It’s great that you’re doing your homework on the basenji. I think the reason you read all these “horror stories” is because they are not your typical dog. They are a beautiful and highly intelligent breed with a very strong prey drive. My Kembe is my first basenji but I was familiar with the breed because my brothers were basenji owners. I got her when she was 1years old - she was returned to the breeder by the previous owners. Kembe has never been destructive, she has free reign of our house, and I can leave her at home alone. It’s extremely important to exercise them regularly - especially exercise and stimulate their minds, and establish a routine (I can set my watch to my dog). They are definitely trainable - it scares me to see how smart she is and also well behaved. Basenjis are extremely lovable and hilariously funny. If I have a treat that my dog especially likes - she will do her whole “repertoire of tricks” without me even asking her. She dances to let me know it’s time to eat and will sit right next to me and hit me with her paw when she wants to go for her walk.
I think our basenji chose us - when we went to the breeders home to look at her - She jumped up next to my husband on the couch and curled up! I was sold on her! I really hope you find a basenji that right for you!

This little girl is looking for a new home
Someone just sent me the link as they thought i might be tempted :o But sadly I cant take her I thought i'd post this on here incase anyone else can. -
I wonder who bred her and if they know she is being moved on.

I was just going to ask that myself…... she is really cute
-
She is very cute:) I also wonder if the breeder has been notified:(
-
the owner is going to email me her details later

Must not look. Must not look. Must not look. :eek:
Surely the breeder (if decent) would take her back?

They should do but I have heard of a few basenji's where this doesnt happen

Can't be much of a breeder then. Poor pup.
How could anyone with any decency not be bothered about where their baby might end up? So sad. -
Coud it be a con?
Look at the picture, it's beside at least one other B, and it has issues with it?
Unless that's a breeders pic or something. -
I've just realised who has this puppy and also who bred it:rolleyes:
Both peeple are members on here.
It's one from this litter http://www.basenjiforums.com/showthread.php?t=8524

Hmmm. And who has the puppy just now? Poor thing, passed about from pillar to post and it's just a baby still.
-
How sad… It's a lovely pup, I hope she finds her forever home soon!
-
She's beautiful, i do hope she finds a good forever home with people who understand Basenjis.
-
Poor wee mite! No wonder most good basenji breeders are so thorough when they vet potential owners. I hope she finds a really good home soon.
-
Things can always go wrong with rehoming pups and sometimes they cant stay in their new homes, we had one lab puppy who had to come back to us when the owner broke her back - very sad situation for everyone concerned… But hopefully if the breeder of this baby didnt know their pup is being sold on they will read this thread and contact the owners to take it back.
-
I wonder what has happened to the littermate that she also has/had!!
-
It's awful when things don't work out. Lets hope this little girl finds a great home soon.

The advertiser is a member of this forum who seems quite a genuine person.
Unfortunately, the breeder (the link above) placed two puppies with her - I consider this was totally irrreponsible and taking advantage of a not very knowledgeable but kind person. I'll contact somebody who helped the breeder in the past and see if I can find out more.
If Katty reads this, perhaps she would like to get in touch with Basenji Rescue they may have a home for this puppy - in any case they would take over the responsibility.
-
I sure hope this sweet puppy finds a good home.
