Only 1 Basenji but looking to get another

[Quercus]

Yes, we are very good friends. You couldn't get a basenji from a more caring breeder.

Chase is a gorgeous boy!!! We too are looking to add a pup to our home. Rocket is a 5yr.old neutered boy and we are looking for a female this time. I hope to find a brindle this time, but they seem to be hard to find here in Texas.

It is hard to stop at one. We had our girl for a year then got a boy for companionship. I feel they do best in pairs and even tend to get into less –- a bored Basenji (or any dog) is a bad thing! If you want a puppy NOW, Ann Harrison (Hacker's Basenjis) near Indy had 2 mid season female puppies available a month ago. If she still has them, that would allow the 2 to be a bit closer in development. She a wonder breeder and cares greatly for her dogs. We have had 2 of her's -- great temperaments! Dr. Tracy (Select Basenji's) near Dayton, OH is also planning a litter this year. She also has wonderful dogs. I've also heard good things about Rugosa.

if you are looking for someone in Ohio area, I would like to suggest CarolAnn Worsham- Hicotn Basenjis. She is Dayna's breeder. We have bred Dayna last year, she might still have one of her pupies (about a year old now). here is her web site www.hicotn.com.
Good luck

cmd & dana,

Thank you for your replies of breeders. We have put our name on two breeders list and hoping to add our name to a third list. I guess we decided kinda of late and lot of lists we are at the bottom keeping our fingers crossed. I will check out Hicotn Basenjis as well since it is closer to home.

Thanks Again,

Try again. It should work. Also Ann's site is http://www.hackersbasenjis.com/

Another fun site to check out is http://www.zandebasenjis.com/

We also got started looking a little late, we didn't know we would be adding another B so soon. But we lost our 13yr. old boxer a few weeks ago and the house sure seems lonely with only 1 dog. Rocket seems better now, but he sure is a lonesome boy. My breeder was out of town this week, I will talk to her on Sunday and see what her breeding plans are for this year.

I hope you have let the breeders know that you are talking with other breeders. As a breeder, I know that waiting for the litter is difficult since there are so many unknowns. I only take a limited number of people on my waiting list and refer to other breeders if I do not think I will have enough puppies. It can be very frustrating to find out after the puppies are actually here that a person you had on the waiting list and therefore told others that your waiting list was full is actually not getting a puppy from you since you were their third choice and now that pups are here they know they have one from breeder 1.

[jmcduff]

Yes … I have been upfront....actually the first breeder isn't sure I will get one... 2nd one doesn't know if the the 2nd bitch took... and third one speaking this weekend.

i just wanted to add here that i checked the brat website this morning and there are several brindles available. you can see them at www.basenjirescue.org

Chase is a most handsome boy. I think he needs a female companion.

Thanks Dayna,

I did and actually talked with her. Unfortunately she doesn't have anything available at this time. She got me in touch with another breeder which I don't think it is going to work out. So I am pursuing one in North Carolina with hopes this one works out.

I believe Susan Campeau in NC is going to have a litter. As well as Tad Brooks in central KY. I can't speak of thier dogs personally, only that they said they may have litters this year.

I still need to plug Ann (Hacker) Harrison who had mid year litter. I can't say enough good things about her. Our Smitty a Hacker he is the sweetest most gentle thing since our first from her line. I'd get another if we didn't already have 3!

Also I have an email from someone who is breeding from Ann's line if you want to PM me.

Sue Kite of Klassic Basenji's said she'd be having a litter. Our Ramsey is from her line. Ramsey is also a very gentle dog and is about to turn 12!

Quercus,

Thank you!
I was looking at breeder Rugosa Basenji's near Toledo Ohio. Have you heard of her?

We got our Basenji, Bisa [formerly Lucy], from Vicki. You can't go wrong with her and I think she may have had a new litter recently. She will direct you in the way to go! :)
