    Well as I said in the welcome thread, I live just west of Indy, and have been wanting a Basenji for a few years, my daughter is finally old enough where it is practical, as well as my schedule will now allow me to invest in one

    I am looking to make a Basenji part of our family and and spoil her or him rotten.;)

    Due to my wife's allergies we must have a purebred, but I am trying to obtain one at a somewhat "reasonable" price if possible. However I really can't put a price on what he would mean to us. so… let me know !!

    Are you west of Indy as in Indianapolis IN?
    I am in Lebanon if you are.
    I adopted from BRAT in Nov of O5 and I was very impressed with them as an organization. They made sure that my basenji and I were a good fit and the people are so nice.
    I also ended up with an amazing little boy who I wouldnt trade for anything.
    Check on the BRAT website, I know of one that is available to the right home, but there are usually more that are in the process of being posted. Get your home visit scheduled and let them know you and know what kind of B you are looking for and they may be able to find you one.

    Hurry up and get yours, its almost "dog park" weather:)

    My Squiggy and my sister's Petey love to go to the Eagle creek park. Maybe we will see you there!:)

    Squiggy and I went o Eagle Creek dog park yesterday and although it was a muddy mess he had a blast. Some of the dogs would not chase him (which is his fave game)….So hurry up and get yours so my B can have some competition out there :)

    BRAT really is great, keep us all her updated.

    You can search for breeders by state at www.basenji.org. Also you can find the link to the breeder liaison. This is the best way to find a responsible breeder. You can use this link to learn how to find a responsible breeder and what questions to ask. https://www.basenji.org/learn/ScreeningBreeders.htm You should always get health testing details and check out those results for yourself...just don't take someone's word on it....

    Research isn't over until you've read my Put-Off and the other articles about life with a Basenji while not doing the Breed a disservice ! Details are in the signature block - and talk to Bushwacker. She takes care of temperament and quality !

    @JoBlanchard said in ISO Basenji near Iowa!: @DebraDownSouth My babies are papered and pampered... and tested....and every puppy that went home went with their papers and a copy of their parents papers including test results . I have 5 Basenjis... and one is neutered... so I guess I am considered a rare backyard breeder. Backyard breeders *byb) can breed once or 100 times.. it isn't about how often. Neither is rare. In fact, it's the one-time backyard breeder who does the most damage in this country (all breeds and mixes, not just basenjis). Nothing rare about it. Most byb that I have dealt with only bred a few litters. Doesn't change their byb status. All registered dogs have "papers". Pet store dogs often have "papers" as do puppymills. In fact, there are a lot of puppymill/scam registries, so even dogs that aren't AKC have "papers." What makes someone a responsible breeder is having the genetic testing done on their dogs. It is understanding bloodlines and breeding to improve the breed, not just make puppies to sell. It is placing pet quality puppies on spay/neuter only contracts, and/or requiring owners to prove their dogs' value by showing, health clearances, dna testing, etc before they can breed. A responsible breeder isn't made by just having papers or pampering their pets. Sometimes they may only breed once or a few times. Deciding not to continue breeding a line or at all doesn't mean they weren't responsible when they did it. Do you understand what I'm trying to say? So are you a backyard breeder or a responsible one? Giving the names or akc numbers that you bred makes it easy to check AKC and OFA for health testing. It's pretty simple. There are also people, btw, who started out as byb, who truly wanted to learn, to do better, and got involved, educated, found a mentor and got a dog worthy of breeding and worked to become a responsible breeder. But the person has to actually want to do it. Other people start getting educated about breeding and realize they have really done an injustice to the breed and decide that the won't do that any more, but that they also do not want to commit to really getting into becoming a responsible breeder. Some of the most dedicated rescue people I know were once byb. So I'm not trying to beat you up, but without you sharing your pedigree, you're the only one who can say if you are a byb or a responsible breeder. As others have pointed out, responsible breeders are proud of their dogs and pedigrees and testing.

    @Roxy: And what's the most often phrase for breeding low quality folks like yourself? "I was drunk.":eek: nice punchline. This thread is out of hand.
