  • So as I understand it: This fund can be used not just to help buy a basenji so it can be properly placed BUT we can also designate some of the money for a case such as the one that Pat mentioned, where a rescue organization such as Medfly or Brat has a dog that needs some specialized medical care or surgery?

    If so, this certainly seems like a great solution.

    Pat

  • Pat, it won't be up to me. I am pretty sure you all have that point. laugh.
    I think it will be up to forum Admin and the forum members.

    I, for one, think it would be a good thing to help…whatever this group deems worthy. Be it a single dog, or a basenji group who has a special needs.

    You are absolutely correct. Members will decide which cause to donate to, but it will need to be run by the forum staff first and the fundraising process will be managed by Sharron.

  • I have the foster home all set up for this move tomorrow.
    All we have to do is touch bases after you get the dog.
    Can you bring him up to Silverdale?
    Please post to me at home.
    My foster mom will be on standby from 3pm on…

  • Harley, is a big, oversized basenji of very sweet temperment.
    The foster family is delighted at his sweetness and loving to ride in the car!
    The former owners have done a very nice job socialized him.
    I think JoNell will be posting some photos soon.
    YOU ALL DID GOOD!
    You helped a sweet basenji boy go into a nice basenji smart family.
    THANK YOU.

  • I meant to add that JoNell and her friend did a great job, to post this boy to you, and to go get him from the sellers home.
    Yea!!!!!!!
    A very nice basenji boy we can place in a good home.
    Yea!!!!!
    You all probably can't tell how happy I am!!!
    Hugs to you all.

  • I have the paperwork from the pet shop if anyone wishes to contact me off forum, unless you want me to put it here..I am thinking maybe not??
    Anyway, the top of the form says BJ's and Guys and in the center of the form, looks very much like the AKC forms I have seen says this puppy is registered with the American's Pet Registry.
    So, private inquires will be answered.
    go to the BRAT site and click on the Wa person, if you need to contact me…
    Again, hugs to all.

  • Harley is a VERY SWEET boy, based on my brief meeting with him. My friend and her daughter, who actually drove him to meet the BRAT contact, fell madly in love in just that short time.
    She repeatedly said, "If I didn't have such a cranky old fart for a husband, I'd keep him myself." LOL She was so emotional about him, and is hopeful he will find just the right home.

    I'll post a couple of photos as soon as I can get them from my phone! Dummy me, forgot to take my real camera.

  • Oh yeah, and my friend said to tell you all, even though she only "owned" him for a few minutes, she so very much appreciates that there are people out there who will give so freely to help dogs like Harley find good homes.
    She sends her deepest appreciation to everyone!

  • I send my deepest thanks to you JoNell!
    I would have never considered posting this boy to this venue.
    BUT you had the smarts to know that these folks really do care about b's and have helped us get this boy into the "right" home.
    So, thank you for all you have done to help one dog.
    With rescue, it really IS one dog at a time.
    This boy is very lucky.
    Thank you.

  • This is great! Can't wait to see the photos!

    Anyone who is interested in contacting Sharron or other BRAT volunteers privately
    can find their contact info here: http://www.basenjirescue.org/asp/ScreenersByState.asp

  • Thanks Alex, I have already had a few folks contact me re this boys background.

  • Sorry I don't have better photos. I can't believe I forgot my camera today…. ugrrr@me:mad: .

  • Honey, those photos just didn't come through?

  • @sharronhurlbut:

    Honey, those photos just didn't come through?

    Oh?
    Hmm, they show up fine on my computer. Weird.
    :confused:

    Try this link then: http://s111.photobucket.com/albums/n135/JoNell_63/Harley/

  • Aw he is a handsome boy! I'm glad members on the forum were able to come together for the betterment of a basenji :)

  • He is very sweet as well.
    The owner who had him did a very good job in socialization of this boy when he was younger.
    THANK you all again for helping this boy.

  • Harley is gorgeous! I'm so happy that he is in good hands. Harley has many angels on his side.

  • Yes, angels in deed!:D
    They are all on the forum!
    I am trying to get photos for you all to see.
    The foster home reports this boy is so sweet.
    Wants to sit by everyone, as close as he can be without
    being on the persons lap…

    She said, Oh, he doesn't do all the "bad" things b's do~
    Laugh.
    So, giving credit where its due, the first owner did right by this boy.
    And you all did great by getting him into rescue.;)
    Thank you all again.

    @debbie said in reputable breeder?: @tanza yes my mistake it was tested with OKC I got papers to prove it.. she was born with the disease Are you referring to OFA? If so then I would wonder if the pup's sire/dam were not the real sire/dam of the pup you got? Only if they are Afflicted with the Fanconi gene (the pup) would they develop Fanconi? Did the paperwork from OFA say "clear"?

    @Rob5098 I don't in your area. Like Pat suggested, you can go here: https://www.basenji.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=111&Itemid=94 Check NY and NJ and any other state close enough for a drive.

    @Channing's_Girl: I bought my pup from Mary Alaniz. She said his parents had been tested. He will be a year old in 5 days. So far no health problems. She was very nice and told me if I have any questions or need advice to contact her. I researched the breed and breeders for over a year before I bought one. I think if the dogs are well bred (in terms of genetics) and are healthy that it is oK if they are not AKC registered, especially if you are not interested in showing and are going to have them fixed anyways. Also, her dogs are pets to her, not just a dollar sign, she seems to really care about them, they live in her house, unlike some breeders who keep dogs in kennels. Good to hear. I bought my Basenji from her a couple years back as well. I got the runt of that litter (the last one left) but she's doing just fine.

    Yes, Arlene, you do need at some point to take a stand and trust what you see and what you like… Breeding comes down to that in the end.... And with a bitch that is only 1 1/2 yrs looking down from the top is not a very good judge... IMO... reason?... They are not mature yet... and they shouldn't be.... their ribs have not even "sprung" at this age.. again IMO.... I would be hard pushed to say a dog is "wider" in the front then the rear at this age by just looking down on them.... again IMO.... Here is a link to 3 pictures of Kobey, 6wks, 3 months and 5 1/2 months... everything I saw on this pup at 6 wks that I liked (and that is a bit early then the 8 wks usually used for evaluating pups) I still see... but there are differences while growing... Now granted this pup is one of the few that has yet to really fall apart with a growing spurt... And also the faults that I saw at 6wks are still there too..... www.tanzabasenjis.net/kobeygrowing.html
