The Basenji Club of America and OFA are doing a health survey (actually OFA is doing a health survey for all breeds). If you are so inclined you can find the survey here: https://www.ofa.org/about/educational-resources/health-surveys?fbclid=IwAR1igtoXcoMVaZm8DAgMeV-mKAVLuAFnlAB1-LlcXDStG2vxTzwttpHwS6U

@donc Done.

Hopefully Basenjis and their owners everywhere will thank you!

Not sure this is scientific but it can't hurt.

@vickilb: My little BRAT, Hunter, LOVES to make his own trails when we go hiking. Last year he got one of those Foxtail seeds stuck way the heck down his eardrum. He had to be put under because it was resting on his ear drum and he wouldn't hold still for the vet!!! $500 later, he is as good as new. Do I take him to the same hiking area, you betcha!!!! Those foxtails are BAD! We have them here in the summer, and they are everywhere, so there is not much we can do. Yes, that kind of vet procedure can cost quite a bit. What we don't do for our fur babies!

I plan on putting some money into a savings account monthly, about $75. All the fine print scares me, and I don't want the hassles if something I thought was covered is not.

$15 http://www.offa.org/dnaappbw.pdf I think it may just be that I spend an inordinate amount of time on the OFA site.

He is rated OFA Normal, everything is in range other than the Free T3 and Total T3 values which are both low. And amazingly, Dr Dodd has already responsed to my email. She said those low values are usually an indication of "some non-thyroidal issues" but everything else looked good (she even provided the normal sighthound ranges for all of the tests). So, I guess I'll have to figure out what "some non-thyroidal issues" may entail and if it's something I need to address. I guess I'll put a separate post about that.

@YodelDogs: Was this litter bred before or after the DNA test was made available? Before. Pups from that litter are now adult dogs.
