  • Hello I am from southern ohio and i am interested in getting a basenji for my husband for christmas! can anyone help me?

  • Are you or have you been a dog owner before? Bella is my first dog and let me tell you… she is a challenge, but I love her dearly! Have you done much research on the breed? They are a fascinating canine with their own little (and big) quirks. Beautiful animals, elegant and proud... with a mind of their own! The Basenji is quite active and very, very curious. Do you know if you want to start with a puppy or an adult? Please keep us posted with any updates and feel free to ask as many questions as you need to...

  • We are dog owners we have done our research on the breed and we are very interested in owning one. thank you for replying and thank you for advice!

  • Good luck on finding your new little family member! :D

  • Oh, and I am from Southern WV so we are practically neighbors…:cool:

  • Please go to http://www.basenjirescue.org
    and fill out an on line ap for a rescue basenji.

    Welcome Annie. We are in Columbus. Please consider an older Basenji. You can see some great dogs on BRAT's webpage that Sharron mentioned below. Even if they aren't in Ohio they can still get them to you.

    Thank you for adopting this beauty. She looks so much like my first basenji.

    My heart breaks reading your wonderful story of Dinah - it is so clear she is a huge part of your heart -you will have such wonderful memories of her when it is her time to give up the pain. I also do not believe dogs don't have souls - of course they do - the unconditional love they give, the way they try to help when you are emotionally suffering, the joy they get when they see you coming after a separation - all these and more are proof they are very soulful. A loving companion dog is God's gift. All our hearts are with you, and our tears flow with yours. God bless.

    I agree with the others that this is not a common practice among BCOA breeders. I am sorry that this happened to you and yes, you should get your deposit back.

    I thought about trying to contact a reputable breeder about any " extra " dogs they may have should the BRAT adoption not work out for some reason . I just got an e-mail from the BRAT coordinator who said my home visit should be set up soon . So I'm really hopeful . I have a degree in Social Work ( though I haven't worked in the field for quite a few years ); so , my heart just gravitates toward rescue . I guess we'll see . We just REALLY need a basenji in our home.
