Hello from Snowy Upstate NY

To the OP, I know you said the breeder you talked with had pups but they were out of your price range. In general in the Northeast I think you should expect to pay $900 - $1000 for a basenji puppy from a responsible breeder.
I second this one!

Welcome from Western NY!

Thank you everyone for your encouraging words and suggestions. I did try Hounds of Timar and although Jean said they have puppies, they many not be available for sale and won't know for at least a few more weeks. I have another prospect that I'm waiting to hear on, a little girl red and white and I just hope and pray it all works out and I can get her. I'm just waiting for the owner to get back to me. It would mean so much to me if I can get this little girl.

I'm in Rochester, NY and I actually have a deposit on the litter that Jean currently has. I am not sure what the availability is but I know that this litter is all boys, if you were still looking for a girl. She co-bred with Kyle C. at Kaleonahe Basenji's. He has some pictures up on his site. www.Kaleonahe.com. My experience with Jean has been great so far. I have been out to see her a couple of times. I can't wait to pick up my pup in 3 weeks!

As of right now, I will be picking up my little girl on Friday. She is from a breeder who has been breeding and showing for 19 years. I am so looking forward to seeing her. In the meantime I've been shopping for a new crate, chew bones, etc. I am so excited.

Really cute…is her breeder Andrew @ Kivu?
Really cute!!! and that would be my guess too…. Andrew... Let us know as many of us are related by our Basenjis.... And some of Andrew's (if that is the breeder) has related Basenjis to my C-Me and Franie.....
-
Wow, she is adorable..how exciting…congratulations again.

+1 - please let us know who the parents are…Andrew has one of my girl Ruby's daughters (Raven) and I think she was bred this year.

Sorry, I was rushing before and didn't give the name of the breeder, but yes, it is Andrew Sawler. I'll meet him tomorrow, but from talking to him on the phone and emails, he sounds like a very nice person.
So very cool that Renaultf1, you apparently have my pups grandmother, because Raven is the mom and Obo is the dad. My pup was named by Andrew and even though he said I could change it, I actually like her name and it seems very appropriate for me, since I'm a kindergarten teacher. Her name is Ellaminnowpea, Ella for short. In kindergarten, the kids like to say LMNOP as if it were one word. I think Ella is a pretty name, so that's what I will call her. I am so excited. I can't wait. I will post more pictures when she is finally home. I've been doing a lot of shopping, including online getting her some things. I just want to hold and cuddle her. I probably won't get a lot of sleep tonight!

OMG, her name is too cute!!! I love it and your pup is very cute. Andrew is a super nice person and wickedly funny - and very knowledgeable and helpful. Very cool that my Ruby is your pup's grandma - I've always thought Raven is lovely! Definitely post pics up when you get Ella.
Congrats again!
