Does Anyone Know These Lompoc Bs??

Basenji Rescue
  • Karen of Basenji Rescue of So Cal asked me to post the following info. If you have any info or are interested in adopting them you can send me a private message here at the forum or contact Karen:

    We are trying to locate anyone who knows anything about two older lady basenjis whose owner died in Lompoc area last month. The poor basenjis had been put into their crates when she died and could have been crated for even up to a week. If anyone knows who these came from or anything about them, the shelter people would appreciate knowing. Also may be needing some wonderful person to offer them a home.

    Duke won't be staying in his foster home, so now I'm working on a plan to get him to me.

    Debra, thanks for finding their numbers. I hope they go together into rescue. I would hate for one of them to be adopted without the other and be left at the shelter! Jennifer

    How sad is that….. sorry.. I have little time for people that have young human babies and then get not only one dog, but two.... I have had many people want "2" pups from me thinking that they would be "good "baby sitters" for their toddlers... NOT

    @Quercus: I wasn't actually referring to dogs that are affected, but indentified as carriers. I was remember a discussion that occurred very early on in the testing, that some carriers may have some 'bleed thru' of the 'guilty' gene, and spill sugar very late in life. And Dr. Johnson wasn't sure if it was due to regular old age kidney changes, or some sort of genetic explanation. It is very possible that that is very old information, and no longer accurate…but it wasn't the case of inaccurate testing at all. Good information about testing carriers monthly, though. I didn't realize that, and I haven't been doing it...guess I need to start again.. I have never heard of anyone talking about "bleed thru" or what that is supposed to me. A dog cannot spill sugar [as in fanconi] without having two mutant genes. Which would then mean that the dog is affected. And to make sure it is understood, the two girls that were actually affected did NOT have inaccurate testing. Nothing happened at the lab or at home. The dogs DNA actually shows that they are carriers. Remember this is the linkage test, and not a direct test. With the recent equipment purchase and plan of some more testing, they wre able to narrow the 'possble' genes down to 1/3 of what they were planning to look at…so hopefully more info is forthcoming soon. It is good to know this girl will be getting a great home! Good luck with her!
