Original Black & Whites

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • Since I have a black & white puppy, I was curious how many native black & whites are back in the pedigrees. I've found four so far. Are there more? I know there aren't that many foundation dogs so this number seems reasonable (to me at least!). Here are the ones I found:

    Miliku
    Wheeler's Poor No Friend
    Smokey
    Bwayku

    Thanks!

  • The dogs that are pretty much the foundation black and whites of the breed are Kiki of Cryon who gets her black and white from Wheeler's Poor No Friend and Miliku. I believe the majority of the black and whites today get their black from Kiki.

  • Thanks! I see what you mean, I was mixing up my terminology…native versus foundation dog...and I meant foundation. Zoni gets her black from Miliku on the Jerlin side.

    If all else fails, a thyroid panel might be needed– but typically that is more base of and tail area, all-over etc.

    Hi, No I am not a doctor, just a head over heels in love with my basenji lady. She is my walking buddy & my lap warmer :) I am going to the Vet today for her thyroid meds…I will keep you'all posted on the results. I so hope those ears turn pink, the rash on her tummy goes away & the eges for her ears stop bleeding. ss

    Hydroxizine AKA Atarax is a great drug for treating severe allergies, it is by far the best antihistamine for reducing itching. It does have a high amount of sedation as a side effect and is also marketed as a sleep aid. OTC Zyrtec is a good alternative since it is a metabolite of Atarax and has less sedation. You may want to find a vet that specializes in allergy treatment and have the dog skin tested to identify exactly what it is and isn't allergic to. You could consider allergen immunotherapy to reduce and potentially eliminate the allergies.
