    Have you tried the BCOA Directory
    Heres a link but there are no breeders in TN. Maybe email some of them in neighboring states and see if they know anyone? Try to get a puppy from a reputable breeder who does the tests basenjis need.

    Why do you want to breed? And if you do, first you should find a breeder as a mentor and learn about the breed (more then just having one) and what it means to become a responsible breeder. Learn about health testing and what tests should be done before even considering breeding.

    Did you show or do performance events with your Basenjis when you were breeding and doing health testing? Obviously if prior to 2007, that was before the Fanconi DNA test, but other health testing that is recommended is Hips, Eyes, Patellas, Thyroid. And knowing offspring, siblings, sire/dam, grandsire/dam and their health is important too.

    Now however, Fanconi DNA testing is really important.

    I do have to say, I have been in the breed for 20+ years and I don't know everything about the breed….:)

    Let me get this straight…
    You live with your bf, you have no car, you can't travel... not much funds, other dogs live with your mom, and you think you know enough to breed Basenjis?

    Wow. Really? I think you probably know far less than even the typical byb, much less puppy mill. Why do I think that? Someone who really knows the breed would know what a can of worms your impressively uninformed post opened up. In fact it is so inflammatory I suspect you are really just a troll looking for attention.

    I am begging you to stop looking for a dog to breed and make a buck off from, talk to breeders, read the sites they give you, get educated, and swear off being an irresponsible backyard breeder. You'll respect yourself in the morning.

    Now, backing out of this thread because working with rescue and cleaning up after people who think they have a right to breed and create misery and hell, I am not the one today to provide you with calm education.

    just because i dont have my own car doesnt mean that i dont know alot about the breed. and for your info my boyfriend works for y12 in oak ridge,tn which is a bomb plant for the goverment. yes me and my mom has bred in the past and yes we had everything tested on them. listen all im trying to do is find a female that i can breed with my moms male. i dont wont to argue with anyone.

    assuming that you do know about the breed, about all the necessary health testing, etc., why do you want to breed? is there something special about your mom's male - has won some championships or has perfect conformation and temperament?

    you don't seem to be very picky about what female you get. i don't know anything about breeding, but i do know that you should be looking for a dog that is health-tested and healthy, has good temperament and conformation, and is well-bred (and akc registered). it shouldn't just be whatever dog you find close to you.

    i'm just suggesting that you evaluate your reasons for wanting to breed. do you want to keep all the puppies as pets, or are you hoping to sell the puppies?

    Can you give us information on your male..Sire/dam and such? That would be helpful to help us see what lines your basenji come from..

    yes he is akc registered. and i would have to have my mom look at his paper's to see what is sire's and dam's name's are. i would like to have a female that is registered or well bred. but it just seem's like everytime i look at one the prise on them is horrible and i gave 250 for the male i have now which is registered and has show bloodline's. and yes i wont to keep the puppies. like i have said in older post's i wont a female that will get along with a house cat and an 8 yr old little girl. i would love to find a pup that way it will grow up with the cat and little girl that way the pup dont think that the cat is lunch.

    didn't you post in another thread you were looking for a female for around 250$? Maybe things were different when you used to breed but between 800-1000$ is typical and usually isn't baswed on whether the pup is for show or pet. If breeding is what you want to do then truthfully, price should be the last factor you should be concerned with.

    "I know I've found the breed for me because he totally turns my life upside down and I love it!"

    I always thought Vickie of Rugosa basenjis did an excellent job of explaining why well-bred dogs cost what they do. Her webpage is a few years old, so we now have a Fanconi test and I'm sure prices have increased.

    then scroll down and click on the Puppy Prices link

    I'm also wondering how involved with rescue you are. Most reputable breeders take pride in helping basenji rescue.

    When my daughter was pregnant she would stop by once a week and Izzy would always sniff her all over , most of all her stomach and around that area, her husband was afraid of Izzy being around the baby when he came , because Izzy is not a real friendly basenji especially to my son in law. Izzy has never had any aggression toward my grandson, my grandson is 7 now and Izzy is always there to protect him, when the grandson goes down the stairs Izzy is just one step in front of him like he is protecting him from falling. I don't know about other basenjis but Izzy loves kids, but not a lot of adults.

    Wouldn't feel bad about the behavior of your basenji. I got mine six years ago and he acts a lot like yours. I kennel trained him and when I have company he goes in the kennel till he settles down. When I let him out I just tell people to be still till he checks them all out then he is fine. A lot of times he acts like he is going to attack me if he doesn't get his way vicious snarls and all, but I have learned it is just that an act . He also acted vicious around other dogs but after introducing them properly he gets along great. We have recently got him a new basenji mixed sister to play with, after the snarls and viciousness he loves her very much. I wouldn't be afraid to rehome your basenji, it at least give someone a chance to see what they can do.

    Oh Barklessdog, you are a brave person. I must now stand with you in insane-solidarity and admit I bought it too. It is awful but when you get the line "we couldn't say goodbye so we took him home" part, you know you got to help support the woman. lol

    @jdido09: I am looking into getting a Basenji and am really excited. I am a college student and am interested in getting a dog to train as a service dog (Canine Good Citizen). I want to get my dog involved in the Pet friend program at the local Children's Hospital, I know more people with therapy dogs of all breeds that came from rescue than from breeder… maybe because many of the people I know doing therapy are also involved in rescue, but please consider that a GOOD rescue keeps a dog a couple of months before placing. A GOOD rescue can help you evaluate and find a dog with the temperament. That said, sorry... I don't think a dog, particularly a Basenji, is probably a good choice for you right now. Why rush? Finish college, find out for SURE if you are maybe going to grad school or maybe ending up with some super job that demands many hours work or travel. I know you are excited... but think of being fair to the dog. How about fostering basenjis for a while. A win/win. You get to truly know the breed AND it gives you time to finish school and determine what your "grownup" life style is going to be. Rescues are full of dogs from people who were young and in college and THOUGHT they knew because it is hard to imagine the changes coming your way soon.

    Hi yul, Welcome to Basenji Forums! There is no dog breed that is truly non-allergenic (not allergy causing) because all dogs produce dander (shed skin cells), saliva, and urine. You can be allergic to the dog dander, dog saliva, or both. Urine is less of a problem since dogs usually potty outside. Pet hair itself is not an allergen, but it can collect dander, dust, and pollen. To answer the question about shedding, Basenjis do shed, but its not as much as some other breeds and they keep themselves very clean with their own grooming methods. Their coats are so short, though, with you'll hardly notice if they shed. Basenjis are known to supposedly produce less dander than other breeds, and many people who are mildly allergic to dogs can tolerate some of these "low dander" dog breeds with proper environmental controls. Be careful though, as there are no guarantees. People's pet allergies vary greatly. Severe pet allergy sufferers may not tolerate any dogs at all, even with the best environmental controls.
