    Thanks for the warm welcome! Stella is from Dee's Basenjis in Beeville,Texas. She attended her first puppy training class Sunday. I couldn't believe she wasn't the worst behaved pup there. We had a basenji once before. She lived 14 years as a little princess! You all know how that is, I am sure. It's been almost 2 years since she left us, so we thought we were ready for another dog. We looked at several breeds, but we always came back to a basenji. I guess once they have your heart, they always have your heart. Thanks again for the welcome and I will work on getting those pics up.

    Since not many who are not BCOA members have done the testing, I am guessing that your animals does not come from Fanconi tested stock so please get some blood drawn and send it in to the Fanconi project. It will be important for you to know if you need to take any action early on should she be affected.

    We are definitely going to have Stella tested. I know the earlier the better. I must say, it is obvious that the people on this forum truly love this breed.

    Well we always wish that people would ask us what to look for before they buy a dog as many times we have good solid information about breeders that are less than reputable and it's much easier to share that up front than after you have your baby in your lap.

    You will also want to talk to your vet about HA because many commercial kennels kept breeding stock that had not been tested and were carriers.

    So many people think us show kennels are just for show dogs and since I don't want to show I'll just get one from this back yard breeder or 'pet' breeder - when really the issues we care about are the dogs life.

    Good luck with your baby I'm sure you will enjoy her.

    Hi Jill, You mentioned before that we probably live near each other. I just learned here where you aquired Duke! Wow! Was the other pup a black and white? I was initially attracted to the red and white which Joey is, but have seen some beautiful b/w. I doubt we would ever get another dog but it's fun to think what is might be like to have 2 Bs. Perhaps some day we could meet in a park to walk the dogs. Joey is 11 months and not neutered yet. He is tolerant of all dogs and aloof. We met his sister, Tory, who was taken at 8 wks and she is nasty! She snarled,"barked", etc at her brother and he just looked at her like she was crazy! We all laughed! Tory's mom is a friend of mine and how I found Joey. Send me a private email if you are interested. I'm sure I could learn a lot from you.
