Monty is finally here
-
was in contact with the breeder today she is sending us a fanconi test kit,
-
Oh, that is wonderful…glad she is doing this for this b of yours.
-
Basenjis with excess amounts of white exist regardless of whether they have imported African dogs behind them or not. You can find them even if the pup has nothing but champions in it's pedigree.
Monty is adorable no matter what his ancestors were. Good luck with your new puppy.
Oh no I fully agree, I'm not trying to ruffle feathers I don't mean it in that way I didn't mean it to come off like that. And Monty is absolutely adorable puppy.
:p I think the white on him makes him quite unique. I hope that twshutika keeps all the pictures coming so that we can watch him grow.twshutika: I'm very happy to hear that your breeder is going to send you a fanconi test kit. And please keep posting pictures of him. Don't starve of us this special little boy that you have.

He is still as adorable as he was as a puppy…I love all the white. Makes him very unique and to me that is really great! Looks like he has a fun life with you. :D:D
-
have fun with your new Furbaby!
-
Monty is gorgeous!!! What a unique look-He will turn many the heads of everyone, now and at adulthood!!! especially Basenji Aficionados! Many years of happiness to you!
-
What a gorgeous boy! Ive never seen that much white either…and his tail doesnt look like it has any curl to it either. Looks too straight. Pups at that age usually have SOME curl starting to their tail. Are you sure he's full blood? Regardless, he's adorable
-
super cute pup!
-
Did you get your fanconi cheek swab test yet? Any results back, if you did??
More photos please. He is very handsome. -

I believe this is a pup from Rose Marie Holt and an opps breeding from the dogs she brought back from Benin (or a village close by?). So they at this point are not AKC registered and if put up for admission into the AKC stud books would be considered breeding stock with no known parentage. There is a process developed by the Basenji Club of America for inclusion of imported stock to the AKC stud books and that can be found at www.basenji.org

He's turned into a very handsome boy!

As some of the other b's brought back were not put up they were not the quality the basenji breeders wanted, and I type this as I have one I doubt that RM dogs will be considered and approved. As she hasn't even tried to do this at this point speaks to the fact that they will probably not pass the clubs muster. imo. That being said, this boy is lovely, will make a fine pet, but you need to make sure of the health issues you might have in the future. DO the cheek swab, if she wont' sent it to you, YOU do it, we will send you the site. YOU want to keep this boy with you for many years, and if you know what is coming you can be prepaired.

So adorable!!!

More photos please. He is very handsome.We were able to get ahold of the breeder. she came down for photos she said she needed for getting him registered, and she also did the fanconi swab test. I have not been able to get aholdof her again to find out The results yet though.

I think this is a pretty crappy assumption. In fact, do you realize how many people on here LOVED one of these pups when I posted pictures of them??
You probably don't… but I do.
Things happen in peoples lives that does not put the idea of registering the dogs first in their life. There is life other than dogs. Really, there is.
Rose Marie has contracts on each of her puppies and had every intention of making sure each puppy was fanconi tested.I haven't talked with RM about these puppies in particular, but by looking at Monty, I would make a big assumption that his sire is Ahmahr Nahr's Blue Chip, who has tested as Fanconi Clear. I believe the dam is Chere. Chere tested as Fanconi Carrier. Chere has a large loose tail curl when she is happy... when relaxed she allows it to hang down low. Chip has a large loose single tail curl.
Monty is a flashy boy... and boy can I see Chipper in him!
