    @Maca: Well i do my best about alerting about fanconi. there is a young vet that are bredding basenjis and making fanconi to his dogs and now have a litter from Summer and Blade the famous champion and will test all his litter prior to sell. So he is good news, im still not breeding Maca, looking for a brindle male tested and register, but lately there is no one. Now i member of the group have a litter but still he will make fanconi to the mom so im waiting to see the results to check if i get a puppy or maybe with Laika sick its time to just care my actual girls.. i dont know. Greetings and thanks for support.. I have used Maca but not for long as it tastes awful. I was using it raw, putting it in shakes, but I couldn't take the taste. Maybe cooking with it is the way to go, I did not know that was a good option. I still have most of mine, I think I'll give it a shot that way. But as far as It being a caffeine alternative, there is not any stimulant effect.

    @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.

    @Kipawa: Good results! :) And kudos to you for starting strip testing next year. Kipawa will either be clear or carrier. I'm going to send away for the test soon. You hope. Please remember the test is linkage, not clear genetic. While your chances are VERY good for clear or carrier, keep in mind that isn't 100 percent sure.

    @lukris: That's good news about Chance Vicky. At least you know you have to find a nice clear boy for Nakura now. You must be relieved. Chance is Nakura's son so can't use him! The search continues. We need to encourage more people to test are there are only about 6 clear stud dogs in UK at moment. So not much too choose from there!!
