    Well I finally got tired of waiting and called OFA today. So far, I have results of two of the tests: Her hips are ok, and her Fanconi is clear/normal. Waiting for the eyes and they thyroid results! Eyes should be ok according to the vet, just need the CERF, so the only one I am really waiting for is the thyroid.

    Don't know yet, haven't received the actual papers, they just told me over the phone that everything was ok.

    How do you find out what the actual rating is? Got the papers yesterday, it just says "GOOD" on it.

    Good is the rating. There are 3 ratings that are considered normal hips: Excellent, Good, and Fair. In our breed we see many of HD dogs come from families with a family history of Fairs.

    Ah, ok… Sorry for the silly question, still new to all of that...

    Does anyone know when the results appear on the OFA website?

    They usually appear within 2 weeks of being recieved in the mail. Sometimes sooner than that sometimes later.

    Here's an update on Lana:

    since the Hips/Eyes/Fanconi is all good/normal/clear (still waiting for thyroid), we actually went ahead and selected the male, absolutely stunning Ch. Bushbabies Red Ryder, from Bushbabies Basenjis in Livermore, CA. Waiting for Lana to come in heat! They are a very good match, body and personality, should be pretty nice puppies!

    my thanks to all of you for your wonderful advice - i will take everything that you all have said into consideration before making a decision - however my wife and i have decided that our grieving over the loss of our 4 year old is not over yet so we are going to delay any decision until we can get past this point - with that in mind, and realizing how difficult these discussions have been for me, i am going to unsubscribe myself from this site until such time as we can come to better terms with our situation - again, my thanks to all of you for trying to help - Manny

    Isn't it amazing that B's are capable of such treachery? Abbey pulled a good stunt once. I was sitting in my recliner eating 4 Ritz crackers out of a napkin. She was "asleep" on the sofa or so I thought. When I got finished eating the crackers I folded the napkin into a tiny little square, flattened it out, and put it under a stack of books and magazines on the coffee table. After a couple of minutes Miss Abbey wakes up and stretches really big like that was the best nap ever. She climbed down off the sofa and went around on the other side of the coffee table and stretched again. All of a sudden she reared back on her hind legs, knocked all the books off the coffee table, grabbed that napkin and ran! A napkin thief and an actress too!!!
