  • My name is Racheal from Tucson, AZ and my husband and I have 2 basenjis. We've had basenjis for 2 years now, both rescues. We have a female, Lucy who is 8 years and a male Zenji who is about the same age. We don't have a lot of history for Zenji. Both of our basenjis have Fanconi, different stages. Zenji was almost bald when we rescued him. He is doing really well now. Lucy has the beginnings of the disease, she, however has awful allergies and we are having a difficult time identifying them. .

  • Hi and welcome, sorry to hear both your dogs have Fanconi. Sure you will find some threads to help you along. Do you have any photo's to share, would love to see Zenji and Lucy. Allergies are definitely awful, we are seeing a holistic vet to help sort out our boys problems, it's slow and steady, I can see improvement so it makes it easier than seeing him suffer. Good luck.

  • Welcome and so sorry to hear about the health issues of your two B's…. Thank you for opening up your home to them... And Thank Goodness we now have DNA tests for Fanconi so that no Basenji ever has to suffer with this horrible affliction.

    Mallia is the third Basenji we have the pleasure of having in the last 30 years. She is a female where as the first two were males.

    First off, Welcome to our site of valueable Basenji information. I have learned so much linking into this site, we have lots of laughs as well. My B, Sahara, crosses her legs all the time, she is such a showoff and often has the regal queen look. I love the look myself, they are such beautiful dogs I must say, not that I am partial or anything. Your Piper is so cute, welcome again.

    Dave hello, I also am new to this site. I had my frist Basenji for sixteen years and lost her last year. I could only go for about a month before getting my next Basenji. I really love this breed I have two now. Good luck in your search for your next Basenji.
