    Subject: BRAT-HELP: Found Basenji

    Hi, I found a Basenji this evening on my way home. The dog is fine here
    at my house but I'm hoping maybe you could put out some feelers in the
    Basenji community and see if someone is missing their pet? I found him
    in Spring, TX. He is a purebred male, around 4 years oldish, he is
    neutered, has excellent house, car & leash manners. He is clean and
    seems to be in good health. I took him by the vet and had him scanned
    but they couldn't find a chip. He was not wearing a collar but he does
    have a slight imprint around his neck like he does usually wear one.
    Thanks for your help!

    Where I am it costs about $2K+ for a dog from a breeder for just about any breed. Goldens may be less because the litters are so large. That may seem like a lot, but, as Debra mentions, dogs cost money to care for. After vet bills and boarding fees and food, it matters little what the dog cost to acquire. Leaving true puppy mills out of the discussion, given the costs of being a responsible breeder -- testing, vet bills, feeding -- and how much work breeding is, I can't imagine anyone doing it for the money. That leads to two problems for people looking for dogs. One is that since breeding isn't really lucrative, there aren't a ton of breeders, which means the supply of pups is low. Second is that most Basenji breeders want to place their pups in the best possible homes -- remember they aren't doing it for the money -- which means they're looking for people who have had Basenjis before. Something of a Catch-22.

    Always say, opposites are best... are these littermates? Even with opposites, many times littermates are a problem... as they competed as babies for everything.... and we say, it works till it doesn't... Is there a reason you want two of the same sex? and you need to be prepared that if they don't get along you will need to separate... I was very lucky but very concerned about the two bitches I got at the same time, 2wks in age apart... I looked at the temperament of both before deciding... and LUCKED out... I have one very confident bitch and one not.. but they have meshed well together with the confident bitch not concerned with being "top" in the house, she knows she is but doesn't need to prove it.... still it took till my one bitch had puppies to prove to me that she was OK in her skin and have remained friends since... even with her puppies. IMO (in my opinion) unless you are looking to breed at some point, not worth the chance... been the other route too... and it is NOT fun

    Oh Barklessdog, you are a brave person. I must now stand with you in insane-solidarity and admit I bought it too. It is awful but when you get the line "we couldn't say goodbye so we took him home" part, you know you got to help support the woman. lol

    Well, take care and get better. When you are up to it, the conversation can continue. For now, chicken soup, tea, lots of rest and follow doctor's orders.

    @khanis: Sorry you have to be ripped apart like a common backyard breeder. You have dogs with good breeding behind them… Common back yard breeder: has a pet (or breeding pair, gag) limited knowledge about genetics and testing no knowledge of pedigrees and thinks having any champions anywhere in the pedigree (champion bloodlines is how both BYB and puppymillers advertise such dogs who have ANY champions in last 4 generations) makes the dog worthy of breeding little to no health testing Sorry but this person, nice or not, is a common backyard breeder and frankly, quite a BIT less knowledgeable than most byb today. ONE HOUR on the internet reading and this person would have found both BCOA and health issues. This person either didn't GIVE A DAMN to research or is so utterly knowledgeable that he didn't even KNOW to try to read up on health issues. He seems to want to do right, but in this day and age, it is negligent that he didn't already read some basics on his own. If he has the ability to find this forum to ADVERTISE his puppies, he certainly could have found info before breeding. No one RIPPED this person. No one was harsh. But yes, this person is a backyard breeder. And considering the facts presented, I think everyone here was very nice because it really does seem this person is open to learning and doing things right. As for your outside raised dogs… glad you lucked out. Won't bother to show you studies indicating yours is not the norm. Perhaps the puppies owners spent massive time with them, which obviously compensates for them being outside. This person couldn't even be there for the whelping, for crying out loud. Your encouraging a novice owner to keep them outside when they truly need all the socializing they can get to compensate for lack of experience... well I find that a little alarming. I appreciate you think your dogs came out fine, but you probably got a pup from experienced owners who truly DID go the extra mile to make sure outside raised dogs got enough attention.

    Corky's sometimes uncurls when he's sleeping and sometimes when he is comfortable. I can always tell if he's really OK with someone. If his tail is uncurled, they're OK by Corky!
