  • @Maca:

    They tell me that there is no more fanconi because that thing ends with the new expedition for getting more dogs in the 80s.

    Now reading im know thats is not acuraccy..

    Well reading and thinking about this issue i undestand that I can pay for a kit for fanconi and sending back a dna sample internationally.. ?

    I will do the fanconi.. as soon as possible.

    A very wise thing to do. And I hope that you will tell the breeders that they are wrong in telling people that there is no more Fanconi. Nothing can be further from the truth

  • :) yep.. i understand that, i dont understand why the breeders dont.. :(:confused:

    thanks for the info. searching the parents of maca, i see there are some dogs clear and other carriers.:eek:

    The breeders say to me that theirs dogs are healthy but i will do the test on Maca.:o

  • Welcome to our group. I think you are wise to have the test done. And yes she is very cute.

    Since Buster is a rescue, I would highly suggest that you have DNA Fanconi testing done. It is a cheek swab that you do yourself. You can order the test at www.offa.org for 65.00. Money well spent for peace of mind and know your Basenji's status. Scroll down till you get to Fanconi DNA https://secure.offa.org/cart.html

    You will find a lot of new friends here. Do you need the site to order the cheekswab? You order it and do it at home. Very easy!

    I look forward to your pictures. I'm a technophobe too - I keep telling myself I can do it but so far haven't posted any. One of my bitches was spoiled for the show ring by such a judge who didn't know how to approach a hound (although he was a Saluki judge and should have!). She was experienced at showing as well but was traumatised because when she backed away at his front on, silly voice approach she nearly fell from the table! Of course she blamed the fall on his approach. I worked on her intensively but to no avail. Yes, Basenjis on the whole are friendly and they never forget a friend either!

    Bungwa has a very dry mouth and I only managed to get a very tiny white patch on the test card but it was still sufficient to do the test with that. It only turns white when it's dry - the instructions are quite explicit. Of course as Pat says it could be a bad test form.
