    There's only a few basenji breeders in the area: Craigie, Nancy A., Flutesong, Hastings, 651-480-1133 Jones, Carrie, Ankhu, Eyota, 507-876-9987 Wuornos, Sally, Sonbar Basenjis, North Branch, 651.253.6784 I've met Nancy and Sally and they both have good stock (though basenji puppies are usually not available until late winter). I've never met Carrie. You might also consider a basenji rescue, via BRAT (Basenji Rescue and Transport), http://www.basenjirescue.org/ but be sure to tell them you are new to the breed. Be sure to consider the other aspects of basenji behavior besides the allergy part. As a breed they can be a "handful" even though they are on the small side; many rival Houdini as escape artists; they have extremely strong hunting instincts; and they don't particularly like being left alone with nothing to do. On the other hand they can steal your hearts. Generally breeders are willing to show you their dogs even if they don't have any available.

    @dorvaan: He's gonna be incredibly picky about his toys. We got him 5 different ones, to begin with. He ignores all of them, except for one. Now, little rawhide bones? That's a whole 'nother story….. If he spent a lot of time in a kennel he might not be used to playing with toys. If he likes food-based toys you could try a stuffed kong or or something like these… http://www.premier.com/View.aspx?page=dogs/products/behavior/busybuddy/squirreldude/description http://www.triplecrowndogs.com/product/1591/Everlasting-Treat-Ball.html You can get them on Amazon or a lot of other websites. I saw the treat-ball at Petco. And if you are interested in taking the puppy to a eye doc, I can get some recommendations for you. There are a lot of basenji people in the southern part of the state and I can get some references for you when I meet up with the basenji club this weekend.
