    @Randy: We're in Cedar Falls with our 2, Franklin and Eleanor. I introduced ourselves in 2009, and then promptly forgot about it. I need to get better about being on this forum, obviously! Franklin was just diagnosed with low thyroid; we think he's about 7 yrs old. Have you had a basenji before? Low thyroid is pretty common in Basenjis (and many other breeds). Easy to control with Soloxine

    Zorro was the same. He would sulk when I would put him outside and stay at the door and whine. When I let him in he would just wait until I wasn't looking or when he couldn't hold it in anymore and go. Sometimes you could tell that he knew he was bad because there was a long trail of pee following him… hahaha My boyfriend and I realized we had to go outside with him and walk him. Even though we wanted to be outside as much as he does!! He is so miserable outside that he goes pretty fast!!

    Since you posted on your other post where you got your pup, do you know if the sire and dam were DNA tested for Fanconi or if Halo has been? Please learn about Basenji health concerns at www.basenjihealth.org

    @annyaa: um not that I know of, what is it exactly. And I will contact the breeder tonight and ask her. Please go to www.basenjihealth.org This is very, very important, especially if you have been following the thread of Isis that was just sent over the rainbow bridge from Fanconi… please seach the boards about Fanconi and testing
