Love Frenchies and Pugs. You should look up Joseph Mallozzi's blog.... he is a sci fi tv writer/producer/director... but his blog is nearly half about his pugs and frenchie.
Hello Basenji Family
-
Ok thank you one more time for the info Pat
This week I'm talking to my dog's vet to get the tests he is missing
My Wife and I appreciated all the comments,
After reading all, She is considering to Buy a Female to Breed Simba and if We can't found a home for the pups, we will be Responsible for all of them.
We will make sure the bitch has all these tests as well.Thank you and best regards.

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.
