    My youngest Basenji, Bailey, doesn't have dew claws. Why is this done?

    Why is what done? Removing dew claws? Most breeders remove dew claws in the US.. if you seach the forum there are a number of threads that address reasons that it has been done for years in the US

    Good. Don't be discouraged if you get a recorded message…someone will get back to you. Be persistent!! Good luck. Keep us posted, please.

    I didn't meet either of my Basenjis before adopting them from www.petfinder.com. Both my girls were hours away from GA; until I picked them up did I know what I was getting. My gut feeling was "that dog needs to live here." (Although, I think that about every abandoned or homeless dog!! :rolleyes:) My girls came with lots of baggage, but in a short time things started to work out well. We are still working on little issues, but nothing serious.

    Lastnight, I was watching my five dogs playing together in the backyard, and it filled my heart with joy seeing them so happy with each other and their home. My dogs all have unpleasant backgrounds of neglect, abandonment, or horrible abuse.

    I called them today and left a detailed message. Hopefully they'll call me back tomorrow.

    I'd have to meet him before I adopt him, unfortunately. I have to make sure it's the best match for Shango….

    Maybe we should all check on the dog and have them contact you. Then they'd have to get back to you quick, or get annoyed by all the B lovers.

    Awww. Such a cute little girl. I think that we would be a good foster for a dog like her, or one of the FL dogs. We have experience working with pathologically shy dogs. We have an already established relationship with a great local trainer, and with a veterinary behaviorist. We have 3 dogs here to help with the socialization. But we have 3 dogs, and a fourth coming within the year. I'm afraid my heart is bigger than what we can really handle. I'm also afraid because there is no guarantee she will be adopted. If I knew it was short-term, and she could go to another place after a few months of work, I would be much more inclined to jump at the chance to foster. But, with the cats we foster, one has been here a year (tomorrow will be a year actually), and another we finally gave in and adopted after 2 years of swearing we wouldn't. The "normal" cats get adopted quickly (we have had about 10 go through our house, with the longest staying 6 mos.), but the behavior cases that need socialization and desensitization/counter conditioning work tend to stay. We have only had 2 foster dogs, and they were great and found great homes, but we are running out of friends to convince to adopt dogs. :) -Nicole

    @Quercus: I wasn't actually referring to dogs that are affected, but indentified as carriers. I was remember a discussion that occurred very early on in the testing, that some carriers may have some 'bleed thru' of the 'guilty' gene, and spill sugar very late in life. And Dr. Johnson wasn't sure if it was due to regular old age kidney changes, or some sort of genetic explanation. It is very possible that that is very old information, and no longer accurate…but it wasn't the case of inaccurate testing at all. Good information about testing carriers monthly, though. I didn't realize that, and I haven't been doing it...guess I need to start again.. I have never heard of anyone talking about "bleed thru" or what that is supposed to me. A dog cannot spill sugar [as in fanconi] without having two mutant genes. Which would then mean that the dog is affected. And to make sure it is understood, the two girls that were actually affected did NOT have inaccurate testing. Nothing happened at the lab or at home. The dogs DNA actually shows that they are carriers. Remember this is the linkage test, and not a direct test. With the recent equipment purchase and plan of some more testing, they wre able to narrow the 'possble' genes down to 1/3 of what they were planning to look at…so hopefully more info is forthcoming soon. It is good to know this girl will be getting a great home! Good luck with her!

    When we got Eddie, Topper and he bonded very closely. Ed is his "wingman", and defends Topper when necessary. Two boys (neutered) will likely get along better than 2 girls! We know other people with 2 boys who really get along wonderfully.
