Basenji Rescue

It appears that this boy is still available and the shelter has posted better pictures of him. He is a nice looking brindle mix! http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/16880476 Jennifer

Great. Thanks, hope he finds a good home.

Demitrius from KS/MO has been adopted but it looks like the other two-from KY and OH are still available! Jennifer

Superb - so good to hear this news!

I have finally posted pictures of Bambi on her Petfinder website. I kept having trouble this past week. http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/17056569 Jennifer Hill Jen's Rescue

Has anyone e-mailed the seller to find out what these dogs have been used for? Were they breeding dogs and where did they live? Is there anyone with experience with these types of dogs that could take a look at them and lives closer? Does anyone know their pedigree or at least sire and dam? They are of the age that Fanconi usually strikes. I am concerned since breeding season is coming up and it looks like they all live in the same kennel. I find this unusual but perhaps the owners do not have a lot of kennels.

Some of the pups are leftover from the winter season but I noticed that there were some that were from a summer litter. There were some breeders in Southern OH-mostly CKC-Continental Kennel Club registry but I think they may have gotten out of the business as they sold some of their dogs to an Amish breeder/dealer. He sold 6 of his male pups a few years ago and they went into rescue. One tested probably Fanconi affected. Earlier this year, there were some Bs that were listed for sale at the Amish auction in OH. I did not attend this auction so I do not know if they were actually sold. There is a breeder in Gallipolis as I just saw the ad-rare colors, barkless, inside or outside dogs, shedless, CKC-which I assume means Continental Kennel Club. I do not know of any other BYBs in OH and I am not sure if any Amish breeders still have Bs. The number of USDA licensed breeders/dealers in OH has increased dramatically since about 2003. The inspection reports are now available online. I believe the best way is to do a google search on animal care and it should bring up the USDA website. You will need to search under Publications Reports and Updates and then it is under Reports. You can also search for the lists of the facilities in the same area. It is not an easy website to find information.

Doesn't much look like a Basenji to me

Well, he is in a Basenji rescue so he stands a pretty good chance. -Joanne

The cities that I knew that the breeders were located are Spiro, Stigler, and Keota OK. Lisa Akins is in Spiro. Sheila Maxwell is in Keota. I met someone at an auction that was from Stigler.

Yes you can. From the same computer I vote once each using "Safari", "Firefox" and "Chrome". Joanne

I did ask the shelter about Daisy (at least she has a name now), she is 26 pounds and about 4 years old, I didn't learn much else other than she doesn't have much time. -Joanne @dcmclcm4: Is there anyone who could see this B Mix to determine if she is actually a B or perhaps a Shiba Inu? It is not a good picture as it appears that it was taken when she was in a truck cage/kennel. This shelter used to have a reputation of not being very good.

Kathryn, I am so happy to hear that they are home again..I am glad you have the opportunity to take them back, and yes wouldn't it be lovely to put rescue "out of business"? Hope all goes well for all of you, keeping you in my thoughts.

Yea for him! Boo for me! We were going to look at this guy. Was hard to tell much about him from the closeups.

Robyn, THANK YOU for the update! Do you have any leads on the needed kennel? I have several friends near Atlanta that may be able to help out… another thought: do you think the Atlanta news station would carry the story? ;) I am so glad you are dedicated to these lovely dogs. Patty.

@BendaTXBRAT: Where else was it posted? I wasnt aware of it, and want really sure in which category to post this in. I can add the info there as well if you will point me in the right direction. thanks http://www.basenjiforums.com/showthread.php?t=9377

i just hope that cute face doesn't land her with the wrong owner.
