Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • JazzysMomJ

    I've been thinking I should write a review of the breeder we got Jazzy from, if for no other reason than he's in this community :rolleyes: , but am not exactly sure what is being looked for here.

    I think it is obvious from previous posts that I am very, very happy with our decision to buy our puppy from Jumoke Basenjis.

    We did visit other breeders before deciding to buy from Bryan and Laurie at Jumoke Basenjis. It was a pretty easy decision for us. On the home visit, we saw healthy, happy, friendly dogs in a clean environment, and talking to Bryan about the breed was like opening an encyclopedia. He had so much information and knowledge about the history, care, potential health problems and how they would be treated, etc. There was no question we had that he couldn't answer immediately.

    The sales agreement that we signed was thorough, and the terms of sale had stipulations that would insure the pup was being placed in a good, safe home. Requirements for spay/neuter, microchip {with Jumoke listed as secondary contact}, indoor humane care, and that the pup will not be sold or given away, donated to shelters, research facilities, etc were included. If the buyer is unable to care for the dog, it can be returned to Jumoke; if that return takes place w/in 3 yrs a partial refund of the purchase price may be given.

    A hereditary health guarantee of ten years {!!} is given {with the exception of Fanconi}, allowing for replacement of a similar dog or refund {Jumoke's decision}.

    The follow-up contact with Jumoke has been outstanding. Bryan has been available, via telephone or email, to answer any question and advise me with any behavior issues that have come up – and I've had a lot of questions.
    and Jazzy's affection for Bryan, even after a year and a half of living with us, is obvious every time she sees him.

    I would recommend Jumoke wholeheartedly to anyone serious about buying a Basenji. Bryan and Laurie are careful, quality breeders. They produce outstanding dogs.

    If I ever manage to convince my husband he wants another one, I'd want it to be a Jumoke baby.

    My Valentino had terrible dandruff. His vet said it was due to dry skin. She had me add Goat's milk and coconut oil to his diet. His dandruff lessened dramatically after about a month. The amount of coconut oil (solid or liquid) per day should be no more than 1 teaspoon per 10lbs of body weight. Valentino is about 27 lbs. so I give him about 2.5-3 teaspoons a day. I divide the amount in half and add it too his meals. I feed goat milk rarely because it is so high in calories.

    I saw that you have a sewing machine – its not hard to make your own coat. I made one for my previous beasties with fleece and wool. I made it with a high colar (for the backside of the neck) and an indentation for the tail and a big belly and chest band (I used snaps at first but then switched to velcro). It worked pretty good for our single digit temps (and the occasional below zero walks to the corner). My current beastie refuses to go out the door with a coat on, however. When the outside temps are below 10F she won't stay outside any longer than necessary to go potty - the squirrels can run around all they want then! With respect to booties, mine will at least tolerate them when we go for walks but it's more for the road salt. However, the good pair I bought this year leak somehow (maybe through the stitching?) and she doesn't like them with they get wet inside. Nevertheless be sure you get the best you can find.

    An update on Ben's condition. He had his teeth cleaned this morning and the vet had to remove several teeth. A large tooth in the back of the mouth had a cavity that went all the way to the root. He never lost his appetite during the whole ordeal or seemed to have any sensetivity of his mouth. I hope this is the end of the suffering he was going through. He was a rescue dog so we don't have the previous owners records as to dental care he had in the past. You can be sure he will be monitored from here on out for any sign of tooth decay or tarter build up. Thanks to everyone who replyed to my inquiry on Basenji health.

    I'm glad to hear the spinal tap went so easily. What a brave little girl Keba is. When I first saw she was getting a spinal tap, I thought oh–that sounds painful. I hope things start improving for her.
