I agree, BRAT does get in pairs and ask they be adopted together plus BRAT works really hard to ensure placement are suitable and going to good homes. If your looking for a basenji savvy home them I would say "yes, getting the fanconi test will help getting them placed"…anyone not savvy or not caring to know about basenji genetic conditions won't care if theyre tested or not)
Not a Basenji but a dog that should have been rescued

Did a search and didn't see anything. Sad happening here in Wisconsin. If you are on Facebook or do a Google on "Justice for Mary the dog". you might really have a problem with this young women. I rescured a three legged Basenji mix last Jan that had been shot a couple time and hit by a car, great mix with the "B" I have. There are several petition out there.

Stories like this deeply depress me

Reading the story in the first link, I didn't look at the others after that, literally made me nauseous. It's hard to imagine a person could do that to any living creature and I hate the fact that animal abuse laws have not been updated and therefore do not give out as harsh of punishments as they should.
