Looking for Basenji


  • 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.

    @rjbasenji - this is the time to align with a responsible breeder for a pup maybe in 2021. Because Basenjis only come in season once a year and their litter size is only 4-6 puppies, it is difficult to find one especially will all the people that "want" one... If you can visit with a breeder that would help you or if not call them on the phone and tell them why you think that a Basenji would be a good fit for your family/lifestyle.

    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.

    @helle-devi Thank you for responding. I have already been in touch with the basenji sisters. I was not aware before I contacted them that they are located in CA. I think the distance between us is too great. If things didn’t work out between my basenji and one of their girls, the distance would be a problem. I did become a member on the Facebook site that you recommended. Thank you so much! I was unaware that such a site existed. Jo Ann

    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.
