@jordandwilly - Thanks for clearing that up.... 9-5 is just fine, IMO.... I work and have always had to leave mine when I was at work, never an issue. That said, we were able to set up the house that access to the backyard (with 10 to 12' privacy fences) with a doggy door and a dog room in the house for them, Locks on the gates so there is NO access for anyone. Dogs sleep 90% of the day so being at work doesn't bother them... never have mine even when I had a litter in the house (And have been in the breed as owner/breeder for 35+ years). You can hire a dog walker to take them out mid day..which is a good solution. and give them a mid day meal depending on their age. I do not and never have used free feeding, period. Especially if you have more that one... you never know what/who is eating what. And you can set up camera's on line to watch them from "afar".... LOL. Keep in mind people that many of us need to work and have day jobs. The most important thing is the time you need to spend with them when you are home. Example would be, if you have young children and you work... when you get home you are going to spend your time with your human children... NO dog would be happy if left out... they need their time also because they are a family member and need as much time as a human child. Again in my opinion

@catherineseifert I am in Cincinnati. Send me a note.!

@redial I just looked up HiCotn and CarolAnn seems great! Is there any reason she's not listed as a breeder on the BCOA website?
-
@catherineseifert - It is optional if breeders want to be listed or not. She is well known in the breed and is responsible.
-
@tanza
Why would a breeder choose not to be listed?Debra
-
@debradownsouth - costs money to be listed, they may not want to spend it.... lots of people have lots of reasons. I don't question them. Bottom line, responsible breeders know who the responsible breeders are.

Visits by ne'er-do-wells. Unwelcome visitors, from people who do not ring for an appointment is one reason. Some people love their dogs, and like to keep them that way.

She has a web page, so that wouldn't stop them. So are you saying people who are on BCOA list DON'T love their dogs?
She's well enough established she doesn't need to public to find her, she has the testing and showing... basenji folk can see who's doing it right. I just wondered by someone wouldn't. I had not thought about the costs.

There is no need to verbal me. There are those that would do this.

Hi there! I live in CLE but I do go to dog shows in Columbus at the fair grounds. I think they are November and April? You are more than welcome to meet my dogs there! If you'd like to meet my boys let me know! Also, there are a ton of wonderful breeders in OH. Sue Kite (Klassic) is in Marion and Laurie Owen (Spring Willow) is in Akron. My parents got their little girl from Laurie and she was ALWAYS happy to have us come visit! There is also Tim Huff (Victory), Becky Blansett (Epic) and Tracy Leonard (Select) who are all great OH breeders.

Check out Spring Willow Kennels! That's where we got our Basenji, Remus, from Laurie and she was great. She's not far from Cleveland!
