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.
4 year old brindle spayed female available
-
Ginger is a brindle and white spayed female. She is very sweet, with the prettiest face.
Ginger is best for an only dog home or with a VERY mellow adult male. She did well with her own male Basenji in her original home, but does not like female dogs at all. She tends to challenge assertive male dogs, which is why she is being rehomed.
Ginger is excellent with adult humans once she settles in - she is reserved at first, then quietly affectionate and loving.
Ginger was not raised around kids but should be okay with older, respectful, well-behaved kids. She was good with this family's teenager, for example.
Ginger is crate trained and walks well on a leash.
Ginger is located in Virginia. I would consider homes outside of Virginia if you're willing to pick her up (I will not ship) - so basically we're willing to look at homes in the mid-Atlantic region, mid-South in addition to Virginia/Maryland/DC/North Carolina - or even further if you're willing to drive to get her.
There is an interview process involved and an application to fill out.
Ginger had been placed but is going to be returned b/c of fusses with the family's Rottweiler. Her previous adopted family noted that she was doing very well otherwise and was extremely adoptable.
Ginger is spayed and is current on all shots and on heartworm preventative.
