@mamicam said in Do you think he is part basenji or Jack russell?:
He's darling. Brat had a half chihuahua/half baseji on the mixed page years ago. So who knows. Whatever, that' is one cute fellow!
A basenji/jack russel would not be affected by Fanconi as it is necessary for both parents to have the gene. Unless the parents are also mixes with fanconi genes. However I agree the DNA can give a lot of value for health as well as cues about what breeds are in the mix.
I am so sorry about your brother. Yes, seems he was meant to be with your family. If you get a chance, record his vocalizations. We really love pictures and videos!
FYI, the marrow bones are OK for them to gnaw on, but after a while they will become more brittle and might break apart like one of those pics showed…but it will take a while, like a month or more. I give my dogs nothing but knucklebones or marrowbones-RAW- and they love it and as an added bonus one of my non-B's has gotten almost of his tartar build up off, and we have only been doing the RAW diet for a month...yeah. The vet wanted him to come in for some serious teeth cleaning with doggie valium and all that...not needed anymore.
Of course I love the pics...especially the one with the funny face, second from bottom..
