    You should think about getting DNA test done for Fanconi… go to www.basenjihealth.org and read about it…. it is worth the money to easy your mind.. or if the worst happens, be prepared for what might be...

    No, you should look into it because you don't know where she came from and have no information if her Sire and Dam were DNA tested for Fanconi.

    Did you get Lilly from the Largo SPCA? I know of 2 other basenjis adopted from there in the last 6 months!

    We get together every Sunday morning (weather permitting) at a large dog park in Tampa, (West Park) you are welcome to bring Lilly over to meet the pack. We often have 10-12 basenjis there running and playing. We occasionally do a 'road trip' to Crest Lake Park in clearwater, that is a really nice park too.

    You should be strip testing her, until you can get the DNA testing done.
    Let me know if you need info on this.

    @abonnard Pee pads got me through in the end, she would pee every 20 mins for the first months, then 40 mins, then she suddenly went to being able to hold it for many hours. One of the best purchases I got before she arrived was a small carpet washer, saved my sanity. The cleanup is so key otherwise they go back to the same spot.

    @msjames, @tanza did you a solid favor outlining expectations. Networking really is key to finding a "reputable" breeder. Most show their dogs and are connected to other breeders through showing. They all seem to know who is planning a litter and who isn't. I completely agree with Pat that you should meet your breeder in person prior to the puppies even being born. You can learn a lot. Is a Basenji right for you? If you want a dog to hang with you in the driveway with the garage door open as you chat with neighbors, or stand calmly with the front door open as you receive a UPS package... ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! Basenjis will bolt. they'll be gone in a second. They see it. They chase it. And if you think you have them trained... no. They've trained you. When they see it they will chase it. Basenjis, in my experience, need exercise. Mine get two walks a day. When they don't, they can be destructive. They're not shy about expressing frustration or displeasure through chewing up your best stuff. A big secure yard can mitigate this, but that's not a guarantee. They love seeing outside, so keep your blinds and drapes open otherwise they may open them themselves even if that requires chewing through them. They will climb onto windowsills, tables and low counter tops. They are capable of scaling a six-foot fence. They are known to climb trees. These are extreme examples, but better to know now. They are super affectionate. They can be trained... to a point. They are clowns and provide endless entertainment. A Basenji baroo is the best sound ever! They love to snuggle and will sleep on your bed and under the spreads and sheets if you let them. They love to share body heat. Tail twitches when I return home are the best!
