Hopeful Basenji Owner

    Hello there! I met a Basenji back in New York and immediately fell in love with them! I have been doing research on them for several years, and I'm finally ready to bring one into my family! I know that the seasons for puppies is nearly here and I'm starting to contact responsible and accredited breeders via AKC and BCOA. I live on the Gulf Coast and there are not many breeders in my immediate area. I don't mind traveling to visit/pick up my future Basenji but it slows things down a lot. I can't wait to bring home a Basenji and give it a great home. If anyone has any tips, suggestions or recommendations on Breeders or Resources I am all ears! Thank you, I'm excited to join the Basenji family!

    Hello there,
    Where on the gulf coast are you located? I am in Florida and have two wonderful Basenji girls that I got in south Georgia. I can provide you with the information of the breeder if that is good for you

    Thanks so much! I am in Mississippi. I would really appreciate the info on your breeder. I did get in touch with Pat at Berimo Basenjis and she has been wonderful and seems very experienced and professional. She isn't too far from me either.

    @t-jones Hi. I too am in Florida, Melbourne area. Would you supply me with the breeder you spoke about that is in Georgia? I am looking to replace a recently departed male basenji that we had.
    Thanks

    Welcome aboard, but do share his registered name ? Who are Dad and Mom and what was his date of birth so we can be sure to add him to the Basenji pedigree on-line database (with a photo ???) for the world to share him. http://www.pedigrees.zandebasenjis.com/

    You can help allergic reaction with most breeds by simply grooming regularly and wiping down with even something like baby wipes. But no dog is hypoallergenic.If your allergies are mild you can do what many of us do, just take antihistamines. :) If severe, sadly you should not count on a basenji to no set them off. Some nonshedding dogs do better, but they also have dander and saliva, so they also are NOT hypoallergenic.

    Hello and welcome. Maggie looks basenji to me too. I agree with what someone else wrote about the "deer legs." She is gorgeous and very lucky to have you in her life.
