  • Anubis's MommyA

    I am in Oklahoma and have recently gotten into a new home with a LARGE fenced yard :) (Anubis loves it). Im more than happy to Basenji Sit for anyone who needs a sitter that lives in OK. I have lotsa room to run and plenty of nice walking places. (I live next to Lake Ellsworth). Feel free to PM me or reply to this post if you need a Basenji Sitter :) Im sure Anubis would love another B to play with for a few days. I am also Self Employed so I am here all day so there's PLENTY of play time and PLENTY of outside time as well :)

    What a nice offer. I wish I had someone closer to my place to take Wheat a few days a week so she could run.

    Yeah if you lived closer Id totally watch Wheat while you were at work or something. My yard is very large and totally secure so they are safe and can play and run.

    If it was me Distance wouldnt matter if it was a responsible sitter :-) My Anubis is very spoiled and well cared for. I have a lab mix puppy he has fun with too. She's 6mo. Im work at home so I am here all the time. My babies come in when it's too warm out…when they are out there's shade and lotsa cold clean water to drink.

    I will send my bro your number… not sure what they have planned for the summer, but they have a 10yo retired dual champion that spends her days lounging the house and may need a sitter if they travel in the summer.

    @planetsaver said in Basenji for me or not ?: Will be a problem to leave him alone, let's say 10 days / month an average of 9 hours a day. Also I do not want to have to much trouble with the neighbours, but I understand he can make some noise sometimes, maybe he can be trained to stay alone and not to bark that much. Why would you even think about training a hunting hound to stay home alone ? I would never let my Basenjis alone for more than 4 hours, and even that is very rare. 3 hours is absolute maximum. Like @tanza, I have sold puppies into apartment environments as long as all other boxes ticked positive. Someone there all the time, proper attention to training, not just leaving the dog alone, especially not as a puppy. btw, he won't bark at all. As you would know if you had really researched the breed. He will cry and scream but not bark ! No. At least you are asking questions but I really think you should find another breed.

    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.

    There's nothing like a basenji in the works, from the way they instinctively lay with their had on the bum looking the other way ( I've never met a B that doesn't) to the way you KNOW they all rub on wet towels or play bow…it's all very endearing and in this breed you often identify traits that they all have, an insight into their genetics and their behaviors. I've never enjoyed a breed so much.

    lol usually when you breed a bigger dog to a smaller dog the Male is the tiny one. Its just dangerous to do it the other way around. As far as DNA breed testing I would go for it if I could. But i am just interested in those kinds of tests. We offer them at our clinic but i haven't ever seen results for them.

    I doubt it would work but we are about 4 hours away in Snowmass and would consider it if there is any way you could make the trip here. We are from Michigan and are planning a trip to Detroit in October and are working on figuring out a dog sitter for that trip. We have a one-year female. It would be great to trade-out but I think are we are probably too far away from each other.
