Cara (BRAT) and Arwen (breeder) results

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • Trying to give myself the same pep talk I would anyone. It really isn't that bad, just would have loved probable CLEAR for more ease of mind. But heck, even clear, you keep testing so not really a big deal, right? Sigh.

    As some may recall, the puppymiller responsible for the Wimauma pack has been a thorn for a decade. The good side of that was that until this year, not one dog from him had been reported to have Fanconi. Then a relatively young one (about 3 yrs old) was dx recently. The pep talk side is, for crying out loud, did anyone REALLY think none of the dogs were carriers and that it would never occur?

    So by now you guessed… Cara is probable carrier. And Arwen is probable clear.

    Feel free to share the results on any list. Relatives of Arwen should know. Since the breeder never sent her reg papers she is in data base, they won't find her with regular AKC and OFA checking.

  • Yes, it could be worse, so Carrier is better then Affected….. and you are right, it is really NOT that bad!

    In regards to Arwen, even if her papers were not sent in, you listed her (what would be registered name/sire/dam) for the data base, right? So the only thing that is missing is the AKC number. Honestly, most time I seach by the name or part of the name.

    Kathy, I sure didn't mean to indicate it isn't a godsend or fantastic! Of course it is. I just meant… well as the Arabs say, Trust in G-d but tie your camel. Get the testing, use it to help guide breeding, retest if necessary, but keep doing the strip test. It's an easy if annoying process that protects your dog against testing errors or human errors.

    @dcmclcm4: What kind of autoimmune problem does she have? Does she have any other eye problem or just the PPM strands? Jennifer @sharronhurlbut: So when you see blue eyes on a b, its PPM strands? Sayblee had autoimmune issues and had multiple surgeries to remove inflammations. She died 9/9/09 from Lymphoma after 5 mos of failed chemotherapy protocols. I actually posted about it here, think I even put up pictures. Arwen only has massive PPM strands. She will be 8 in 2 wks, thus far has been healthy as a horse otherwise. When I say blue, I don't mean REALLY blue as in pigment. I meant just so many strands they have very blue cast and you can easily see the strands in the light. The UGA eye specialist doing CERF said.. "wow, I haven't seen this many strands in a very long time!" He asked me to bring him back to him, FREE, to see how many went away after a year. Some did but she still has heavy strands.

    Neither the sire, Bongo nor the dam of your dog is in the Basenji Pedigree Database. It is important to have the non-AKC registered dogs in it. Please e-mail Sally Wallis with all of the pedigree information at sally.wallis@btopenworld.com If Bongo was used as a breeding dog for many years, he may not get along with other male dogs. Was Bongo turned over to BRAT by Esh or did someone else own him? Many PA commercial dog breeders got out of the business when PA passed the new dog kennel laws. I could not find a USDA license nor a PA Kennel license for Esh. Thanks, Jennifer
