i would like to breed him to have puppies from him. not for money but i know a few people that would puppies from him. and i have told them i know nothing of his back ground other then the names if the 5 generation of him. and that i would have to get him tested for some health problems to see if he has then!. why do you breed your basenji's!?
As already stated, responsible breeders bred to improve the breed.

Hey Pedro,
Hopefully these links below can help make dog shows a little more understandable…at least what the judge is looking for. I'm not a breeder but I've been doing dog shows for less than a year now, and it definitely a lot more confusing from the outside looking in. I do it for the fun, it's a good bonding experience for me and my dog, and also keeps her socialized around other people and dogs. To give you an idea what the judges are looking for, here are some links regarding the breed standard that people have been talking about (if this has been posted before, i apologize, I'm getting lost in all the related threads).
This is an excerpt from a well know book which is an interpretation of the breed standard, that I think is helpful for the beginner (definitely was helpful for me). Unfortunately, the excerpt does not have a lot of non-ideal examples to compare too but you can get some idea.

This is the actual standard. This is what defines what a basenji is (appearance and structure) and what breeders strive towards in their breeding program. This is what the judge is thinking about in a dog show when he/she is looking at the dogs.
http://www.basenji.org/Basenji%20Standard/Index.htm
If you look over this and compare your basenji and other basenjis to it, it will help develop your "eye" for the breed…which IMO probably takes a number of years to be able to truly appreciate all the nuances.

Zahra's results came in today and she is Probably Carrier of Fanconi Syndrome. Since she is a pet store dog I was sure the results were going to come back that she was affected but I am so happy that she is just Probably a Carrier. It has been a stressful month waiting for the results to come back. but I am so happy! :)
I'm so happy for you and Zahra!

I think she is referring to the link of the breed standard I posted.

It is typically recommended that it is best to male/females rather then two males or two bitches. Obviously if male/females they are both spayed/neutered…. as accidents happen.
