@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.
Erby-de crabre mate!

Did not get Kota, she went to a family in Indiana. I will keep looking,but I feel that BRAT will come thru with the right Sinji. Thanx for helping me .TIM and REBECCA PRODAN. Will keep posted on progress.
-
Welcome to the forum (a bit late with my welcomes) - even though you've had basenjis before you'll still find lots of great tips here. I know I did.
Also sorry for the loss of your previous beastie. -
Thanx Wiz. I am exited with the possibility of another sinji.

Guys and Gals just wanted everyone to know I am in the process of rescuing a B by the name of Baloo. I have spoken to his rehab family and am in the process of getting him on the Basenji RailRoad system. He is far away and his fosters are helping me by co-ording a relay of volenteers to get him to us. We are exited about Baloo he is fetured on the BRAT website rite now.He is a awsome looking brindle.I am greatful to Sharron for directing me to BRAT. Thanx Sharron. Tim and Rebecca Prodan

That's great… please consider doing the DNA Fanconi Test when you get him, BRAT only does the strip testing, not the DNA Fanconi Test
-
Pat is that done through the vet? and how much of a problem is it?
-
I remember our first vet touching on the issue,but at the time I did not pay to much attetion to it.

It is a genetic problem in our breed… one that now with DNA testing can be stopped in the future, provided that breeders use the test... However, since this particular B is coming from a puppymill rescuse situation, you can be certain that no testing has been done.
See my new post about cheek swabs being available for DNA Fanconi testing... will be much easier.
Also, anyone with Basenjis should make themselves familiar with our Breeds health concerns. Please visit www.basenjihealth.org
Also visit that site for information on the Fanconi test, CPP sign up, etc…

Thanx for the link Tanza I will have Baloo tested when we get him here in Michigan.
-
When do you expect Baloo to get to you? I am so excited for you! I bet you cannot wait to meet him!

Great… and I am sure that he will have a most "wonderful" forever home... especially coming from a puppy mill!!! Great for him, great for you!
-
We are exited about Baloo,He looks great and we have waited 2 years to bring another pet into our home. I have my home visit this Saturday a gal by the name of Carrol is visiting on behalf of BRAT.The gal that is fostering Baloo said she woud help us get him close to our house using the rail-road system.Baloo is gonna a be a lucky pup, He will have his forever home and we will have the coolest pup on the block!
-
I am not sure but I believe in a coupl of weeks tops.
-
I was so glad to see this - I had thought about you a few times when I was browsing the BRAT site or Petfinder. (Yes, I am hooked on rescue basenjis, though we don't have room for any more than our two.) Baloo looks like a lovely boy and it's wonderful that you found each other.
Even though you're basenji savvy, I would highly recommend the stickies here on the forum about bringing a new rescue home. Sharron's tips were invaluable to us with our second B, and came in helpful even
months after our first girl found us.Enjoy Baloo, and be sure to post pix and stories!:D
-
Thanx for the tip. I am shure gonna read everything I can. It has been a while since I had a B and a refresher is a great ideal.The Gals came for a visit this last saturday and all went well just waiting to here from Balouski's foster moma. The gal that visited me is not a Basenji owner she has Borizi's she brought her huge male with her.He was a cool looking dog and was real friendly,she done this service at no charge.I am meeting some good people on top of getting Baloo.Cant wait to here when Baloo is coming home to me and my family!I am buying the chew toys and everything else he needs this week.
-
Mitt, you've been screened, then? Want a brother for Baloo? If we could figure out transport. Either of these sounds like a bit of a handful at first, but you sound like you're up for a challenge…

I would love to have a pack o pups but I only have room for Baloo.I sure hope the people that broke the pups leg gets punnished.I dont understand that type of behavior!
-
I hear you - probably not a great idea to try to transport either of these guys that far anyway, in case a placement doesn't work. I'm just grasping at homes for them.
Can't wait to hear that Baloo made it home, and see pix!
-
Just a quick note to let everyone know that Balloo is starting the proccess to come to his forever home! We are all excited and cant wait.I will be putting out the monster basted cow leg bones, kong and knylabones. He will have his own spot for feedings and WILL have a run of the house and WILL sleep on my bed by my wife and I.Thanx to all the folks here and at BRAT for this success story.Tim and Rebecca Prodan.P.S. will post pics here to show off!!!!!!

Another Baloo update,Baloo is being flown in from D.C this friday .We are stoked! So we will be posting pics shortly.This is a Shinning example of people comming together to make a "B" happy and wanted.B.R.A.T has to be commended for thier efforts .Volenteers to board members have put in lots of hours to make sure Baloo was headed to his "FOREVER HOME". Barb McShea gets a special thanks for her diligence and persurverance over Baloo's placement.Thanx also goes to Sharron Hurlbut for getting me invoved with BRAT.I am going to be the Basenji guy here in northern Michigan.When a familiy needs a home visit for a Basenji adoption thru BRAT My wife and I will do the visit on behalf of BRAT. We are exited and are headed out to get all the comforts Baloo needs to make a smooth transistion. Thank you Everyone.TIM and Rebecca Prodan
