The folks that went to Africa to get these and some other pups, spent eight days in the jungle…..they paid $6.00 for each.

$6.00? $6.00?

When breeders go over to Africa to get dogs, who do they work with? Do they have contacts in africa that help them? how do they know where to go to get basenjis. this whole process is very very interesting to me.. i know a handful of people that live in different parts of africa, so just wondering a little more about it..

Is the r & w's toe nails black? I wasn't sure if it was just the photo or if they really were.

You will find a "big" difference of opinion on that :( … that is why I have said that I have seen some of these dogs that were brought in and "claimed" to be Basenjis... and again, I would say NOT even close.... For me, I say only certain areas.... maybe at one time many different parts, but those have now had the influence of the outside world and different dogs.. which have became what I call a "village dog"... and not a true Basenji with Breed type.
I thought they were found primarily in the Congo region and that's why they are sometimes called, "Congo Dogs".
No?

The ones that Jon has brought back are basically from the same region and I believe (Lisa jump in here as you are more up on this than me) from the upper Congo area, something in me wants to say near Sudan?… and I know that Dr. Jo did post where the ones that she brought back were from, in fact, CarolAnn, I know you are on here sometimes... you can weigh in..?...

I have reds with black toenails…. not all the nails, but some of them... and mine are all American Breds.

What next trip? This was the trip that Jon just took. Sounds like they brought 6, these two that are going to Sweden. Jon and Tonda have the other 4. Now Dr. Jo is still there and not expected till end of the month, I think…

I don't know what it is but the red and white seems to have a real personality about her in the photos that you have taken, she seems to be very camera friendly!

So, what is the real cost of one of these puppies? I know it's $6.00 for a puppy, but w/airline/shipping costs, subsequent health tests, etc. What do you think it boils down to reality?
