@zande said in Extra Long Heat in Young Unbred Basenji:

Dogs don't have to be registered by their national authority, be it AKC, KC, CKC, RKF, KUSA or any other - to be in the database. The intention of the database is to show a history of the Basenji. This is why I encourage 'fun' photos as an alternative to show poses.

Well then, count me in when I get a chance to come up for air. Flying with Feebs (in the cabin) on Monday from Costa Rica to the USA. Once we get settled I'll find your link again and add her name and lineage.

Thanks again for all your comments and support. Big help and we can all use help getting through puberty. Wish I'd had a support group when I was doing it. 🤣 😂 🤣

And chances are that your vet will tell you that there is no test.
Just because it has been available for nearly two years does not mean that they know it is now here.

You can do the fanconi tests without seeing a vet at all. Finger's crossed both your Bs come back NOT affected.

OK, so apparently the new user CP with messages cant be used to give out an email, so I will try again another way. Maybe Alex will be able to get my emails, he's had quite a few problems with my emails in the past. and I don't want another infraction.

On a side note, what is the point of being able to talk with all sorts of people online if you can't talk to them outside of a forum?

Perm records for hips/elbows are after 2yrs of age, so Oakley is too young. Some do Prelims but that is usually in the case of a male that is going to be used at stud before 2yrs. Keep in mind for hip and/or elbow results that unlike Fanconi testing it is Optional to post the results if they are not Excellent, Good or Fair - Owner option.. same with Thyroid. There is a place on the forms to mark if you want the results posted regardless of the outcome. Many people DO NOT CHECK this box… therefore if the dog is dysplastic, the results are not shown. So read that into the results.... and I know of Dysplastic Basenjis that are NOT in the data base.

That said, hips are not a huge concern as in other breeds, but there are problems out there....

IMO, I would have the hips done... elbows, would not worry about that too much...

Sedated? Depends on your Vet... some Vets will do without, some will not do hips without. My two girls were just done, both without, we have a mobile Vet that does testing and they go to most all the shows, makes it really easy and no sedation. I have had both ways done on my Basenjis over the years.

I had a feeling that he would at least be a carrier because his father is. I'm so glad to know that he's not affect, and it's good news for his mother too.
