Basenji Pedigree Search

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • I have been perusing the suggested 'Zande Basenji' sponsored site (http://www.pedigrees.zandebasenjis.com) from another forum topic area and trying to find my male's extended pedigree. Tyler is listed there, but none of the additional info. No dam, no sire, etc… (http://www.pedigrees.zandebasenjis.com/)

    Am I wrong to find this highly suspect? (NOT by Zande, but the breeders)

    My male's breeders have a Jan. 27, 2000 litter registered (http://www.basenji.org/african/ImbaTena.htm)), but nothing of Ty's litter of 12/21/97. I have the sire's information/pedigree–-Eldorado's Adonis--, but unfortunately I come up with nothing for him, either. As I search through 10 plus years of paper work, coupled with a home move, and a major flood this past spring, I can't find the bitch info.

    Any suggestions for following up on TY's relatives is greatly appreciated:)

  • Eldorado's Adonis is there, search on just Adonis (is that your boy's sire? or is it Imba Tena?)

    If breeders don't send Sally the litter information then she can't link that info to the offspring. Lisa (lvoss) and I try to help her fill in the blanks.

  • Also, did you get your boy from Eldorado?

  • Yes, an Eldorado Adonis pup (now a gracefully aging elder) No, not purchased from an "Eldorado" breeder that I know of (if that makes sense). Tanza, I purchased my dog from Jim I., Quincy, IL. Ty's Rwanda lines were registered per pup contract. I only included the link to show the Icenogle/Coe relationship, as that was my boys co-breeders as well in 1997.

  • If you send me the sire and dam's name and Ty's registration number, I can help Sally get the database updated. My email address is lisa at basenjinet dot net.

    Sally gets most of her information directly from breeders. The only way she can get litter information for dog's whose breeders don't submit them is to get them from sources like Show Catalogs, Nationals Results, etc. That means if the dogs are never shown, coursed, raced, then there is no way for us to know they exist. I do my best to get show information for her as well as to help her get information of pet store dogs, BYBs etc. This information can be very helpful for owners but is difficult for us to provide if we don't know at least the sire, dam, and one pup's info.

  • Lisa and or Pat,
    Does Sally also get information from the CPP if owners fill out the pedigree survey? Just curious about how the whole process works

    Not sure what you mean by "Rwanda" lines? But if Adonis is the pups sire, you are correct, there is no litter in his breeding information on the date you are showing as Ty's birthdate… so could be that Jim I (I don't know any breeders by that name in IL, by the way) never registered the litter....

    If you know Ty's Dam's name, that would be helpful

  • @LiveWWSD:

    She does not get any information from the CPP site (which is pretty new). She gets her information from breeders directly, stud books, show catalogs… but mostly she relys on breeder information....

  • Anyone who has pedigree information that is not in Sally's database and wants it listed is welcome to email me the information and I will send it to Sally.

    The minimum information that I need is the Sire, Dam, and puppy's AKC registration number.

    If the dog is not AKC registered then I need a little bit more like Name, Birthdate, Color, Sex

    If you only have partial information that is okay, you can send it along. Sometimes we can piece things together with partial information or it may link up to something later when someone else provides info.

  • What I was told by Jim Icenogle was that all of his pups, if registered, had to have the word Rwanda in the registered name, I guess like a kennel name or something??

    My daughter is searching through her things at college to see if she took Ty's complete papers with her. I happened to run across a xerox of the sires lines stuck in her copy of "The Complete Basenji".

    Funny, I could have SWORN the breeder told us the litter was registered. Live and learn.

    Thanks for all the help.

    BTW…before posting this I googled his name with the word 'dog' and it appears he now raises and shows Chinese Cresteds. At least if I can't find Ty's papers I may be able to locate him and he should have the copies of the dam's side, right?

  • The litter may very well be registered, many litters are registered but don't show up in Sally's database. Do you have Ty's registered name?

  • Rwanda's Tyler the Tiger

  • Dam's name is Rwanda White Diamonds.. (according to AKC). I will let Sally W know so she can make the links (as there is a litter mate on her site also)…

    Jim I's dogs came from Hacker Basenjis....

    Based on the pedigree, if you have not DNA tested for Fanconi, it would be a good idea.

  • Thank you for the info and the advice! I'm planning on him being tested. Glad the swabs are available now. I won't forget to register first.

    Again, thank you.

  • Interesting, I just visted OFFA and the Hacker web site with the new info you've given me. Very interesting.

    BTW…..is it common to have a disclaimer concerning possible Fanconi infected dogs in a puppy sales contract?

    Again, thank you for all the time and effort you put into helping me. You're a gem:D

    I don't think that Hackers are active in breeder Basenjis at this time and have not been for 5 or more years…. their note about Fanconi comes from before we had the DNA test for Fanconi and we could only use our best judgement in breeding. So breeders could never say "never" regarding Fanconi prior to the DNA test. This is why it is so important that breeders test "before" breeding...

    Glad that I can help.. and if you have more questions, please feel free to ask...

    Ivoss,

    Do you mind if I email you Nemo's info? I was wondering how to get him on the database.

    Thanks,
    Clay

  • No problem. Send it to me and I will get it to Sally.

    Yeah you told me about that before and I'm clueless, but I'll try it if I need to, lol. could be the noise of occasional thump, could be they can hear it even tho we can't. My chow would be drooling buckets before we got a mile away. I just had to keep towels down and take off and bag along the trip. But I took her for a 7 hr trip to atlanta and she threw up and threw up, then stopped. Never threw up again. :( on your back. I had been getting radiofrequency ablations in the US, and they really helped. But doctors here will only do them once or twice. I have had at least 6 on one side, 3 on the other. :( But it's miraculous pain relief when it is done right. Maybe your dog acupuncturists knows of a human one they'd recommend?

    I too am sorry for not seeing this thread sooner and hopefully the poster will return. My Basenji had some teeth removed and the vet prescribed Carprofen as the follow up antibiotic. My Basenji turned out to be allergic to Carprofen which caused her liver to fail. I went through the same scenario you are describing. She gradually quit eating over the course of several days and then her water consumption started to go down. The eating had me worried since she had an excellent appetite upon return from the vet and the final purging of the anesthesia from her system. Nevertheless, her condition started to degrade. I followed her outside and watched her urinate. Her urine was a very bright yellow. I suspected then a liver issue. Once back inside she was shivering - off to the vet we went. LIver panel blood work up showed very high on specific indicators for failing liver. Vet prescribed Denamarin (containing SAM-e and silybin). SAM-e helps protect liver cells from cell death and aids in cell repair and regeneration. The Vet also started fluid injections. Fluid injections were everyday for two weeks. My Basenji showed a remarkable response to the fluid injections becoming much more her normal self even after the first day. She hated the injections and I could hear her cry when receiving them at the vet (believe me that will tear you up). But she was doing better and she (me) were going to have to tuff this out. Also a different antibiotic was prescribed to prevent liver infection during recovery. The Denamarin comes in dosages based on weight (medium for us). It is the size of a large human like solid oblong vitamin pill. Instructions want you to give it on an empty stomach and preferably not to cut it or place in something similar to a pill pocket however you can if necessary. My Basenji would not take that size (can't blame her). Cutting and disguising it did not work either. I was frantic and got the SAM-e in powder form. I couldn't slip her that either. All though some folks had success with peanut butter and liverwurst. I finally after three days had to have the vet pill her along with her fluid treatments. A week later another blood sample and her liver panel indicators were coming down. The pilling would last for a month and it took two people to get the pill down her. The important part is - she fully recovered from the liver failure. She is 13 1/2 yrs old. My experience after having 5 Basenjis is that the breed is sensitive to medications (anesthesia also). Many of the medications work just fine in most other breeds and mixes. The vet, if not that experienced with the Basenji, must be cautioned. Mine was not. Before accepting any medication have the vet go over any contraindications with you and to double check their resources for potential side effects when dealing with Basenjis. They may switch to something else if a medication has a bad track history with Basenjis. Know what to watch for should your Basenji start to react in a non-positive manner. The poster did not indicate if there were medications in play when the dog started showing degenerating conditions. I sincerely hopes this helps in some way and helps other Basenji owners

    Yes, Spencer is much better now, but he is still very thin. He lost six pounds. Even strong antibiotics cannot fight a severe abscess. I'm sure your vet found and resolved the problem under anesthesia, so that should put Egyn over the hump. SubQs and a few weeks of antiobiotics will hopefully get him back on the road to health. I had to feed Spencer critical care dog food through a syringe for several days after the surgery, then make him special soft food– the aforementioned meatballs-- for weeks after that. Good luck to you-- and positive thoughts to Egyn!

    @ibi_n_sane: the ears of the basenji of the pictures you show look like their is really something wrong, but it is not right to think that a basenji with a bit thin fur on his ears also has a condition/ disease that causes this. Of course, this dog is diagnosed with pattern baldness. And no, you can't say that every basenji/dog with less fur on the ears has this condition. Like Tanza said: it could be flies, or maybe cold, malnutrition.. I do think that Tillo's bald blackish ear rims are more than just 'loosing hair because it's winter/spring/summer..' And I would love to know what's causing it. That's why I wanted to ask it at the University and that's why I was suprised to see the B-ears on the screen and to hear about this 'pattern baldness' :)

    Thank you so much for the encouraging words. We have been running him with our other dogs in our yard, we have about half acre or so, and he is fast..He loves it, just don't think he is used to out heat yet, it is already about 85+ degrees and very humid…I think he looks good, he is definitely babychunky, not fat, but what I envision a puppy looking like before he grows into his own body. We will keep up with what we have done so far and see what he turns out like...can't be bad, just beautiful.. Basenjimamma

    An update on Ben's condition. He had his teeth cleaned this morning and the vet had to remove several teeth. A large tooth in the back of the mouth had a cavity that went all the way to the root. He never lost his appetite during the whole ordeal or seemed to have any sensetivity of his mouth. I hope this is the end of the suffering he was going through. He was a rescue dog so we don't have the previous owners records as to dental care he had in the past. You can be sure he will be monitored from here on out for any sign of tooth decay or tarter build up. Thanks to everyone who replyed to my inquiry on Basenji health.
