Hi from the UK!

[QuizBasenji]

Are there many Brits here? This is my Basenji, Butu…

[sharronhurlbut]

Welcome, glad you found us.

[Kipawa]

Butu… great name! Welcome to both of you. Kipawa is Swahili for 'gift'. Does 'Butu' mean something?

[Maya]

Hello to you and Butu from the UK.
We have two Basenjis, Malaika 15 months and Kwame 15 weeks.
Who did you get Buju from ?

[QuizBasenji]

Thanks all for the lovely welcome. Butu was the puppy of an accidental breeding by a couple with two Basenjis.

[Benkura]

Please have Butu tested for Fanconi syndrome. It is my understanding that your 'breeder' didn't have any of her own dogs tested.

[QuizBasenji]

I shall do. My vet has never had a Basenji before, so I may have to educate them. Thanks, Victoria.

[thunderbird8588]

your vet won't actualy do the test for Fanconi. You can do it yourself by ordering a cheek swab kit from the ofa site. http://www.offa.org/

Thank you, Shelley!

A very belated welcome from yet another Brit but we have no boundaries on this forum - just belong to the worldwide Basenji lovers. I've been offline for a time hence my lateness!

Do you want to share where in the uK you are? I'm in Shropshire and have several Basenjis - the youngest are 7 and the oldest is 16 and 10 months. Loved ones all!

[QuizBasenji]

Sure! I'm in Cheltenham, Glos.

[Patty]

Not that far away from us then. Another member of the forum lives in that area too.
