@lynnecnm - You should have your pup DNA tested for Fanconi, it is a cheek swab test that you do and cost 65.00. You can order the test at www.ofa.org and welcome to the Forum!

Hi! My name is Scott, I'm an RN and I live in Tennessee. I had done some research on Basenjis a few months ago, but never got around to becoming an owner. One of the parents of some close friends of mine took a Basenji in from a church member who went off to school. They wanted to keep her, but decided not, and when the subject came up about someone taking her, I jumped at the chance. She 2 years old, and the original owner named her Faith (which I'm not crazy about), but I'm thinking of renaming her Isis. I hope to learn more about care for her in this forum. Thanks all!

Welcome to our community!

what a sweet face. i think you'll find this forum a wealth of knowledge

She definitely looks like an Isis in my view, very much a goddess. She looks like she has big ears and her eyes are beautiful. Enjoy learning about the Basenji, I have found lot's of info on this forum and very helpful people.

Definitely a very regal looking little girl! Enjoy her!

Isis, definitely!
Beautiful girl, glad she found you. -
Welcome… she is very cute. Has she been DNA tested for Fanconi yet? Or were her sire and dam?
-
What a sweet face! Thank you for taking her in, she needs a forever home.
As Pat indicated, unless you have info on the parents being clear, or at least one clear, she should be tested for Fanconi asap.
