@jalex Well, Welcome back home to NJ. I got some nice doggy coats from an online store Dover. Made just like a horse blanket so they don't slip to the side when the dog is doing a B500 run. There is a Dover store in Del Hockessin that lets you take your pup in for try on if you are not into measuring. I got a nice rain coat and a good heavy winter blankie for my girl. Regular doggy stores have lots of cute sweaters. Not sure about the boots. Lost my Basenji girl a year ago so never had a chance to try the boots. I think a fellow made them for his dogs. Will try to get the link and see how he goes about it. If I find out I will pass it along.
New pup

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.
