It has been so fun to find this forum and read about Basenji behaviors. We've recently relocated to Washington, D.C. and I would love to meet up with other Basenji owners in the area!
Hello & welcome from Canada. Hope you find the perfect match for your home. There is a lot of great info here, & you can spend days just doing your 'homework'.

I agree with the others that this is not a common practice among BCOA breeders. I am sorry that this happened to you and yes, you should get your deposit back.
