I would say that if one had planned to get a pup before this all occurred, then perhaps it would be good timing, as it would give one the opportunity of spending more time with the pup in the crucial early days. Of course things will change and the routine will be different, but there are ways to ease into the new schedule so it isn't an abrupt shift from always being there to suddenly being absent.
ISO Basenji in Midwest

Does anyone know of any breeders in the midwest who is still actively breeding? I am looking for a puppy/ young basenji in Minnesota and am struggling to find one. I am more than willing to travel.
Thank you for your time.

All of my basenjis have come from Tad Brooks (Meisterhaus- KY) and Jan Kahl (Jadaka- MO). There are a lot of great breeders in the Midwest!

Go to www.basenji.org and you can search for breeders by state
-
the AKC Marketplace lists a dozen or so breeders with pups (or pups coming)... not sure which would be the closest to your location. I don't know who is respectable and who isn't either... just passing the link along...

An excellent breeder nearby (Poynette WI) is Laura Mae Hesse (Laurel kennels)

@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....
