The preliminary from the vet is a dog flu that developed into pneumonia. He woke up on 1/22 with a difficulty breathing (just breathing ALITTLE heavier than normal) so we took him to the vet, they gave him some medication (an expectorant i believe) and we took him home. 5 or 6 hours later he started breathing VERY heavily and we took him to the E.R. where they put him in an oxygen crate and at 4:00am on 1/23 he had passed. Very unexpected as he never had any health problems before that besides the hernia (which im told is common) and he had cloudy eyes (which didnt affect his sight at all) and besides his normal checkups never had to go to a vet.

And his bloodline led me to believe he was bred from a reputable breeder, searching online i have found a cpl of brothers and sisters that are healthy

I filled out the form. The article is a little harsh for a person who just lost a loved one, but revealing nonetheless and eye-opening.

Thank you for the information, i am in FL so Serengeti would be the the better choice. Im not so much concerned with the breeder credentials as i am trying to finding a puppy that will be a relative to my puppy if possible.. I got him at a pet store with many diff. problems and we felt pride in taking in a "dis-guarded" pup if you will and feel wonderful to know he had the best 5 years of his life as we possibly could give him..

Recently I lost my 5 year old basenji, Daunte, suddenly.. I currently live in my parents house but will be moving out after i receive my degree this spring.
I would love for a direct bloodline of Daunte to join me in my new life but i am having trouble finding his breeder… My father has all of the paperwork to his litter...

the registration is with UNITED all breed registry and pedigree service- BLUE RIBBON DIVISION..
