My boy did the same thing when I brought him home. It sounded like I was killing babies he was so loud and persistant. Over time (a few weeks) he has settled down and got into the daily routine. I am sure you will get a lot of advice from the forum here… my only advise would be as consistent as possible and be patient with the screaming. It will get better.

Your pup is totally adorable!!

"It has come to our attention that there are technical problems with the new Fanconi Syndrome test for Basenjis. The reasons for these problems are under investigation. We are temporarily suspending testing until these problems are solved."

This is how it reads now.

They did update the website to a different status a day after my initial post. It is more inline to what is being told to to the club now.

I might have too look into the Ft. Worth show then to spectate. Have only been to one here in San Antonio an one in Houston before.

Is anyone on the forum going to be showing at show?

I noticed that they weren't accepting orders for the test today when I tried to order one. Although it is stating it is due to a backlog on the website. Odd.

Thanks you all. He was scanned for a chip and there wasn't one. That will be scheduled to be implanted when I have him neutered.

Quick question on this Fanconi Test? Does it show if he has it or does it just determine if he is a carrier for it?

Thank you all for the information and compliments. I will order the test next Friday when I get paid. Thank you again.

Ivoss- The papers that he left does have the sire and damn listed but nothing shows up looking for them on either website, nor a google search. As for the Fanconi Syndrome DNA test that is listed on the site; at what age should I test him? I will see if any of the specialist at work are familiar with this testing as well.

Eeeefarm- I am working on the socializing of the two actually. The rats live in a nice 5 story ferret cage and when I bring out Obi to play they run down stairs to see what he is doing. Basically at this point they sniff each other through the cage bars with out any biting on either end.

Hello all. My basenji and I are new to the forums and are finding all the information within a little overwhelming. Hopefully with time things we become a little more tolerable.

My Basenji is just turning 10 weeks old and is a little handful but we are adjusting well to living with each other within this past week. They sure have a lot of quirks compared to other dogs I have owned/taken care of in the past. I received him from a man who came into the veterinary specialist office I work for and abandoned him while services where being performed. After a few days of trying to contact the owner with no luck I decided to keep him as I am the only one at the clinic without any dogs (only own to huge rats, Wilco and Tofu). The paperwork he left seemed to be registration papers through CKC (Continental) and a sheet with two parvo/distemper/bordatella vaccinations listed. I am assuming this little guy came from a BYB.

I hope to learn a lot about my guy here. Thanks in advanced.
