Anyone know this breeder?

Breeder Talk

  • ARGH!!! I really HATE this store. It is very small, dirty, over-crowded inside and out with all kinds of stuff – from farm supplies to picnic tables. I went inside once to buy some crickets for a frog we had, and was claustrophobic as soon as I went in. They have a sign outside that always has a list of puppies available, always a multitude of breeds.
    When the woman told me she got the dog there 3 yrs ago, my heart sank.

    Man, I hope the right person calls her about this dog. From her description, he sounds like a really great pet.


  • I am hoping they will decide to turn him over to BRAT.
    Fingers crossed, that will be what happens.
    I also wish we could get that place shut down.
    I know the Humane society is over there a lot!

    Me too, on both counts.

    I've been wracking my brain - -how can I scare up $400 to buy him and turn him over, but….. there's just no way.

    I know many of you see and deal with such things regularly, esp. those involved in rescue, but this is the first time I've had one so close and it is B-U-G-G-I-N-G
    me that I can't help this dog find a great forever home.:(


  • I agree, with luck they will turn the B over to rescue…..

    I would also go crazy when I would know of such a case! Hope the owner will do the right thing!

    I'm so happy that it isn't allowed in the Netherlands to sell puppies in petstores.. (not that there aren't puppymills… :mad: )

    Also with any luck, someone that is responsible will buy this guy… and at least he is neutered... so that is a good thing... and seems like they are letting him go due to circumstances.. not because of behavior issues... of course the fact that they would rather "recoop" money is a poor excuse to not just turn over to rescue...


  • I'll donate to the cause. $50 from me. Anyone else?


  • We just had a friend die and instead of flowers, they requested that a donation be made to a cause relating to animals. So…I'll donate $50 also.

  • I guess this means we only need $300 more to get this dog out of hock.

    After seeing the Oprah show, it's REALLY hard for me to not go out there and start adopting every dog I see. However, I simply don't have the resources at this time but rest assured, when I DO have the resources I'll have a backyard full of B's! I have $50 bucks, though, so I'll happily donate to the cause of getting this dog into BRAT's hands.


  • I'll donate $50 also!


  • Well, don't forget me!! I can kick in $50. So that is $150…but by the time we trickle up to $400, he may be gone....or maybe, just maybe she will have called Sharron back and turned him over!! {fingers and toes all crossed!}


  • we're up to $200 now, right? I think jazzys mom and i posted simultaneously…


  • That's actually $200. We're halfway there. :)

    We have me, TuckerVA
    BasenjiDiva

    We have BRAT represented here. Can this person tell us how we can setup a donation link via PayPal for this dog on BasenjiRescue.org somehow? Either that or tell us where to send the checks?

    Does anyone know how to get in touch with Sharon Hurlbut? Perhaps she can broker the deal with the person selling the dog since she's already contacted them?

    It feels good to be DOING.

    And you can always call and "offer" the 200 instead of trying to get the entire 400.00, they might be willing to do it for that price


  • I really wish I could help but $50 is a bit steep for me right now. If some sort of account is set up I could probably chip in like $10-15. Sorry it can't be more!


  • Cindy is a BYB.
    She sells a sh*t load of puppies all over the country.
    Since she is irresponsible and does NOT take her dogs back.
    A ton of dogs she bred ended up in Colorado Basenji Rescues.
    We are constantly re-homing her dogs here in CO…very frustrating indeed.

    Careful Steffie….you might hurt somebody's feelings! No bad talking breeders, no matter how many of their dogs you have rescued.....

    <dripping with="" sarcasm="">

    off to slap my own hands....</dripping>


  • Let me know if you guys set up an account, I can chip in $10 or so, like Nina $50.00 is steep for me right now (My GI Bill is about to run out so I will soon have to start paying for college so I am saving where I can!). Let me know, I would like to help.


  • Ditto for me as well. :)


  • $10-$15 from me.

    I assume you mean for next winter's litters ? Nothing available at all right now - all this winter's crop will have been promised long since and be leaving the nest soon if they aren't already resettled. However, if you email me (see signature block - email addresses are on the websites) I will send you a list of Breed Club secretaries.

    @cheryl-goodman - Have you talked to your girl's breeder? Have you completed all health testing and recorded it with www.offa.org as public record, especially DNA testing for Fanconi and PRA? Have you done any showing or performance events with your girl?

    @listeme: Knowing how fast technology changes and improves, I'd be hesitant to sign up for a program like this if I weren't going to be using it in a couple of years or less. Remember VCRs? Cassette tapes? Telephones that attach to walls? :D lol. ya i suppose you all are right. At first i thought about it, but i dont know. I guess its still a good thing if you have to do more than one chip in a dog. and i think they said the microchips are good forever (whether thats possible or not) I guess its still worth it for me, IMO. Since rescue and my personal dogs. I can use that amount of chips (in rescue) within a year or two. So…i think its a good deal. Whether it is or not...

    @khanis: Not polished ??? Sorry, but that is one of the silliest things that I have heard in ages. **I'm sorry; to what is this referring? :confused: I have seen dogs that are uglier than sin.. in the show ring no less! People that can't breed a decent looking domestic basenji aren't going to be able to breed a decent looking African basenji! **Uglier than sin? Really? I really prefer health and temperament and function as breeding goals. IMHO. How is that for a bunch of African beauties??? **Your dogs are quite lovely. So are my two Jasiri-Sukari B's. But neither would win in a show. We think they're beautiful, too. And they both have sweet temperaments. Lucky us. :) s.
