This isn't for me, but I wanted to pass on that Lycia's lovely breeder still has two pups from her litter… if anyone was interested. I can highly recommend their temperaments and confirmation from personal experience.
Rainbow Bridge? Hah, just learned what that actually was as all pet owners soon find out :( . Yes, it's time. Was hoping to find a pup to soothe the pain...basenji's not easy to find. I'm relentless & striking out everywhere!
@markw cast you net far. We lived in Hawaii and found our love in New Zealand. Cost was $2,000 including air fare. He was well worth it. morse.stafford@gmail.com
@dagodingo - A very close friend told me after I lost one of my Basenji girls "you carry a piece of their soul in your heart forever"... I have always held on to that for all the Basenjis that I have watched cross the Rainbow Bridge
Please go to basenji club of america for a list of breeders. If a breeder is not listed there, you can be pretty sure they are not a responsible breeder.
