    HOORAY for the people who found your baby!!!

    Thanks Elena :) Although, Stitch is not mine :) He belongs to my good friend Dr. Tracy Leonard of Select Basenjis. I don't want to take credit where it isn't due :)

    Thank goodness…. thanks for letting us know Andrea... Stitch is a very handsome boy... but of course I am prejudice... since I loved his daddy... who left for the Rainbow bridge way too early due to Fanconi. Stitch as Andrea said is a Carrier, so still has lots of offer the breed, bred to Clears!

    Hi Pat,

    Can you explain what "carrier" means to those of us who are not familiar with it and what are the implications and what we need to watch out/look for or do/don't do if we have B's that are "carriers"?

    Thx…

    For Sure… with the Fanconi Test Basenjis can be Clear of the Fanconi gene, Carrier of the Fanconi gene or Affected with the Fanconi gene. In breeding you would always want to only breed a Carrier to a Clear, in doing that you would only produce Clears or Carriers, but never and affected. If you go to www.basenjihealth.org there is a chart and here is another link to a chart showing what you would get breeding clears, carriers, and affected.

    As far as anyone with Carriers, your Basenji will not ever develop Fanconi, it just means they are carriers of the gene and if bred to another carrier or affected, they then could produce offspring that would be affected. Same with Clears, if your Basenji comes back as affected, you need to be very, very diligent with monthly strip testing and there has also been thoughts of doing blood gases to see if any changes to the blood values. This could be helpful in treatment of a Fanconi dog, as the biggest thing is to catch it early for the best chance that treatment will be effective.

    And since our gene pool is small, it is never a good thing to throw out the baby with the bath water, as the saying goes. There are ways to preserve the gene pool and not lose many of the bloodlines that have Carriers and/or Affected.

    Ahhh, now I know a little more… Thx!

    I'm so glad Stitch was found!!! :)
    It seems putting out those flyers as soon as possible really helped... It almost makes me think to prepare (such flyers) now, along with my emergency contact sheet, just in case my B gets lost then I won't have to worry what to put on the flyer, then just print the flyers and post them immediately, and start contacting the shelters and such...

    In your position, where you really have to take her out a lot, I understand. And I hope her comfort continues. My point was it is situational need, not dog need to be that social. :) I have a slim chance of that having worked with my current 2, but with my incredibly dog aggressive first one, I'd have been out in a basket muzzle and warning everyone to keep their dogs away.

    If the dogs are having similar symptoms as in the previous years, they need to be treated ASAP! It is my understanding that many are developing the acquired Fanconi Syndrome and need to be put on the protocol. Many vets though do not have the equipment to do the venous blood gas test and get an accurate diagnosis. Emergency vets should have the equipment. Do not buy any dog treats that come from China and if the package does not state where it is from then do not buy it! Jennifer

    I have had a couple stained glass made, but there is normally a 3-4 month lead time as the artists are already booked up for Xmas this yr. Most of the artists on etsy will be booked this late in the yr, I had two quilts and a needle felt made a couple yrs ago and I placed my order in June in order to guarantee Xmas delivery. If you have a nice photo, there is a company called treasure knits that does wonderful woven afghans out of a photo with about a one week turn around. I have had both afghans and pillows made from photos as xmas gifts from them and they do great work.

    Jaycee digs same way but she does somersaults head down over she gos first time neighbor saw it they could not beleive it. I think neighbor came over every day for a week waiting to see it again and Jaycee would do it. Yes I very much second that digging usually will cause the great B-500. Rita Jean

    Hollie will hide her treats and her dog food. Her favorite hiding place is under MY pillow in the bed. She has tried to hide her entire food bowl by pushing one of her plush toys with her nose in an attempt to get the toy on top of her food bowl. Why doesn't she just use her mouth to pick it up and place it on the bowl? Silly dog!

    Yes I agree Pat, Fort Funston could get very crowded and dangerous for smaller dogs as packs of bigger dogs playing could cause injury. My 2 Basenjis were very good and stayed pretty close to me and got used to the crowds. The only problem I had there was with this lady who had an older Tri color female Basenji. It would bite my blk/wht, Nika who was 1-1/2 on the butt. A few times of that and I stayed way away from her. The problem is Nika was a very playful girl and never did anything like that. A few times of getting nipped on the butt started her doing it to other dogs and Basenjis. A Basenji would want to play and Nika would chase and give a nip and the the other dog would get mad and a fight would occur. Nobody would ever get hurt thankfully. It was rare that it would happen as I took them there for 9 years, mostly on the weekend without problem. We had a lot of fun and people loved the Basenjis! Ringo, the red/wht was a very entertaining clown when we'd go down to the beach.
