Hi Tanza,
Yes, I’m sure. I am sure there are a lot of great folks there too. As with anything, it requires due diligence.
Best,
Adina
WOW all I can say is you all are right but I wanted to know what everyone had to say. I was saying the price was WAY to high but she seems to think other wise. I told her I'm not going to take him for various reasons. BUT thanks guys. For all of you, I'm just looking for a healthy basenji who I can give a loving home to be "owned" for his/her life =o)

It is a boy and a young adult not a puppy.

And from a good breeder, who is not in it for the money.
Giving for profit breedes your hard earned money for ANY reason, even if it is to give a dog a good home, will only incourage them to keep breeding iresponsibly. The only way to truly slow/stop these types of breeders is to hit them where it hurts(their pocketbooks).

And close enough to you also…. it would be a good choice and then later if you wanted to add a 2nd, would be fairly easy...
The lady who wanted 1500 sent me pictures of the male, he is very cute but I told her I thought 1500 was way to pricey and I said good luck to finding him a home I guess I'll keep looking and all she said was Good luck in the last e-mail..
Good Call!

Good for you… She sold a pup around here and got... (everyone sitting down)... 3,000.00 as a potential show dog.. NOT, NOT even close... it is way to sad to see someone that paid that kind of money period....
There is a sucker born every minute…as someone said...
Some lazy folks who don't do their homework, think $$ shows quality.
We all know that is totally false in the dog world.
I only hope the dogs go into nice homes.
That is what I want for every b out there!
It is amazing that so many people think that the "higher" the price the better the quality.. regardless of what they purchase…
Lazy is part of it as well.
If your buying a car, at least my family goes to the trouble to so some reading re pros and cons.
Those with $$$ and the "I want" thinking, just go down and buy the pretty red one.
I think often, that is what we are dealing with…
When she told me 1,500 I was shocked. He's a pretty dog, but I can't afford to pay that kind of money. I want a B but c'mon now.. I'll wait, let me know when you guys will be breeding this year if at all. I would like to know I'm getting from a responsible breeder who doesn't care about charging me a million dollars ;o)
Have you been in touch with yodeldogs about Rocky? There are many good breeders in the South East. I would think you would be able to get on a waiting list for fall if you started to talk to breeders now.

I know of a very nice r/w adult female up for adoption, she's located in Ohio; you can email her foster mum at cworsham@ctcn.net or you can drop me a note Meg can be viewed on Petfinder.com CCK9s New Leash on Life has her bio up; it's a non-kill rescue based out of Ohio.
Good Luck!
As for the quote of people thinking the higher price means a better animal…. I bought my Quarter Horse for $600.00 that was cheap in 1992; he was PRICELESS!
I am really amazed at some of the prices that puppy mills and large volumn back yard breeders are charging for their puppies - and poor specimins to boot.
I think they're trying to look legit! Knowing that most "ethical" breeders ask a good amount for our dogs (course mind you we have a lot of money stuck into our dogs prior to the "sale" price). And the fact that we're not into dogs to make money.
