Basenjis For Sale or Wanted
  • A

    Hi, I bought my last Basenji from Brushy Run, Beverly B. She was a wonderful girl but time called her home. I am wanting to look fir another older female Basenji when I am in Gilbert, AZ this winter. Someone made a recommendation several months ago and I can't find the info. Any recommendations on breeders in that vacinity that breed for health and longevity? I want a mature, healthy female that is non aggressive, good with kids and loves to travel in a car. Suggestions would be most appreciated. Thank you!

    I get it, everyone wants a healthy dog. Makes sense. But requesting specific personality traits could really narrow your options. Don't misunderstand me. I'm not saying that there isn't a Basenji out there that would be perfect. I'm sure there is.
    But I do want to remind you that traits like "non-agressive", "good with kids", and "loves to travel" are directly related to how you interact with the dog.

    If your children tease (any dog), the dog will learn not to trust them and it will affect the dog's personality. Even to the point of becoming agressive. The dog you get might be fine for a trip to the dog park, but not 6 hours on the highway. But that's something else that depends on you. Recognize that you will need to stop at a rest area and give the dog a chance to stretch their legs (so to speak) -- which could potentially add another half hour to the journey.

    Look for a dog that is healthy and happy to be with you. And make sure that you interact with them in a way that encourages the kind of behavior that you want.

    Thank you for your response. The reason I mentioned those traits is because Brushy Run dogs bred by Beverly were intentionally bred to have those traits. My 3 different basenjis all were great with kids, non agressive and travelled well in the car and motorhome. Everyone loved them because of their temperment......however I did get them as puppies. I'm no longer looking for a puppy but an older retired dog. The breeder should know if their dog possesses these traits. Because of my grandchildren who loved my last Basenji and were very good with her, I don't want to take a chance with an agressive dog. If it limits my options so be it. I am hoping someone who knows where Bevs dog are will respond. She has quit breeding since the loss of her husband. If you have any other suggestions, please let me know.

    oh... yes, that makes so much more sense! A blessing that you had one of their dogs. A shame that you might not have that option this time around. I do hope that you find "just the right dog". :)

    This is not the time of year to look for a Basenji in the Northern Hemisphere, let alone in Kent ! One breeder from there is reputed to have said he had enough advance orders for 4 years after the last year's rush to buy a Basenji ! But you could (maybe) get on a waiting list for next March delivery. Email me privately (address in websites on signature block) for a list of breed club secretaries.

    Are you saying he's breeding brother to sister, or just remarking he has them? Don't put all your eggs in one basket... bitches miscarry, have one pup, lots of things. As for whelping, I thought you said breeding and had to reread. The southern hemisphere is about 6 mos later for estrus. The below paper, I wonder if they followed up to see if basenjis are losing seasonal cycles. For the most part, estrus occurs within the months of September and October for Basenjis living in the Northern Hemisphere. Breeders have also noticed a second estrus sometimes occurs around March or April. In England many Basenjis have a second estrus (Burns, 1952). This has created some concern that the Basenji is losing its annual cycle since leaving Africa. The tendency for a second annual cycle has existed in Africa and in the Bitches imported from Africa.... https://www.basenji.org/african/joha0210.htm

    As noted by Debra, go to www.basenji.org and search for breeders. Most of the reputable breeders are listed here, but not all. Go to https://basenji.org/index.php/about-basenjis/is-a-basenji-right-for-me, there is a link about screening breeders. These are questions you should ask potential breeders. They should provide you with links the the OFA testing base. DNA testing for Fanconi and PRA are public knowledge. Here is an example of one of my listings on the OFA database.https://www.ofa.org/advanced-search?f=sr&appnum=1415062. For sure Fanconi DNA and PRA DNA must be done, but most responsible breeders also test for hips, thyroid, eyes... however, those results are not always posted a public. But if done, the breeder would have certificates of the testing. Breeders typically show their Basenjis... some do performance events. This activity shows not only the correct conformation (showing) but that and/or performance shows temperament. If you have other questions, please contact me. You can find my email on my website link noted below. And I will comment as Debra said.. many breeder webs are not kept up to date, sad but true...I have always pushed that breeders keep their sites up to date as all "puppy back yard breeders do because people search the internet, but most you can find also on FB.

    Thanks everyone for all this information! He is a gorgeous pup (face marked like my Topper) but he is very far away. Interestingly, I have a friend who lived in Russia many years ago and had a basenji, it would be funny if I wound up with a Russian Basenji. There are so many here that need homes, though….....
