Yes that was my thought too were are the hips and how can eyes be negative meaning negative of what??And where they checked by an eye specialist and were the hip x-rays sent to the orthopedic board that reviews them and if so why didn´t she show were you could read about it at OFA you have to ask for the proper paper work and check that it´s legit.And has she promised to buy back the puppy no matter what or are you signin away that part?
I know you´re are so eager to get a puppy but take a deep breath and think hard is she just telling you what you want to hear.
I don´t know she sounds strange every time when pushed she produces magically these documents and answeres that fit and make you feel safe.
She certainly knows the human psyche ;) -
I am with Lisa and Pat, there is definitely still some info missing.
Regarding UnderCover Basenjis having fanconi in their lines, yes of course there is. Almost all responsible breeders have fanconi in their lines and have bred carriers and affecteds. Remember until a couple years ago it was a total guessing game. And yes, she realized unfortunately before the test came out that Jack was a carrier. I have a clear Jack son. Jack was a big part of the research that helped create the test. Since the test came out there are 56 UnderCover dogs that have been tested for fanconi. And Gale has personally paid for quite a few of those who are not her own dogs. I think she has tested any and all dogs of her breeding that are intact, whether or not there are any plans of being bred. She has tested whole litters as well. She cares very much about her puppies and I'm sure she'd be happy to talk to you if you have any concerns.
If you look at many of the popular sires breeders have used over the years, you'll see a lot of carriers and affecteds.

I wanted to let everyone know how grateful I am for all your opinions and advise and to make sure you all know I am trying as hard as I can to get the best puppy for our family and cover all my options. Thank you all very much!!

No I have no concerns I knew that there was a lot of talk over here about Jack also Myrans dad was a big topic when he arrived in sweden luckily the test came and he was cleared of all rumours that were flying around.His mum was Undercover Caitlan also as he had a JS sire there were issues but now people aren´t afraid to use them thanks to the test.
Myran is a mixture of JS,Undercover and Wazazi same is Efia and if you looked at my postings i´m very proud of my doggies and their bloodlines:)
We are a smaller country and therefor our basenji population is under hard scrutiny either one follows the club guidelines or you end up sitting with your whole litter unsold and everyone knows about each other.Finland has even harder health rules then us. -
Thank you! I didn't know anyone on here knew about Joy's litter. Thanks for your personal experience and advise! Its nice to know someone who knows of the breeder personally besides my Mother Show friend! Thanks

I wanted to let everyone know how grateful I am for all your opinions and advise and to make sure you all know I am trying as hard as I can to get the best puppy for our family and cover all my options. Joy has put in contract that she is willing to give a full refund and take the puppy back at any age as well as pay for any illness vet bills for the first six months (because she is a friend thru my family) but since we are military we have a free Vet, which is kinda nice!! :) As of now we are still contacting breeders you have referred us too, but we are still interested in our Baby Boy. I guess now I am just waiting on the Fanconi results. But unless either parent is affected, we are going to buy her boy. Thank You ALL so VERY much for all your help in our puppy needs!! I cannot express how glad I am to have such a trustworth and friendly forum here to give us aid, laugh with us and also provide a shoulder to cry on in hard times!! Thank you all very much!!
Since you have made your decision with this breeder, why would you not buy the puppy even is one parent is affected? Breeding to a clear would give all Carriers, but none that would get Fanconi?
-
I meant not just a carrier. Sorry, I should have made that clear. And sorry i did mix up the names…lol. My bad! :)

Thank You!
