    HI!!!

    Once I figure out how I'll post some pics.

    Yes Pat, we were at the Nationals. I was thrilled with my boy, we got second in our class and Reserve at the No Cal Specialty. You may have seen the skinny little tri…he's looking much better now.

    Unfortunately, he came back as probably affected. His littermate that Stella still has is a carrier. I hope you had better results.

    So Sorry to hear that :( …. I hope that he never develops Fanconi...
    We have been lucky that we have had all clears.... But at least we now know and we don't have to guess with breeding any longer...

    Me and my mom will be there all 3 days also.

    Sorry to hear about your boy's fanconi results. I am lucky and the dam to my Rocket Socks litter is a Clear. Both of the ones I have tested so far are Carriers.

    I hope that he never develops Fanconi…

    from your lips….

    I'm glad both your results were better. I can imagine how wonderful it is for breeders to know they won't be producing any affected litters.

    Lisa...looking forward to seeing you and your mom.

    Yes, my lips to God's Ear…!!!

    And yes it is great to finally have a test... and not be breeding in the dark using "best guess"

    @abonnard Pee pads got me through in the end, she would pee every 20 mins for the first months, then 40 mins, then she suddenly went to being able to hold it for many hours. One of the best purchases I got before she arrived was a small carpet washer, saved my sanity. The cleanup is so key otherwise they go back to the same spot.

    @julia87 How much do you know about Basenjis? Have you met any? It's highly recommended to learn as much as possible about them before making a decision to acquire one. This would be a good place to start.

    @Motala - That is good that you talked to Jan and glad to hear that she had not been spayed. I still think that your Vet and you should connect with Dr. Gonto about your girl's blood work and blood gas results and if he has any thoughts about it.

    @msjames, @tanza did you a solid favor outlining expectations. Networking really is key to finding a "reputable" breeder. Most show their dogs and are connected to other breeders through showing. They all seem to know who is planning a litter and who isn't. I completely agree with Pat that you should meet your breeder in person prior to the puppies even being born. You can learn a lot. Is a Basenji right for you? If you want a dog to hang with you in the driveway with the garage door open as you chat with neighbors, or stand calmly with the front door open as you receive a UPS package... ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! Basenjis will bolt. they'll be gone in a second. They see it. They chase it. And if you think you have them trained... no. They've trained you. When they see it they will chase it. Basenjis, in my experience, need exercise. Mine get two walks a day. When they don't, they can be destructive. They're not shy about expressing frustration or displeasure through chewing up your best stuff. A big secure yard can mitigate this, but that's not a guarantee. They love seeing outside, so keep your blinds and drapes open otherwise they may open them themselves even if that requires chewing through them. They will climb onto windowsills, tables and low counter tops. They are capable of scaling a six-foot fence. They are known to climb trees. These are extreme examples, but better to know now. They are super affectionate. They can be trained... to a point. They are clowns and provide endless entertainment. A Basenji baroo is the best sound ever! They love to snuggle and will sleep on your bed and under the spreads and sheets if you let them. They love to share body heat. Tail twitches when I return home are the best!

    @basenjilovers - She is very cute, please make sure that DNA testing was done for Fanconi and PRA. And if not or you are not sure, you can get the test kits at www.ofa.org. You do the test as it is a cheek swab.
