    @senjisilly just now saw your reply. Thanks for the pedigree website. I knew about it and it’s a great resource.

    @zande - So true Zande, the test is 65.00 and considering the heartbreak and cost of caring for a Fanconi Basenji (try shoving down 20+ pills a day) it is something that anyone breeding, even Back Yard Breeders or Puppymills should always do... Also if someone happens to get a puppy or is unsure about the breeder they did get a Basenji puppy from, spend the 65.00 and have the DNA Fanconi test done... again it is a cheek swab that you order from OFA.org

    She just might be having a very heavy shed (blowing coat) which will happen usually after being spayed.. and it can be up to 1 1/2 yrs later…. If you are close to her breeder, take her up that and have her show you how to groom her up.. it is really not hard at all....
