Fanconi Question

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • E

    I want to know if there is any difference in getting a puppy that is a carrier and one that is clear. I do not plan on doing any breeding. I just want a great family pet. This is all new to me and I just want to make sure I make the right decision :confused:

    My understanding is… if you are just looking for a family pet it doesn't matter.
    If your dog is a carrier, they won't {shouldn't ?}GET Fanconi, but may pass it on if bred.
    If they're clear, then they won't {shouldn't?} get it OR pass it on if bred.

    So, either way you're okay. You will want to avoid, if possible, getting one that tested "affected" or "possibly affected".

    Good Luck!

    That is correct. Only dogs that test as "probably affected" should develop Fanconi. All other dogs should not develop the disease; at least as far as we understand the test so far. And so far the results have all jived with the actual status of the dog…(ie dogs that were already known to have Fanconi have tested affected, and their offspring have tested in the manner predicted by a simple recessive inheritance pattern)

    Clear or Carrier should never develop Fanconi… so either is OK especially for a pet... And so far the test has proved right on with over 875 now in the database...

    Not Robin, however if over all he is a good, well put together, good temperment dog, with light pigment, I would used the dog provided that you have a bitch that compliments him. Of course would be great to see stacked pictures of him.

    @Basenjimamma: Ok, I got it. So basically the only way (as far as we know with the test available today) to get affecteds is if the "breeder" either don't test prior to breeding or breed affecteds and carriers together, and not using a clear in the mix. Right, Affecteds and Carriers and IND (between a Clear and a Carrier, so should be considered a Carrier) should only be bred to Clears, period With the very, very few inconsistant results excluded, looking at the test results, what we are seeing is what we would expect to see, especially in looking at tested sires and dams and then their offspring.

    @basi: This is what I liked about the German system and many other countries in europe, being that all dogs have to be tested before they can be bred from. @tanza: Is the DNA Fanconi test reconized as a required test in those countries in Europe that require pre-testing? And it is really no different here… most have or are testing, but there are still people that do not and still have their heads in the sand about testing... I wish that all testing was public knowledge like the Fanconi test.... like hips, eyes, etc... Following more in depth from Basi, she is also meaning that in Germany breeders will recieve VERY hefty fines for breeding without the proper testing and permissions from the breed club. They can have their kennel license (of sorts) revoked, be denied from entering shows and registering dogs of their breeding or from other breeders). A dog has to be of a certain age, and received a set amount of show awards before it can be entered into the breeding permissions exam. Then a actual show judge and member of the breed club evaluate the dogs to be entered into the stud books.

    Puppies usually "blow" their baby coat after teething and the color fo the coat will change at time…. So yes their coats to change, but not a lot... just like some pedigrees have black masking aroung the face (muzzle and eyes) that will fade with age. Also on Basenjis, the white never changes size... so a big white spot will be much smaller when full grown. Looking at the picture of your Kona, I would say that the white between his eyes was almost the entire area between the eyes when born
