Read all the quotes and statements on Fanconi and work out how contradictory it is for yourself. I don't think many UK Basenji owners do a Fanconi 'strip monthly' and certainly some breeders do advocate no test. Are such breeders irresponsible not necessarily. A 'probable' diagnosis on any medical condition is hardly a scientic diagnosis to say the least but testing is better than not and is certainly better than doing nothing.
Best time to neuter?

My puppy bitch came into season today at the age of almost 9 months.
I do not intend to breed from her and will be getting her spayed.
As basenjis usually have only one season a year, is there any particular time I should get this done or does the same rule apply as for 'normal' dogs? -
