So according to this, the parents and/or the pups have not been DNA tested for Fanconi?

I am wondering who is posting this ad since Mystical Basenjis is Dolores Harmon, who does not "do" email. Nor is she located in OK.
Her litter was b/w and r/w with a fanconi-clear sire and she lives in WV:

This would have to be someone else…. using Dolores' kennel name.
Shame on you.

[etzbseder]

I'm not sure. I think it's a BYB also, if you do a google search it's hard to find, but she lists the pups on myspace, dogster, and OKC superads.

[sharronhurlbut]

It would sure be good to get full info on this so called litter for sale.

[JazzysMom]

She has a myspace page, and according to that is only 22 yrs old.

I believe that Lisa Lynn, who has a B named Bella on this forum, may be her friend on myspace. Maybe she has more info.?
The myspace for this breeder is Basenji Puppies and the web addy is : http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=439250173

[JazzysMom]

I just sent a message on myspace asking if tests were done for Fanconi, and/or hips, patella, thyroid.

[sharronhurlbut]

Do let us know what you hear, if anything.

[YodelDogs]

It is in pretty poor form to be using another breeder's kennel name. :(

[tanza]

I am NOT defending this person… however... I would doubt that she has any idea what a responsible breeder is or that there might be someone with the same "kennel" name for their Basenjis. Or that people don't use the same names....

[JazzysMom]

@YodelDogs:

My guess is that she isn't aware that she IS using another breeder's name.
Probably just sounded like a cool name.

[Knipper]

but if these puppies are AKC registered, doesn't she have to register her kennel name? or do they allow you to use any kennel name? this just sounds fishy…

@Knipper:

Unless you pay to register the "kennel" name.. it is fair game… it is not required to register a kennel name... it is personal choice

[lvoss]

Actually, it isn't even as simple as wanting to register your kennel name with AKC. I would like to be able to do that, but I do not breed enough litters to qualify for a registered kennel name. You must breed 5 litters in 5 years to qualify.

[etzbseder]

wow, that seems like a lot, especially considering what goes into a good litter.

[lvoss]

Yes, especially when you only breed a litter because you plan to keep a puppy and all your dogs are housedogs.

@JazzysMom:

Maybe not but I hope she reads this and refrains from using it from this point on.

[bellabasenji]

Yes, she recently sent me a friend request which I accepted. I suspected BYB also, I asked her a question about how long she had been breeding Basenjis. I was trying to get a response and dig a little deeper, but she never responded to my question… which made me even more suspicious. I left her as my friend for future reference, interesting she popped up here!
