Looking for a Basenji to join our family

Basenjis For Sale or Wanted
  • V

    My name is Vince. I am looking for a Basenji to join our family. I grew up with a tan and white male named Dusty when I was a boy. My wife, son 16 years old and myself are ready to welcome a new family member. I have such great memories with my friend Dusty as a young boy. We do not have any dogs in our home now. We had to put our mini doxie down about 6 years ago she was 17. We have a single family home In Chico, CA on a 1/4 acre fully fenced. thank you for any help.

    @venserro - It is now past the season when Basenji puppies are born as Basenjis only come in season once a year (majority) so pups are typically born Nov/Dec/Jan. Responsible breeders have reservations lists for their expected litters so pups from 2019 have been place and are in their new homes. You need to start now communicating with breeders for their plans for the Fall of 2020. I would also suggest that you contact breeders in the Pacific Northwest and So. California as there are only a couple of breeders in No. California (I am one of them but have no breeding plans for 2020). Go to www.basenji.org and you can search by state.

    @venserro - Note that if you are looking at websites with all the social media these days many are not keeping their webs up to date... email and follow up with a phone call. Just a FYI, would not be "tan"... but Red and White...

    You can also contact BRAT (Basenji Rescue and Transport) for available Basenjis. They do not have all the available dogs on their website, and they usually do not have puppies, but what they DO have is Basenjis who have been fostered, and their foster parents will tell you EVERYTHING about their habits and behaviors, likes and dislikes. Our Cassie was a BRAT rescue and she was such a good girl. https://www.basenjirescue.org/

    AND there is also Pam Hamilton's EXCELLENT Camp Basenji. Pam is the Basenji Whisperer and if you are lucky enough to adopt one of Pam's dogs, you will be amazed at the training they already have! Our latest Basenji, Binti, came from Pam and she has been a constant delight for the last 4 years. Again, these are not puppies usually, but five year old Binti settled into our home in a day! She is amazingly obedient (for a Basenji) ! Camp Basenji is found at www.campbasenji.org.

    Hope you find your forever Basenji real soon!!!!

    @venserro - Please be sure to check out pedigrees and also health testing, you should always check that out for yourself... I always refer anyone interested in Basenjis, including my own breed to Ofa.org to review DNA testing... you can look for responsible breeders at www.basenji.org and you would be better looking at the Pacific Northwest...pleaseask for references and for sure health testing.

    We have had our Basenji boy for just over a week. He came to us from Belarus to UK from a wonderful breeder who gave us lots of information, support and contact while we waited for him to be able to travel.[image: 1621799551369-received_507687556937191-resized.jpeg]

    All pups have been placed as responsible breeders have reservation lists. We are not at this time planning a litter for 2020 or 2021. I would be happy to talk to you about Basenjis. You can search for responsible breeders at www.basenji.org by state, however as far as I know all responsible breeders on the West Coast already have full reservation lists. You would be looking at litters possible in 2021. This is the time to connect with a responsible breeder and get on their reservation lists for 2021. And if you are looking for a dog that is hypoallergenic, Basenjis do shed and have dander so they are not really hypoallergenic. While they can do well with people with allergies, you need to spend time with them and more than one time. Be sure that you check out health testing yourself, regardless of what you might be advised. Tests for DNA testing is public knowledge at www.ofa.org. You need to have either a registration number or name to check this out for yourself to verify. I suggest all people looking for a Basenji, even my own, do this.

    Email me privately. Address in websites in signature block. I have had in excess of 100 enquiries since lockdown. The world has gone mad for puppies of all breeds. You are unlikely to find one this breeding season. Some breeders are already filling up lists for spring of 2022. Your research will have shown you that Basenjis are once a year girls. In the northern hemisphere this means most of them whelp around November or December

    @helle-devi said in Looking for a Basenji puppy to join the family in Los Angeles!: Denise Searcy @ Starfyre Basenji in Nuevo, CA Great! I'll PM you now. I saw the South Coast Basenji page as well and love how active the community is. I'm happy to see there are events and should I get a puppy this season, that there various meetups so I can make sure he/she can socialize well into and through adulthood. Thank you!

    My gut feeling is if you can't find a dog who is utterly good with cats already, your best and safest bet is a puppy. I suggest you get on a couple of breeder's list and wait for the perfect pup for your house.
