Looking to buy a Basenji Uk

Basenjis For Sale or Wanted
  • R

    My husband and I are looking to become owner of a Basenji. We are based in Norwich but we don't mind travelling within the UK.

    We know that breeding usually takes place at a particular time of the year, could any breeders please get in touch to be put on waiting list?

    Would be living with 2 adults in a house with garden. This will be our first dog but we are used to dogs.
    Thanks in advance
    Roberta and Anjay

    @Zande has a list of people waiting for Basenji's in the UK. Not sure how long it is at this point, but I would reach out and ask if she could assist you with updated information. Good Luck!

    @elbrant Don't think that she has a list, she can give links for breeders... but will really be hard this time of year.

    @tanza she has a long list of people wanting to get a Basenji puppy. As of yesterday it numbered 203. Which is unprecedented, normally 3 or 4 in a year.

    Some I have put in touch with breeders and they now have their dream dog (😍?). Others I have tried to dissuade as they obviously knew nothing about the breed and I tried to get them either back to the drawing board or into doing more research.

    Several have imported from other countries, only to find incorrect papers accompanied their pups and the kennel club here refuses to register them. Some are from health tested parents, some not. I try to persuade them to see health certificates of parents.

    I just hope all these pups end up in genuine loving homes and not as potential cash cows - for breeding stock to get on the bandwagon created by working from home.

    That is ending soon here and I worry our rescue service will become overwhelmed. Already puppies are appearing on for sale websites at exorbitant prices. Original purchasers looking for a profit ? The people to contact are our breed clubs and rescue coordinator

    For all of you looking for a Basenji - Thnak out of the box, there is a whole world out there. When I lived in Hawaii, wanted a Basenji. None were in the USA. Got hold of a person in NZ and he found me one and for $2000 total cost ( dog and airfare ) I got my first Basenji.

    @morsesa At the moment so many people are breeding because of the demand, and scammers are rife. People are advertising puppies and taking deposits when there are no puppies. It is also a risk that puppies from some countries may not have the right papers and can't be registered. Also that no health tests have been done on the parents.

    It is not as easy to go outside the box these days.

    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

    Post me privately (after you have read my website (thanks for the plug, Redial !)) and I will sendyou a list of the Breed Club secretaries. There are quite a few litters on the ground this winter bit I imagine most are sold or at least bespoke. You may need to get on a list for next season.

    Please do plenty of research before making a decision to have a Basenji. Where are you in the UK? - if near to me you are welcome to visit my Basenjis and talk Basenji talk. I'm no longer breeding but I think it's important to visit Basenji homes before making decisions. As Benkura says there don't seem to be any female pups available at present. The plus of that is that you've plenty of time to see as many Basenjis as you can. Most breeders are like me and would be pleased for you to visit with their Basenjis.

    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.
