Monty is finally here
-
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.

Monty is gorgeous!!! What a unique look-He will turn many the heads of everyone, now and at adulthood!!! especially Basenji Aficionados! Many years of happiness to you!

What a gorgeous boy! Ive never seen that much white either…and his tail doesnt look like it has any curl to it either. Looks too straight. Pups at that age usually have SOME curl starting to their tail. Are you sure he's full blood? Regardless, he's adorable :)
-
Did you get your fanconi cheek swab test yet? Any results back, if you did??
More photos please. He is very handsome. -

I believe this is a pup from Rose Marie Holt and an opps breeding from the dogs she brought back from Benin (or a village close by?). So they at this point are not AKC registered and if put up for admission into the AKC stud books would be considered breeding stock with no known parentage. There is a process developed by the Basenji Club of America for inclusion of imported stock to the AKC stud books and that can be found at www.basenji.org
