New testing

    @Buana:

    Well! Great news!

    We just made plans to test Chafuko in the near future but we had to plan that a little bit earlier!!!! :d
    Chafuko has been asked as stud!!!!!!
    I won't tell much more at the moment because I first want to know everything for sure :)
    It sure is a fine breeder, makes al the health tests and the bitch is tested prob. clear for fanconi.

    But about the testing, we just enterd our forms at the OFA site for both boys (parents are clear but the stud dog has to be tested himself so we also entered Buana)
    This thursday we have an appointment with the vet for his eyes testing, hips, theroid and ha..

    Does anyone know whats the time between entering the forms on the OFA website and getting the test at home?

    I would think that they mail them out pretty quickly, and it is just a small package for the swabs… but I don't know how long international mail takes...

    Another update!

    Yesterday we made everything clear on both sides and the bitch that should come to holland (it's a bitch that lives with an other family) seems to not have had het reabies shot..
    She can't come to Holland next month :( We and of course the breeder are very sad because everything was already fully arranged..
    She sure wanted to use Chafuko, so we tried to find out if we should be able to come to Sweden with Chafuko. But also he has to be rabies tested before he can go…

    No we have new arrangements for next year :)
    Chafuko will become a daddy of one of her own Basenji's (a very pretty red and white female)
    This lady is a bit too young for breeding this year, otherwise she maybe had come to Holland with her. (and two litters are a bit busy)

    We're so proud of our Chafuko..
    We sure have to be carefull with the litter... or we'll end up with another B... hahaha

    Buana - have you considered collecting Chafuko and using the chilled semen AI? That way neither dog would have to undergo the stress of travel.

    We are required to do rabies here in the states.
    What are your rules?

    Rabies is not required here in the Netherlands, only if you are planning to travel to another country. For Sweden and Norway you need to get the rabies shot very early and after 4 months you need a bloodtest. Dogs are only allowed to enter the country when the titer is high enough. Something similar for the UK, but then one month between shot and bloodtest.

    The b/w are certainly interesting and look really cute - I know Jon saw them on a previous trip but they were very elusive. He told us that when he came to give a talk at our club show. You're very lucky as many of you'll, I assume, have the opportunity to see them 'in the flesh' in the future. I hope we'll see a lot more pictures.

    @KiroGurl: how much would a red boy cost from most breeders? whATS THE AVERAGE? In the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic, I'd say a safe estimate is around $1000 - $1200 for a puppy from a responsible, reputable breeder. Personally, I haven't found there to be a lot of variables with pricing when you go to a responsible breeder. Off hand, the only real difference in pricing I've seen seems to be that it does vary by region of the US - kind of like everything :D. If a breeder is pricing by colour, male vs. female, or AKC registered/not, I'd immediately look for another breeder - personally I would consider those red flags and RUN. There may be breeders that charge differently for pet vs. show, but there are plenty that don't - none that I've encountered do. A good place to start to find a responsible breeder is always the BCOA breeders directory at basenji.org. And don't forget to verify health tests on offa.org

    Itzyu, that's great information. I like the house analogy. I don't think TwinPeaks or Northern Gurl are the breeder. I do take them at face value as having purchased (or about to purchase) dogs from the breeder, and loving their dogs very much. We've seen this before a couple times, where owners get defensive about their breeder perhaps because it can take a long time to find just the one and we feel some investment in our decisions. Yet, it does sadden me to see such incredible defensiveness around the practice of not testing – this should not be condoned. To this day, anyone can go to the OFA database and note that there is one single Fanconi test listing for this breeder's kenne (and no other tests publicly listed, whether or not she did them)l. That is what everyone is saying is not okay here, for all the reasons outlined by more experienced voices above. If the breeder has a change of heart and starts testing, I for one would be more than happy to commend her for her progressive actions. Better late than never.

    The other option for hips before the age of 2 years is PennHip which does certifications at a younger age than OFA.
