    BCOSW has a beautiful, older tri girl in foster care, looking for a forever home.
    Pearl is 6-9 years old, is very sweet, and would do best in a home with no kids and no other dogs.
    If anyone contacts you looking for an older basenji, please keep Pearl in mind.
    We don't know much about Pearl's history other then the fact that she was found running with another basenji on a Farm in rural WI.
    Pearl may have been a former show dog, as she is quite a looker, and gaits and stacks on the table like an old pro.
    Pearl is spayed, up to date on vaccines and HWT and is microchipped.
    You can find her on petfinder at: http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/17594607

    and can see some videos of her at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbQdjMJrP-c&feature=player_embedded

    Nicole, she is beautiful! I hope Pearl can find a forever home… what happened to the red girl? :)

    @Patty:

    what happened to the red girl? :)

    We separated them, and Ruby found her forever home with the family that was fostering her.

    I was hoping they would get to stay together but I'm glad Ruby has a forever home. I hope Pearl finds one soon. A couple months back when the original "finder" of Ruby and Pearl had the ad in craigslist I called about them but the man said someone from rescue had just picked them up.

    We kept them together for quite a while, then did a trial separation, and found that they actually did better without each other around, especially Ruby.

    Together, they did not need to come round to people. Apart, they blossomed, and developed into their own individual personalities, and are very sweet.

    Ruby is in a great home with kids, and a Boston terrier. She has a yard. She gets read to at night, and is a real cuddlebug with her new family.

    Now if we could just find as great a family for Pearl.

    So happy to hear Pearl has a new home - the people on this site, and the rescue groups that frequent it, are so warm-hearted and helpful when a B needs to find a new home. It's uplifting to read about these things happening with so much garbage going on "out there"

    @Quercus: I wasn't actually referring to dogs that are affected, but indentified as carriers. I was remember a discussion that occurred very early on in the testing, that some carriers may have some 'bleed thru' of the 'guilty' gene, and spill sugar very late in life. And Dr. Johnson wasn't sure if it was due to regular old age kidney changes, or some sort of genetic explanation. It is very possible that that is very old information, and no longer accurate…but it wasn't the case of inaccurate testing at all. Good information about testing carriers monthly, though. I didn't realize that, and I haven't been doing it...guess I need to start again.. I have never heard of anyone talking about "bleed thru" or what that is supposed to me. A dog cannot spill sugar [as in fanconi] without having two mutant genes. Which would then mean that the dog is affected. And to make sure it is understood, the two girls that were actually affected did NOT have inaccurate testing. Nothing happened at the lab or at home. The dogs DNA actually shows that they are carriers. Remember this is the linkage test, and not a direct test. With the recent equipment purchase and plan of some more testing, they wre able to narrow the 'possble' genes down to 1/3 of what they were planning to look at…so hopefully more info is forthcoming soon. It is good to know this girl will be getting a great home! Good luck with her!

    HOORAY!!! So glad to hear that you have Pearl back safe and sound! I second the thought though, change locks and get a restraining order - and don't leave little Pearl outside unsupervised… Terry

    I will forward this to BRAT, but BRAT doesn't pay for dogs…if the shelter wants to release her to BRAT, I am sure they can help her. But thank you for letting me know. I will send this on asap.

    @Janneke: I thought exactly the same.. But.. I think I mentioned this before in another thread: Our former queen had a basenji :D [image: KoninginJulianametBasenji-1.jpg] And there she is! Z'hara was she called i believe? If I have to explain wich breed I own, I say often, like our queen did years ago.. But only the older people respont to that as "oooowww yes I know, a little not barking dog!" A mix would be good for the white house, but no pure bred… just because there are so many people who buy a dog just for having the same as him... :( And a basenji? thats not a dog for everyone....
