@jengosmonkey - Correct depending on his conformation... it that and movement met the standard then yes.... years ago a friend had a black & white Male that was about 30lbs and was about 19 to 20" tall... he finished his championship. Chances of the "Neuticles" being discovered most likely would have happened, however. It had been tried in other breeds.... one was with a Golden that only had 1 testicle so they had one neuticle implanted when the pup was about 8 months... funny thing about testicles... sometimes can come down at the most inopportune times... image the judge when did his exam and discovered "3" testicles....LOL Opps! by the way the dog and the owner & handler were DQ.
Questions before I get my Basenji pup!
-
I didn't have him in a crate. I had him in a portable pen in another room to sleep, but he has been perfect on pottying outside so I let him sleep with me last night and he slept all night and then pottied right when I took him out this morning!
Pen/crate same thing really…. however don't be surprised for set backs....but most will sleep through the night when you let them sleep in bed...:)
-
The test has only been in existence for 4 yrs, before that, none of us knew whether our dogs were carriers or not.
Thats right,.. I keep forgeting that that was so recently…..

mary beth weiss is a back yard breeder her adult female annie is ckc not akc and was was purchased from a puppymill
mary beth has not tested for fanconi beyond strip testing (or so she says)
when i contacted her she knew almost nothing about fanconi called it doggie diabetes and said that symptoms didnt show up until a dog was quite oldmary beth weiss does nothing but use these dogs to make money selling puppies then gets rid of them she has had her 3 adults listed on kiji for months at a low price selling them as "breeders"
she will not be taking back any puppies from any buyer as she has a limit of 3 dogs where she lives

She is very mellow easygoing, she loves contact and must be with me or my girlfriend always. She is crazy smart and sweet also … She can do a few tricks... If there is food... If SHE wants to. And she is starting to howl when we come home after she is done going nuts, n her ears stay folded back from excitement. I have a few pix up on a thread called Athena has arrived, and when I get others re sized I'll put them here
-
Here are some of her… i dont know what puppy you got but i saved a few of the pix from the breeders ad's most were taken down but i saved all we could, like the last pic, its around when they were 8 weeks or something like that
-
That sounds exactly like benji…his ears stay folded back for awhile when we get home he's so excited. And he is the smartest dog I've ever been around also. He knows what alot of different words mean just by picking up on our conversations and he does quite a few tricks when he wants to as well. And he has to be with us constantly too. The breeder had named him Wyatt so you might remember his pics and I posted some also.
