    Debra what does that mean? Do you have something you'd like to share?

    Nampa, I fixed the typo

    I used the template to make the ad and left in their example

    Nampa is a town near Boise Idaho


  • @Patty:

    Can we see pictures please? :)

    Yes, Patty, photos , additional information, questions answered via email rmholt1@mindspring.com.


  • So I have 2 girls and one boy. One boy already tentatively spoken for. 3 weeks old today! Tails all curly as heck. (This is something to look for in Africans)


  • If there is health testing, why not share it upfront?


  • Removed my post


  • Why not post the health though?

    The not AKC I guessed had to do with breeding African stock that isn't accepted into the registry. Since I am not a breeder, not going to question that as really, I don't want to know lol. But again, why wouldn't she just post the health testing?


  • Anyone can go to the OFA website and search Avuvi to see what health testing has been done on dogs with that prefix. Since these dogs are Avuvis that should bring them up. If not, hopefully enough information to verify testing will posted.

    It is recommended that anyone interested in buying a puppy use the OFA website to verify health testing.


  • Sorry, Quercus, there is some debate as to the real "basenjiness "of these puppies.
    They might be african, but if they are b's they have NOT been accepted by the folks who allow new basenji blood into the BCOA.
    Sorry Marie, I know you want to do what you want to do, but if many folks opionions, your breeding african dogs.

    I know Sharron. I have seen this all evolve from the beginning :) That is why I described the breeder as "unorthodox" :)


  • @DebraDownSouth:

    removed…changed my mind.....


  • NOPE, I have to disagree. Health testing is upfront and out there.
    Not disclosing is a RED flag.


  • I guess I never want to make anyone work to find out if I have tested, or wonder.

    Health testing: Whatever I have done through OFA is on there. As for other tests and health issues, any serious potential buyer will get all the info I have to give. What they do with this info is up to them. I am not a show breeder and right now not an AKC breeder, have had a UKC litter but lagging on the registrations. My market is not the same as some other resposible breeders. I am looking for appropriate homes for great (and healthy) dogs from Benin West Africa. Some are UKC, some may be submitted for AKC in order to help the domestics, but that is a side project. The BCOA is behind in areas on familial disease particularly in the DLA area, ie genetic diversity, MHO. Some diseases are fairly common but not talked about unless someone asks specifically about it. So a BCOA blessing is not state of the art. Additionally there are no tests for most disorders. A full battery of tests doesnt guarantee against serious disease. So when you get these results for your prospective pup you also deserve to find out about other issues.

    My Fanconi test on Apollo is Prob Neg but I have been told there was a mixup in that batch so I have to resubmit. If you just looked at OFA you would think he had been definitively tested. Macho and Apollo IIRC have had their hips done which were Excellent. The pups are almost ready to have their hips done, but I do question the idea of spending a lot of money on this test. OFA okays breeding down to the FAIR level. That isnt very selective and includes almost every dog in the registry. We have small fit dogs with low likelihood of hip problems even in their inbred state, even if they score FAIR. So I might wait til I get a job and not dig into my retirement (I was laid off June 2009) to get this done by age 2. My contract covers all contingencies I can think of and any the customer thinks of. I have been a little scrambled becoming a breeder WAY before I wanted to (long story) and this is my first planned litter. Meanwhile I have been in MD looking for Macho and looking for a job. This breeding was done for a person with another Benin dog who wants to breed without inbreeding so it works out for both of us. I need to find good homes for the "extra" 3 dogs.

    I will verify that I am behind in Fanconi testing to be corrected as soon as the kits get here. I will tell you that all the imports are PK normal.

    Apollo and Camacho (sic) were mistakenly entered by their call names (spouse means well) so if you are looking for hips or other tests you might not find them under Avuvi.

    No one has to work to find out the health issues but I am limiting all information to serious buyers in order to limit needless exposure of these dogs to erroneous speculation which I then have to answer. I dont have time, or interest, to be honest, to rehash this debate yet again. Anyone who wants to know and is serious can email me. If you presume I dont have what you want, then you wont be emailing me and we can save each other some time. All these debates are in the archives of several groups.

    I should add that the puppy prices are gauged to help me finance puppy health testing that is usually not required for the nonbreeding pet owner. This is for the Avuvi project. I think the price barely covers these tests. They are also bargain priced for not being AKC and in some cases UKC. This matters very little in my area, but I am a motivated seller who wants to find the right homes. These are special dogs and need someone who will be a good companion for and appreciate the dog.

    Email me privately - address in websites on signature block, but I warn you - Covid has brought Basenji would-be puppy owners out in droves and the few breeders who are having a litter this winter have full waiting lists. Two breeders I know have started on a list for the winter of 2021, inviting prospective owners to meet and become acquainted with Basenjis. I have emails from several people who have already put themselves onto the Rescue waiting list. . . in case a Basenji turns out to be too much once (if) restrictions are lifted. Anyway - we are once more in full Lockdown - and I am just praying they don't close the carparks to the (porous) woods again like they did last time, leaving loads of us scrabbling for a parking spot on the main road close to one of the holes into the forest.

    Breeding once a year actually is not a problem health wise. Breeding to produce pets for income… not so much.

    @sharronhurlbut: Pat, I am not a "fan" of low cost spay/neuter places either…BUT IMO, they are less of a risk than having an intact basenji placed in the general public. I will post an article I just received re pet owners and getting their pets fixed in my next post. Re this note, to me, having the dog fixed at one of these places is the lesser of 2 evils. Yeah…what she said!

    @dwilliams: Sorry for inconvenience-Updated website profile, accidently lost half while doing so, but her number is HP31186401- I guess My mishap has lead to paperwork being too recent to show up. And meant to respond to this earlier, depends on who they go to and specifics on spade/neuter & AKC 'limited'. Was this a planned breeding? Only reason I ask is that she is pretty young (only 1 1/2yrs) to be bred. And thanks for the AKC number. You might want to send the information to Sally for the pedigree site, since seems she is not there yet. Who is her sire and dam? http://www.pedigrees.zandebasenjis.com/search.html

    @bellabasenji: It all boils down to what is better for the (so called)"breeders" wallets!!!:mad: UUuuugh… BYB's & millers!!!:mad: That is true, a pure for profit breeder is not going to spend money on health testing that is going to cut into their bottom line. They will do as little testing as they can do and still sell puppies. Educating as many people as possible to demand health testing for both parents is the best thing that we can do for the breed. There will always be some who want a puppy "right now" and won't care but the more people we can educate the smaller the market for puppy mill dogs because really most people do want to do the right thing and want a healthy puppy that will be a long lived companion.
