Fanconi DNA Test

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • Here is them together again! :)

  • How cute… it is so much fun when litter mates can meet up..... Mia looks like... hmmm... better these two bite on each other then me!!!

  • yes Mia was not impressed, you could tell she was thinkin "Ok you just brought this random puppy in my home last month don't tell me we're keeping this one too!" lol…
    I do want to get Mia tested, her sire and dam was King Clyde Eastwind and Saadie East Bank. I could not find them on the site to see their results, but Tommy (the breeder from port Orange, FL) said he had never had a puppy with Fanconi.

    Ha, ha!! Of course he hasn't!! Puppies don't get Fanconi!! I bet he hasn't had any puppies die of old age either :rolleyes:

  • If you can't find them on the OFA site then they have not been DNA Tested… so a good idea to have her done. They are also not in Sally Wallis's pedigree database which says that they are most likely not AKC registered? Is Mia AKC registered?...

  • yes Mia is AKC and so are her parents

  • Bottom line, if they are not showing up in the OFA data base, then they have not been DNA test. Have you checked to see if Mia's grandparents are in the OFA database?

  • I don't know who her grandparents are, how would I find that out (website)? I have the registration #'s for both her parents.

  • I sent you a PM but if a dog is AKC registered you can always order a pedigree from the AKC online store.

  • @Mia:

    You can order a pedigree from AKC, www.akc.org and then go to the store link. You can order it on line as an electronic file for 10.00.

    Most breeders give you an extended pedigree?

    @wizard: I've looked at that website but still don't understand the reason behind doing this test. It doesn't check for genetic defects just parentage. It seems it undeniably verifies parentage, but isn't that what the AKC registration does? There must be something I'm missing. It is to prove parentage… as you could put any name of any dog on a set of papers and sent them it.... which in cases of Puppy Millers and some BYB's that is was was being done..... so the parents were NOT the parents of a given puppy. If you read the minutes each month on the AKC site (Secretary's page) you can see how many litter registrations were reversed "due" to DNA parentage.

    @dmcarty: re: puppy mills and testing only one parent - I know for a FACT that at one place the sire of several years of litters was not the sire - it was a male who had good papers so his name was listed even though he was DEAD. One of the PM's males was the sire of several litters attributed to this OTHER dog. (I happen to know the person who owned the substitute sire) So it is unfortunate but the testing will only be as ethical as those who provide information to the test. Geez I hate to even say that but I am afraid that it's true. No doubt about that… and another reason to only look at AKC who has a DNA parentage program for high volume breeders...
