@jengosmonkey au contraire ! I was being facetious or even sarcastic. Visitors have to be basenjiphiles - which you undoubtedly are. You meet the requirement.
Help asap please

Lisa, yourwonderful. I admire you so much!
-
Pedro, I am sorry, I made a mistake. Again, I am sorry.
-
what do u mean a mistake ? on what???>
-
I am very sorry to have to be the bearer of bad news but AT RISK means Probably Affected which is what will show up on the OFA website. Probably Affected dogs are not issued an OFA certificate.
-
That is sad news - I am sorry to hear it. Now it's most important to do as much for your dog, Pedro, that you can, by working very hard to keep your basenji as healthy as possible, and to find a good vet to work with. Others here will be able to offer you more information - I just send my best wishes.
-
hi, i talked to another breeder and she has never heard if a test coming back at risk!, and told me the same thing as ivoss was saying before that that is not a sure resault!. that it's not a diagnoses!to see if i can get another test at no charge!!!.
-
if a basenji carries both genes i'm guessing the genes are carrier and affected/ does that mean the dog is at RISK OF DEVELOPING THE FANCONI OR DOES IT MEAN THAT THEY MIGHT NOT EVER GET IT!!???>

Lisa checked with Jon Curby who works with the U of MO lab and OFA and it does mean Prob. Affected. They just changed the name to At Risk, however we believe that they will be changing it back. Jon was going to check and see why it was changed, but again, it still means the same.
Most important thing now is to keep your Basenji as healthy as possible and I also agree that neutering him would be the responsible thing to do.

If both dogs carry the gene and they both pass it along to the offspring then the offspring is going to be Prob. Affected and they are of high risk of developing Fanconi. Most of us believe that if the test is Prob. Affected, they will at some point get Fanconi.
Again, if you would read about how the testing works at www.basenjihealth.org it would give you a better understanding of the test and the results.
-
Pedro, this is awful news for you. I am so very sorry. I had a dog with fanconis, you will find a lot of support here. Its importand that you find a vet who can help you keep your basenji as healthy as possible for as long as you can.
If you post the town you live in, I am sure someone can help you find a vet with the knowledge you need. -
thanks everyone!!!!! i'm going to do my best to help him live till hes'12 to 14 yrs old ! he'll be the oldest basenji to ever live with this sh~T!!. how much does it usually run in medical bills for this?.
-
thanks lisa,i have been on the phone allday trying to get ahold of john at the ofa !, but now i guess i don't have to ask him about it now!!. i'm soooo mad that a breeder would sell a puppy like this to someone and not tell them!>>>
-
hi guys ! i just called the pet shop and told them i wanted my money back!, one of the workers there said that they would to something for me but ,she herself could say whay it would be!!. does anyone have a blk&wht basenji that 500. w/shipping/??, please someone say yes!. that is clear from fanconi, AND I WILL NOT BREED HER!. WE CAN EVEN DO A CONTRACK WITH HER!!. . OH WHY WOULD IT BE BEST TO GET HIM FIX?, WOULD IT HELP WITH HAVEING THE FS!??>
