New BABY B girl!
-
She is adorable..how cute..
-
She's beautiful, i love her blaze. What are you going to call her?

Not just fanconi but also, thyroid, eyes, and hips. After taking such care to test Lana it doesn't make much sense not to take equal care in selecting a puppy from fully health tested parents.
I am going to test this girl for everything when I get her. In the sale agreement there is a quote on health guarantee, where I have a year to get all the tests done. If something comes up I can either get my money back or exchange her for another dog. Obviously, I want to get everything done as soon as I possible, in case something comes up, before I get used to having her around too much… Is there a minimum age for hips and thyroid tests?

Registered name is Cambria's Red Arrow, house name is going to be Strelka, meaning "little arrow" in Russian. My mom used to have a dog when she was a kid, her name was Strelka. She was a basenji-type or a shiba-type mutt, brown with white socks and a curly tail. This name in Russia is considered very appropriate for dogs with pointy nose and ears…

Yes, the minimum age for hips is 24 months, thyroid is 12 months, patellas is 12 months. So a one year health garuntee is not worth much since the tests would all be performed after the puppy turns 1 year old.
Why buy from a breeder who is breeding dogs without at a minimum testing the parents for Fanconi which is preventable with testing? This is a highly irresponsible breeding practice.
You said when you bred Lana that the stud dog owner was going to mentor you. When you decided to get a puppy did you ask her for a recommendation?
-
Cambria?!? How is that possible?
This "breeder" has poached the name. These dogs are NOT true Cambria dogs. I had thought that BCOA had petitioned AKC to protect the name from this unethical use but I can't remember if AKC approved retiring the name.

Yes, I thought AKC voted to restrict the kennel name in 2004, that why I asked how it was possible. Was the restriction reversed?

Lisa is right.
If you send in the registration with that name, they will send you a letter stating that the kennel name is registered and it requires a signature of the owner.
Since the main breeder of the Cambria prefix has since passed, that won't be happening :-)So, you can't register her with that name.
I do agree with everyone else… WHY bother with a puppy that COULD easily become fanconi affected?
You did health test your own girl...
why not just find a breeder that has health-tested their sire/dam and get a puppy from them?
Or wait and breed your girl next cycle.If you need some reading material, I'd be happy to share with you many Fanconi articles... some I have written and some by other folks.
You may want to look closer at what it is like to live with a Fanconi affected basenji. It is NOT fun.I would love to tell you have fun... but I think you are making a huge mistake that you could very well wish you had listened to the many voices of reason.

Why would you even want to consider buying a puppy from someone who is so thoughtless as to poach a well known kennel name. And it is not like this person is unknowing of the Cambria line…
And would you really be able to give up that pup if the test turn out badly?
Added to the lists of tests, you should also take her to a board certified veterinarian ophthalmologist for a full eye exam. Can be done at 8/9 wks for things like Coloboma, Cataracts (both Juvenile and Regular) (which can develop as early as two months of age) and PPM. However something like PRA (and causes blindness) is late onset and there is no test, so without health background you would never know the possibilities.

I am shaking my head right now. The Fanconi test is only $65 and only has to be done once in a dog's lifetime. These people have been known to crank out 8 or more litters of Basenjis some years. There is no reason why they can't afford to pay for Fanconi testing at least.

Great point Robyn. And I hope that all our comments are taken as legit reasons to really think about getting this pup before you do so. You have tried to do all the right things when you were considering breeding, testing, finding a mentor, all which is super… to then lower your standards and go to a BYB with no health testing is really a big step backwards.

Me too. This is sad. You'd think someone who's spent significant time on this forum would know better. Do you really want to support those breeding practices?
