Thank you for the input eeeefarm, that is exactly what I'm planning to do once ive done some more research.i have been around many different breeds of dogs over the years but never owned one myself so I have a fair bit of knowledge about most breeds and I would never put my children in harm's way or any dog for that matter. If I'm not as sure as I can be about my family's ability to love,look after and train a dog we won't be having one. This is why I got onto this forum to gather as much information from owners (like your good self) and others who have bothered to read my message properly,as I can before we go ahead and take on a very large commitment.
Looking for Adult Male Basenji
-
We currently have a beautiful 2-year-old purebred basenji female and we're looking for a male to add to our family. We live in Las Vegas NV and are hoping to find one within driving distance (AZ, UT, CA etc) so that they can meet.

Contact your local breed clubs for help finding adult dogs that their reputable breeder members need homes for. Copper State Basenji Club, https://azbasenjis.org/; South Coast Basenji Fanciers, https://www.facebook.com/SoCalBasenjiFanciers; Basenji Club of Northern California (BCONC), https://www.facebook.com/norcalbasenjis. Use the Basenji Club of America breeder directory to contact the breeders listed for adult dogs, https://basenji.org/index.php/about-basenjis/breeder-directory. Do not use the AKC directory as there are several extremely disreputable breeders who advertise there. If you are reasonably Basenji experienced, apply to be a foster volunteer for BRAT. Many Basenjis in foster homes never make the adoption page because they are adopted by their foster family. https://www.basenjirescue.org/Volunteer.asp

@drjuliana you should see an avatar circle in the upper right hand corner... yours is purple with a white D. Next to it is a little cartoon quote bubble. Click on that. A drop down menu will pop up that allows you to access any open chats.
