All else sounded like an infomercial

I agree. I asked very similar questions to yours (through a chat) because I was trying to decide if I should delete the topic (or not). It isn't related to Basenji's, it does sound like an advertisement, and @mazzywinters hasn't responded....

I appreciate that everyone has different experiences.
I don't appreciate that this comes across as "spammy".

@elbrant
Thank you.
Caveat emptor may be the better option. We hope and pray buyers do the research.

@helle-devi - Thanks for the repost, since this was done many years ago, I will update and repost it! Note that if you go the www.basenji.org (Basenji Club of America) you can find this list of how to find a responsible breeder. Note also, since I posted that many years ago there is now a direct DNA test for Fanconi and PRA, results are posted at www.ofa.org and they are public knowledge. You should always check this type of information out for yourself.

@debradownsouth Dayna Johnson told me that her dogs were all Fanconi clear. But the puppy that I got from her is a carrier of the Fanconi Disease. It's not a big deal since he won't be breeding. But she was not honest about her dogs.
The Basenji I got from her is turning out to be a good dog. But I would highly recommend that anyone that has gotten a Basenji puppy from her be tested for Fanconi.

@wynette - This should always be checked at www.ofa.org since results are public record. But you need to have the registration number or the registered name. Of course keep in mind that this is a cheek swab that you do yourself, so there is no way to know if it is from that dog or a different one....

[Wynette]

@tanza Tanza I know. You and I talked about it after I got my first Basenji last year.

This post is deleted!

[DebraDownSouth]

@megg6344 Hmm Two posts each by you and Mazzy, both on the same days about harmony hounds. No other posts by either of you.

I'm glad you are happy with your pup...but I hate seeing such places promoted.

[DebraDownSouth]

@mazzywinters There is no reason for the abusive post.

[Wynette]

@debradownsouth I reply to posts that interest me or if I feel like I have information to help someone. Otherwise I have no reason to post.

[elbrant]

@wynette I think I am the one at fault for this bit of confusion. @DebraDownSouth was referring to a post that I removed because it was "colorfully inappropriate". She was not responding to your post in any way. Please do not hold it against her, it was just a misunderstanding.

[Wynette]

@elbrant okay thanks. I didn't see that post before it was deleted

[DebraDownSouth]

@wynette No problem. But if you look you can see many posts say who the poster is responding to.

Look at this one, it says @Wynette

[lindenbaum]

This is definitely someone affiliated with Harmony Hounds making a sales pitch. It should be deleted, as no one should be purchasing their basenji from a puppy mill.

[elbrant]

@lindenbaum I've long forgotten about this thread. If I am remembering correctly, I left it up so that people could read the flags that it may be a puppy mill and be able to make their own decision regarding that. I am deliberately wording that as "... may be... " because I do not have any personal interaction with "HH" and therefore cannot speak to it.

(please note that I removed your "HH available breeds" list, no offense)
