There are some indications of hereditary factor,s but all dogs, including mixes, can have it. Good luck on Curly Sue staying healthy and having it found early.
This is a good support and info site:
This weekend I joined Facebook at the urging a friend who said it makes staying in touch much easier. Pretty quickly I started getting friend requests from people I haven't known since high school.
How is this basenji related you ask? Well, one of my high school friends posted a pic of a chewed spatula that her dog got a hold of. I commented that it was pretty low on the dog destruction scale. She said, "Yeah, I guess I should have expected as much from a Basenji" So I go look at her photo album for a pic of her dog and it is a red and white basenji boy!
Just thought it was kind of funny to reconnect with a high school friend and find out that we both have the same breed of dog.
That is too cool, it is a small world… after all!!!:D
That's funny Lisa! I got a puppy inquiry a couple years ago that ended up being someone I went to school with, and we were in scouts together too. lol Not sure if she ever ended up getting a Basenji for sure though. I only had boys and she wanted a girl.
Facebook is addicting, but I agree it is a small world!
Did you tell your friend about the basenji forum?
No but I will.
Funny….it IS a small world. I found a new friend, totally unrelated to Basenjis (something else we have in common) through a Basenji friend of facebook...that is one of the THE coolest things about Facebook, IMO. I also found out that my very first grade school crush ended up going to the same University as my nephew...on the opposite coast! Wierd!
But, yeah..FB is the ultimate time-waster....as if I needed another way to waste time
Oh for goodness sake, I tried to find you to friend you…but there are a million women with your name! Will you be my friend? I am listed as Andrea Steedle Walters
