    That's good.


  • 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? :confused:

    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.

    Ahh, i know who the owner is now. I remember the discussions about many peoples concerns of her taking on littermates.. Lets hope that was not the reason for this little one being rehomed.


  • From the ad that was posted, it is not the littermate that is the issue it is the basenji female she had gotten the year before that is having an issue having a second basenji female in the house. This is a frequent issue in basenjis and one reason why so many people on this list caution against same sex placements especially with inexperienced owners.

    Exactly… and you need to be careful when you bring a puppy into a house that has an adult... regardless of age... but the older they are, sometimes the harder it is to introduce them... and many are not made totally aware of the adult and the "training" that they will do with the puppy ... Many take this as they will never get along... not always the case... and you can never totally prepare anyone for the noises that can come from the adult to a baby puppy....


  • aww adorable! wish i was in the UK, hope the pup finds a home she can settle into.

    Cute pup. She has all the markings of a basenji. Sometimes a little mix of another breed in her is good. It will help with not having the genetic problems basenjis have.

    Last I heard, the Breed Club secretaries had more people waiting or wanting pups than were available . You could get on a list for a Basenji next winter but I very much doubt you will find one still unsold. Go to the website of the BCGB, or the Northern Basenji Society as you are in the North and you will find email addresses of the secretaries. They will put you in touch with breeders who may be planning a litter for puppies to become ready to leave the nest in about a year's time. Its a long wait I know, but you have most probably missed the boat for now. You are welcome to post me privately. Good luck!

    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

    That sounds exactly like benji…his ears stay folded back for awhile when we get home he's so excited. And he is the smartest dog I've ever been around also. He knows what alot of different words mean just by picking up on our conversations and he does quite a few tricks when he wants to as well. And he has to be with us constantly too. The breeder had named him Wyatt so you might remember his pics and I posted some also.
