New puppy in Indiana

@taryn121:

I got him from Mariah Akitas and Basenjis in Indy.
Thanks for the advice! I'll post a picture of him soon!

Which of the Basenjis from Mariah are his sire and dam?

Paladin is his sire and Tinder is his dam.

Just wondering if you are planning to neuter him? If not and you might be showing or thinking of breeding, you need to have him DNA tested for Fanconi since one parent is Clear and one is a Carrier, so he could be either or….

[taryn121]

Maria told me that he was guaranteed against Fanconi, and it says in the papers I got from her that he wouldn't have it. Should I have him tested anyway?

[lvoss]

Though he will not get Faconi he may carry the gene for it which means he could produce offspring with the disease.

[taryn121]

Thanks for the info. How would I go about getting him tested?

[tanza]

Go to www.basenjihealth.org all the details are there on how to test. You order the cheek swab from www.offa.org (price is 60.00)

Hello & welcome from Canada. Nice to have you here. 1 thing that might work with you for housetraining is having your pup leashed to you as much as possible throughout the day. May help? I read it somewhere that this works.
