I think Tanza is spot on. Not sure where you are, but the Basenji Nationals are in Tucson in November. Assuming it's possible, I can't think of a better way to find a good breeder than to attend.
$300.00 Looking for new Home - Ottawa, Ontario - Male red/white Basenji

And if the breeder won't take him, please DO NOT give free! Charging even $200 helps you keep him in the hands of someone who cares, even if you donate the money to a rescue.

Hi,
I have no contract with the breeder. Copper was shipped to us from Texas. i didn't realise giving him away was a bad thing. Makes sense what you say.
I'll amend the post.

Do you still have Copper?

You can also list him with BRAT. www.basenjirescue.org
They do a great job rehoming b's. -
Hello I was reading about your situation with you basenji. I am very interested in him. I grew up with 4 basenjies. I fell extremly sad that you have to crate him for 9 hrs a day. I am a stay at home mom with two children. If you still have him I would love to see a picture of him or meet him. Thank you angelina

Angelina, this post is several months old, the original poster may not read forum often. You might contact Admin and ask them for a direct contact, or if they will contact the poster for you. It sounds like you have a good situation for Cooper. Good luck!

Oh thanks. I didn't realize how old the post was. I am knew to the site. I grew up with 3 basenji. My mom used to show our dogs. I would very much love to have one. It breaks my heart to see that people have to get rid of their basenji. I would love to buy one. But if their is one out their that is in need of a home I would very much like to help. Angelina

Hi,
If you are still interested, I'll post a picture, as soon as I can get my daughter to put pictures on my computer. He is super beautiful. Everyone just loves him.
Do you live in Ottawa, Ontario?

Hi,
I talked to my daughter last night and she really does not want me to find him another home, even though he's making her sick, (she's allergic to him). She threatened to leave home if I did. She's 18 so she could. I guess we will try and keep him. The good news is I did find a place that will pick up and drop off dogs, take them for long walks in the woods, and let them play with other dogs for the day. All for just $17.00 a day. So at least he's not in a crate for 9 hours any more and he seems to really enjoy it. He runs to the person right away and is excited to go and comes back very happy and tired.
