  • Brenda has adults also that she has taken back from buyers

  • Maria…welcome on board. I am so so sorry to hear of your loss, I know how empty and sad it is to loose a "furchild" after such a long life together.
    I hope you will find your new babies, whether puppies or adults soon.

    I have heard nothing but lovely things about Brenda and her pack..maybe a visit would be nice..
    I also know BRAT is inundated right now by dogs, especially in TX..but regardless of where you are, if you find another dog through BRAT that matches you and yours better..they will more than likely try to accommodate you.

    Good Luck and keep us posted..

  • There is also puppies available at Sherwood Basenjis - a little farther away but still a possibility. :D

  • Since it has been awhile since you obtained your first Basenji, please research any breeder you are considering and make sure they do health testing, especially the Fanconi DNA test for both the puppy and the parents. There are several breeders in TX that do not. Signet Kennels is a reputable and responsible breeder who does health testing.

    As is Sherwood Basenjis… Robyn Dubbert that was mentioned as still having puppies

  • Welcome to the forum - I do hope you find just the right Basenji for you soon. You must miss Penny - it's very hard to lose a loved old one..

  • Thanks to all of you for your responses and kindness. We have found a female basenji rescue pup and are still tryiing to locate a male basenji rescue pup. If this doesn't pan out, we're in contact with Brenda at Signet–she has been very helpful.

    So, does anyone know of a male rescue basenji around 4-6 months old that is available?

    Maria

  • Signet has very good sweet dogs, I just got my new boy from them about 2 months ago, he is a very pretty sweet dog. And owners were very nice and knowledgeable

  • We have adopted two rescue dogs from the Basenji Rescue Group here in Austin. They are working out wonderfully.

  • So nice to hear that 2 more basenjis have found forever homes. :)

    @ouidah: My name is Mardi. I live in Austin, Texas. It is pretty much the only cool place in Texas :cool: SNIP I leave home at 7:30am and get home at 5:30pm. I am concerned with my (potential) basenji's separation anxiety. Should I crate, get a dog walker or both? Check out Jami at http://www.austindogrunners.com You will see Nayru on their testimonial page! :) They come once a week for her run but are available to walk/visit.

    @longshot: Yes, I would love to adopt him myself… but I am a first-time dog owner, and I am a little intimidated by the reputation of the Basenji --even though in this case he is 1/2 Pug which has an "easier" reputation. Are they sure he is a basenji mix or are they just guessing based on the curly tail and erect ears? He looks more like a Chi mix to me. I just found out on Monday the new "hybrid craze" is the "chug" a Chi x Pug. http://www.flickr.com/photos/troynielsen/2236562915/
