Ideas, anyone?


  • okay, so my mom was on a puppy list and the breeding did not work out.
    here is what she wants
    red and white bitch
    akc full registered
    beautiful and sweet
    doesnt sound too hard eh? well nothing has worked out! i wanted to suprise her because she was heartbroken, but most breeders here do not want their dogs leaving the area and there are virtually no breeders where she is. i have looked at the puppyfinding sites and it is just too shady. (i am very anti using dogs for profit!) i kept hoping something would come up but no luck. the breeder said she would be first on the list for next year but she is very heartbroken. :( mom has two basenjis and used to breed and show a long time ago (like the 70s and 80s) she has had several champions. anybody have an idea?


  • When you say you wanted to surprise your mom, do you mean that you were going to get a puppy for her as a surprise or that you were going to surprise her by finding a breeder for her?


  • I don't know any responsible breeder that will place a puppy as a "surprise gift". There are far too many things that really need to be discussed between owner and breeder before a puppy goes to a new home to ensure that both puppy and owner are the right match.

    If your planned surprise is to find your mom a responsible breeder that may have a puppy available then you should probably start at the BCOA website, http://www.basenji.org


  • suprise her with a breeder with a possible puppy with be ideal. some of the dogs we have had in the past available on zande pedigree search
    Am Ch Shining Shayla of the Nile
    Am Ch Isis of the Nile
    Am Ch Tigger of the Nile
    Am Ch Starfyre of the Nile
    Full Moon's Freela of the Nile (did not champion but was pointed)
    currently living with mom
    Am Ch Undercover's Viva Las Vegas
    Am Ch Undercover's You are my Sunshine

    the pup list she was on was also undercover's
    her dogs are gorgeous but are both tris!


  • If your mom just wants a pet now, not to show, I'd contact Undercover and ask if instead of pup if maybe she has an older pup that didn't work out for show. Ditto on the Basenji club web page. Also ask Undercover about her line, not just her pups… she has a LOT of dogs out there, surely someone has a pup that didn't get a home because something fell through.

    Btw everyone, haven't abandoned the list... just had a lot of personal stuff from dear friend with terminal brain cancer to my 30 yr old niece dying suddenly 2 wks ago... has been a very hard couple of months.


  • oh yes, i keep up with gail. i know she is placing 2 older dogs this year (hopefully together) whoever gets these will be very lucky the girl is spectacular (jsa jsa) SOOO Vocal, i dont know the boy. if she considers seperating them i would love to have her for myself so fender could have a friend. i would have her spayed.
    mom has adults is not breeding them and wants a red puppy. there is a puppy in the works, thanks to this board :) could be as soon as monday! if it happens i will post pics of my extended basenji family :)


  • okay so she has found a pup. i have questions about the pedigree. the sire is sirius and the mom is brushyrun and sundiata. i can not get any information from sundiata about their dogs. i tried calling the number on the website…no luck. is anyone familiar with these lines? you can pm me if you would like.

    @zande and Jengosmonkey... I did send an email and asked about this pup, never got a response... most likely because I asked about health testing and pedigree... or that they did sell the pup. And Zande, you are correct.... across the pond, they are called puppy farmers...here puppy mills and/or back yard breeders (in it for the money)

    @senjisilly said in Basenji Puppy in US: Get Educated BEFORE you BUY I second this motion! Seriously... to quote the animal shelter I got my Aussie/Border Collie from during the holidays back in the day... "A dog is not for Christmas. It's for LIFE!" Let people who've been in this breed for some time, have contacts, know the in's and out's guide you. Picture in your mind a 15-year commitment. Help this breed by supporting responsible breeders who are passionate about the breed. How do you spot a Responsible Breeder? Insist on health testing PRIOR to breeding. Know your breeder's goals for the breed. Meet them! See if they're in @Zande's Pedigree Database. Read the Basenji Club of America Illustrated Standard on @tanza's site. Most of you won't ever show your dog and that's OK! Your breeder should know the Standard inside and out. They should be able to talk to it. Read it and ask them how their line supports the standard. Ask them what their breeding goals are, what they've been working on, where they are going, etc. That's fair. A good Basenji breeder is going ask you a TON of questions, AND THEY SHOULD! We want good solid safe homes for puppies, retired show dogs or dogs that don't want to show. Not every puppy will be a show dog. In fact, most won't be. Litters on average are between 4 and 6. Responsible breeders need pet homes for puppies that aren't going to part of their breeding programs. You can support responsible breeding by providing pet homes. Just make sure your breeder will make time for ALL your questions both before and AFTER the purchase. Mine will! :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes: :thumbs_up:

    Great news everyone my Brother and sister in law just E-mailed me. They were planning to get Benny out and foster… called the shelter early today and Benny has been adopted. He has a family now! I told them about Benny yesterday when I saw the post BDawg put up because they are not to far from that shelter. I'm so happy he was not put down.
