Hi there,
Funny enough, my guy is from a breeder in Pembroke - just down the road from Ottawa! They've had litters on and off over the years, but I'm not sure whether they're active at the moment (last I heard, one of the moms was in a "false heat" and they might try again with her in the summer). In any event, it's easiest to politely contact whatever active breeders you can find in Ont/QC, and I find they're very nice and often able to refer you to others should their bookings be full. That's how I did it. Best of luck!!

@jodiemck100 Nothing around anywhere in UK now for a 12 month. Basenji bitches are once a year girls and in the northern hemisphere come into season Sept / Oct / Nov for whelping Nov / Dec / Jan. Then they take a well earned rest, and the breeders relax until it is time to think about pairings again. Puppies will have been scattered into their new homes by now.
Best get onto a waiting list - if you can find one not already full - for winter 2021 - 2022. Many breeders have carried their lists over - one breeder said he has enough enquiries / orders for four years. I had 240 (so far and still counting) enquiries since Lockdown and I haven't bred for over 10 years. That will give you an idea of the scale of the demand.

@zande - Very true Zande and also the litter size for Basenji are typically only 4 to 6 pups... so available pups are very limited.
