Looking for Female Basenji pup! UK

Basenjis For Sale or Wanted
  • Hello, I'm from the UK and my family and I have decided we are ready for a puppy, the Basenji immediately caught our eye.
    We are not first time dog owners my husband and I, but the kids are finally old enough for the responsibility and at least one of us is always in the house.
    We are looking for a Female pup, we would prefer tanned coat but we are open to other colours.
    If anyone could pass on any emails/websites of anyone you know of with a litter up coming as we can wait a month or two! We are willing to travel for one of these adorable pups, and cost is no issue.
    I've looked all over and the websites seem to be from years ago and I have been getting no response when I try and get in touch.
    Please help! I need one of these lovely animals
    Thankyou!

  • Most Basenjis are born in Nov and Dec and I think all female Basenji pups from last years litters have been accounted for. You could try emailing the secretaries from the UK breed clubs as they usually have a list of litters and can help to match up potential owners. Make sure you do your homework on the breed and the breeders and try to visit a breeder or two so you can spend some time with Basenjis before you make a final decision. Basenjis are not like most breeds of dogs and can be a challenge. Good luck with your search.

  • Please do plenty of research before making a decision to have a Basenji.

    Where are you in the UK? - if near to me you are welcome to visit my Basenjis and talk Basenji talk. I'm no longer breeding but I think it's important to visit Basenji homes before making decisions. As Benkura says there don't seem to be any female pups available at present. The plus of that is that you've plenty of time to see as many Basenjis as you can. Most breeders are like me and would be pleased for you to visit with their Basenjis.

    @morsesa At the moment so many people are breeding because of the demand, and scammers are rife. People are advertising puppies and taking deposits when there are no puppies. It is also a risk that puppies from some countries may not have the right papers and can't be registered. Also that no health tests have been done on the parents. It is not as easy to go outside the box these days.

    @gianna said in Looking for a female pup: as far as i can afford to go... I think @zande was asking what distance you would be willing to travel.... 10km? 800km?

    Email me privately. Address in websites in signature block. I have had in excess of 100 enquiries since lockdown. The world has gone mad for puppies of all breeds. You are unlikely to find one this breeding season. Some breeders are already filling up lists for spring of 2022. Your research will have shown you that Basenjis are once a year girls. In the northern hemisphere this means most of them whelp around November or December

    As I've said several times in different threads - Covid has brought out a plethora of would-be Basenji owners, not just in UK but across Europe. We are starting to fear dogs being dumped into Rescue when lockdown is lifted and people return to work in offices , having realised there is far more to owning a Basenji than just the facts that they don't bark, are small and keep themselves clean like cats. I have had well over 70 - probably 80 now the weekend's crop of enquiries has been dealt with per email and entered into my notes - and am at a loss to be able to tell them of a single breeder who doesn't already have a waiting list full to overflowing. Anyone posting me privately will receive a detailed response but it won't carry too much hope for this winter.

    @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
