I got Nugget from a breeder last December. She was 11 months old and had Hookworms which it took a long time to treat. she was a handful. not a treat dog sooooo training was hard.
Welcome to the forum - can you tell us the parents and birthday of Nugget so I can be sure such a handsome girl is included in the on-line Basenji pedigree database (see signature block and post me direct per email if you prefer) -
@lynnecnm - You should have your pup DNA tested for Fanconi, it is a cheek swab test that you do and cost 65.00. You can order the test at www.ofa.org and welcome to the Forum!
Hi Janet!!! I'm Nancy and Binti is my black and white Basenji. Your dogs are ALL so beautiful and Soso does look like she got some Basenji!!! If so, she will keep you laughing at her antics for the rest of her life. Glad you and the pack are all happy together-that's the BEST!!!! XOXOXO
What a sweet face! Thank you for taking her in, she needs a forever home.
As Pat indicated, unless you have info on the parents being clear, or at least one clear, she should be tested for Fanconi asap.
A tired Basenji?!!! Joking apart, I agree with the previous posts. It is really important that she doesn't get something for nothing as Wizard advises make her work for it.
Welcome to the Forum to you,Teagan and the others.
