@sharronhurlbut:

Did you get your fanconi cheek swab test yet? Any results back, if you did??
More photos please. He is very handsome.

We were able to get ahold of the breeder. she came down for photos she said she needed for getting him registered, and she also did the fanconi swab test. I have not been able to get aholdof her again to find out The results yet though.

and then here are a couple from more recently !

and then here are a couple from out hiking

and then one from our costume party.

well i know its been a while since i posted pictures of monty but here are a couple that we have.

here are a couple more from his puppy days

was in contact with the breeder today she is sending us a fanconi test kit,

Ok, that is something I will do tonight then. And if he hasn't been tested can I just take him to our vet or is that somethin I would have to go somewhere special to get done?

@sharronhurlbut:

Its wonderful about the DNA testing…but what about the fanconi testing? Sorry to sound like a broken record, but I had a fanconi b and I loved and lost that dog.
We have so much information now, its so important for you to know...[/QUOTE
The breeder did say she had testing for fanconi done. But we are still waiting to see who the sire is.... so.

he is 9 weeks old. . .

@tanza:

His dam is not a registered Basenji. And unless DNA was done, I am not so sure that the sire of the litter is known either.

We are just waiting on the DNA results to come back.

No he is a straight B. Both of his younger sisters are the normal tan colour with some white.

just got him home today. . .

@rmholt:

Since this is an Avuvi litter there will be more than the usual testing. As I told Charlie, the price is low bc it wasnt planned and it is African. The puppies should be UKC if I have guessed right about the father but I cant guarantee that. The price covers the testing. You wont find many breeders paying for hip OFA testing and CERF for pets. Some only Fanconi test parents.

It will all be in the contract.

As with all responsible breeders I provide support for questions and since these are Avuvis they may not be like domestics in some ways.

However, the help of a group is always good.

Over time I have found Basenji Companions to be the support group of choice.

Marie

thank you for the update. charlie keeps me informed but i get lost in translation from you to her to me. . . hahaha. . .

She believes her name is Rose Marie Holt, out of Nampa Idaho.

I'm not sure exactly sure who the breeder is, as my girlfriend charlie has been the one talking to her.

@sharronhurlbut:

I meant to ask, are you getting a basenji you will be showing or a pet? We have both groups of folks in this group, so you will have a lot of support either way.

no, not showing, he is just going to be a pet.

and yes we are both very excited to get him. we are still trying to decide on a name for him as of now. . .

Names Thomas. My girlfriend and I are about to get our first puppy in 5 weeks.
Very excited.
