Looking for a puppy

Basenjis For Sale or Wanted
  • Hi there , we have been looking for a Basenji pup , preferably a male . Every link we are directed to has been unsuccessful. Please can anyone advise? I am in the uk 🇬🇧. Many thanks in advance

  • Hi to all. Same for me. Although i know most are going to breed shortly in the northern hemisphere, waiting lists arent easy to be included in...

  • In the US it is suggested that you contact breeders (would same for the UK) and develop a relationship with a breeder that you are both OK with each other... and you most likely need to be OK with waiting for the next breeding season since Basenjis are typically only born once a year... In the US you can contact with responsible breeders at www.basenji.org and search by state.

  • @liz-falzone Not sure if you are one of the 60 or so would-be Basenji puppy purchasers who has emailed me privately - PC is in the hospital and I am working on my laptop so can't access the list.

    But that alone does tell you a great deal ! I haven't bred a litter for 12 years now but am still getting enquiries - current breeders are also inundated. We have been weeding through enquirers, putting many people off this challenging breed if they should perhaps look elsewhere, and filling lists of known 2020 winter breeders. Many have been accepting visitors and establishing a relationship. And have closed lists.

    But breeders this winter seem to be holding their cards close to their chests, Rescues have been rehomed and Breed Clubs don't have many intended pairings listed.

    I may be able to help but need to know a great deal more about you - location, knowledge of the breed, children, working from home etc. My email addresses are on the websites listed in my signature bloc

    Same thing applies over here. No more puppies now until winter 2021 breeding season. If you email me privately, addresses are in the websites on my signature block, I will send you a list of breed club secretaries. Tested parents will appear on the OFA websites @tanza told you about. We use OFA to test our dogs too. Patience is now the name of the game, but you should be able to get onto a breeders list for a puppy early 2022, February or March

    You can search for breeders by state at www.basenji.org. Also you can find the link to the breeder liaison. This is the best way to find a responsible breeder. You can use this link to learn how to find a responsible breeder and what questions to ask. https://www.basenji.org/learn/ScreeningBreeders.htm You should always get health testing details and check out those results for yourself...just don't take someone's word on it....

    Research isn't over until you've read my Put-Off and the other articles about life with a Basenji while not doing the Breed a disservice ! Details are in the signature block - and talk to Bushwacker. She takes care of temperament and quality !

    @tanza: Great to hear…. and so much easier now that it can be done with the cheek swab. Yes, we have given an order for it at our Vet. :)

    In addition to checking out the Basenji Club of America's Breeder Directory, take a moment to read through the information at http://www.basenji.org/learn to see the types of questions you should ask a breeder.
