Mariah Akitas & Basenjis - Indianapolis, IN

Breeder Talk
  • Does anyone know anything about this breeder and her dogs? Is she well known and reputable as a breeder?

  • I don’t know her personally but I’ve seen her at dog shows and yes she is a legitimate breeder.

  • My husband and I got our Basenji from Mariah. Our boy is now 4 years old. We live in Indiana and communicated with her via email before we traveled to Indy. I can tell you she is very serious about this breed and our transaction went smooth and we are very happy with our boy (Rigley).

    Thank you for the replies. Yes, either a total scam or just irresponsible, deceptive and lying individuals trying to make a buck. I am so glad I found this forum. Federico

    She is BAD news..last year she had 5 litters, all of 25 basenji puppies, under a different name, bluebonnet basenji or something like that…stay away... I am pretty sure she is the one..hope I am wrong though.. as a side not..a reputable, responsible breeder knows all about Fanconi and does not rely on a vet to recommend testing..

    Everyone pretty much already covered what I was going to say :) I spoke with Toni before I got my boy because I am from Maryland. I ended up going with a breeder in Florida because at the time, that's where I was living. If I were to get another basenji pup though, I would definitely go to Toni. She was so great at answering any/all of my questions & also was very forthcoming about information regarding her dogs & her home. She offered, more than once, for me to come see her dogs while I was back in Maryland for vacation last winter.
