Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • Lots of good info in this post, for folks who didn't read it the first time.

  • @Basenjinewbee:

    My little girl is from Benita. she is in Sparta, TN. I'm recently concerned with Kili having Fanconi and I was looking for info on her parents to see if they had tested yet. Doing a google search I came across this VERY old post. Figured I'd reply anyways.

    I tested my b for fanconi and he was negative. I also had ofa and Penn hip done on him but he was in the 40%. So I neutered him. She is not a reputable breeder. Way back in her lines there are some good dogs but she breed some bad lines in. It's always good to check for fanconi early detection is important. On a sad note my Colby was hit by a car and killed last September when a visitor let him out.

  • Oh, I am sorry about the loss of your b to cars. Sadly, when they get out, the are often not car smart.
    Hugs.

    I know you can't know if she was weaned too early, but I have seen other dogs "comfort suckle" their toes or the ear tips of another dog. Does she make nursing motions with her mouth and tongue when falling asleep? We had an orphan calf (years ago) that would seek out the first 2 fingers on any available hand to calm/comfort himself. He did this well into adult hood.

    @agilebasenji: I have a friend who has a nonbasenji dog that was just diagnosed with Fanconi. They (owner and vet) started the dog on the Gonto's protocal. (yea!) I know there is a Fanconi list, but did not know if it was open to just Fanconi affected basenjis or if other breeds were welcome. Also, is it a yahoo group? thanks It is a yahoo group and it is open to anyone with a Fanconi affected dog, or so I have been told.

    @basi: This is what I liked about the German system and many other countries in europe, being that all dogs have to be tested before they can be bred from. @tanza: Is the DNA Fanconi test reconized as a required test in those countries in Europe that require pre-testing? And it is really no different here… most have or are testing, but there are still people that do not and still have their heads in the sand about testing... I wish that all testing was public knowledge like the Fanconi test.... like hips, eyes, etc... Following more in depth from Basi, she is also meaning that in Germany breeders will recieve VERY hefty fines for breeding without the proper testing and permissions from the breed club. They can have their kennel license (of sorts) revoked, be denied from entering shows and registering dogs of their breeding or from other breeders). A dog has to be of a certain age, and received a set amount of show awards before it can be entered into the breeding permissions exam. Then a actual show judge and member of the breed club evaluate the dogs to be entered into the stud books.

    Thank you..again! Yeah, it doesn't bother him a bit. It is kinda hard to see, just a dip at the top of his hip. I'll wait it out.:)
