Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • Many people on this Forum feed "raw" and only use people food. I use both, fresh meat, veggies, (and the meat is usually raw or lightly cooked)… but I use a high quality dog food too.. one that is all natural...

    You can find shows and other activities close to you, but you need to do the research.

    And why would you want a Basenji that is not AKC registered? If that is the case, consider a rescue www.basenjirescue.org… and if you think too expensive, then save your money till you can afford a well bred puppy from a responsible breeder

    That "baby" on the couch is my 15+ yr old…..LOL.. that is my old wonderful girl... so always remember, while she is a Dual Champion (show conformation and Lure coursing Champion) she was never bred because there were health concerns... but she was and still is our "pet", loved family companion...

    @lisastewart: Thats true, I guesss I could get my carrier retested now. Not sure there is a reason to retest the clear as the parents were clear and carrier. Yes there is a reason to retest clears, if you read Dr Johnson's write up from the Nationals, he clearly says that even pClear to pClear could produce Carriers, so a pClear to pCarrier could make that pup a Carrier or even Affected if that pClear turned out to be a Carrier. It is recommended that all potential breeding stock be retested with the direct test. And if I had a pClear to pCarrier regardless if I were considering breeding, I would retest.

    Kathy, I sure didn't mean to indicate it isn't a godsend or fantastic! Of course it is. I just meant… well as the Arabs say, Trust in G-d but tie your camel. Get the testing, use it to help guide breeding, retest if necessary, but keep doing the strip test. It's an easy if annoying process that protects your dog against testing errors or human errors.

    @YodelDogs: Was this litter bred before or after the DNA test was made available? Before. Pups from that litter are now adult dogs.
