Since Buster is a rescue, I would highly suggest that you have DNA Fanconi testing done. It is a cheek swab that you do yourself. You can order the test at www.offa.org for 65.00. Money well spent for peace of mind and know your Basenji's status. Scroll down till you get to Fanconi DNA
Hello from Michigan with 2 Bs

Hey Everyone,
My name is Michelle and I'm so excited to have come across this forum! I live in Michigan and am the human slave to 2 little basenjis. One is Tayda (short for Potato) , a female red and white that I got a year and a half ago from a breeder in Kentucky. And the other is Lenny (named after the character from John Steinbecks Of Mice and Men), a male brindle I got from a breeder here in Michigan about 9 months ago.
More about Tayda and Lenny and a photo in the show off your dog forum.

Hi Michelle - Welcome to this forum and enjoy. I am also in Michigan - Livonia. I think I met your Howell breeder at the Pet Expo in November. She had a pack of Basenjis with her. That was the first time I saw another Basenji in person. My Basenji Duke was found abandoned last March - so I brought him home. He was about 12 weeks old at the time. Found out his breed when he was 6 mos. old. He is very much like having a small child at home - Our home is Basenji proofed at best. Lenny seems like a handful as well. Your B's are also beautiful.

And Duke - That was in fact Kelli, Lenny's breeder in Howell that was at the Pet Expo… She has a nice pack of dogs... just had new puppies too!
