Another basenji story

Basenji Talk
  • Thaks guys,

    I will keep everyone posted on Lana's tests.

    Daria

  • 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.

  • What was her actual hip rating?

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

  • @lvoss:

    What was her actual hip rating?

    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!

    Oh Barklessdog, you are a brave person. I must now stand with you in insane-solidarity and admit I bought it too. It is awful but when you get the line "we couldn't say goodbye so we took him home" part, you know you got to help support the woman. lol

    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!!!
