@jkent said in Patiently (ish) waiting:
we saw images of health certificates for our puppy's parents.
I am delighted you did. I never hear anything from your breeder and doubt that he would be interested in the database. I don't have photo-copies of any certificates of his dogs' parents but if you can assure me that you have them, albeit on a broken phone, I can add the clearances to the database.
I am assuming they are Zoogen ?
-
@zande it was from a company in Manchester. I have asked him to forward me the images again.
-
@zande the breeder kindly forwarded the images of the fanconi results again and I have emailed them to you (with his knowledge).
-
@jkent Yes - The rest of Europe and all of USA uses OFA, the Russians use Zoogen and in Australia it is Orivet. This is a totally new testing agency I have never heard of.
However, your dog's parents are both clear by parents anyway so I have accepted these certificates.
Interesting that the UK might have its own OFA equivalent - But I am continuing to use OFA when I get Kito checked !
-
I am very happy with the breeder we have chosen she has been so helpful and I can see she is well thought of in the community.
We are now down to 2 names (we think, 6 year old changes her mind every 5 minutes lol). Gizmo (front runner) and Fox.

@enquiring_mind - Honestly? The pup you tell you what name is the best when you get the pup home....LOL
-
@tanza mine always tell me what they want to be called . Best not have any preconceived ideas
-
We have some new pictures of our boy Gizmo. Oh I am so excited to have him with our family soon.
-
@enquiring_mind he looks very cheeky!
-
@jkent doesn't he. My cheeky boy. 🥰

@enquiring_mind
Adorable impish little face! 🥰You’re in for a load a fun with Gizmo! Congratulations! 🐾 -
I love his face and expression. Jealous here! He's likely going to be trouble, but so much fun!

Well on Friday night at 12:30am, after a long journey, our Gizmo arrived home.
He has settled in like a dream. The first 24 hours have been great. He's great with my 6 year old daughter, walking nicely (was pulling a lot at first) and no messes in the house.
I was worried how he would do in his create at night after all his naps being on the hooman cushions. But after a little time of whimpering he's slept well too.

Congratulations! He is ADORABLE! 🥰🐾 -
He is super cute, but do register him with the Kennel Club - same applies to everyone who is importing a Basenji puppy into UK. Doesn't matter if you never intend to breed or to show - all dogs should be registered. Go to the KC website and follow instructions.

Thank you, this is my list of things to do this week.
