  • is Progressive Retinal Atrophy will be transmitted to the puppies too?

  • @anukotor:

    is Progressive Retinal Atrophy will be transmitted to the puppies too?

    If PRA is the reason for the female's blindness then yes, the puppies will inherit the genes. If the sire also carries PRA then the whole litter is at risk of eventually becoming blind.

  • I just don't have the word to tell you what I think. Sigh!

  • Are there buyers for the puppies? Are the dam and sire fanconi tested? Sigh.

  • Rarely have I seen such utter total irresponsible behavior all but bragged about. Get the bitch into the vet, SPAY HER THIS WEEK, problem solved.

  • EW I agree spay now, no need for those puppies to happen
    '

  • …I am shocked..is this supposed to be a funny thing?? Take repsonsibility NOW !!

  • I can only think that this is a $$$ making deal for everyone.
    That poor bitch. Oh, my how many litters has she had???

  • The Nerve!!! WHY brag about something THAT irresponsible??? Get her spayed NOW! Irresponsible back yard breeders MAKE ME SICK! No need for her to have puppies…and im sure you'll only sell them for a fast buck and then the poor things will possibly become blind since it will be in their genes. I have MUCH more to say but I will not....Ill keep my mouth shut.

  • Maybe we can educate him? I hope so. I feel so darn bad for the dogs and puppies coming. Sigh.

  • @sharronhurlbut:

    Maybe we can educate him? I hope so. I feel so darn bad for the dogs and puppies coming. Sigh.

    I agree…maybe we can do something to teach him

  • i will not sell for $$$

  • You shouldnt let them be born at all! They will be inheriting a BUNCH of health issues! If you cared about them you'd have her spayed TOMORROW and not allow them to be born into a world of possible ILLNESS. Anyone you sell a pup to will have a dog who could potentially have LOTS of health problems. Do you want that to happen?

  • i only want to have 1 puppie, then i promise after i have that, i will spay them all

  • Poor dogs! Im outraged at you Anukotor! Allowing dogs with potentially bad health problems to be born!!!!!!!!!!! Why not RESCUE a puppy or young dog?! Why IRRESPONSIBLY BREED 2 Ill dogs?!

  • Obviously you dont care about your dogs or the unborn puppies…because if you did you wouldnt want SICK dogs to be born! You're selfish and only care about what you want! Not about the dogs.

  • why do you want to have puppies when we are all telling the puppies you are trying to have will be riddled with poor health and genetics? Why would you even think to do it knowing these puppies will suffer? Do you understand what you are doing is cruel? ….all because you are determined to have a puppy. Its unbelievable how unintelligent you sound
    if you want another puppy then buy one, dont try to breed a dog that you CLEARLY have no experience or common sense to do so

  • Well said Chealsie! This guy is SELFISH!

  • Sorry, but this is not something that any of us can celebrate, congratulate, or be impressed by.

    You say you just want one puppy, but what if you don't even have one healthy puppy you can pick from? Are you still going to be committed to that 1 puppy and the puppy's parents for life? And the rest of the puppies?

    This is a very bad choice. I would even call it downright stupid. But it can be fixed. Please do as Debra and Lisa recommended, and get her spayed immediately. It will save you a lot of trouble and possible heartache in the future.

  • last night i talked to the vet and she said it's okay to have puppies from them but not to sell the puppies to eliminate PRA spread, and she will doing routine test later.
    also both sire and dam are passed fancony syndrom test
    it's hard to find basenji here, people doesn't like to pet basenji as they said that basenji is hard to train. but we really love their nature and temperament.
    if i adopt other young basenji, i think there is no guarantee the basenji are pass healthy test.

    @xjole said in Does my Stella have some Basenji in her?: She has the wrinkled brow, upright erect ears, white markings on feet, chest, and tip of curled tail. Her preferred way of communicating is a song-like low howl, although she can bark. She hates getting wet and her prey drive is HIIIGH. She is very reserved and cautious, although that might be due to her stray status before I adopted her. Others have commented that she looks like she has some Corgi or Shiba Inu in her, and while I do see it, I see more of the Basenji temperament in her. I've asked her vet about the DNA testing, but I've been told that it is very unreliable, so I thought I'd ask other Basenji owners what they thought! The Wisdom Panel DNA tests have been getting better every year, so it's not as much of a gamble as it used to be. That said, the test does best with a purebred, then with a two-breed dog (like a "labradoodle" or whatever), and worst with a total mutt. If your girl is indeed a mix of two purebred dogs, it might be worth a shot. Check your pet store or Amazon for the test; the one that vets give is the most expensive anyway and is only worth it if you want to know about hereditary health issues, too.

    No idea, sometimes with mixes it's so hard to tell what the parentage is. I do think that your dog's head is a bit more refined than many of the pit mixes i've seen.
  • Not a basenji, but…

    After striking out with my first 2 B's I figured I'd give my other love a try! She is wonderful so far, potty training is kicking our butt..as with any puppy. We have only had her a week yesterday so I'm sure this is gonna be fun! She is giving us (my gf and I, our 3 cats and Sid) a run for our money! Sid is very jealous though, which is what we wanted. We need him to desire attention instead of just laying around all day long. Wish us luckkkk with the ol' man.
