Hilarious, but I am sure highly functional!
Uzie-the new Tri in my life

The Fanconi test can tell you PROBABLY if your dog is a probably clear, probably carrier or probably affected. It really should be done. But no matter the results, you need the urine test strips. You need to do them at least one day a month, preferably 2 days in a row to be safe, for life.
Bless you for rescuing this gorgeous dog! Btw, is that a Swissy in the picture? LOL your poor big dogs, they aren't going to know what hit them!

I NEVER thought about the consequence of having a drooly dog with a Basenji…OMG..yup, I can just see them trying to 'clean' the drool all the time...sheesh!
He is super cute! Congrats

Yes, actually a Bernese Mountain Dog, and true to the nature of things, he is very gentle. I wasn't sure if my Uzie was extra thirsty, liked salty drool or what!? Anyway, I will look into the test strips to check the sugars in the urine. I have read the protocol by Dr Gronto (sp?) concerning Fanconi. And Debra Down South, I was concerned about a young B with Hershey the 10 y/o lab mix, but to my surprise, Uzie is quite dog savvy and not a dominant nature, so luckily it only took one growl from the old man to let the youngin' know he has to keep a distance- so the match was made in heaven!

I have changed my avitar so that all may see the whole family, but I guess I will always be Buddy's Pal since he was the first to train me so well in Basenji! I can only say welcome Uzie, I will treasure you, and school's open!

Congratulations on your new addition. I'm so pleased to see how well he gets on with the others.
-
congrats - what a cutie!
and i love the thought of a basenji being a drool-cleaner-upper! i love big drooly dogs, but am totally grossed out by them. but if suki could keep the drool under control….
yeah, still i don't think so, but a good thought. -
What a lovely pack you have. Congrats on the addition!
-
Congratulations! Can't wait to meet your new guy, he looks great. And (ugh) Topper was a drool addict too, he loved Boxers, Newfies, etc, and licked their jowls clean, uuukkk!
Total gross pout for me. -
Very pretty Tri. Looks like he'll be happy.
-
wonderful! you know that color is called try-ing in basenjis? is that a swissy in your pack?

Drinking a lot of water could indicate a urinary tract infection.

Welcome. Thank you for opening up your home and heart to this basenji! You will find lots of friends on this site.

He looks right at home! Congrats!
I wouldn't worry about him being a try-ing Basenji….yet. Paco's a tri and he's an absolute angel as long as he's been walked.
