We are not doing this for money we just want to honor and extraordinary dog and friend by having one of his sons.
May sound stupid for some of you but we think, dogs like humans have a soul and they can influence people in a good way; the soul and personality of this dog really moves our lives. he is very special.One more time we respect all opinions and understand the problem with the genetics. we promes to have done the test he is missing before breeding.
There is the pedigree
HIS FULL NANE IS SIMBA DE LEALTRUSS LOC. 47937
His Father is YULARA DE AZENDA LOC. 44914/ RXI= RXD=
His Mother is UGANDA EN-SWAHILI LOC. 42826/ RXI= A -

Most likely because he comes from Columbia. It would be good to have the complete pedigree and it would be great if you sent it to Sally Wallis at sally.wallis@btopenworld.com

But breeding a litter usually produces more than 1 puppy. It means producing 4-6 puppies just so you can get 1 and there may be no boys so if you have your heart set on a son, you may not get that so then what?
You will have been responsible for bringing these lives into this world and should then be responsible for them until they leave this world. IMO, stud dog owners are responsible for the pups their males produce. Are you willing to step up and take care of the pups if the dam's owner cannot or will not? Finding committed life long homes is no easy task and with the economy as it is, it has been particularly hard for breeders to find good homes.
There are many factors to consider before breeding a litter.

Hello Simba's person. I can tell you love Simba very much, and he is a very beautiful dog. But again, it is hard to know for sure about his genetic soundness, temperament, etc. just from pictures alone, which is why everyone here is going to ask you for his health tests and pedigree. The basenji breeders who speak up on this forum have done a lot to try to improve the overall breed, inside and out, and it is always devastating to hear of haphazard breeding that sets back the efforts of those who are trying to do right by the breed.
I don't know if we can change your mind about breeding your dog here, or at least convince you to do it in a responsible and ethical manner. Please be aware that anyone with a bitch that would be willing to breed to your Simba, at this point, is not someone who has the best interests of the breed in mind. They might see your dog and agree that he is beautiful, but because he has no record of health testing, everybody is taking a risk with the health of the puppies. You might not be doing it for money, but the OTHER person might. Please don't do something that you will regret in the long run, or create misery for a dog that you helped bring into this world.

You Vet doesn't do Fanconi DNA. You order the cheek swab and do the test yourself. Order from http://www.offa.org/dnatesting/fanconi.html

Oops…Pat posted at the same time with the same information! :rolleyes:
Your vet cannot do the Fanconi DNA test...that is a kit that you must order and send back. Go go http://www.offa.org/dnatesting/fanconi.html for complete information and to order the kit.
I'm not sure what's involved in the other tests, so I don't know if the vet can do those, either…more experienced people on this site can give you more information on how to properly proceed in getting them done.

This is a test worth every penny they charge. I will look forward to hearing your lovely boy shows clear.

Vets do all the others. The tests are sent off for results for hips (to OFA), lab for Thyroid, your local Vet can do Patellas. Eyes are done by a specialist, ask your regular Vet for a referral.
Forms are at www.offa.org for Hips/patellas and Thyroid

www.cretepolishing.comCarlos,
Your Vet can't do the DNA test for Fanconi. You must order the DNA cheek swab from OFA at the link I gave you and make payment. Then when you get it, you just swab his cheek and send it back to OFA in the supplied envelope. -
Welcome to you and Simba. You've been given very good advice from the previous posters and I'm pleased that you're willing to take the advice.
I have bred many beautiful and handsome Basenjis but quite a lot of them have never been bred, I like your philosophy about dogs' souls but it's important to remember to do the very best we can for those souls.
-
Its very easy to order the fanconi test on line. I am looking forward to hearing about your results.

We appreciated the information.
