  • @CairoPup:

    Lol, I had a feeling it was a close-knit community and now I'm beginning to see that! I'll have to check with her on the registered names (I'm not sure on the spelling) & I'll get back to you.

    Yes we are…:D and again welcome, can't wait to see pictures. My Franie may be related to your Cario

  • Welcome to the forum, Brian and to your Cairo when he arrives!

  • Welcome the forum Brian,.. All i can say is I,m sure you will enjoy your new puppy Cairo, great name! be patient , I think you'll find that he will more than make up for the frustrations you will undoubtedly go thru raising him!!! It's is very rewarding!!
    especially if you do it right and it sounds like your off to a great start!
    Welcome

  • Welcome! Btw just did a rescue evaluation for a dog named Cairo. I think it's a great name!

  • We go coursing at the 3M park in Ames several times a year. I think we will be up there in April and Oct this year. I know there is one other basenji boy, who lives in Ames, that comes out to course too. You should bring him over to the park to socialize with the other sighthounds at one of the events. I am getting a girl mid feb, they will be close to the same age.

  • Congrats! I just saw some puppy pictures on Facebook. They're really cute!

    That sounds like a great idea - I've been looking for events to attend with him. I will definitely bring him over. I'm new to the area so the socialization wouldn't hurt me either! I had been wondering if there were any other Basenjis in Ames. Congrats on your new puppy, we'll have to keep in touch!

    Welcome Angelilca! I'm the "mommy" of a B girl with Fanconi, also. I really encourage you to join the fanconi yahoo group. It's a GREAT resource! I have learned so much just from reading the posts of people with current issues and the experienced fanconi dog owners' replies. Also, they keep a list on the website of vets that are known to be knowledgable about the disease and are willing to communicate with Dr. Gonto (who wrote the protocol) directly when needed - because not all are. The list is by state and you can find it on the site under "files". http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/fanconidogs/ Good luck with everything and keep us posted! Sadie

    I am a huge "Bryan Gregory Fan" also, LOL He is is very particular about the dogs he will breed. He does great at follow-up once you get your puppy home, too; is always available to give advice, answer questions, etc. {And Lord knows he is patient with first time Basenji owners, very patient, …<grin> I love to watch Jazzy when she sees him at shows. She loves him! I'm hoping he sticks around for a few more years -- have to give me time to convince my husband that "we" want another Basenji after my older mixed breed dog dies. LOL {Poor man, thinks Jazzy is my last dog.} And if I get another one, I'd like it to be a Jumoke pup.</grin>
