    My repro vet likes to start on Day 3 and then based on that level will tell me how many days before the next test. My girls are all pretty regular though and ovulate on Day 10 with one exception the year I had to drive over 12 hours to the stud dog.

    Thank you, a little earlier than I thought, but I dont want to miss :):). Not when you fork out horrendous amounts of money for everything else related to fresh chilled semen ;).

    Oh ok :)…

    If all goes to plan, (we are just waiting for her to come into season still... Vanda has already been and gone...), she is to be mated to MBIS, MBISS Gr Ch Afrikenji Hot Sumaknight, Sunny... Owned by David and Helen Veless, at Afrikenji Kennels... Yes they have a website, but Im too puter illiterate to be able to post it, sorry !!!

    He is by Ch Bayenzi Jailhouse Rock, (MBISS Ch Jebelmarra Harum Scarum... Ch Teschi Pipers Tune), and out of Ch Helios Hot Chilli Pepper, ( MBISS Ch Helios Rocky Royale... MBIS/MBISS Ch Helios Lady Othe Nile)...

    Very excited :D:D:D. Its a first litter for us in about 6 years, and the first Basenji litter too (and the last one was a ACD litter), so very nervous as well. Its also the first one that we have had anything to do with fresh chilled semen etc... Wow isnt that a whole new world ??? Just waiting to hear back from the 'powers that be' about my prefix. We have one for the Cattle Dogs, but needed a new one for the B's... I seem to be spending all my life waiting for something ;)...

    I believe that Sunny has progeny in a few European Countries, so some people might already be aware of some of his kids...

    Why add any genes if we are not health testing them?

    One of the folks who went over to p/u this last group of b's has rejoined the forum. He is Bryan Gregory and you can see his post under Jumoke. Ask him the questions you have re the area's and dogs that he saw first hand.

    Health Testing… Why Not ???

    @sinbaje: The one that comes to mind - to the best of my knowledge - should not have had anything to do with the reliability of the results (it was done in 2009 - 2 years after the start of public testing in 2007 when most kinks should have long been worked out). Of course being 2 years after public testing began, I can not think of any legitimate reason for the need for research nor the need to keep it private, but then I am oftentimes guilty of giving too much information vs not enough. ;) I'll see if I can find the reference I am thinking of and if so, will ask - assuming I did not already. Will have to look. Hi Linda - Not sure exactly what kind of situation you're talking about - so will give a general summary. Fanconi research is continuing and we are still using research samples, and gather new samples. Work is primarily to develop a direct test (the current test is a linkage marker test for multiple markers) but also to keep an eye on performance and accuracy of the current test. So getting new research samples in 2009, 2010, and 2011 is expected and needed. Research uses validated dogs that are anomalous and verified affected dogs, usually using new testing technologies. Goal is to develop a direct test and, in the interim, if needed, to improve the existing test. OFA is not funding the research and is not doing the research testing, so they can't tell you anything. OFA handles payment, reporting, and publication of results for the production test. Samples ordered for research are handled separately from OFA samples and are not paid for. They are often blood samples, in some cases fresh blood only, but not always. If you pay OFA to have your dog tested and sign a release form, his results will go into OFA's open database. If a research sample is tested, it will not. For research samples, most I know of were either for known affecteds, to be used to refine the test, or retests to verify a test was of the right dog, or tests of a cluster of relatives to verify parentage where a parent is deceased and DNA is not on file. I can't offhand think of cases where the production test would be done for research for anything except retesting a dog with an anomalous result. In that case, if the result was different, it would be corrected; if not, nothing would happen on the OFA side. For Fanconi, in general, at this point, if Gary is testing a sample or samples for research, he is either using testing methodologies that are not in production (mostly working on getting a direct test) such as whole genome mapping or improved SNP chips, or he is verifying parentage, or he is retesting an anomalous sample to make sure the right dog was tested. A fair bit of that is in the Health Committee report which is on the front page of www.basenji.org, click on annual meeting powerpoint and scroll down to the HC part. I don't know if this answers your questions or not because I don't really have enough info to figure out the specific situation. I can pretty much tell you, if it's a research sample, OFA probably knows absolutely nothing about it. They are not part of the research process right now for Fanconi. They are in the pay/test/report process for the validated Fanconi test already in production. FYI, the Health Committee email list is open to any BCOA member and you can ask questions there at any time. Lisa

    Itzyu, that's great information. I like the house analogy. I don't think TwinPeaks or Northern Gurl are the breeder. I do take them at face value as having purchased (or about to purchase) dogs from the breeder, and loving their dogs very much. We've seen this before a couple times, where owners get defensive about their breeder perhaps because it can take a long time to find just the one and we feel some investment in our decisions. Yet, it does sadden me to see such incredible defensiveness around the practice of not testing – this should not be condoned. To this day, anyone can go to the OFA database and note that there is one single Fanconi test listing for this breeder's kenne (and no other tests publicly listed, whether or not she did them)l. That is what everyone is saying is not okay here, for all the reasons outlined by more experienced voices above. If the breeder has a change of heart and starts testing, I for one would be more than happy to commend her for her progressive actions. Better late than never.

    @Terry: Buana - have you considered collecting Chafuko and using the chilled semen AI? That way neither dog would have to undergo the stress of travel. Terry We never considered that, I will get information about that (for this time it's too late but for a next time) I'ts always good to know.

    Telling new folks about the difference between good breeders and breeders who are for profit not only helps them see there is a difference. It keeps them from getting a loving, and LOSING a beloved b years before they need to. Why put yourself and your family through that, if you can avoid it, but doing some research.

    The other option for hips before the age of 2 years is PennHip which does certifications at a younger age than OFA.
