Fanconi is an inherited kidney disease that can be prevented by doing a DNA test on the parents prior to breeding.

Geoff, all your Dogs are lovely, i've never heard of a Blue Tick Coon Hound before.
Your right Basenjis have beautiful neat feet, have you noticed that the two middle pads on each foot are joined at the bottom like a Wolves. -
What a beauty! Please keep posting those pics, I love her. We have a brindle boy but he is not as dark as Gracie.
