All pups have been placed as responsible breeders have reservation lists. We are not at this time planning a litter for 2020 or 2021. I would be happy to talk to you about Basenjis. You can search for responsible breeders at www.basenji.org by state, however as far as I know all responsible breeders on the West Coast already have full reservation lists. You would be looking at litters possible in 2021. This is the time to connect with a responsible breeder and get on their reservation lists for 2021. And if you are looking for a dog that is hypoallergenic, Basenjis do shed and have dander so they are not really hypoallergenic. While they can do well with people with allergies, you need to spend time with them and more than one time. Be sure that you check out health testing yourself, regardless of what you might be advised. Tests for DNA testing is public knowledge at www.ofa.org. You need to have either a registration number or name to check this out for yourself to verify. I suggest all people looking for a Basenji, even my own, do this.

I don't know where this boy came from, but am trying to find out.
Anyone recognize him? -
It's a good ad, honest assessment of his needs and issues right up front. Hope he finds a good home.

Sadly, its incomplete. This dog has bitten 5 times and several have required hospital visits/stay for the humans on the recieving end. This b was raised by someone who believed what they saw on TV re dog training and not the good trainers. Niles was told that growling or showing anytype of discomfort isn't acceptable. So now he goes from nice to bite without warning.
It will take a home who has had b's and biters to see if this boy can be changed. Great sigh. -
That sounds so, so hard. Were you able to talk to them directly, Sharron? I'm sorry for the family, but keeping my fingers crossed.

How sad
I hope he finds a home where someone can work with him. It is very difficult if they have learned not to warn before biting

Yes, I spent an hr on the phone with her about a month ago. I had a friend go over and see the dog, find out what the lady was saying today. Same story, except she learned
he was on bite #5. Sigh. This poor dog has learned this is the way to make folks stop whatever they are doing that bothers him. Sigh.
