@elbrant - I would suggest that a better choice to find a responsible breeder is to go to the parent club for the Basenji, www.basenji.org and search by state. Anyone can advertise at AKC Marketplace and not all that are on that site are responsible breeders. Make sure to do your homework first....
1 1/2 YO Tri Color Basenji Female needs a home in Oklahoma
-
The tri female from OK was delivered to her permanent home this last Thursday. Her new owner was pacing in his driveway waiting for us to arrive. When we got into his house and saw a full-size bag of Taste of the Wild Pacific Stream formula (probably enough to last this dog a month or more) and a chair full of toys, leashes and treats, we knew she hit the owner jackpot.
He just called to give Jason an update on how they are doing. We gave him our number in case there was any problem or if he needed any advice. He was just over the moon about Bella. He said she's just perfect, listens to everything he says, is friendly when meeting his friends (and the dog he met at the Halloween party this weekend at his friend's house) and that the only thing she has done wrong was chew on his cell phone. He quickly went on to report that was due for a new one anyway and it still works, so….
Does he sound like a true Basenji owner or what?
I told Jason to tell him we want pics. He wants to meet up with Jason in a couple weeks so Jason can takes some pics of him and Bella together. He wants one for his Christmas cards.
She looked great when we got her from the fosters. She had gained weight and the rash on her chest was gone, and the fur filled in just fine. I am sure that she is looking just fine and happy right now, curled up on the couch with her new owner!

This all started with you, Maya. It would not have been possible without what you did. You made one man and one dog very happy with the work you set in motion.

Way to go to everyone but most of all to Bella and her forever home. Sounds like they were so ready for Bella.

Hugs to you all.Sharon, I know you are trying to make us feel good about what was done for Bella and we do. So I am going to say this,
Sharon is probably the biggest gem of all when it comes to rescue. She is always there to give advice when needed, and works her heart out for these rescues.
So thanks for being there, especially when I need you (eg)

Thank you for the update Jason and Miranda, it's great to hear how things turn out

Basenjimamma, I checked that site and found 5 basenjis (one was a mix, one didn't know whether it was basenji or pharoah hound).

We did not mean to make a post in this thread

Great update, Thanks to you and all involved, this girl has a future..
Ditto-Ditto. Great ending to an otherwise sad start for the little girl. Good thing most dogs adjust to life so readily-good self preservation tactic!
