@SethS Hi & Welcome Seth! Your new girl is gorgeous!! I just love the red & whites and the brindle & whites! My first girl, Darla was red & white so that color really tugs hard at my heart. My second, Dorie was brindle & white & now, brindles tug pretty hard at my heart too but, I know I can't have the darker brindle....too much like my Dorie. I'm not saying I'd get another red/white just because of the color.....there would have to be more than the color! But your new girl is really gorgeous!! I'm sorry about your other one & I'm sure that you look to see if the gate is closed now. It's sad that we learn a lesson like that but I bet you don't have that accident again! Congrats on your new sweetheart!!
New pup

Oops, I knew that and just forgot the fourth category. For breeding purposes breeders should be treating Indeterminate dogs as Carriers. For pet owners the important information is that an Indeterminate won't become affected.

Tanza, laugh,
I should never try to type when hubby is wanting dinner on the table.
THANK you for the correction. -
Welcome to the forum! What a pretty boy - I especially like the picture of him sitting against the desk.
-
He's from a reliable breeder in Colorado, because unfortunately we didn't find any nearby basenjis in my area.
And thanks for all the comments
From Colorado? What's the name of the breeder? I am from Colorado too!!! BTW, Charlie is very cute!!

Pat, who is Phil?? What is Phil's last name and kennel name??
No kennel name…. email me privately, this is who Michael got his boy from also.

OH NO!! I got it. Thanks Pat! :eek:
Coz I went thru my BCOA roster, no member by the name of Phil in Colorado
listed….. -
The most important thing is that this pup be DNA tested for Fanconi…. he obviously has a loving home.... regardless of were he came from....
-
Yes, she has a two in three chance of having a good report..so fingers crossed she gets a good report.
As things are changing so quickly re b's and health, I would love to see fanconis gone in my lifetime..
What a great thing! -

I totally agree.
As long as it is fanconi clear and have a good temperatment!! -
I totally agree.
As long as it is fanconi clear and have a good temperatment!!Or a Carrier.. as far as Fanconi goes… at least they will never develop Fanconi...
But unless you test, you will not know... it is important regardless of where you got your B from.. And along with others on this Forum... Chiya can tell you it is NO fun having a Fanconi affected Basenji..... period...I too would like to see Fanconi "gone" in my lifetime.. but unless we all work to get the word out and get these PM's and BYB's to test their dogs.. it will never happen.... and Fanconi is just the tip of the iceberg when you talk about health testing... it is important...... and people need to take it serious... In My Humble Opinion....

I would NEVER wish a Fanconi dog on anyone even my worst enemy!!
Living with a fanconi dog is A LOT OF WORK!!The problem with BYB and PM breeders is that they don't care
about health testing before breeding.
So they are increasing the chances of producing more and more
afflicted dogs!
It kills me EVERYDAY to see my Fanconi boy suffering from
the disease. All he does is drinking and peeing…He runs away and hides when he sees me approaching with
pills!! -
I also had a basenji with fanconis who I had hide from me…made life hell for the whole family, not to mention the b'.
The reason I am so happy to support BRAT is that they are trying to get these b's from kennels that are closing.
Can they get them all..no, can they try, you bet..
Each one out of the breeding pool makes the lines stronger, as the breeders are able to breed clear dogs and we educate the public to the good vs bad breeders..IMO. -
Sharon I didn't know we could test for how basenjis can undermine all the house rules - I must have missed that on the OFA site.
(sorry I just couldn't resist.
-
Well, we know there are house rules and then there are b' house rules.
Laugh
