Please read up on responsible breeding, place those puppies on spay/neuter contracts, and spay and neuter your pets. If you aren't knowledgeable enough to know about pedigrees, health testing and genetics, please don't breed. You seem like you love the dogs, so do the right thing for the breed.

…and get them tested, read up on Fanconi and if you have questions don't be afraid to ask them... people may not be happy that you haven't fanconi tested the parents because the puppies could become affected as well; it is a horrible thing but we would rather you ask the questions now than not at all. And by "all"- I mean both your two dogs and ALL the puppies need to be tested..please..please and please again

Sire: Siscos Durham in My Past (Brindle & White)
Dam: Kenya (Sanchez) MEX.FCI. (Red & White)Could you please send me the parents of both of these dogs. They are not in the database so I need their info so I can get them added.
Thank you.

Thank you for your suggestions. I will have them all, parents and puppies, tested for fanconi. I am to speak with my Vet on Monday.
If any of the puppies has the syndrome, I will spay it immediately. If any of the parents has the syndrome, it will get spayed too, as it makes sense to stop breeding a dog that will carry on a genetic problem to its offspring and thus affecting the Basenji breed generally. If both parents are healthy, I won't spay them.
Regards. -

Regards.You vet probably won't have the information. You need to go to the OFA website and order the test.

We will just agree to disagree.
As I previously mentioned… I know that it would be next to impossible for anyone to come to my home and decipher which dogs were whelped/raised for part of their lives OUTSIDE in lovely warm weather.
All are incredibly socialized and have impeccable temperaments.Sorry you have to be ripped apart like a common backyard breeder.
You have dogs with good breeding behind them... you can email me at any time for any information.
I have also placed Basenjis in Mexico and they have had fabulous lives with their lovely gardens! -
Rodrigo, a belated welcome to the forum.
Just wanted to say kudos to you for taking this "grilling" about your breeding in stride.
What's done is done, and while a lot of us here are very critical about irresponsible and casual breeding, please understand that we are all, I think, driven by a love for the breed and for dogs in general.
You seem quite willing to do right by these dogs and the futures of these puppies, and I encourage you to stay connected with this forum as there is a lot of good information and a solid network here. I'm honestly not sure what or who is available to you in Mexico, but it's certainly not too far away or isolated with the help of the internet!

Sorry you have to be ripped apart like a common backyard breeder.
I re-read this thread and I did not see a single post "ripping apart" the breeder. I saw advice being given and that's what this forum is for.
You have dogs with good breeding behind them…
Having dogs with good breeding behind them doesn't change the fact that the parents were bred together with zero health testing. The breeder had never even heard of Fanconi syndrome until they posted here. In America, we call that a "backyard breeder". In any country, it is irresponsible breeding.
The majority of backyard breeders, or BYBs as they are sometimes called, are not bad people. They are people whose knowledge about breeding doesn't go past their own backyard. With gentle guidance, most people who want to continue breeding dogs are willing to learn how to breed responsibly. I think it is obvious that the OP (original poster) wants to do the right thing and staying on this forum is a great way for them to learn.

Sorry you have to be ripped apart like a common backyard breeder.
You have dogs with good breeding behind them…Common back yard breeder:
has a pet (or breeding pair, gag)
limited knowledge about genetics and testing
no knowledge of pedigrees and thinks having any champions anywhere in the pedigree (champion bloodlines is how both BYB and puppymillers advertise such dogs who have ANY champions in last 4 generations) makes the dog worthy of breeding
little to no health testingSorry but this person, nice or not, is a common backyard breeder and frankly, quite a BIT less knowledgeable than most byb today. ONE HOUR on the internet reading and this person would have found both BCOA and health issues. This person either didn't GIVE A DAMN to research or is so utterly knowledgeable that he didn't even KNOW to try to read up on health issues. He seems to want to do right, but in this day and age, it is negligent that he didn't already read some basics on his own. If he has the ability to find this forum to ADVERTISE his puppies, he certainly could have found info before breeding.
No one RIPPED this person. No one was harsh. But yes, this person is a backyard breeder. And considering the facts presented, I think everyone here was very nice because it really does seem this person is open to learning and doing things right.
As for your outside raised dogs… glad you lucked out. Won't bother to show you studies indicating yours is not the norm. Perhaps the puppies owners spent massive time with them, which obviously compensates for them being outside. This person couldn't even be there for the whelping, for crying out loud. Your encouraging a novice owner to keep them outside when they truly need all the socializing they can get to compensate for lack of experience... well I find that a little alarming. I appreciate you think your dogs came out fine, but you probably got a pup from experienced owners who truly DID go the extra mile to make sure outside raised dogs got enough attention.
