Looking for a Basenji

Basenjis For Sale or Wanted
  • If it helps any, I've never classified myself nor been diagnosed with animal allergies but cats have always made me itchy, never had issues with dogs although I grew up with "hypoallergenic peekapoos"…Oakley has a very short fine coat yet he shed a fair amount and there are times he makes me a little itchy, I'm constantly washing my sheets and when he goes through his yearly shed I tend to get a little uncomfortable. I only say this because I didn't expect to have any issues and they are mild but I did notice sensitivity. After owning Oakley I wouldn't classify them as allergy friendly...

  • Please do not believe the BYBs ads that Bs are hypoallergenic or that they do not shed! They do blow/shed coat usually in Spring.

    Here is the Basenji Club of Canada Breeders' Directory:

  • And be advised that just because one individual basenji doesn't make you itch that does not mean they all won't. If it's been more than a 2 weeks since Digital the brindlewonderkid has had a bath, my skin breaks out and is itch if I hold him. The other two don't. Digital have a very hard coat, the others have softer coats, but you would not necessarily know that if you take home a puppy. None of my basenjis shed very much, but they do shed some. (Hardly any compared to a lab or GSD or beagle)

  • I will ask around to see if anyone not on this list is in SK

    Thanks! That would be awesome!

  • 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!!!

  • I hope you find your ideal Basenji but always make sure you 'meet and greet as you designate it'. I appreciate that you may have to travel to a breeder or even to an owner who is available to have you around for a while and answer any questions you have. You can learn a great deal from this forum too.

  • Just funny how different people read things. I am wondering if you meant you having allergies from the Basenji or if the Basenji is prone to allergies when in different environments… just a thought. It is my mindset because my B was brought from Tenn to Fl, and is on Benedryl when needed and my first B never had any 'runny nose or eyes' because he was born in Fl.

    Thanks very much! We greatly appreciate your help. Let us know if you hear of any other Saskatchewan Basenjis for us to meet!

    Oddly enough, there is another person in Spain needing to rehome their Basenji puppy. The fellow's girlfriend does not like dogs. The topic is "Basenji puppy for adoption (Spain)" and the guy is @Luc21. Hope you can contact him.

    @yahtzee92 Just make sure you see Mom with the pups if at all possible and you definitely see the health certificates of both parents. OFA website is public domain - anyone can research on it. Tanza is right. Any puppy farmer can pay the BCOA and get listed. It doesn't mean there is any BCOA recommendation or guarantee.

    My gut feeling is if you can't find a dog who is utterly good with cats already, your best and safest bet is a puppy. I suggest you get on a couple of breeder's list and wait for the perfect pup for your house.

    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.
