You really should verify that the parents have been DNA tested for at least Fanconi. Just saying "I have not had problems with Fanconi" is (in my opinion) not good enough, especially since we have a DNA test. Buyers should always ask to see the paperwork for test and also to seach on line at www.offa.org with the dog/bitches registration number and/or registererd name. I always encourage new people to the breed to please do the research.

I really like your/Lenny's sweatshirt! I am too lazy to attempt it without a sewing machine
For knitters out there, here is a link to a VERY simple sweater that anyone who can knit a scarf with a simple knit stitch can master. It allows for variation/customization with more advanced stitches/techniques as well. My first one turned out OK, I made a few minor adjustments on my second attempt and from then on they have turned out better and better with each one I make.
I use size 9.5 knitting needles and 2 strands of the cheap red heart brand acrylic yarn.
WARNING: dogs who chew can quickly unravel a hand knitted sweater simply by chomping through a single thread!

He looks adorable, thanks for sharing the up close pic of the coat. I may be able to make this one, it looks fairly easy! By the way, how is Tayda doing on the protocol?
-
Knitting is something that is completely beyond me! Love those sweaters though! Thanks for the compliments on the coats though - Lenny thanked me today by stealing my eggplant off the counter and eating the entire thing!
Tayda is doing pretty well on the protocol - her blood gas levels are "too good to be true" according to Dr. Gonto. So all is well in that department. She appears to be in the stages of renal insufficiency - I have to take her back in a couple weeks for follow up bloodwork to see how her kidneys are doing… fingers crossed her BUN and Creatinine are normal....thanks for asking!
-
Ohhhh, I can't knit… I'm talking about the other one (I CAN Sew)! I'm glad Tayda is doing well! I hope the kidneys check out good, I know that UTI is common in fanconi dogs...
