Wheat's new fanconi test

Off Topic
  • Wheat, my african village dog, was tested by the old test when she was brought into the country. She was shown to be a carrier. That was a bit shocking as she was the first carrier from Africa that turned u.
    BUT with the new test, my sweet girl is shown to be Clear. As she isn't being bred, that is just good information
    to have.

  • One of RMH's village dogs tested Carrier also

  • I didn't realize she had done any testing on her dogs. Thanks for that information.

  • So, curious. First tested carrier and now clear. Sharron, will you strip test her monthly? I know you take such good care of your dogs (and Lou). :)

    Not Sharron, but it was carrier with the linkage test, clear with the direct test. Should be no reason to strip

    This is public info Sharron, very easy for you to look up and/or keep track of if you are concerned she is not testing enough. There are currently 27 OFA entries bearing the Avuvi name-of which I believe 7 (or so) are not Marie's.

    As for the Avuvi carrier - it is via the linkage test so it too might be a clear via the direct.

  • Hooray for Miss Wheat.

  • Linda, thanks for this information. As they aren't basenjis. I don't keep track.

  • Fran. As Pat said, I understand I don't have to strip test them, but it's cheap and easy, so if its decided I need to
    I am happy to.
    Hugs to you.

  • Patty, thanks for the note. I told Lisa not to spend the $$ as Wheat is going to always be a virgin, but she wanted to, just for information to share with folks. I can't believe what a treat this little girl is to our family. She came all the way from Africa to find us. We are so lucky.

    @Basenjimamma: …Oh, I want one of those generators too..they are just so darn expensive..We need them down here too, if we have a storm, our neighborhood of 25 or so homes are one of the last on the list to get our power back..it sucks.. We do have a generator that is large enough to either run the fridge and a few lamps, OR our waterpump..so you have to pick your battles when the electricity goes.. Yeah, see my problem is I want the whole house automatically on when the power goes out - gone are the days when I find it an adventure! As it is, I've compromised and were only doing the first floor (including all kitchen, laundry, office, bedrooms, bath, basement - furnace, well/water) and the only thing on the 2nd floor will be the bathroom. During the ice storm last winter we lost power for 4 days. During the ice storm of 98 (?) we lost power for 17days - CNN was filming right in front of our house. :eek:

    @Natalplum: You both are in my thoughts. I hope your DH comes home safe and healthy. You will NEVER be lonely with your B's around. They are the best to call on for some love and comfort. Not to mention a lot of laughs! That's the best thing having a B brought into my life. I was so depressed, and then along came a B to make me laugh again. Worth their weight in gold, for sure….

    There is a special place in hell for folks who do this to animals. I totally believe that. I am sad for the dogs, but at least now the are being helped or put out of their pain. Sigh
