This girl has Fanconi and was bred by Mountain Springs Basenjis in So. California.
She is now in the care of MedFly.

Karen contacted me about this and asked if anyone here on the forum has gotten a B from these people to be aware.

She contacted me too…. :(
Very irresponsible!! Especially when the reputable breeders are working so hard to stop this dreadful disease from spreading. They're like a prostitute who has AIDS and does not care about continuing to spread it as long as they got their $. :(:mad:

Not trying to defend this breeder so don't take my post that way. This girl, Daisy was born in '05 - before the marker test was available. That said, if they knew the parents were carriers/affected with Fanconi (from strip testing) then it is inexcusable. As well it is inexcusable to use the Cambria name.

This is so terribly sad. I would hate to think that any breeder would knowingly breed dogs that would produce Fanconi puppies. Dan, your analogy is right on. Let's hope this wonderful looking little gal finds a special home.

That is so sad… Mountain Springs aren't taking her back then? I couldn't find anything on their site about their policies, just "PUPPIES SOLD, PUPPIES SOLD, PUPPIES SOLD."

I believe that Karen at Medfly has been in touch with Mt Springs and talked to the owner and has decided that she is better off with Medfly considering the situation.

I think I understand. I would agree that rescue is a better place for her too. It'll take a very special adopter to give this the girl the quality of life she deserves!

I have to tell you all, there are very few angels who will take in a fanconi b. I hope this girl finds one…
