    I'll chime in on the full vet work up and the seizure diary too. Our first Basenji had seizures his entire life - his first was at 6 weeks old. He lived to be 16 years old and was never on medication for the seizures. In fact, our vet told us, "The meds are actually more for the owner than the dog. They don't truly 'stop' the seizures. But the owner feels better." And the side effects of most of the commonly prescribed anti seizure meds can be pretty bad, especially if the dog is on them for a long time. Terry

    @Patty: I just peeked too, and she is precious, that's for sure! They look like such angels when they are puppies that they really do look like babies. :) It's that innocence that captures our hearts and will later make us question our insanity, lol. Welcome to the Forum! This is so true @thunderbird8588: Hi re Fanconi, if you go onto the http://www.offa.org website you should be able to see the status of Cheyenne's sire and dam and hopefuly the pups too. You could also ask the breeder if the pups have been tested but the reccomendation is to check yourself as well on the ofa site. I will be looking into it. I am at work so I will have to check when I am out of work.. got the site saved looking to get all the info I can before she comes home.

    MacPack, where is Dogwood Park located? I haven't heard of it. I live in Orange Park and we have a fairly nice one here several miles from me. They too have a large pond and wooded area and plenty of seats, even a few hammocks for us humans. We have had a membership in the past; now we only go sometimes as a visitor.
