  • 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. :)

    At 18 months and 7lbs I very much doubt that he's got Basenji in him but who knows. It doesn't matter,- he's a delightfulchap and good to have you both on here. Looking forward to more pictures.

    hey, you could get your feet wet by volunteering to foster or transport Basenjis! Go to BRAT web site and sign up. ALSO, go to dog shows and meet some basenjis. We have california breeders and owners here so you can get some hands on! http://basenjirescue.org/volunteer.asp

    The choice is most certainly yours. And thank you for your interest in our breed. And now you may be able to educate others about the breed we care for.

    DukeD
    Hi cmd - My name is Jill and I am the recipient of a rescued male puppy, Duke, who I have since learned (after 4 months) is a Basenji, now 8 mos. old. I love this forum, because I have learned alot about this breed. I now realize that Basenjis are a challenge, but I believe the more I know, the easier he will be for me and my family. There is no turning back now because we are in love with Duke . Select "Bonnie Bell" a 10 month old female (from Emerant's the Instigator and Select in my Pocket) and "Ramsey" Geheep's Klassic Jim a 11 year old male (Klassic Eye of the Tiger and Baruh's Jessica Hahnd) Wish I knew where Duke's blood lines run. You must be proud. I am new at this and I love to read the stories and learn that I am not crazy! I am glad you're a veteran as are many forum friends here. I love the stories about the Basenji's extraordinary body of energy and their purposes. Can you guess why my handle is Crazy Duke? I can tell you about some unbelievable stories about Duke since bringing him home already. (That's why I'm glad to find this forum - Duke's not crazy, he's a Basenji.) She was an awesome dog and was very very loyal. I am so sorry for your loss. But the only comfort we have is knowing she had a great life being in your life. I've lost many doggies over the rainbow to squirrel heaven. I hope you'll share some more stories and help us new-B's here on the Basenji Forum.
