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!

    Email me privately. Address in websites in signature block. I have had in excess of 100 enquiries since lockdown. The world has gone mad for puppies of all breeds. You are unlikely to find one this breeding season. Some breeders are already filling up lists for spring of 2022. Your research will have shown you that Basenjis are once a year girls. In the northern hemisphere this means most of them whelp around November or December

    Even though breeders don't show on the on-line database, I do keep pretty full records, and by the way - please keep chasing people to send me litter data !

    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.
