Help me find my B's Breeder!

    I've made it a point to microchip all the critters in my household (both dogs, the cat and the horse is next). Not sure of the particular brand of chip used, but I do know that the chip and the critter are registered with the AKC CAR program. It's piece of mind for me, especially since our local county shelter is a kill shelter. But all the shelters/vets/societies in the area scan for the chips so I'm confident that should anything happen, my boys would all make it home safe and sound.

    For me it's simply peace of mind. And well worth the minimal costs.

    I placed a dog that came out of an all breed rescue that was chipped. When the new owners took him in - the vet found no chip. At the time is seems that the chips at Petsmart/Petco etc were not able to be read by the readers that most folks had. Something about the chips were 'foreign made and not compatible' The other issue with chips - although I'm sure it's improved some - is not all readers read all chips especially in more rural areas.

    I tatto - AKC and the number - everyone knows what AKC is -

    Well not really, I know lots of Vets even that don't know what AKC is… I used to tatto all of mine, but since the person that used to do it retired.. it is pretty hard to find a "good" one. I have seen some that are horrible...

    yeah, that kind of blew me away, too. I've known a lot of people who don't know much about the AKC, but I've never known anyone who wasn't aware of it, and certainly never a vet that didn't know something about it.

    Boggles the mind.

    Actually I may have found some information - I searched the site for Bear and just scrolled until I found something with Panda Bear and behind it is Bolar. Sounds awfully close - if that is the right set of animals (there are some from NZ mixed in so they are not all together) you likely have an animal from a puppy mill. I do recognize many names behind those dogs.

    The only breeders I'm aware of that may fit the bill of geography and have B&W are Karen Kutchta and Deb Devorchak, There was also the K-Bar kennel - geez what was her name - but I think they were in Michigan. If you want to email me off the list - you are welcome to do so and I'll sleuth a bit further with you.

    There are also some folks who track B&W because some believe that there is 2 distinct genetics in B&W - some of those folks may be able to help you. Contact me at:

    Well, I've been off this post for a long time… and I greatly appreciate everyone sluething! I'm guessing I will just have to be satisfied with not knowing Rocky's actual pedigree. It would have been nice to know his background 9and possibly follow some of his original doggie family), but I am content in knowing that we are his family and he is loved. As he's a neutered male, it's not like we're breeding him!

    Thanks again everyone!

    You should consider doing the DNA test for Fanconi especially with not knowing the pedigree… www.basenjihealth.org

    And remember all, for those not DNA tested, monthly strip tests are a MUST

    It's all good. If it weren't for the constant incontinance, I'd wonder about him having Fanconi too. It still amazes me how "normal" they can act while being so sick!

    @Quercus: http://www.pedigrees.zandebasenjis.com/ Did you try here, above? Can you put the sire and dam's numbers into the ACA website? Or is there a number to actually talk to someone, maybe they could help you more? I would think that since you have the litter number, the ACA could help you, if you could talk to a human…. I contacted the ACA last Friday and was told I had to prove that Tippy was a rescue by faxing such documentation. I sent that information in, similar to the info shown in the original post above, including BRAT documentation accordingly. Then, yesterday, I followed up with ACA and was told that a supervisor made the determination that they could'nt help me unless BRAT issued an ACA registration application to me. Then I contacted a few BRAT board members and one answered saying they've never had seen nor heard of such a thing. I'm beginning to feel like the ACA is trying to hide something, something to the effect that they are really a "false marketing front" for the profit-making pet industry. A couple of very nice basenji-loving folks have stepped forward to try to help track down potential puppy mill/pedigree information, but if they are not successful, I wonder how I can convince the ACA that my interest in Tippy's pedigree is purely medical and to support the Fanconi research efforts? Does anyone think it would help if I told the ACA that Tippy is already neutered (as BRAT requires for all their rescues)? I don't necessarily want to register him at all, but if that's what it takes to get his pedigree, I will do it.
