they had four! litter ready for Feb 2010.

    There are some issues with blue dogs. I know a few blue dogs (one dasch, one dobe) that are mostly bald. Here's some more info on blue dog alopecia:

    There's no way to tell when you get a puppy if that puppy is going to be bald when it grows up or not, but it is rather a bother to deal with as the dogs sunburn, and have some mild and/or cosmetic skin problems.

    Of course all that is secondary to Fanconi.


  • There is no documented cases of blue or cream Basenjis having alopecia. That said, while these people do DNA test for Fanconi now they do no other health testing and the exact lineage of their dogs cannot be traced. These people are not bad people per se but they are not very knowledgable about the breed. They do breed multiple breeds solely for profit.

    @Rob5098 I don't in your area. Like Pat suggested, you can go here: https://www.basenji.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=111&Itemid=94 Check NY and NJ and any other state close enough for a drive.

    Thank you Linda, for a very thoughtful post. While I've never met anyone from this forum, I quite agree that people can change for the better. Like basenjis, sometimes we need to take the time and lick our fellow basenji's wounds… Actions speak louder than words, but basenjis roos are much better. :)

    All I want for Christmass is not my 2 front teeth, it's lots of shelf and lots of second thigh!!! Thank you for all your free advice. I have a very clear picture of the type I am trying to set. Now I know how to describe it accurately. Back to "stalking" bloodlines with that particular type. In the long run I want to get involved with lure coursing and this type with lots of shelf and second thigh will be well suited to it. As well as attractive movement and looks in the conformation ring!!!! Just have to make sure I keep the temperament and health A+ and we are good to go. I really loved that bitch from Australia, http://www.afrikenji.com/leeloo.html good job guys! I had heard good things about many Australian breeding programs and this confirms it.
  • Anyone know about microchipping/tattooing?

    @listeme: Knowing how fast technology changes and improves, I'd be hesitant to sign up for a program like this if I weren't going to be using it in a couple of years or less. Remember VCRs? Cassette tapes? Telephones that attach to walls? :D lol. ya i suppose you all are right. At first i thought about it, but i dont know. I guess its still a good thing if you have to do more than one chip in a dog. and i think they said the microchips are good forever (whether thats possible or not) I guess its still worth it for me, IMO. Since rescue and my personal dogs. I can use that amount of chips (in rescue) within a year or two. So…i think its a good deal. Whether it is or not...
  • Does anyone feed raw and what about vaccinations?

    I've been feeding 50% raw daily (raw in the evening only) and it made a remarkable improvement with Kananga. He used to have issues with loose stools, but honestly as soon as I started him on the raw, it improved significantly and now there are no problems. Soon enough I may make the transition to do 100% raw.
