Well actually my husband called her while he was in that are two weeks ago and she had just got back from a show and won second place and yes she has alot of hounds but I was confused that why I had to have one fixed if I bought it from her, but I haven,t talked to her myself but her pups go for five hundred and had some for less but we finally got our taxes back and paid the vet with some and was going to get a pup with the rest. So right now its up in the air we may try to wait till fall when they hit the paper but I do appreciate any help from anyone and I sure miss her the house seems so quite and I picked up her food bowl yesterday to fill it with water and caught myself and just put it back down. But I have a 30 year old daughter who is a teacher and she calles me ever day to say it will be okay.

Thanks Dee

Well gang sad to say stormy is in doggie heaven as of the 16 when she passed away at the vets office. He said he had never seen a basenji go down so fast because her tests were not that bad and she really had only show signs of the disease in early may. But I am on the hunt for another one and have her picture up as my desk top back ground on the pc. I found a breeder in waldron ark and she shows alot of her dogs and wins alot she has a web site on next day pets and top dog basenji those two sites. Her dogs are soooooooooo expensive but adorable. We are headed their this weekend to look. So I guess I am a person for punishment by getting another one but once you have one thats it you want more but this time I will be on top of ever thing she does. So check you all later and send pictures.

Well gang I took Stormy to the vet Thursday-6-04-09 and he ran all the tests and will get them back next week. He has two Basenjies of his own and they come to work with him so he knows the breed. I know if anything happens to her I will get another one but will ask the breeder if the pups have been tested. I look at all the pictures of all your dogs you have posted and they all look alike how weird. But they need to really find out why and how this breed gets the disease they have, if I had the money I so would invest it in a vet school to find a cure.Then I would feed the homeless. Take care all and will check back next week.

Thank you all soooooooo much I called another vet and he has been nice enough for me to have a payment plan. I am so excited and know Story will be much better. I just hate to ask for assistance but then for her I would . So will let you all know how she gets. Thanks for the hear felt cares. Nothing like a Basenji to care for you can,t go pee with out them following you but would not have it any other way, haaaaaaaa.

:) Hey all, I am Dee from Arkansas my Basenji Stormy Ifound out has the fanconi disease. i figured she did when i noticed her drinking alot of water last month. I took her to the vet and he has two of them I had not been to the vet for her except for her shots once a year. But I am on ss and no money to spare but I took her in and told him up front what was wrong and what she had been doing and right away he knew what she had and I told him I just wanted to make sure and that I had no money for all the tests. So I left came home and cried and gues I am watching her die, but she plays runs and pees all the time and she stays out alot with my St. Bernard except at nite and some during the day. So what do I give her feed her to help her live longer, any suggestions I would appreciate.
