    It was a long, long time ago…. way before the days of controlling breeding/health testing/screening buyers.... Responsible breeding has only really be around in the last 20/25 years (give or take) I believe that the Deckers used a few Basenjis back in the early 70's. Again, way, way before the time of real health testing/screening buyers/contracts with spay/neuter requirments

    Tania, perhaps you didn't notice that not only had the link and info for BRAT been given, but that the dog is already listed with BRAT? Glad to see other BRAT folks posting! I have a Rottie rescue group contact up in IN. Yell if you ever need transport help and I'll link the 2 of you up. Glad you found him a good home. You are doing the right thing. Hopefully your life in the future will be better designed for owning a dog.

    Pat, I always do try to find out. If they respond to me, I can "maybe" get some info. I feel that responsible breeders WANT to get back any b before it goes into rescue. So, I do try. Will let you all know, if I can.

    I have asked the BRAT coordinator to find another foster for Benji. This is just not a good situation for him. Lenny has decided he can not be here. I'm sad about this as I really want to help Benji, but not at the risk of someone, or a dog, getting hurt. It's not a good situation for anyone, especially Benji. I'm sure it's traumatic enough for him without having to be constantly onguard from the resident dog :(

    I can see if the shelter contacted us. Sometimes the shelters would prefer to place them themselves. They need the money. I will let BRAT know though.

    Most of my shelters call basenji rescue when they get a basenji in. That is because selling a basenji to a family who hasn't a clue to what they are getting, makes the dog come back to the shelter. They know basenji rescue is a good thing. I hope someone can get him out. Maybe they can send a family who has been screened to the shelter to adopt it out directly. That would be better then the dog being left in the shelter, imo.
