Looking for a Basenji in Ontario or Quebec

Basenjis For Sale or Wanted
  • Hi there,
    I am in search of a basenji puppy and have been for about a year now. I am looking for a reputable breeder in Ontario, although we are right near Quebec, so southern Quebec would be ok too.

    I live on a 50 acre farm, that has 15 acres completely fenced in around the house, so there is NO access to the road. I own 4 other dogs - 2 jack russells, and elderly rough collie, and a chihuahua. Because of the number of animals, I am looking for a PUPPY only. I will not consider an older dog, because they don't settle in to our busy household as well as one who grew up with it.
    Also, because of my small 5lb chihuahua, the puppy needs to know her from a young age so they won't mistake her for a chewtoy ;-)

    Please don't tell me that a Basenji will always think of her as a chewtoy, or that I can't have larger dogs with a chihuahua etc. because my chihuahua gets along fabulously with my other dogs, one of whom we got as a puppy after we had the chihuahua. Because of this, those two are best friends and the jack is so gentle with her because she grew up with the chihuahua, and knew to respect her as a dog, not a toy.

    Anyways, I am a very active person, with an active lifestyle and 4 other active dogs. The pup would be well socialized and would receive the best care. I am trained in pet nutrition, and work at Global Ryan's pet food store, selling some of the best holistic foods around. Someone is here 24 hours of the day. We don't believe in having pets and keeping them alone. I work at my home, so they are outside enjoying the sun with me most of the day when the weather is nice.
    The puppy would NOT be an outdoor dog, it would be our pet. I have no intention of showing it, or keeping it intact.
    Please let me know if you know of anyone.

  • I sent you a private message :)

  • Welcome to the forum . I hope we can help you.

  • I placed a 2yo B with a 6yo Chihuahua 9 years ago… they LOVED LOVED LOVED each other!!

    You shouldn't have any problems.. good luck getting a new pup!

  • Thanks for the welcome!

    I cannot take an older pup (anything more than about 4m or so), as I have said, because of my busy household. I really need the puppy to settle in well. :o) I know that Basenjis normally breed late fall, so I guess I am looking more for a breeder who is planning a litter this year, so I can adopt a basenji next spring.
    If you or if you know of anyone planning a litter, please let me know! I will only consider responsible breeders (But I know that's already a given ;-)

  • Check the Basenji Club of Canada and Basenji Club of America websites.
    Many breeders will have listed their fall breedings [this is my assumption, as mine have been there for months] on their own websites.

    Do you also have children or just the dogs? 4 dogs does not sound chaotic at all to me… but I have two middle-school kids and their plethora of friends over here daily... plus my not-small-enough gaggle of dogs. Chaos is a given living [or visiting] in my house!

    Email me privately. Address in signature block websites. But this is not a year to be thinking about Basenji puppies. And lists for next year are being compiled by some breeders.

    @helle-devi Thank you for responding. I have already been in touch with the basenji sisters. I was not aware before I contacted them that they are located in CA. I think the distance between us is too great. If things didn’t work out between my basenji and one of their girls, the distance would be a problem. I did become a member on the Facebook site that you recommended. Thank you so much! I was unaware that such a site existed. Jo Ann

    @nomrbddgs: I did find a lady for you, unfortunately, Luther is sick and has taken a turn for the worse recently, so that meeting was cancelled even before I could tell you. I haven't found anyone else remotely close. Sorry!!! Thanks very much! We greatly appreciate your help. Let us know if you hear of any other Saskatchewan Basenjis for us to meet!

    @bernicem77: I'm not sure if you found a male, but BRAT has two males available in Ontario. Thank you. Just saw the latest dog post.

    If funds are an issues, you can do what I used to do before BRAT came along. Find out the vet of the family your placing him with, have the family pay you for your expenses and then take the dog to the new familys vet for the surgery to be fixed. Drop the dog off the day of the surgery and then new owners pu the dog. They get to pay the bill. That makes sure the dog is fixed, sets up a new vet record for the new dog in the family, and you don't have to pay anything out of pocket. Mostly, you know the surgery WILL BE DONE. Thanks for making sure he is fixed before rehoming. That is so important.
