  • So you have had the dogs for less than a month and you bred either the 7 month old puppy to him or the blind one who may be blind from an inherited condition called Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA)? And I am sure that you are aware that the scabies (aka mange) will be transmitted to the puppies, right?

  • is Progressive Retinal Atrophy will be transmitted to the puppies too?

  • @anukotor:

    is Progressive Retinal Atrophy will be transmitted to the puppies too?

    If PRA is the reason for the female's blindness then yes, the puppies will inherit the genes. If the sire also carries PRA then the whole litter is at risk of eventually becoming blind.

  • I just don't have the word to tell you what I think. Sigh!

  • Are there buyers for the puppies? Are the dam and sire fanconi tested? Sigh.

  • Rarely have I seen such utter total irresponsible behavior all but bragged about. Get the bitch into the vet, SPAY HER THIS WEEK, problem solved.

  • EW I agree spay now, no need for those puppies to happen
    '

  • …I am shocked..is this supposed to be a funny thing?? Take repsonsibility NOW !!

  • I can only think that this is a $$$ making deal for everyone.
    That poor bitch. Oh, my how many litters has she had???

  • The Nerve!!! WHY brag about something THAT irresponsible??? Get her spayed NOW! Irresponsible back yard breeders MAKE ME SICK! No need for her to have puppies…and im sure you'll only sell them for a fast buck and then the poor things will possibly become blind since it will be in their genes. I have MUCH more to say but I will not....Ill keep my mouth shut.

  • Maybe we can educate him? I hope so. I feel so darn bad for the dogs and puppies coming. Sigh.

  • @sharronhurlbut:

    Maybe we can educate him? I hope so. I feel so darn bad for the dogs and puppies coming. Sigh.

    I agree…maybe we can do something to teach him

  • i will not sell for $$$

  • You shouldnt let them be born at all! They will be inheriting a BUNCH of health issues! If you cared about them you'd have her spayed TOMORROW and not allow them to be born into a world of possible ILLNESS. Anyone you sell a pup to will have a dog who could potentially have LOTS of health problems. Do you want that to happen?

  • i only want to have 1 puppie, then i promise after i have that, i will spay them all

  • Poor dogs! Im outraged at you Anukotor! Allowing dogs with potentially bad health problems to be born!!!!!!!!!!! Why not RESCUE a puppy or young dog?! Why IRRESPONSIBLY BREED 2 Ill dogs?!

  • Obviously you dont care about your dogs or the unborn puppies…because if you did you wouldnt want SICK dogs to be born! You're selfish and only care about what you want! Not about the dogs.

  • why do you want to have puppies when we are all telling the puppies you are trying to have will be riddled with poor health and genetics? Why would you even think to do it knowing these puppies will suffer? Do you understand what you are doing is cruel? ….all because you are determined to have a puppy. Its unbelievable how unintelligent you sound
    if you want another puppy then buy one, dont try to breed a dog that you CLEARLY have no experience or common sense to do so

  • Well said Chealsie! This guy is SELFISH!

  • Sorry, but this is not something that any of us can celebrate, congratulate, or be impressed by.

    You say you just want one puppy, but what if you don't even have one healthy puppy you can pick from? Are you still going to be committed to that 1 puppy and the puppy's parents for life? And the rest of the puppies?

    This is a very bad choice. I would even call it downright stupid. But it can be fixed. Please do as Debra and Lisa recommended, and get her spayed immediately. It will save you a lot of trouble and possible heartache in the future.

    So many times people post pictures and ask what folks on the forum think about their dogs. Often, the most convincing in appearance turn out disappointingly to not have any Basenji blood. When you think about it, there are not likely all that many crossbreds out there. Most people with an intact Basenji bitch are not looking to cover her with anything but a purebred male, and in North America generally females are spayed because most breeders require it for pet puppies. Bitches that are showing are even less likely to be bred to something outside the breed.

    I'm originally from California so that is where we got them. I will have to ask my mom if she knows anything about their breeding. They were both over a year old when they came to us. The male was an escaper. My parents had to add an extention on our 6 ft wall because he would jump it. Even then he found a way to get out. We couldnt figure it out for the longest time how he did it. He had found a window upstairs that didn't latch, he would nose it open get on the roof then jump to the wall and from the wall to the ground. The male in pic is prob just sniffing We were working on that bedroom so there were alot of new scents. I cant recall him ever barooing. The female though was very vocal. After talking to my mom, I don't have any more info. Both dogs were given up by their owners because they became to much for them to handle. Alphy the male was a handful being an escaper, Lady was a great counter surfer. Alphy liked all dogs and people. Lady only liked people. But other than that they were sweet and loving dogs.

    We got Killian from a breeder in Ohio–-Jim Edgerton. That's where he had gotten our previous male basenji. We took Logan and Jasmine to his place and looked at several 1 year olds and a puppies and Jasmine eliminated the others and we agreed with her pick.
