Oh boy! Well, it is good to go with your instincts (and the advice of the great people on this forum ;) ). Good luck with choosing…keep us updated on what you decide!

We have now contacted two breeders from the Czech Republik: Asthenia and Salasirian. They both have a red and white male available for us.
So.. now we have to choose!I looked both them up, the Asthenia basenjis, the litter is sired by a wonderful dog Gooses Burnt Ember, his owner is a member of this forum also. This litter also has a wonderful pedigree.
Salasirian Basenji's has very nice looking dogs, and this litter has a good looking pedigree. What's the Fanconi results to this litter?
Do you have pics of what pups you have to choose from?
It must be a very hard choice, but if it was just me, I'd go with the pup from Asthenia, I like the look of them better and I like the look of the parents also. Good to go with your instincts to ;) it makes me very happy also to see people doing their research, with any breed, but especially with basenjis

Jenson is probably carrier and Fedora is probably clear.
I love the look of Kwame! But Jenson is a very nice dog as well.. he is from a Dutch breeder, the one who told me to go 'beyond borders..'These are the pups:
1: Asthenia

2: Salasirian

At Salasirian I can choose from two pups, but I only like the look of Awangu..

Oh my that us a tough choice….they are both absolutely ADORABLE!!!!
I agree that both are wonderful looking dogs, as well as both mothers, I think what draws me to Abanda & Kwame's pup is the lack of white on the head, I really like that in reds, makes them a little different than the rest ;)
This guy from Jetson and Fedora(?hope I guessed name right?) is way cute to, I love how his little blaze looks like an arrow head

Maybe I have to take them both ;)
I love the two front legs of the first pup and the fact that there is no white on the head. I don't like it when there is too much white.
The second pup.. well.. he's just selling himself on this picture.. -

Ok.. we decided to go for Buburu from Asthenia!
I was wrong about the fanconi test results: Fedora and Jenson are both probably carrier.
But we actually already decided on the looks..
I believe that those who just gave a reaction.. were more charmed by him as well.Now we have to wait untill April…. The pup can leave his mom at the end of February, but we are moving to a new home around that time..

How exciting!!! Now the long wait, oh that must be torture. Thats to bad that Jenson and Fedora are both carriers. I wonder why they did the breeding then? They should have had plenty of time for the tests before the breeding

Well.. I know that Fedora was tested prob. carrier before the breeding. Jenson's testresults came back when the pups were already born.
I'm really excited about the pup!! If I have new photo's, I'll post them!

I can't understand why they didn't test before the mating took place:confused:
Just aswell you did your homework;)

Yup, that's correct. I do feel sorry for the breeder, because I first contacted him in December, when the testresults of Jenson weren't known yet. Now he still hasn't sold one of his pups..
I haven't heard from the other breeder since I told her that we would like to have her pup. (this was on monday)
I hope she contacts me very soon!
