Basenji Health Issues & Questions

    Hi everyone!
    I've a question about colour genetics of basenji.
    I have read that Agouti Locus give red (ay ay or ay at) and tricolour (at at), and K locus is black dominant.
    But which the fula black gene is?
    I have read that some breeds (sheltie, german shepherd) have an "a" recessive that in two copies give a black dog without black parents.
    Is it the gene of fula?
    Are there specific researches or documents about fula black genetics and, in general, basenji colours genetics?
    Thanks at all.

    Wili-which is Bluestones Ubora Wili Duara. His mother was bred to a brindle, I believe. Johnny's mother (Dalji's Damisi Dhati A Duara was bred to Bluestones Wild Buckwheat (which is the brother of Wili's mother).

    Hi, No I am not a doctor, just a head over heels in love with my basenji lady. She is my walking buddy & my lap warmer :) I am going to the Vet today for her thyroid meds…I will keep you'all posted on the results. I so hope those ears turn pink, the rash on her tummy goes away & the eges for her ears stop bleeding. ss

    Thanks! I see what you mean, I was mixing up my terminology…native versus foundation dog...and I meant foundation. Zoni gets her black from Miliku on the Jerlin side.

    The 'Fula tris' expression is not normally stern in my opinion. The hardness in some Basenji expressions often comes from the eye colour - lighter eyes seem stern I think, especially if very light. I'll try to remember to bring a photo to the next show (please excuse if I forget though - I've got a lot to deal with at present). I do agree with you that melon pips can soften expression though.
