@tanza Dad was tested for fanconi and was clear. Mom was not tested. I'll get Chaga tested. Thank you so much for the info! Is there any reason to wait or can you test a puppy? Again, thank you so much!

@basenjicn She's actually Brindle! She's just got a darker face.
Here's a photo of her riding her cousin, Cricket (my sisters horse.)

@taylor-rene-g No reason to wait! Here is the link for ordering. Tests are 65.00 each. https://www.ofa.org/diseases/dna-tested-diseases, go to Basenji PRA and Fanconi Syndrome

@taylor-rene-g Yes you are correct and they just adore Basenjis and of course Mushroom soup. They use the Basenji to hunt the Chaga, kinda like Truffle dogs.

Verify with OFA that he is clear of Fanconi. If he is, your pup might be a carrier but cannot be affected. The only reason for testing would be if you planned to breed her, which hopefully you aren't.

@debradownsouth Considering that the breeder is less than responsible, I would pay for the test... well spent 65.00 for peace of mind

@debradownsouth sorry if I was unclear. Dad is clear per OFA. I'll be testing her regardless.

Sadly, Pat, you have a good point. Saliva tests are still honor system.

@debradownsouth Hunting "Chaga Mushroom(s)", and humour is selective as I am sure you are aware. I think of Amy Beth Schumer when I say this.

@debradownsouth ... "Chaga" refers to both an African Tribe and Mushrooms, the concept of a "truffle hunting dog" relates to the latter, mushrooms. Mushrooms, being a truffle, after all. So, there's no joke here about dogs hunting human beings. I'm sure it's just jet lag... I hope you are enjoying your new home.

No jet lag..one poster said also tribe, response wasn't hunt truffles, basenji hunt Chaga, it was hunt " the" Chaga. The op didn't disagree with my interpretation, another defended it as taste,, which wouldn't be an issue if the indication was mushrooms.
But considering the massive insertions into my comments by kindle the last months, I should not have locked on it. Posts deleted. Thanks. Giving benefit of doubt should always take priority....or ask for clarification.
