Meet Simba

You can do it from your phone, but the file may be too large. The easiest way to downsize it, at least from an iphone, is to email the picture to yourself, choosing "medium" for size, and save the resulting file when you receive it. Then upload that downsized file.

Handsome boy!!

@wynette - There are more than 2 breeders in GA. I was just guessing in looking at the picture. He looks like their breeding. I hope that the sire/dam had been DNA tested for Fanconi and that the owners checked that out to verify at www.ofa.org. And if not the owners get the DNA test from www.ofa.org, it is a cheek swab that owners do themselves. In my opinion this is not a good breeder, produces way to many puppies, prices are way, way to high and Basenjis have appeared in rescue group as the breeders do not take pups/adults back.

Thank you for that - Without his full name, I have added him to the database as Harmony 'Simba'. I can easily change it. And his date of birth would also help ! When I re-upload the database later today or tomorrow, his details will be there and you can trace the Basenjis behind him who have been tested.
Both his parents are AKC registered but unless they were DNA tested under aliases (not their registered names) they have NOT been tested for Fanconi or PRA.
Most recent in Simba's pedigree to have been tested is Grandsire Harmony's Ramses The Great who tested as 'carrier of Fanconi.' Of his 8 Great-grand parents - 5 were tested. One was a carrier and 4 were clear/normal.
I really do recommend that you check Simba for Fanconi. If he is a carrier, he won't develop the disease but it is always best to know for sure. [www.ofa.org](link url).
