Our dogs will never see the inside of a dog park.
A dog park sounds great, but in reality...

I had one rescue Basenji whose eyes were teary but they weren't bothersome to her. We have a fake Basenji now whose eyes are teary due to clogged tear ducts, the vet has unclogged them but they just clog up again. Doesn't seem to bother him. There used to be a product that you could sprinkle on their food every once in a while to prevent staining and it worked . But it was banned.

I understand, but you do have to realise that 17 is a fantastic age for a dog to get to regardless of breed. Many Basenjis get to that age.

Vet's don't actually do breed identification DNA themselves, you have to get a kit yourself - Wisdom Panel or Embark - then send it in. I've used Wisdom Panel panel a few times, cost about $80 5 years ago. Embark is more expensive.

Oh good. The BRAT Enzo? I was the one to come across Enzo the first time. They didn't want any help from us in the first place, then I think we found him again.

Where are you? There is a pretty tri in a MO Humane Society right now. They declined BRATs help, and she's a blind senior so I want a Basenji savvy home to get her. https://www.adoptapet.com/pet/28093472-columbia-missouri-basenji?utm_campaign=NewPetAlertFR-910&utm_medium=email&utm_source=NewPetAlert&utm_term=petId%3A28093472,placement%3A2&fbclid=IwAR0j-bgZUmAQcq4hO5JpErTIDQdLCxTdyq0z7OuD4jwbUCEB2eEdNB-PgjE
Negative comments, why? I haven't seen any. But some people are just assholes, most of us aren't. Good for you for bringing in a rescue.

There is also Colorado Basenji Rescue: http://www.coloradobasenjirescue.org/index.shtml

Who have you applied for on the BRAT site? I'm the mix coordinator, I might be able to help you out.
