Basenji on the Brain !

Member Introductions
  • Greetings all.

    AC here, I am located in Avon, Indiana. I have been having Basenji on the Brain for the last 6 months trying to locate one, and I am to the point of desperation:p.

    Obviously that's how I stumbled upon this fantastic site.
    Look forward to seeing all the pics and hearing the stories from all the lucky Basenji Owner's. Hopefully I'll be joining those ranks very soon.

    Due to my wife's allergies we must have a purebred, but I am trying to obtain at a somewhat reasonable price.

  • Bob, have you talked to Linda Pence of Baruh Basenjis? She is in Westfield. Let me know if you need her phone number.

    Ahh Great! No I have not, please pm me her info.

    Thank you !

  • Our 12yr old Ramsey is from one of Linda's Basenji's and a very sweet guy. Have you tried Hacker's Basenji's? Ann is an active and very responsible breeder and she's near Danville. I can't say enough good things about her. We've had 2 of her dogs and both have had great temperaments. She's friends with a lot of other breeders in the area as well. If she doesn't have any available you could also try Select Basenji's near Dayton. I think she was co-breeding last year. We have a Select and she's a great little dog – a ball of energy though!

    I too was looking for a Basenji last year at this time. We lost our 14 yr old also year to date and felt a puppy would help everyone move on. Sort of became a mission. Puppies can be hard to come by this late, but we did find several.

  • Thanks CMD as well. I was not aware there was one nearby in Danville.
    If you could provide her info as well, I would be more than apprectiave.

    Thanks again .

  • Ok nevermind I think I was able to find her contact info online.

    thanks

    Nope, Tracy's breeding didn't take this year…but I think she is planning one for spring :)

    Hi there. I would do some DNA testing on him. However, if you go to the Colorado Basenji Rescue website, there is a mix at the bottom of the page. There appears to be some similarities. You could also email Peggy of CBR with your photos and ask her. She has been working with Basenji and Basenji mixes for a long, long time.

    I have to go read your link, but having been called to the shelter to see a chow that was an overweigh pomeranian, a rottweiler that was a lovely hound dog (Rottie rescue in FL told me keep quiet, they knew it wasn't a rottie but had a good home so just get it. I expected a LITTLE Rottweiler looking... bahahaha, no.)... vets who thought our basenjis were so many other things, not much surprises me.

    HI, we don't have many breeders in New Zealand but luckily there was one that had a website which came up when I did a search on the web and was given information about more breeders here. If you do find a breeder please make sure they are a responsible breeder and do all the health testing etc. Lot's of info on this forum regarding this and maybe someone can help further. Good luck with your search. Jolanda and Kaiser
