  • 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.

    Hi Kiro, Welcome our neck of the woods. I live just a bit past Emmittsburg in PA so I'm not too far. The Mid-Atlantic Basenji Club meets at the Carroll County Agricultural Center right there in Westminster. Our next meeting is 1 June and there will also be a spring fun match that same day. It starts at 0900. There is a Yahoo group for the club that has info about the event. It's fun and games. It's really neat to see so many basenjis in one place. Hope you can make it. It's a nice club to belong to. Karen

    Hello and welcome to the forum. Can't wait to see pics of Dash, and the rest of the family!!! I do home visits for BRAT. Would love to foster one, but space will not allow it at this time.
