    @JENGOSMonkey I WAS THERE FOR '89! I was a kid, but I remember the water coming out of the swimming pool in huge waves and everything falling from the shelves! I was actually born in San Jose, but moved around a lot later LOL I hear the wildfires are more of a concern for you guys now? That's scarier than quakes for me...

    I cannot imagine committing to buy a puppy without seeing the animal and if possible the sire and dam. OTOH, a rescue (or adoption of an older dog) is a different thing. My last two Basenjis came to me sight unseen, and turned out to be wonderful dogs, but the breeders I got them from wanted to place their dogs in an experienced Basenji home, and I only paid the cost of getting the dogs to me. One came by air, one was personally transported to me by his breeder. If she hadn't been happy with what she found I expect she would have taken him back with her when she left. I also had to commit to return him if ever I couldn't keep him. Good breeders care about where their dogs end up.

    @sanjibasenji Thanks for the article on Dog Genome Project - I found it very interesting. I was trying to figure out the interactive Genome wheel. It has the basenji closely related to the Azawakh and rat terrier but I’m still trying to figure out the first wheel which has the basenji listed w/ black/grey starting point. As far as the PBS Dog Tales video - it’s very interesting - it’s season 47 episode 2 - I highly recommend you watch the whole thing (54 minutes).

    @nkjvcjs: That is too funny that you responded now, as I have 2 other tabs open with papers on the experiment. One from 2005, and one from 2007. Have just downloaded them, and will start reading soon :) I had also never heard of operons (multiple genes under control of a singe promoter) in eukaryotes. The dogma I was taught was: One gene, one promoter in eukaryotes. Operons only in prokaryotes. So I was thinking it had to be a transcription factor change. But apparently a small number of operons have been very recently identified in eukaryotes, so I have a 2002 and a 2004 paper I am looking at about that. Fascinating stuff. I am never going to graduate. -Nicole Focus! You can read dog genetics articles once you graduate.
