@jordandwilly - Thanks for clearing that up.... 9-5 is just fine, IMO.... I work and have always had to leave mine when I was at work, never an issue. That said, we were able to set up the house that access to the backyard (with 10 to 12' privacy fences) with a doggy door and a dog room in the house for them, Locks on the gates so there is NO access for anyone. Dogs sleep 90% of the day so being at work doesn't bother them... never have mine even when I had a litter in the house (And have been in the breed as owner/breeder for 35+ years). You can hire a dog walker to take them out mid day..which is a good solution. and give them a mid day meal depending on their age. I do not and never have used free feeding, period. Especially if you have more that one... you never know what/who is eating what. And you can set up camera's on line to watch them from "afar".... LOL. Keep in mind people that many of us need to work and have day jobs. The most important thing is the time you need to spend with them when you are home. Example would be, if you have young children and you work... when you get home you are going to spend your time with your human children... NO dog would be happy if left out... they need their time also because they are a family member and need as much time as a human child. Again in my opinion

I hate to say it, but something about this seems a bit suspicious.
I found a Facebook page here:

Breeder is Suzy/Suzee Jones:

Poor puppy. Is this a legit request for funds? I can't tell.

Regardless if legit or not, this is one of the very reasons that people need to be prepared for things to happen if you are breeding…. as they say, "stuff happens"
I don't know who the breeder might be, would guess BYB

It looks like this breeder had a litter of pups last year also. I saw an expired ad advertising the 2011 litter for $550 each. I would love to know who the sire and dam is and if this breeder does any health testing!

I saw that too. I find the whole thing very strange. I couldn't really find any info on the people who put all this stuff up. I'm guessing it was done by the breeder (as opposed to a new puppy owner who put a deposit on the dog and fell in love with the sickly puppy). And I find that a little off-putting as I like Pat believe that as a breeder you have to realize that this sort of thing happens. If it was a person who got/rescued this dog, I'd probably get a wall calendar yesterday. As it is, I'll pass

Who would pay if the breeder had to pay for a C-section for the dam which is not cheap? This is why BYBs/commercial breeders should not breed. Many think it is so easy with few costs and they will get lots of pups to sell! I talked a few commercial breeders from bidding on Basenjis at the dog auctions-told them about the once a year going into season-pups not being available for sale until after Christmas, possible C-sections, and the not too large litters.
I had never heard of this problem in this pup until now. It sounds like a developmental problem in the womb not a genetic one. The health website she linked to was for humans not animals/dogs!
