NOUNO the Basenji


  • Yes, pictures please!


  • As above we love pictures and naughty basenji stories to compare. They grow soooo fast enjoy your pup Nouno.
    What a lucky Basenji to be in a sunny country, we are envious as it's winter here and yucky wet windy and cold.

  • Hi guys and thank you for your replies! I am trying to upload some pictures but apparently the size is to large. Do you have any suggestions?


  • This is from last week. However I am trying to get a good quality picture to upload but I cannot:p

  • Very cute, welcome. Were his parents (or him) DNA tested for Fanconi?


  • His parents are also in Cyprus. His mother is 4 years old. Did not have any problems. His father is 2 years old and also did not have any problems. Not yet. Is too expensive as I have to send all the test to the USA. But I will get through with it as long as I am able to.


  • Just be aware Fanconi can show up at different ages, please if you haven't already researched the disease take the time to as it is a horrible one and there is help out there for affected dogs improving their quality of life.

  • Fanconi, if found and care taken early, can be annoying but your dog's health maintained for a good life. If not found until damage, it is utterly devastating. Ask if the parents were tested. If they were tested and one can show you a clear, then your dog is probably okay. If not, testing is critical.

    I love the reds. Congrats on your new family member!

    I mostly agree, however, not all Basenjis do well with the treatment, so depends on the Basenji as to how it will effect the quality of life

    Age that Fanconi can show up is from usually 3 years all the way till over 10 years

    I have to go read your link, but having been called to the shelter to see a chow that was an overweigh pomeranian, a rottweiler that was a lovely hound dog (Rottie rescue in FL told me keep quiet, they knew it wasn't a rottie but had a good home so just get it. I expected a LITTLE Rottweiler looking... bahahaha, no.)... vets who thought our basenjis were so many other things, not much surprises me.

    If you click on the last icon with the arrow up icon, you can upload photos. They need to be in JPG format I think.
  • I think I have a Basenji!

    It sounds like a contact allergy to me. The dog's stomach is touching something it is allergic too. Like Ruth said, grass or weeds that may (or may not) have chemicals on them. The fabric of your couch or type of carpet you have Cleaning products used to clean carpets or floors Fabric softeners, dryer sheets, or laundry detergents used on the dog's bedding or other items the dog is frequently in contact with. Topical flea products used on the dog And the list goes on I do not trust a vet who wants to hand out drugs and medications without attempting to find out the cause of the medical problem. I would recommend going to a holistic vet that will help you get to the root of the problem.
