Patiently (ish) waiting

@zande the breeder kindly forwarded the images of the fanconi results again and I have emailed them to you (with his knowledge).

[Zande]

@jkent Yes - The rest of Europe and all of USA uses OFA, the Russians use Zoogen and in Australia it is Orivet. This is a totally new testing agency I have never heard of.

However, your dog's parents are both clear by parents anyway so I have accepted these certificates.

Interesting that the UK might have its own OFA equivalent - But I am continuing to use OFA when I get Kito checked !

I am very happy with the breeder we have chosen she has been so helpful and I can see she is well thought of in the community.

We are now down to 2 names (we think, 6 year old changes her mind every 5 minutes lol). Gizmo (front runner) and Fox.

@enquiring_mind - Honestly? The pup you tell you what name is the best when you get the pup home....LOL

[Zande]

@tanza mine always tell me what they want to be called . Best not have any preconceived ideas

We have some new pictures of our boy Gizmo. Oh I am so excited to have him with our family soon.

[JKent]

@enquiring_mind he looks very cheeky!

[enquiring_mind]

@jkent doesn't he. My cheeky boy. 🥰

Adorable impish little face! 🥰You’re in for a load a fun with Gizmo! Congratulations! 🐾

[eeeefarm]

I love his face and expression. Jealous here! He's likely going to be trouble, but so much fun!

Well on Friday night at 12:30am, after a long journey, our Gizmo arrived home.

He has settled in like a dream. The first 24 hours have been great. He's great with my 6 year old daughter, walking nicely (was pulling a lot at first) and no messes in the house.

I was worried how he would do in his create at night after all his naps being on the hooman cushions. But after a little time of whimpering he's slept well too.

@enquiring_mind
Congratulations! He is ADORABLE! 🥰🐾

He is super cute, but do register him with the Kennel Club - same applies to everyone who is importing a Basenji puppy into UK. Doesn't matter if you never intend to breed or to show - all dogs should be registered. Go to the KC website and follow instructions.

Thank you, this is my list of things to do this week.
