Monty is finally here
-
Pat is correct. If you can't go to a website and see the results, I would say this testing wasn't done and you would be very wise to do it yourself.
Yes, its $60 but the knowledge you get from this will help you keep your dog with you for many years. -
You order the test kit from the OFA website, http://www.offa.org/dnatesting/index.html
Your contract should have included details of all the health testing results of the parents, in this case, just the dam since the sire is still unknown, as well as all the health results for your puppy like CERF and Fanconi DNA results if done prior to placement, etc.
-
Good for you for doing this test. We will all be here to hear about the results and cheer when you get a good report.
Its so worth knowing. -
Monty is so cute!!! He sure has a lot more white than most, but you never know - it doesn't preclude him being pure B. Hope you have lots of years of enjoyment with the little guy - he is precious.
-
Its wonderful about the DNA testing…but what about the fanconi testing? Sorry to sound like a broken record, but I had a fanconi b and I loved and lost that dog.
We have so much information now, its so important for you to know...[/QUOTE
The breeder did say she had testing for fanconi done. But we are still waiting to see who the sire is.... so.Okay… not here much but a breeder purposely bred this litter? <running for="" duct="" tape="">Cute puppy. But the link given for "this breeder" with other dog made me a bit queasy.</running>

It was an "opps" breeding

I just found one in the database of another white and red animal, I think it is from the same breeder (going of another post)
http://www.pedigrees.zandebasenjis.com/cgi-bin/geneal.pl?op=tree&index=Z6k83F31&gens=5&db=basenji.dbwBasenjis with excess amounts of white exist regardless of whether they have imported African dogs behind them or not. You can find them even if the pup has nothing but champions in it's pedigree.
Monty is adorable no matter what his ancestors were. Good luck with your new puppy. :)

Oh, that is wonderful…glad she is doing this for this b of yours.

Oh no I fully agree, I'm not trying to ruffle feathers I don't mean it in that way I didn't mean it to come off like that. And Monty is absolutely adorable puppy. :D :p I think the white on him makes him quite unique. I hope that twshutika keeps all the pictures coming so that we can watch him grow.
twshutika: I'm very happy to hear that your breeder is going to send you a fanconi test kit. And please keep posting pictures of him. Don't starve of us this special little boy that you have.
