Hello from Tabasco, Mexico


  • Hello & welcome from Canada. Nice looking little girl you have there.

    G


  • Welcome and thanks for the pictures. Are there any other Basenjis in your area? I think you're our first member from Mexico so I was just wondering.


  • Well.. at least there are a male but the vet says there are a few more.

    This is the page of the breeder.. a russian woman and her husband.

    http://mx.geocities.com/vorobievakennel/

    Maca is "hungana vorobieva" from Ekelekua Njambo and dam Strong Stael Anita Happy Baby.

    Her father:

    Ooops to big the photo..
    Anita:

    I asked about the Fanconi test but they dont have such test. Who knows..?

    Maca arrive by plane from Cancun.


  • Yes there is a Fanconi test for all Basenjis… And this is something you should have yours tested for if the parents are not DNA tested. Here is the link to read/learn about Fanconi and testing. www.basenjihealth.org

    And from what I see on the web link that you posted, they have links to Basenji Club of America, so they should know about Fanconi and testing and why it is so important before breeding.


  • Please get this fanconis testing done.
    It will give you the knowledge you need to produce healthy basenjis.


  • They tell me that there is no more fanconi because that thing ends with the new expedition for getting more dogs in the 80s.

    Now reading im know thats is not acuraccy..

    Well reading and thinking about this issue i undestand that I can pay for a kit for fanconi and sending back a dna sample internationally.. ?

    I will do the fanconi.. as soon as possible.


  • Yea, good for you!!!


  • I dont undestand.. looking and make some searches on OFA's Site, looks like the breeders ara more worried about get champions, instead make the fanconi test, the "normal" its not having the test..

    In the website of the one of the most important breeders on Spain they talking about the new championship of one of their dogs, raised on USA, and that dog dosnt have the fanconi test.

    I think that the rings dogs have to obtain that healthy certificates for get some champions.. before they have the chance to breed.


  • I know there are other breeders on this site, who will share info with you.
    Maca, every dog who is bred SHOULD have the fanconis test.
    Or they shouldn't be bred.
    Be they show or pet stock.
    This test truely needs to be done on all dogs who are intact.


  • @Maca:

    They tell me that there is no more fanconi because that thing ends with the new expedition for getting more dogs in the 80s.

    I will do the fanconi.. as soon as possible.

    A very wise thing to do. And I hope that you will tell the breeders that they are wrong in telling people that there is no more Fanconi. Nothing can be further from the truth


  • :) yep.. i understand that, i dont understand why the breeders dont.. :(:confused:

    thanks for the info. searching the parents of maca, i see there are some dogs clear and other carriers.:eek:

    The breeders say to me that theirs dogs are healthy but i will do the test on Maca.:o


  • Welcome to our group. I think you are wise to have the test done. And yes she is very cute.

    Since Buster is a rescue, I would highly suggest that you have DNA Fanconi testing done. It is a cheek swab that you do yourself. You can order the test at www.offa.org for 65.00. Money well spent for peace of mind and know your Basenji's status. Scroll down till you get to Fanconi DNA https://secure.offa.org/cart.html

    Mallia is the third Basenji we have the pleasure of having in the last 30 years. She is a female where as the first two were males.

    Big hugs to you for adopting an older basenji. My heart gets broken when I see the senior b's on the BRAT web page. :( So give Pippi a hug for me.

    First off, Welcome to our site of valueable Basenji information. I have learned so much linking into this site, we have lots of laughs as well. My B, Sahara, crosses her legs all the time, she is such a showoff and often has the regal queen look. I love the look myself, they are such beautiful dogs I must say, not that I am partial or anything. Your Piper is so cute, welcome again.

    Hi Kiro, Welcome our neck of the woods. I live just a bit past Emmittsburg in PA so I'm not too far. The Mid-Atlantic Basenji Club meets at the Carroll County Agricultural Center right there in Westminster. Our next meeting is 1 June and there will also be a spring fun match that same day. It starts at 0900. There is a Yahoo group for the club that has info about the event. It's fun and games. It's really neat to see so many basenjis in one place. Hope you can make it. It's a nice club to belong to. Karen
