Great news!!!!!!

We have just received information that Cheek Swabs will be available for DNA Fanconi Testing. The Cheek Swab Kits will be available (soon) at www.offa.org for $5.00 each (Fanconi test will still cost 60.00 and be sent to U of Mo). Prior this cheek swab was only available for some re-testing that was being done.

So NOW it is even going to be easier for Fanconi testing… there is NO excuse that every single Basenji owner doesn't get their Basenjis tested. And there will certainly be NO excuse that a breeder doesn't have a sire/dam tested BEFORE breeding.

Please note however that blood samples are still being requested, because the Cheek Swab doesn't give enough DNA for future genetic testing.

I am sure that the information at www.basenjihealth.org will be updated soon about the Cheek Swab Test, but wanted to give everyone here a heads up.

No, I meant it takes about a week to get the test and usually 2 to 3 weeks for the results once they are received back at the lab.

Please read my post about breeding on the other thread

I am hopeful this will be a test every basenji owner does.
It gives you information so, if needed, you can be prepared.
Knowledge is power and keeping our dogs with us as long as we can is the thing we should all strive for.
I am so happy to live in this time.
Who knows, maybe in the next 10 yrs, fanconis will be like rickets…we just don't see them.

It is coming back through your e-mail, as long as you are the one who registered your dog with the CPP site.

For me the blood left europe june 23rd and I was surprised I got the results so soon, when I open my e-mails I thought the CPP was just telling me they got the blood in, then I think I almost fell out of my chair as the 1st result I saw was an affected, in the process I missed one and was two frightned to open the last one, the clear one was the last one, gave me a bit of rest to go back and notice that probably carrier was not a bad result.

The thing is I didn't expected Thorn to be an affected, Eos I was a bit worried as well as for her and Thorns kids, Timbo and Vahli, a few people are saying her father died of fanconi.

But I don't feel I am alone in this and I am sure of something, it is the last time I will ever get worried about getting a probably affected puppy, thanks to the test and people who made it happen.

@YodelDogs:

Was this litter bred before or after the DNA test was made available?

Before. Pups from that litter are now adult dogs.
