@Knipper:

I was lucky enough to have found a vet with Basenji experience. She has new vets in her practice, so Blaze became the first basenji patient for one of them a few years ago.
What kept me at that practice was the encouragement to bring in information and that everyone, including the practicum students, wanted to discuss and learn. I would rather have a vet willing to openly ask for information and discuss it with you, than a vet who just had Basenji experience.
I made that mistake with my horse and it cost her her life.

Good advice thank you.

I had a good one in Newburg, NY, he served all 6 of mine. I will check with some friends in the NYC area.

Thank you so very much that would be great.

@Janneke:

I sometimes wonder why a vet has to be experienced with Basenjis. They are 'just' a breed of dogs and no vet starts with being experienced with every breed.. You have to give them some time to learn

Very true but I don't my baby being their guinea pig (no insult to guinea pigs intended) I'm just over-protective first time dog parent.

I live in the New York City area and have yet to meet one person who has a Basenji. I've taken my little girl, Sasha, she's 2 1/2 to two different vets but I feel like I'm not getting her the best care because they don't really know anything about her breed other than what they've learned in books. Anyone know of any vets in NYC that have treated other Basenji's?
