Breeder going out of business in IL

I know when my friend goes to the pet auctions, the bidding starts at $25.
Most of those b's go for less than $50.
Course, its not just the cost…its where do we put them when we start to rehab them.
Lots of folks are off on vacations with the families.
Sorry, I hate to be negative...
BUT reality is we needs to have $$ to get the dogs, places to put them when we get them fixed and used to homes...and then folks to adopt them.
Sometimes the $$ is the least of it.
Fingers crossed I can share some good news on this group. -

This person also called and left me a message at home… I don't wonder if she might be "prime" to take an offer for all 6....

I can't get over how the website says repeatedly that these people LOVE dogs. Yeah, love making $$ off of them. I mean, can they even wrap their heads around the harm they've done to each of those breeds?

I received an email from this person that stated they are going out of business and want to sell their breeding dogs and bitches… Don't know if those of you with BRAT or other rescue want to try and get these basenjis. Looks like they have 3 bitches and 2 males...
Wow, after looking at the pictures of these dogs my gut reaction is very poor breeding. Also in one of the pictures the nails of that dog were terribly long. Their physical condition leaves much to be desired. This certainly does not speak well for the person who runs this breeder farm.

@vstripe:

I thought some looked like barrels, not basenjis. :eek:
Although there was one that looked a bit thin to me; I think it may have been the little female that produces a litter every year. -

I also noticed the nails, and the fact that these dogs don't look like pure bred basenjis. They are kind of disproportional.

Yes, these are the "quality cough lie* that we need to get out of the breeding pool.
I so hope we can. -

Well, BRAT has phoned and offered to take them off this breeders hands, and please contact us if they want to give the dogs to rescue.
I understand from other lists, this woman is calling quality breeders to see if they will buy these dogs from her. They checked out the photos and lines, and lots of humors comments were shared.So, we will just have to see how it goes.

I agree with what everyone has said. These dogs do not look like they have been treated well over the years. Certainly a puppymill/BYB situation :( I hope they find some homes VERY soon…

Yes, and we can't share information if we are afraid the dogs will fall into the wrong hands. Jason, I so hope this person asking read the info the good breeders sent out..
re these dogs…
I hope they are sent to rescue, to be fixed and rehomed...
BUT if someone buys them at this price oh, I guess when this woman started selling them, she wanted $500 we can't control that...darn it!
I know the quality breeders are sad these dogs will still be out there breeding..
Me too!!
on a different note..
When do you get your rescue pup? -

This is where I got abby from, the male Sonic is abby's dad and the female Ivey is abby's mom. I very well might be interested in buying Sonic.

or rescueing him if brat gets them, i don't know about 300 for him, Abby despite her breeding habbits is a good dog, and she does not look like them she is not round and has good stance, she has also been fanconi tested clear. I figured when I bought her there was something up with this lady, but thought if I could rescue 1 dog that was one less for her to have, I only paid 250 for Abby. I would not trade her for the world, if brat gets them please someone let me know.

Maybe they just messed up the photos :o – those boys in particular looked really strange for pure basenjis.
I hope they can find GOOD homes (I'm not yet ready to take another).
