    I think it's just nice to tell my story :D

    I just signed Buana in at a DNA fingerprint test, as he is a stud, lot of breeders ask for a DNA profile to see or to have a copy..
    So within a few days, we receive a swab-test and then after 4 weeks he has is own official DNA fingerprint!
    We already tested him for HD, theroid and eyes, his parents both are prob. clear for fanconi but we're thinking about testing both boys also for ourselfes..

    And about a few weeks, we're going to plan all the health testing for Chafuko,
    HD, Theroid, eyes, and DNA.
    So i'm exciting about the results of my little Brindle baby..
    If everything is good, he wil be available too but I think it's nice to know the results for ourselfe!
    Our vet can't wait untill we're coming with our clan.. he is totally in love with the Basenji's…. (I worked there a longer time and even now he send his assistents away and let me assist even with the HD pics!! too cool)

    We'll see! I'll keep you updated!:D

    Congratulations on getting the health testing done!

    Since the Fanconi test is only a Marker test there is no such thing as Clear By Parentage. All dogs being used in breeding programs should be tested prior to breeding.

    Yes, that's why we want to test our boys too. It's nice to know the parents are clear but we want to know for sure :D!

    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?

    Wow, congrats. I will keep my fingers and toes crossed that things turn out. I was told on y post earlier last week that it takes about 3-4 weeks to get results back, but sometimes even faster. I am waiting for Otis's results as well, so I am eager to know when they are coming..

    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

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

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

    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.

    I know Terry Reed is a breeder near Houston and currently has 2 litters. She also shows her basenjis. She was recommended when we looking for a Basenji when ours crossed the Rainbow Bridge last April. We ended up rescuing a mix instead since we didn’t want to wait but had no reservations about getting a puppy from her if we needed.

    The b/w are certainly interesting and look really cute - I know Jon saw them on a previous trip but they were very elusive. He told us that when he came to give a talk at our club show. You're very lucky as many of you'll, I assume, have the opportunity to see them 'in the flesh' in the future. I hope we'll see a lot more pictures.

    @KiroGurl: how much would a red boy cost from most breeders? whATS THE AVERAGE? In the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic, I'd say a safe estimate is around $1000 - $1200 for a puppy from a responsible, reputable breeder. Personally, I haven't found there to be a lot of variables with pricing when you go to a responsible breeder. Off hand, the only real difference in pricing I've seen seems to be that it does vary by region of the US - kind of like everything :D. If a breeder is pricing by colour, male vs. female, or AKC registered/not, I'd immediately look for another breeder - personally I would consider those red flags and RUN. There may be breeders that charge differently for pet vs. show, but there are plenty that don't - none that I've encountered do. A good place to start to find a responsible breeder is always the BCOA breeders directory at basenji.org. And don't forget to verify health tests on offa.org

    Ziki is actually younger than Lema and Mopaya so all three were old enough to be presented. One reason dogs may not be presented as soon as they are old enough is that the owners may not have been in a position to get all of the evaluations completed on time. It can be very time consuming to find available evaluators and if they are not near you, it can be expensive to travel to them.

    Telling new folks about the difference between good breeders and breeders who are for profit not only helps them see there is a difference. It keeps them from getting a loving, and LOSING a beloved b years before they need to. Why put yourself and your family through that, if you can avoid it, but doing some research.
