Markie, I think when adding a basenji to an existing household, it is most important to just get out and visit with lots of breeders and meet their dogs. Some families of basenjis get along great with other dogs and others are not as good. You really just need to be up front about your expectations and do some visits to see how the dogs are. That way you find a breeder with the temperaments you like and they know what you need in a pup and can match the pup with your household.
Basenji Breeder Ireland / Northern Ireland

Hi Basenji lovers,
I have just joined the forum hoping I will find a registered Basenji breeder in Ireland/ Northern Ireland.
I was supposed to get a puppy basenji from Ukraine back in July 2020 but the breeder has stopped the contact ... So I pushed the idea of getting a dog.
But yesterday while walking I’ve met a real life Basenji
and omg I’m in love 🥰
I have chatted to his owners and got some details of the breeder but can’t find anything about this lady.
She is registered breeder in Carrickfergus Northern Ireland and her name is Charlotte. That’s all I’ve got.If someone could point me in the right direction so I can contact either the lady above or another trusted breeder.
Any help much appreciated!
Thank youMonika

I know Charlotte. Email me privately, email not message, and don't expect an instant reply - am having cataract surgery tomorrow !

@zande I have emailed you on the email address I have found on your website zandebasenjis. Hope I picked the right one. Looking forward to hearing from you
-
@m0nia86 I got it but am away from my computer now until probably Tuesday but I will respond then

@m0nia86 Monika that was me you met
On Cavehill. We said afterwards how amazing it was that you knew the Basenji, most people don't know what breed he is! His name is Taco by the way, and I love him to bits 
It was lovely to meet you and your family. I can also send you Charlotte's details if you still need them. She is really nice and helpful. Wishing you lots of luck in your search

@alibobo oh my god ! How happy I am I have found this forum lol really what are the odds of finding u in here ?! Lol
After our chat I was so annoyed at myself for not getting Charlottes details from you
Can you please message me her contact details ? I had a lady who sent me Charlottes email address but no response so far so it would be great to get to contact her maybe over the phone if you have it
🥰Taco
love it ! We think about Paco or Pablo for the future baby basenji 
️Can’t wait to hear from you

@m0nia86 Charlotte is busy with puppies! She will reply but you really can't expect a reply within 5 minutes. You should give her time and not pester her with phone calls. She is a lovely lady and will come back to you as soon as she is able to. Have patience - I know this is important to you, but you should give her time.

@zande Hi Sally, I’m not thinking about pestering anyone
only want to ask Charlotte couple questions as Im not in any rush to have a dog right now.
I’m happy that I found someone local to me and want to let her know I’ll be interested in getting a puppy from her in the future that’s all.
Please don’t think I’m here on a mad hunt cause I’m not

@m0nia86 I know, what are the odds! I have not been up Cavehill in years also, so maybe it was meant to be that we bumped into eachother
I saw the forum notification about Northern Ireland and I thought hmmmmm that's interesting, and had to take a look.
I will private message you the email address that I have for Charlotte, but I am sure it's the same as what you have already been given.
