Does Anyone Know These Lompoc Bs??

Basenji Rescue
  • Karen of Basenji Rescue of So Cal asked me to post the following info. If you have any info or are interested in adopting them you can send me a private message here at the forum or contact Karen:

    We are trying to locate anyone who knows anything about two older lady basenjis whose owner died in Lompoc area last month. The poor basenjis had been put into their crates when she died and could have been crated for even up to a week. If anyone knows who these came from or anything about them, the shelter people would appreciate knowing. Also may be needing some wonderful person to offer them a home.

    Duke won't be staying in his foster home, so now I'm working on a plan to get him to me.

    @Quercus: I wasn't actually referring to dogs that are affected, but indentified as carriers. I was remember a discussion that occurred very early on in the testing, that some carriers may have some 'bleed thru' of the 'guilty' gene, and spill sugar very late in life. And Dr. Johnson wasn't sure if it was due to regular old age kidney changes, or some sort of genetic explanation. It is very possible that that is very old information, and no longer accurate…but it wasn't the case of inaccurate testing at all. Good information about testing carriers monthly, though. I didn't realize that, and I haven't been doing it...guess I need to start again.. I have never heard of anyone talking about "bleed thru" or what that is supposed to me. A dog cannot spill sugar [as in fanconi] without having two mutant genes. Which would then mean that the dog is affected. And to make sure it is understood, the two girls that were actually affected did NOT have inaccurate testing. Nothing happened at the lab or at home. The dogs DNA actually shows that they are carriers. Remember this is the linkage test, and not a direct test. With the recent equipment purchase and plan of some more testing, they wre able to narrow the 'possble' genes down to 1/3 of what they were planning to look at…so hopefully more info is forthcoming soon. It is good to know this girl will be getting a great home! Good luck with her!

    @etzbseder: Maybe we should all check on the dog and have them contact you. Then they'd have to get back to you quick, or get annoyed by all the B lovers. I LOVE that idea! HA!
