I don’t think you are, dang it and I want ALL the dogs to be Basenji! Still… great looking pup. Get a DNA test. If that pup has ANY Basenji in it, I’ll send you a beer. 👊😁👍
Basenji mate

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.

last night i talked to the vet and she said it's okay to have puppies from them but not to sell the puppies to eliminate PRA spread, and she will doing routine test later.
also both sire and dam are passed fancony syndrom test
it's hard to find basenji here, people doesn't like to pet basenji as they said that basenji is hard to train. but we really love their nature and temperament.
if i adopt other young basenji, i think there is no guarantee the basenji are pass healthy test. -
So you're going to KEEP ALL the sick puppies? Since selling them will spread the DISEASE…you'll need to keep them. You STILL dont get it! And any ADOPTED Basenji goes through a health test and everything before it can be adopted. You just dont get it do you? You're okay with breeding SICK dogs?? Just because you like their nature doesnt make it okay to breed SICK dogs. If you MUST have another one why not purchase a puppy from a REPUTABLE breeder?? There's MANY of them on this forum!
-
Also too…say ALL the puppies are very ill and you cannot afford the vet bills for ALL of them...what are you going to do? Euthanize them? Or let them suffer all because you didnt listen to us and decided to irresponsibly breed sick dogs? Think of the future...and what COULD happen

Anubis's Mommy, you might want to note that the poster is in Indonesia…
That said, just because Basenjis are rare there, it does not make it right to breed a sick puppy. It definitely will NOT help your chances of finding a healthy basenji on those 14,000 islands if your puppies are out there and unfixed, whether or not you sell them.
Please, please reconsider. I'm not trying to say I know more than your vet, but I do have to question what your vet is thinking if she's telling you that it's okay to breed dogs with genetic defects?? (I guess that means she'll be able to count on you as a client for a long time!) Research the costs and the care of dealing with a dog with not just PRA or Fanconi, but any of the other genetic diseases that Basenjis are prone to, and ask yourself if you really want to be responsible for doing that to a breed you love.
There was a post recently too about some of the difficulties that can happen in breeding... It's very useful information.

nice post.. this make me reconsider, not judging at all
okay i will call the vet and discuss about spaying them as soon as possible before she get pregnant. -

Thank you for considering this carefully. I hope your vet will be able to help you do the right thing.
I know there are some other non-US/Canadian and non-European forum members here that have thought about breeding Basenjis. It's difficult to do it well without the proper infrastructure, even if you have spent time acquiring a lot of knowledge.
Shannanigan on the Virgin Islands has a good story about what happened to a breeder who ended up with more puppies than he planned on keeping.

There is a lot of passion and experience on this board, and I think that is why people are quick to "judge" sometimes. Myself included. But it's just how strongly these special dogs make us feel.

Nice post curlytails. I do hope he follows through and this litter doesn't happen.
-
also both sire and dam are passed fancony syndrom test
How were they tested? Did you send for the cheek swab DNA test kit from the U.S., or does Indonesia have DNA testing for Fanconi?
If they were tested in some other manner, it most likely means that they don't have Fanconi right now, but that doesn't mean they won't have it in the future. Even with the current DNA test, it's not an absolute test, so all Basenjis, even if tested as "probable clear" should be strip tested monthly starting at 3 years of age.
I do hope you will take everyone's advice here, and have your dogs spayed and neutered (yes, BOTH the females and the males).

Is it just me or is it completely wrong to have filmed the entire 5+ minutes????
-
Just so very sad, I feel for those poor animals
-
Very nice post Curlytails! I am very happy you are going to reconsider. Curlytails knows what they are talking about and it is good to listen to them. You could end up with more problems that you cannot handle. Thank you for reconsidering!!!
-
that it was filmed and then proudly displayed
I feel sorry for the dogs to have such an owner -
I think this all relates to a comment I made on another thread about breeders in mexico, or latin america in general. I can feel it is the same in indonesia,..people just do not see this issue the way we see it, Most people see no problem with dogs breeding, they actually consider it " kind of cruel to NOT let dogs breed. And most, OF course not all, but most people see money first, they dont consider animal cruelty, or the future of the animal, and I think you are right on about the vet.. I cant explain why , its just that I have seen this first hand so much here in dominican republic,.. people just dont get it!!

I am so disgusted at this post. I couldn't even read all of it. How pitiful and sad for the momma and the puppies. I truly hope the spay happens.
