*WANTED* Basenji in Central IL

Basenjis For Sale or Wanted
  • We are a family of 5 looking for a pet. Have some family members that have allergies, which makes the breed appealing. We do have 3 small children that are anxious to complete our family. We have a fenced in yard that has a doggy door to the sunroom. My husband works from home.

  • I know a breeder in Wilmington il that has 4 basenji puppies available.

  • Keep in mind that Basenjis DO shed and have dander… so it depends on how bad the allergies are... Basenjis are NOT hypoallergenic dogs

  • Sometimes I get a little itchy after holding my dog and they definitely shed! Most basenjis in the US are born in the late fall early/mid winter and breeders often having waiting lists. Check the https://basenji.org/joomla/ website and look for a breeder of merit in your area. You might need to travel to find the perfect dog!

  • Yes do your research also most breeders will give you a pillow case that they have their dogs sleep on and try resting on that's see if you get a reaction. Go to a dog show and pet the dogs.

    The breeder I am recommending is on the suggested breeders for Illinois, the AKC site Darkar basenjis I think is her breeder name?

    Either way Greyslake il is having a basenji speciality next week end, if you really want a dog, every breeder in the area including the one I mention will be there.

  • All the breeders in our area will get you basenji deep in them to test the waters. Also they are all screened for fanconi. I too got a basenji because of my allergies. I am allergic to everything, but I have little to no reaction to basenjis and we have three for twelve years now. Still everyone is different. Do your research on the breed.

    Hi Barklessdog, what activities will take place at the Grayslake event?. I have a Basenji and I am curious as I live close to there.

  • It's a dog show with a hound specialty. I was going to go if my dog still needed points but he finished last month. I don't know what other events they have other than conformation and you really aren't supposed to take any dog that isn't entered. Breeders/exhibitors will take future show dogs but walking around with a pet if frowned upon. There will be a lot of nice dogs and good breeders there so anyone looking for a B will be in luck!

    Where are you located? I have several breeders to recommend in the midwest! In the meantime, checking the BCOA list as Tanza suggested is a good place to start. Be warned though, puppies are being born this time of the year and many breeders have waiting lists!

    @DebraDownSouth: Still don't know why Debbi is really Terri, but at least I have the dogs sorted. Long story, but all with good reason :-) Teri is a good person and treats her dogs like kings. She does good by them and those pups deserve good homes… sooner than later we hope!

    Hi, welcome to the forum, nice to see someone elase from the UK here. Please tell us a bit more about your Basenji, have you any pics ? :D We lost our Basenji boy last year and have now got a 5 month old Puppy girl, Malaika. When we were looking for a Pup we were advised to go to shows to identify breeders.

    I just posted two pics of Sakari in 'My baby Bisa' photo album. Will give you an idea of the JRT / B mix she was … She was a terrific dog BUT she DID shed like crazy!!!!
