If Otis' parents have been Fanconi tested…

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • @Basenjimamma:

    His father is Webedoggies Duke of Basenji's and mother Webedoggies Dazzling Fudge

    I think there are some on here with the same breeding. Or at least with the same kennel name. Do you have the full pedigree? On Sally's pedigree database, shows "unknown"/"unknown" as the Sire and Dam of Dazzling Fudge, same thing for the Sire, Duke of Basenjis. And the number they have used for those dogs are not an AKC number

  • I do have some more names; Dazzling Fudges parents Ro-Dan's Red Cardinal and Ro-Dan's cool dazzle of silk. Duke of Basenjis parents Ro-Dan's Red prairie and Ro-Dan's Debra. I don't know if that helps…
    I do have the AKC numbers for both of Otis' parents they both start with the letters HP, does that sound correct?
    I actually have the Registration Certf for both dogs in my possesion.
    Basenjimamma

  • Yes, that would be a correct AKC number starting with HP… like Kobey's number is HP25261501. Broken down, the HP252615 is the same for all the pups in his litter, there were three, the only difference is the 2 numbers at the end.. so if there are 3 pups in a litter they would all be HP252615 then 01, 02, 03 for each of the three pups.

    All but Red Cardinal are on Sally's site (if you seach by Ro-Dan) and interesting that Ro-Dan's Debra is again with strange registration numbers. Looks to be something that WeBeDoggies made up.... I just find it odd that they would not use the AKC registration numbers when they did the Fanconi test. Sally's site is http://www.pedigrees.zandebasenjis.com/search.html

  • I have been on there since we "posted' last and yes interesting, but it seems as if at least my Otis hopefully has the Fanconi thing ( and I don't mean that lightly) on his side. I have the same numbers on Ro-Dan's Debra, so I can't help anymore…sorry. What does this mean for my dog?

    You help lots… gave me some info for Sally to update her pedigree site.

    As far as Otis, really doesn't mean anything for him. I assume that he will be neutered, so enjoy your companion.

    With all the strange numbers being used for registration, if this were a breeding consideration, I would wonder maybe about the validity of the pedigree... which is another good reason for your peace of mind to do the DNA test for Fanconi on Otis.

  • just to reiterate, DNA test for fanconi is that the cheek swab test or does that require blood work? I have been on the website for the cheekswab test(can't think of the name right now, and the kids are killing each other so I don't have time to look it up), so I am doing that test, but don't know if I need to do bloodwork instead.

    You do NOT need bloodwork, only the cheek swab….

  • Ro-Dan's Cool Dazzle of Silk is the dam of a dog auction rescue I rescued in February 2001, MTF Dazzle of Silk. MTF Dazzle of Silk, call name Dazzle, was hit and killed by a car soon after adoption.

    I am surprised to see that this dog had a litter at almost 9 years of age and I found this on the internet:

    Dazzle ~ Basenji ~ Female ~ 10 yrs ~ Registered AKC/APRI~
    $FREE ($50 extra for papers)

    I've been a good mama for many years and now am looking for a new family. I am a rescue and have been an inside dog at one time, but it has been a while. I am very smart and love attention. I need to be the only female dog in my home.

    Why is a 10 year old B an outside dog? Because she is a former commercial breeding dog who according to these people is old and used up!

    The odd/strange registration number is the APRI register. I believe my rescue Dazzle may also have been APRI registered in addition to AKC. This registry is popular with the commercial breeders in the midwest but now they use just about any register, ACA, UABR, CKC-Continental Kennel Club. APRI sets up a booth at every auction at a specific dog auction house in MO. There is also a new registry for the Amish commercial breeders in OH.

    Here are some of the reasons that the dogs are not AKC registered. Some of the dogs are sold as breeding dogs, either via an auction or privately, and some are already non AKC registered and cannot be AKC registered, some are owned and/or sold by breeders who are AKC suspended, and some breeders dislike the AKC and in the past said that the AKC DNA test for frequently bred sires was too expensive. These idiots did not know the rule as the test was/is $40. AKC registered dogs must be microchipped to be sold at the dog auctions and in the early days some of these dogs were not microchipped so could not be sold as AKC registered. I also saw some AKC pregnant Bs sold at an auction and I do not think any of these future pups could be AKC registered since the owners did not know who the sires were.

    Ro-Dan's is Rosalie and Dan Elliott from MO, were USDA licensed commercial breeders. I had thought they had gotten out of breeding Bs but a few years ago I heard they still were.

    MTF s/b TMF is Terri Fitzpatrick from OK, is a USDA licensed commercial breeder. She still sells dogs at the auctions but is no longer breeding Bs.

    A USDA licensed commerical breeder/broker is licensed to breed and/or broker for the petstores. With the age of the internet, many of these breeders/brokers now will sell their pups on the internet. Some will sell to brokers first and then sell the leftover pups on the internet and some of these pups could be broker rejects with health issues such as luxating patellas, heart murmurs, etc.! The remaining unsold pups will often be sold as breeding dogs to other breeders and/or at the dog auctions.

  • Wow, that is a lot of information. What does this mean for my Otis?

    Basenjimamma

  • I was just giving you some background information regarding the relatives of your dogs.

    What I do find interesting is that the sire and dam of your dog are the only dogs out of their litters that are AKC registered. Probably all the others are APRI registered.

  • Thanks for the info, I too find that pretty interesting.

  • Tanza ,
    I am hoping you will read this as I have one more question/comment. I found some other numbers for some of Otis' grandparents and I don't know if they will be helpful sor Zande's website. They are on the papers I got from my "breeder (I use that lightly)" regarding the AKC registration on the Sire and the Dame. I see that the sire and the dames number start with HP, but these other numbers I have start with HM; AKC DNA #; and AKC… I, like I said don't know if these mean anything but wanted to run it by you.

    Thanks in advance, Petra

  • HM means the dog was probably born in 2000 or before, when AKC used all the HM numbers they started using HP and some have HN numbers.

  • Ok, so the numbers sound correct? I am just trying to get some info for myself and for Sally's directory (?).

    If you are seeing an AKC DNA# that is used for parentage. It was started as a mandatory program for "Frequesntly Used Sires" (BYB's and Puppymills) to verify parentage. At the time it was started, many BYB's and Puppmillers refused to comply with the requirement thus starting many of the other registration sites that you see listed on dogs. You can read about AKC DNA testing at http://www.akc.org/dna/index.cfm
    So, if you have pedigree on your pup and you go back far enough, usually you will find dogs that are/were AKC registered. As lvoss pointed out the HM in front of the number was last used for registration numbers by AKC around 2000.

  • Thanks for the info.

  • Yes, I have an HM98….. dog born Nov 2001. Then I have a HN01...... dog born Nov 2002. Then I jump to dogs with HP19.... born Nov & Dec 2005.

    If it's an AKC registration number, it will have 2 letters followed by 8 numbers. The first 6 numbers are the litter number, the last two are each individual puppy's number. (01, 02, 03, etc.) And I think all the hounds start with "H"?

  • Hey BF members,

    Does anyone remember this thread? Might be related? Possibly the breeder?

    Good memory…. and I would guess this is the breeder

  • You mean the breeder to my dog? that is correct.

    @etzbseder: Thanks, I've seen that before, but forgot about it. After looking at that, it shows that my answer would be: Clear pups ONLY means that neither parent is affected, and that does not change with multiple clear pups. The only thing that shows any determination of the parents is a test of the parent themselves (or if their grandparents are clear). correct. The more clear pups (with no affecteds or carriers) you had from the breeding of the same two animals, the more LIKELY it is that the parents are clear…but it certainly would not be a for sure.

    @Terry: I heard a rumor, wondered if anyone knows if it's true. The rumor was that an affected dog has been identified with 2 clear parents. Pat, I know you're usually up on this… Terry That seems to be the case, Lisa will most likely also chime in. They are now retest that dog along with his parents. As we all know there is always human error and the samples may have been mismarked. I have no doubt in the test (and I know that others will mostly likely use this as a way to discount the test), but I will stand on the over 1100 samples that have already been done and they all seem to be as they should. IMO and I have a sample that was most likely taken at the same time, that there was either a problem when the sample was sent in or there was a problem when the DNA was extracted. At the same time and the sample taken at the same time, there is another dog that is showing as Carrier from two clears… again that is being retested also...

    @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...

    Glad that you pointed that out and yes, sometimes UTI's are really hard to catch… so you are right, learning the symptoms for your dog is the key....
