    Welcome to the forum. Sorry you're having difficulty finding a pup. There is an imbalance between people looking for a Basenji puppy and available puppies. Basenjis don't have large litters, there aren't a ton of breeders, and there is only one heat a year. As a consequence the supply is somewhat limited. Plus, as I'm sure you're aware, breeding takes a lot of time, effort, and money. It's a labor of love more than anything. That said, I'd be quite confident that you'll be able to find a puppy. As I'm sure you know from experience, most conscientious breeders care where their pups land. In your case that's a good thing because there is a chance you'll have your dog compete, which most would find desirable. As for not being sure what a win looks like, judging is subjective. A loser on day one can win breed and class on day two. (Not only with dogs. I was reading today about how SnapChat has "pretty filters" that always turn eyes blue). It's easier of where the competition is performance based.

    They do not get hair balls…., as long as he is drinking water, not dehydrated and eating the chick and rice (use white rice as easier to digest then brown rice), I would see if he keeps that down. If he is, I would keep him on that for 3 or so days, then add back in his normal food over 2 days or so. And a pepcid once a day also... What are you feeding him normally? Many times you can get a bag of food that is bad or have a bag go bad. If he is keep the chicken and Rice down, I would suggest you get a new bag of food

    Welcome, and 'ditto' Janneke on the stories. I'm clueless when it comes to the racing aspect–-actually I'm clueless on many aspects, but racing is a big DUH?!?! moment for me.
