Cara (BRAT) and Arwen (breeder) results

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • Trying to give myself the same pep talk I would anyone. It really isn't that bad, just would have loved probable CLEAR for more ease of mind. But heck, even clear, you keep testing so not really a big deal, right? Sigh.

    As some may recall, the puppymiller responsible for the Wimauma pack has been a thorn for a decade. The good side of that was that until this year, not one dog from him had been reported to have Fanconi. Then a relatively young one (about 3 yrs old) was dx recently. The pep talk side is, for crying out loud, did anyone REALLY think none of the dogs were carriers and that it would never occur?

    So by now you guessed… Cara is probable carrier. And Arwen is probable clear.

    Feel free to share the results on any list. Relatives of Arwen should know. Since the breeder never sent her reg papers she is in data base, they won't find her with regular AKC and OFA checking.

  • Yes, it could be worse, so Carrier is better then Affected….. and you are right, it is really NOT that bad!

    In regards to Arwen, even if her papers were not sent in, you listed her (what would be registered name/sire/dam) for the data base, right? So the only thing that is missing is the AKC number. Honestly, most time I seach by the name or part of the name.

    @lukris: That's good news about Chance Vicky. At least you know you have to find a nice clear boy for Nakura now. You must be relieved. Chance is Nakura's son so can't use him! The search continues. We need to encourage more people to test are there are only about 6 clear stud dogs in UK at moment. So not much too choose from there!!
  • Results are in !!!

    @etzbseder: Well, I got the results back yesterday, and they say that Medjai is "PROBABLY AFFECTED WITH FANCONI SYNDROME". So, now I get about one more year of little worry before I start strip testing and waiting for the inevitable. Hang in there. It is a tough road ahead. neither you nor your dog will understand the changes that can happen so suddenly… but know that it is not with malicious intent that they pee and pee and pee. There are so many supporting groups and people out there to help you and your B thru this. You can have a good life even with this sentence hanging over you. Best of luck. Enjoy your B as they are today... don't worry about tomorrow. I'll keep you and your Medjai in my thoughts.
