New testing

Breeder Talk
  • @Buana:

    Well! Great news!

    We just made plans to test Chafuko in the near future but we had to plan that a little bit earlier!!!! :d
    Chafuko has been asked as stud!!!!!!
    I won't tell much more at the moment because I first want to know everything for sure :)
    It sure is a fine breeder, makes al the health tests and the bitch is tested prob. clear for fanconi.

    But about the testing, we just enterd our forms at the OFA site for both boys (parents are clear but the stud dog has to be tested himself so we also entered Buana)
    This thursday we have an appointment with the vet for his eyes testing, hips, theroid and ha..

    Does anyone know whats the time between entering the forms on the OFA website and getting the test at home?

    I would think that they mail them out pretty quickly, and it is just a small package for the swabs… but I don't know how long international mail takes...

  • Another update!

    Yesterday we made everything clear on both sides and the bitch that should come to holland (it's a bitch that lives with an other family) seems to not have had het reabies shot..
    She can't come to Holland next month :( We and of course the breeder are very sad because everything was already fully arranged..
    She sure wanted to use Chafuko, so we tried to find out if we should be able to come to Sweden with Chafuko. But also he has to be rabies tested before he can go…

    No we have new arrangements for next year :)
    Chafuko will become a daddy of one of her own Basenji's (a very pretty red and white female)
    This lady is a bit too young for breeding this year, otherwise she maybe had come to Holland with her. (and two litters are a bit busy)

    We're so proud of our Chafuko..
    We sure have to be carefull with the litter... or we'll end up with another B... hahaha

  • very exiting Kim :d

  • Conrats to all future Chafuko?s girfriends! It smells like new basenji puppy to your pack:)))))))

    If it?s up to me…. :D

    I'm happy I've a husband that knows the limit for now.... hahaha
    3 dogs, cat, baby on the way... hahahaha
    I always said: The first dog thats coming to our home is a Wolfdog.. so... that won't come out of Chaufko.. (but a puppy of your own dog... aaaahhhh well maybe)

  • Buana - have you considered collecting Chafuko and using the chilled semen AI? That way neither dog would have to undergo the stress of travel.

  • OT (sorry!)….Isn't rabies a mandatory shot over there?

  • We are required to do rabies here in the states.
    What are your rules?

  • @sharronhurlbut:

    Rabies is not required here in the Netherlands, only if you are planning to travel to another country. For Sweden and Norway you need to get the rabies shot very early and after 4 months you need a bloodtest. Dogs are only allowed to enter the country when the titer is high enough. Something similar for the UK, but then one month between shot and bloodtest.

    We never considered that, I will get information about that (for this time it's too late but for a next time) I'ts always good to know.

    Itzyu, that's great information. I like the house analogy. I don't think TwinPeaks or Northern Gurl are the breeder. I do take them at face value as having purchased (or about to purchase) dogs from the breeder, and loving their dogs very much. We've seen this before a couple times, where owners get defensive about their breeder perhaps because it can take a long time to find just the one and we feel some investment in our decisions. Yet, it does sadden me to see such incredible defensiveness around the practice of not testing – this should not be condoned. To this day, anyone can go to the OFA database and note that there is one single Fanconi test listing for this breeder's kenne (and no other tests publicly listed, whether or not she did them)l. That is what everyone is saying is not okay here, for all the reasons outlined by more experienced voices above. If the breeder has a change of heart and starts testing, I for one would be more than happy to commend her for her progressive actions. Better late than never.

    As a newbie to the breed, I took this opportunity to try to learn more about the "Africans" :). What fantastic information it is too… I have downloaded all the information on these dogs, and I am currently in the middle of assessing these beauties myself, before I read what the 3assessors have said about them... I think I have done a pretty good job of critiquing them, I might add :D. Thank you for allowing a newbie to get such valuable info especially as it is such a huge project, and one that perhaps no other breed is able to do, (at least that I am aware of :)).

    Haha a Basenji breeder making profit that´ll be the day if one makes end´s meet(hmm is that english)one should be so lucky.I´m not a breeder but my boy has been used for stud this fall and just paying all the shows(gas,show entries etc)the extensive health testing hips,eyes,fanconi,thyroid panel including TgAA wasn´t cheap.Can assure anyone that his stud fee won´t make me rich but that´s not what i´m intrested in i´m more curious seeing what kinda puppies this combo will give and if he passes on his qualities.

    The other option for hips before the age of 2 years is PennHip which does certifications at a younger age than OFA.
