Have your dogs been tested for Fanconi?

[sharronhurlbut]

Where did you get your girl/boy from?

[thegriffswife]

No, they have not been tested for Fanconi.

We got our male from Grand Haven, Michigan. And we got our female from Massilion, Ohio. They are both from 2005 litters.

So....Fanconi testing costs about $130 for BOTH PARENTS which will be made up with the sale of one puppy...

Versus producing a litter of puppies at risk for a potentially fatal disease.

[sharronhurlbut]

Oh, please do consider doing this test.
Its really the right thing to do for anyone who buys a puppy from you, as well as having the information on your 2 own dogs...
This knowledge is important for you to have..I hope you will consider doing the testing.

Even if you're not concerned about the health of the puppies... at least consider this: many states have puppy lemon laws. If your puppies do develop Fanconi & a buyer gets upset, you can be held accountable as there is no reason for you to NOT get the test. This is a potential financial nightmare. Just a thought.

Please be part of the solution. If you have never seen a Basenji with Fanconi it is a horrible affliction and while in many, many cases the treatment works, there is no cure. Please test your Basenjis and save a person buying your pups the heartbreak if they were to develope Fanconi. There is no such thing as "Not in my Line"... unless you test. You can learn about testing at www.basenjihealth.org test is 65.00 per dog and you need to register them on the CPP site (that is free), but all the details are on the website. Help us all to rid our wonderful breed of Fanconi forever.
Also consider other health testing, it really is important to our breed... we have hip problems, elbow problems, eye problems, and thyroid problems that are all genetic.... be part of the solution to raise health, well adjusted Basenjis. Thanks

Sorry to change the subject but i was reading this post and had a question when does Fanconi usaully show up ? any age ? or is it when there alittle older ? also is there an age when u pretty much don't need to do the test say for example if ur B is 9yrs or so is it still needed then ? Just thought i would throw a couple questions out there .

[sharronhurlbut]

These are good questions.
Fanconis *usually* shows up around the age 3 or so.
If it shows up when the dogs are puppies, they often pass away quickly.
*this is my understanding, I know I will be corrected if wrong* laugh.
Are you breeding your 9 yr old?
