These disorders have been mentioned before in this and the other thread. You are not reading posts carefully. You are just hitting reply without fully digesting what is being said.
I am sure this link has been posted before but here it is again, http://www.basenji.org/PUBLIC/HealthInfo.htm It is the BCOA's page on health concerns in the basenji breed and it includes detailed information about each disease and testing.
Then take break, buy the ABC's of Dog Breeding and read it, email some breeders and owners, and just sit back and really take it in for awhile before just jumping to hit reply.

"pedro" writes and acts like a 12 year old with nothing better to do than to troll the forum and cause problems. I do not think you are a real adult nor do I think you are truly here for conversation. Please, go elsewhere to get your jollies.
mte!….Robyn...you crab @~~ !! Ha, ha...feel better soon!

Keep in mind that you will not be able to register any pups produced with the American Kennel Club or the United Kennel Club which are the only legit registries. The rest are made up so that pure for profit breeders can say their puppies have papers. They are of not more use that the paper they are printed on. So just in that respect you would not be a responsible breeder.
And you have been given many links within this thread of sites to visit and learn about the breed, health concerns, etc. that you have not taken advantage of doing so.
-
and as for you calling me lazy or ignorance you might want to go back to whenyou started out on do this!! you shure wasn't born a pro at it!!.
You are correct, none of us were pro's at it… HOWEVER, the difference is we found ourselves a mentor to learn from BEFORE we ever considered breeding anything.
-
thanks tanza i just didn't thank it would be that hard in breeding a dog!. now that i have been looking at all the stuff that go with it, exspecialy on the health !! you are right!!!! thank's alot for being nice and respectful to me over all this!!.i have changed my mine on breeding him!!!. but i would like to get a playmate for him. and everyone here have said it's best with differnt sexs!! but i'm not ready to breed thats'for sure!!!!!!!> i have to find a mentor!!. it would be great to find one. i'll have to look into getting a nother basenji after i get him fixed, but is it better to get him fixed or would it be better to the female fixed?? because i have heard that it takes off 3- 6 yrs. off his lifeline to fix a male dog of any kind!>?
-
It is best to have any non-breeding animals fixed.
-
The only studies I have seen about lifespan and being intact were done on mice and showed that neutered mice lived longer than intact mice.
Once the growth plates are closed which Pedro's would be there is no reason why to keep him intact. As has been stated before the reduced testerone levels will greatly reduce the chance of fights at the dog park even those initiated by other dogs.
-
that i have fou nd to not be true!! the one dalmation and the doberman where fixed and both charged at little man!!. so i guess it depends on the dog it self on that one.
-
you know i might just get 2 more pup's and have them all fixed!!.. i thanks that might be a great idea!!.
-
that i have fou nd to not be true!! the one dalmation and the doberman where fixed and both charged at little man!!. so i guess it depends on the dog it self on that one.
Actually, it was probably the fact that your dog is intact and smells of testosterone that contributes to these incidents. One reason that many dog parks do not allow intact dogs is that even if they are not aggressively seeking fights they tend to be at the center of many dog park fights.
-
i didn't even thank of the smell of testosterone!! dau!! i really feel stupid now!. they have sutch a hight smell too !! i would love to be able to have there eyes, smell.and hearing! it would be great to have!. it could have been!! the guy said he never seen his dog do that before too!!.
-
Pat and Lisa, you 2 need an award. I got tired just reading this. If Pedro is listening, you have the best advice you will every have. Please, quit posting and re read all the stuff sent to you…then re read it again.
ALL you need has been sent.
You just need to "get it".
*this isn't a slam" I am also suspecting there is some mis communication here.
But please, if your a troll, leave us be, we are trying to help people. -
Oh dear… I am exhausted already. Kudos to everyone who has been so patient. Pedro, I am new to this breed and am finding that reading up on the breed is the best way to start. That and being on this forum and being POLITE. The people you are asking questions to here are not trying to put either you or your dog down. I hope you understand that. Just try to be calm and slowly read what they are saying. And what about going to some dog shows where there are basenjis? I am hoping to meet some breeders this weekend at a dog show. I want the breeders to get to know me, and I want to get to know them and their dogs. There is so much involved in eventually becoming the owner of a well balanced family pet. There is even more to think of if you decide to breed dogs.

Hi kipawa,

hi Pedro, I am sorry that your dog was called 'trash'. All living animals and beings have a right to happiness and a good, healthy life. I myself don't like the idea of feeding table scraps to dogs. A good quality dog food has the properly balanced ingredients to provide a dog with proper nutrition. Us humans don't always eat properly, but at least we can feed our animals well, right?
I don't think the odd 'treat' off of your plate is a problem, but just make sure you know what human food is and isn't safe for a dog to eat. Here is a link that talks about problem 'human' foods. http://www.articlesbase.com/pets-articles/toxic-foods-for-dogs-191994.html I would think that there would be other foods as well. Just as some people have specific food allergies, individual dogs can have them to foods other dogs eat safely. -
thanks kipawa, i will look through this . i didn't thank dog'scould get allergies to people foor!.but i have heard of dogs being allergic to corn. thanks.

PEDRO. we all do want to help you. It seems sometimes we are saying the same things over and over. Sorry if I offended you. Just tired and these post just seem to be too much. Go to the BCOA site and find out who does b's in your area. Go to some dog shows. YOU will have to find them. Then it will be easier to explain.
