I used Orijen for a few months. Our boy seemed to like it, but sometimes he would skip a meal. But then we switched to Nature's Variety and he seems to like it even better, hasn't missed a meal in over a year! Both great dog foods though!
I'm Ready!

You should check out the test, for your own piece of mind… it is what is recommended, test results should be available on www.offa.org. And yes, if DNA tested clear (or at worse carrier bred to clear) they would be Fanconi Free. The tests are really on the Sire and Dam… not the puppy, with the exception of an eye exam......
And yes, that would have been my question too about picking the pup... most times the breeder picks the right puppy for the family... not that often that you can go in and just pick one.... remember that the breeder in raising the pups, know them, each of their temperaments and can pick the pup that best suits the new home situation... once in a while there are two the same...

You know from time to time some of us post 'after' the fact when someone has gotten a puppy from a place that we may have some knowledge of. I would not presume to speak for others - but it's a ton easier to talk to people about some of the not so hot breeders (that look good when you first meet them) than to deal with sad situations after the fact.
I would be happy to alert you to any issues with the person or prospective puppies that I may be aware of.
You know the next state over from me has an operation that on the web looks great - and when you meet her dogs seems ok - but tons of health issues and how the animals are really raised is not what you see. I would not presume to say that is the case BUT - if any one is considering getting a B pupppy - I hope you will make an informed decision.

Please, do your homework.
MAKE sure what your told is correct.
The fanconis results are posted…and if you don't see them, then they have NOT been done.
Hugs for wanting another b...but please, take care. -

Allow me to venture a guess….are you referring to Hestekin Hills?
-
this spammer is a bother…Did you ever get your puppy Cpt jack?
-
Unfortunately we were one short on our litter and therefore unless someone backs out at the last minute we don't get a puppy…we are still working for it of course and trying all our options! Pray for us!! THANKS

I do know some breeders who will have puppies that you might want to consider.

HERE IS OUR FINAL DECISION AND THE BEAUTIFUL LITTER!!!
-
Hi everyone and merry christmas
I recently found a dog roaming the streets. He was not tagged and I was unable to locate the owner. I still have him (much to the chagrin of my westie!). He is very cute and very sweet.I had never heard about the breed until a friend of mine ran into a woman with a basenji that she says looks incredibly like my new stray/rescue.
Having read a little about basenjis, "Chester" looks and behaves incredibly like the breed characteristics listed on the basenji web sites. Ill try to post a picture!! Hope it works.
Have a happy new year all!!

Congrats on finding a new B -
Note to Maui Girl re: the previous question you had - yes you are right that's one that I was referring to.

Yes we are getting one of the Red and White males. But i BELIEVE we will be getting the male who is FAR Left on the picture where there are all laying in a pattern and the FAR Right for the face pictures of them!!
