Registration

I would suggest highly that you consider doing the DNA test for Fanconi. It is really important for you and the long term for your Basenji. You can learn about the test at www.basenjihealth.org

yeah, I know, and I most likely would not have shown, because i never have, but its just frustrating to know that I cant. He has champion bloodlines in both his mother pedigree and his fathers, with akc but …. yeah. I didnt think it mattered because I was going to register him here in the DR and not in the states. It turns out that they probably wont register him here unless he is akc.
It doesnt matter that much to me. -
Please give all the pedigree information to Sally Wallis who takes care of the Basenji Pedigree Database as it is important to have all Basenjis in it especially the non AKC registered ones. Her e-mail address is sally.wallis@btopenworld.com.

Who is the breeder of your dog and the sire and dam? I am curious because I have rescued a couple of APRI registered dogs.
-
I bought him from George and Melissa Howell in Kansas City, MO. They arent "breeders" they just had one litter at home. I will send Sally an email whith the sire and dams info. I havent registered my puppy Ayo yet.
Please note that one who has a litter is a breeder, whether they want to be called that or not.
The reason it was mentioned to send Sally Wallis the information is because that litter can never be picked up through the AKC stud books since the dam is not AKC registered. Sally has built a massive basenji pedigree database and it has been helpful beyond years when looking up pedigrees of rescue dogs, as well as research for breeders.Do you mind sharing the full names of the sire and dam with us?
Best of luck with your new little one!

Test: FANCONI SYNDROME
Results: AT RISK -
AT RISK does NOT mean Carrier it means AFFECTED. Your puppy is therefore a Carrier. You and the breeder are VERY lucky, since they didn't test until after the breeding, that the sire is Clear otherwise there could have been Affected in the litter.
If you are in contact with them, please urge them to immediately start strip testing their girl as she may begin spilling sugar sooner than later since whelping taxes the body.

I thought AT RISK, meant at risk of developing Fanconi, not ,"already having" Fanconi. I will let them know that they should test to make sure. If I were to breed Ayo it has to be with Dam that tests clear. I am sending her pedigree up to her great grand parents, the same I sent to Sally.

It means that she has genes for it but she may not yet be symptomatic. If the owners are not strip testing regularly she could be fairly far progressed in the disease before they notice what is usually the first outward symptom, increased thirst and urination. It is much better for the dog if onset of symptoms is caught early, such as when they first start spilling sugar, usually intermittently.
