    @senjisilly just now saw your reply. Thanks for the pedigree website. I knew about it and it’s a great resource.

    @tanza I don't believe there was a limit to the number of letters, though I wasn't paying much attention to whether the field stopped me from continuing. Tanza is nice! I was actually surprised no one has claimed the name :D

    @zande - So true Zande, the test is 65.00 and considering the heartbreak and cost of caring for a Fanconi Basenji (try shoving down 20+ pills a day) it is something that anyone breeding, even Back Yard Breeders or Puppymills should always do... Also if someone happens to get a puppy or is unsure about the breeder they did get a Basenji puppy from, spend the 65.00 and have the DNA Fanconi test done... again it is a cheek swab that you order from OFA.org

    @lindenbaum I've long forgotten about this thread. If I am remembering correctly, I left it up so that people could read the flags that it may be a puppy mill and be able to make their own decision regarding that. I am deliberately wording that as "... may be... " because I do not have any personal interaction with "HH" and therefore cannot speak to it. (please note that I removed your "HH available breeds" list, no offense)

    Keoki used to FREAK OUT at nail trimming time, so I had to use cookies to teach him that the Dremel is his friend. He's still not convinced it's his friend, but he does remain reasonably still. Not like Jazz who just lays over back wards and lets me do whatever, but getting there.

    She just might be having a very heavy shed (blowing coat) which will happen usually after being spayed.. and it can be up to 1 1/2 yrs later…. If you are close to her breeder, take her up that and have her show you how to groom her up.. it is really not hard at all....
