Looking for Basenji

Basenjis For Sale or Wanted
  • So I am from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. A guy I work with is looking to buy a basenji and he's down on finding any in Alberta. So I was wondering if anyone knew of any breeders in the Alberta area, even neighbouring provinces would probably be alright. I'm not sure if he cares whether or not it is pure bred. If anyone knows, please let me know. Thanks so much !!

  • I don't know of any breeders in AB. There are a couple in BC and some in Ont. There are a few illigit ones out there who don't do any testing-I wouldn't go there. Check out the BCOC site.

    I'm in Ontario and I will ship dependant on circumstances. If he would like to talk to me let me know and I will send you my website info and he can contact me through there. I will be breeding a litter this year and I know of a few others as well.

  • Has he had a Basenji before? If not has he done his research on the breed first? Go to the Basenji Club of Canada site http://www.basenjiclubofcanada.com/ and look in the Breeders Directory link.

  • He has never owned a Basenji before no, but he has researched them. Thank you for the info. I will talk to him.

    Oddly enough, there is another person in Spain needing to rehome their Basenji puppy. The fellow's girlfriend does not like dogs. The topic is "Basenji puppy for adoption (Spain)" and the guy is @Luc21. Hope you can contact him.

    @yahtzee92 Just make sure you see Mom with the pups if at all possible and you definitely see the health certificates of both parents. OFA website is public domain - anyone can research on it. Tanza is right. Any puppy farmer can pay the BCOA and get listed. It doesn't mean there is any BCOA recommendation or guarantee.

    I would never sell a Basenji puppy as a potential Christmas Present ! (and I don't know any responsibile breeders who would either) Presents often get the wrapping torn off and are then discarded - how about waiting until after the festive season when things have calmed down and you have time to cope with the exigencies of a new puppy ? Tanza's idea of giving a photo might work but a live puppy under foot on Christmas Day, among all the relatives and parcels - No.

    My gut feeling is if you can't find a dog who is utterly good with cats already, your best and safest bet is a puppy. I suggest you get on a couple of breeder's list and wait for the perfect pup for your house.

    If funds are an issues, you can do what I used to do before BRAT came along. Find out the vet of the family your placing him with, have the family pay you for your expenses and then take the dog to the new familys vet for the surgery to be fixed. Drop the dog off the day of the surgery and then new owners pu the dog. They get to pay the bill. That makes sure the dog is fixed, sets up a new vet record for the new dog in the family, and you don't have to pay anything out of pocket. Mostly, you know the surgery WILL BE DONE. Thanks for making sure he is fixed before rehoming. That is so important.
