Question about getting results

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • I have sent Booger & Lola's cheek swabs in… I ordered the tests on November 20th, & I sent them back the day after I received them, so I think the lab probably got the samples the last week in November. Based on another thread I read here about Kiora's results, I'm expecting results in 2 weeks maybe. I'm a bit unclear about checking the results online, though... Will the results be posted on the OFA site or the CPP site or both?
    I'm just really anxious. I've been checking both sites daily.

    Results are not post on the CPP site and only uploaded about every month or two on the OFA site. You should receive an email directly to you with the results. Remember we are in the holiday season, so test results are bound to be running late/slow. You can always call or email Liz at UofMo (information for contacting her is on the forms).

    Oh thanks for clearing this up. Now I can stop worrying about checking the site. I somehow missed that they send an e-mail.

    This is worse than waiting for water to boil, that's for sure.

    I hear you… been there, done that.... and don't be afraid to call Liz.... can't hurt... every once in a while I have heard that the results were on the OFA site and no email was received (but could have been in spam mail).....

    Fingers crossed for you that all is OK...

  • With Nemo, the blood sample was received around 9/10, I got the email results on 10/14 and the hardcopy results around 11/20. The OFA site results appeared sometime after that. I hope you don't have to wait that long, I know it is stressful.

    I would recommend calling rather than emailing Liz if you have questions. It seems like they are pretty swamped and it takes some time to update things.

  • Thanks to you both! I'm thinking I might get results for Christmas this year, for better or worse.

  • when we did sent our samples in August, the machine for the bloodworks had a problem and was down a few days. I can tell you, that I was sitting here like on hot charcoals. But after I have called Liz and she told me about the problems with the machine, waiting was a bit more easy. We received a eMail with the results only a few days later and after one or two weeks later we received the Certificate with the results by regular mail.

    Regards,
    Esther

  • As long as his CPP registration got entered before they received the blood sample, you'll hear eventually. If there was a delay in the registration, the blood results won't be posted and you'll have to call Liz.

    And just because she can "chew" on the other side, food stuffs and bacteria can still get in through the bad tooth. Honestly, not something to put off….. the sooner the better

    @agilebasenji: I have a friend who has a nonbasenji dog that was just diagnosed with Fanconi. They (owner and vet) started the dog on the Gonto's protocal. (yea!) I know there is a Fanconi list, but did not know if it was open to just Fanconi affected basenjis or if other breeds were welcome. Also, is it a yahoo group? thanks It is a yahoo group and it is open to anyone with a Fanconi affected dog, or so I have been told.

    @basi: This is what I liked about the German system and many other countries in europe, being that all dogs have to be tested before they can be bred from. @tanza: Is the DNA Fanconi test reconized as a required test in those countries in Europe that require pre-testing? And it is really no different here… most have or are testing, but there are still people that do not and still have their heads in the sand about testing... I wish that all testing was public knowledge like the Fanconi test.... like hips, eyes, etc... Following more in depth from Basi, she is also meaning that in Germany breeders will recieve VERY hefty fines for breeding without the proper testing and permissions from the breed club. They can have their kennel license (of sorts) revoked, be denied from entering shows and registering dogs of their breeding or from other breeders). A dog has to be of a certain age, and received a set amount of show awards before it can be entered into the breeding permissions exam. Then a actual show judge and member of the breed club evaluate the dogs to be entered into the stud books.

    I know some breeds have raised water/food bowls so the dogs are "level" when they eat. Don't know if this will help here, but its worth a try.

    Puppies usually "blow" their baby coat after teething and the color fo the coat will change at time…. So yes their coats to change, but not a lot... just like some pedigrees have black masking aroung the face (muzzle and eyes) that will fade with age. Also on Basenjis, the white never changes size... so a big white spot will be much smaller when full grown. Looking at the picture of your Kona, I would say that the white between his eyes was almost the entire area between the eyes when born
