Beegin's Fanconi Test Results

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • I got Beegin's Fanconi test results back today. I had been worried because I had read that the WL line had a lot of Fanconi in it and Beegin's sire is WL's Alex.

    But I got GREAT NEWS today when I opened the envelope. Beegin's tested probably clear/normal for fanconi. Just for others who might have any bs from the cross of (sire) WL's Alex and (dam) Jammin'Jo (I can post their DNA numbers if anyone wants them). OFA number is BJ-FAC2411/14M-PI

    I wanted to thank everyone on this forum for helping me learn so much about this disorder and finally getting the guts to get Beegin tested. I was quite worried but I guess my Mr. B got lucky.:D

  • That is great news for you and Beegin!

    It is important to keep in mind though for others that may have related dogs that two carriers bred together can produce any combination of results Clear, Carrier, Affected or even Indeterminate so if the parents are untested then you really need to test in order to know.

  • Yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Wonderful.
    So now that will not be a worry to you.

  • That is wonderful news for you….but lvoss is right however... two carriers can produce carriers, clear, affected and Indeterminate ... so it is important to test....

    And it is important to pass the word on just how important testing is "before" breeding so that we can rid our breed of this horrible affliction...

  • Great news, what a relief, but tanza is right, out of my litter of four I had 3 carriers and one clear, their mum came back clear (thank god because we knew the sire would come back carrier as he had produced an affected) and her brother and sister are carriers.

    We all need to test.

  • Great news!!!!!!!

    Congrats on the VERY GOOD results!!

  • Congratulations on the great news!

  • Great news:D
    I'm waiting on Belle's results coming back she was from a clear/carrier mating so praying she is a clear, as we don't have many clear dogs here in the UK that I would want ot use.

    :DI am so happy for your good results!!! I haven't gotten the courage up yet to have Bella tested…:( BTW, Bella has the same parents! What is your boy's birth date... maybe they are siblings?!?!?;)

  • Great news for Beegin! :)

    and I love the picture of your babies. I love the independent nature of a shiba inu too as much as I do a Basenji. I think there will always be a concern about fanconi, but this was a good day.

    @Basenjimamma: Ok, I got it. So basically the only way (as far as we know with the test available today) to get affecteds is if the "breeder" either don't test prior to breeding or breed affecteds and carriers together, and not using a clear in the mix. Right, Affecteds and Carriers and IND (between a Clear and a Carrier, so should be considered a Carrier) should only be bred to Clears, period With the very, very few inconsistant results excluded, looking at the test results, what we are seeing is what we would expect to see, especially in looking at tested sires and dams and then their offspring.

    Glad that you pointed that out and yes, sometimes UTI's are really hard to catch… so you are right, learning the symptoms for your dog is the key....
