Some years back, during our Shiba Inu and Jindo period our Jindo developed a terrible rash and wht with her licking turned into huge hot spots, loss of hair and everything. Our vet narrowed it down to a grain alergy, suggested we go to an avocado based food, AvoDerm. Within 2 weeks she stopped itching and chewing, and 6 months later all her hair was grown out. As time went by she developed a beautiful luxurious coat, never had another problem with alergies or skin problems. We realize that B's dont have the long double coats like Shibas or Jindos, but our philosophy is if it ain't broke don't fix it, so we have just continued feeding AvoDerm to our B's as we accumulated our pack. The main problem with it is, if we feed them as reccomended they gain weight, so we really have to watch their diet.

I am new to the site. I am picking up my baby Cheyenne on the 27th and can not wait to get her home. Wanted to stop by and say hi. I have own a Basenji before so I know what they are like but wanted to get in with other people who have them and see what they have to say..

Wonderful and as always the first thing we want to remind you is that you hopefully check the Fanconie Status of the sire and dam of your puppy before purchase - and that the information is public and on the OFFA.org website.
Looking forward to pictures.
-
Are you talking about the mom and dad ? We did see papers on them if that is what you are talking about.. Pictures are up
-
Do you mean paperwork that said they are clear of Fanconie Disease or do you mean registration papers? Not seeing any pics but the internet reveals things in it's own time - LOL
-
I have the Reg papers. What do I need for the Fanconie Disease to check on it? I am new so sorry for all the ??? Pictures are on my profile

I just peeked too, and she is precious, that's for sure!
They look like such angels when they are puppies that they really do look like babies. It's that innocence that captures our hearts and will later make us question our insanity, lol.Welcome to the Forum!

Hi re Fanconi,
if you go onto the http://www.offa.org website you should be able to see the status of Cheyenne's sire and dam and hopefuly the pups too.
You could also ask the breeder if the pups have been tested but the reccomendation is to check yourself as well on the ofa site. -
